The Nets season has been a dumpster fire so far this season. With last night's loss to the Lakers, the Nets sit at 4-11. Brooklyn is not where they thought they would be. Really where anyone thought they would be. Brooklyn needed 17 points from little-needed Mirz Teletovic to erase a 27-point deficit. Paul Pierce's […]

Knicks fans are understandably unhappy about their team's 3-10 start. New York is last place in the struggling Atlantic Division after finishing with the second best record in the Eastern Conference last year. No one is quite able to put their finger on why the Knicks are struggling. Ultimately, the buck stops with owner James […]

Warriors bench helps quell Pels Warriors 102, Pelicans 101 The Warriors have had their issues in recent games. The team is still finding its way without Andre Iguodala and being without Andrew Bogut for Tuesday's game was not going to be a big help either. Thanksgiving on the road is going to be tough. The […]

If you believe in the East Coast bias, this is not the post for you. Currently the Eastern Conference is reaching epically bad levels of struggles. Sure, it is early in the season and there probably is not much use in looking at standings quite yet. But just look at the standings: NBA.com – 2013-2014 […]

The Bulls received some bad news Saturday but i was not the worst possible news they could have received. Derrick Rose is out indefinitely after tearing the meniscus in his right knee.

Wizards searching for identity Knicks vs. Wizards, 7 p.m. The Wizards entered the season with expectations to make the Playoffs. They traded for Marcin Gortat before the season to help achieve that goal. John Wall even made a leap in his game scoring-wise with some pretty big performances already.

Trash talking happens on the court in an NBA game. If you have sat courtside (first, invite me to join you), you hear the good-natured and soemtimes not-so-good-natured ribbing players give each other. The NBA is a fraternity of former teammates. This though is like the kettle calling the pot black. During Wednesday's game between […]

Malone looking for effort Suns vs. Kings, 10 p.m. Michael Malone's job was never going to be easy. Not with the baggage involved with the Kings and the task ahead of rebuilding a team that has become a perpetual losing franchise the last decade.

Magic lose as Nelson sits Mavericks 108, Magic 100 Let the accusations of tanking begin in Orlando. The Magic's interesting near-.500 start took a significant hit Saturday night at Amway Center.

It has been three weeks into the season, and children in and around New Orleans still cannot get much sleep with Pierre the Pelican haunting the New Orleans Arena.

Butler injury adds to Bucks woes Bucks vs. Pacers, 7 p.m. Milwaukee looked like they survived Orlando without facing another injury. The result of the game was still in doubt and the Bucks still had a chance to win. With eight guys available to play, leaving with eight seemed almost as important. Then Caron Butler […]
