A bad season just keeps getting worse for the Charlotte Bobcats.

When Thomas snapped back at Silas for calling him out in the […]

Things were easy for Tyreke Evans a year into his career. The future seemed to have limitless potential for him. He was the runaway winner for Rookie of the Year in 2010 and became the fourth player in NBA history to average 20 points per game, five rebounds per game and five assists per game […]

The wait continues for the Knicks. Or maybe it doesn’t, considering New York is 7-4 in this 11-game stretch that Stoudemire has missed since March 24. Stoudemire’s absence has freed up Carmelo Anthony to dominate the ball and allowed Mike Woodson to install the offensive isolation sets and defensive schemes he favored in Atlanta. Whatever […]

Earlier this week, Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov was in Brooklyn touring his team’s still-under-construction stadium and getting a lay of the land as the NBA’s Board of Governors get set to officially vote on the name change for the Nets and give the final OK for the team’s move from New Jersey to Brooklyn. This […]

A mid-April matchup between the Eastern Conference’s top two teams is must-see TV. At least it is supposed to be. This is supposed to be the point where two elite teams are rounding into form. Thursday’s game between the Bulls and the Heat in Chicago does not have the pizzaz it probably should have. Because, […]

The noise has died down some in the back halls of the Amway Center after Stan Van Gundy dropped the bombshell that he knew Dwight Howard had gone to management and asked the team to fire him.

It is a debate that is as old as time. Or at least as old as the NBA and the NCAA. March is often touted as the greatest month of basketball because of the unpredictability of the NCAA Tournament. Nobody ever knows who will win what game or how the whole thing will shake out. […]

In the end, we could all see this relationship was doomed from the start. Lamar Odom’s relationship with Khloe Kardashian is still going strong. But his relationship with the Dallas Mavericks, always rocky and seemingly forced by the whims of the NBA business, never really had the chance to work. Sunday, sources tell Marc Stein […]

The Knicks still do not know when Amar’e Stoudemire will return from a bulging disk in his back. Stoudemire will be back at some point and Mike Woodson believes it will be sooner rather than later. That is what he told Frank Isola of the New York Daily News on Tuesday before the Knicks loss to […]

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced its Hall of Fame class for 2012 on Monday in conjunction with the NCAA Tournament National Championship Game. Reggie Miller, Jamaal Wilkes and Don Nelson headlined the NBA luminaries making the Hall this year. The name that may have stood out to NBA fans though belonged to […]

Never count out someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to win. when Kobe Bryant is on the floor, just about anything can happen and he will do just about anything to assure himself and his team a win. Even if that means he has to take 20 or so shots or score […]

David Stern has said that his time as the NBA’s commissioner is coming to an end. One of his greatest accomplishments in his time as commissioner has been his tireless efforts to spread the game of basketball throughout the world. This has gotten to the point where you can legitimately argue basketball is the second […]

This is the time of year when the “T” word gets thrown around a lot. Most of the league is suddenly — or not so suddenly — realizing that it does not have much of a playoff future. The rest of the season becomes about positioning for the Draft Lottery. A horrible and depressing race […]

Mike Brown and the Lakers admit they are still getting a feel for their team. Adding in a new starter midseason in Ramon Sessions did not help, but this season has been an experiment for Mike Brown in his first year as coach. The Lakers have faced their bumps and bruises in that time. One […]
