Lin, Knicks get a reality check

It was only a matter of time before we saw a bad game from Jeremy Lin. It was a real shame for the New York Knicks that it came in such a big time matchup against the Miami Heat. The Knicks finally got their chance to prove they could contend in the Eastern Conference. They […]

Linsanity doesn’t come cheap

If I remember one thing from my economics class in high school it’s that the demand for a certain good or service drives up the price. Well here’s the practical use for that lesson: If you want to see Jeremy Lin and the New York Knicks against the Miami Heat on Thursday, be prepared to […]

Dirk moves into 20th on all-time scoring list

The list of accomplishments for Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki continues to grow longer.

Are the Celtics falling apart?

It is starting to look like the wheels may be coming off in Boston. The Celtics got blown out by the lowly Detroit Pistons yesterday, their second loss to the 11-22 team in less than a week. The Celtics are sitting at 15-15 right now, and with two tough games coming up against the Dallas […]

Is J.R. Smith a good fit for the Knicks?

The New York Knicks may want to see if they can start playing their games with 2 basketballs instead of 1. Either that or they’ll have to score 140 points a game to make sure everyone gets the points they want. The Knicks are adding shooting guard J.R. Smith to their roster which already includes […]

Judging this year’s 3-point shootout

It’s almost time for All-Star weekend. My favorite part of the festivities before the game is usually the dunk contest, but after looking at the contestants this year, I might have to pick something else. Perhaps the 3-point shootout… Looking at the competitors this year, we should be in for an interesting competition. You’ve got […]

Wizards gaining some confidence

Nash joins in on the “Lin-sanity”

Has everyone found their seat? Yeah, there is not much room left, I know. We are going to have to get a bigger bandwagon for Jeremy Lin. This guy has been the talk of the town for the last week, and for good reason. It is like Tim Tebow all over again, except the guy […]

A plea for Howard

Orlando Magic fans are still holding out hope that Dwight Howard doesn’t want to leave. But as the Magic slide further down the Eastern Conference standings, the likelihood of Howard packing his bags is increasing. Howard has already requested a trade, but with the deadline approaching, the Magic haven’t gotten an offer they think is […]

Chandler and Brooks might be stuck

During the lockout, when some of the NBA players went to make some money overseas, most of them were able to get clauses in their contracts that allowed them to return to their teams when the lockout was over. That wasn’t the case for the ones that played in China. Players such as Aaron Brooks, […]

Ever since the SuperSonics left Seattle for Oklahoma City the city has felt scorned, like they lost a piece of their soul. In a way they did, and they have been fighting for that piece back ever since. There have been rumors and theories on how an NBA team could end up back in Seattle, […]

Davis with another setback; Knicks looking elsewhere

It’s starting to look like we may never see Baron Davis in a New York Knicks uniform. It was originally thought that we might see him suiting up at the end of January, now the Knicks are saying Davis won’t even be available before the All-Star break. “Coach Mike D’Antoni said Davis has had “a […]
