Chris Webber doesn’t appear to believe that Kendrick Perkins is the proper fit for the Oklahoma City Thunder. I say that only because Chris Webber said on NBA TV specifically that he doesn’t believe Kendrick Perkins is the proper fit for the Oklahoma City Thunder.  In response, Perkins took to Twitter to tell C-Webb to […]

As the Cleveland Cavaliers took to the floor against the Detroit Pistons for each team’s second game of the season on Wednesday, so too did three of the Top-8 selections from this past June’s Draft. While Tristan Thompson, the 4th overall pick by the Cavaliers, was already impressive himself in his debut on Monday (12 […]

The tenants of “Lob City”were not built upon the idea of Chauncey Billups hoisting nineteen shots per game and Chris Paul playing shooting guard. The pieces of this Los Angeles Clippers puzzle were meant to fit in such a way that lob passes floated like clouds, endlessly through the Staples Center sky, resulting in thunderous […]

Byron Scott told the Cleveland media before the Cavaliers opener on Monday that his decision to start the number one overall pick out of Duke in his first NBA game, over veteran PG Ramon Sessions, became “easy” once he decided on who he’d initially surround Kyrie Irving with in that Cavaliers starting unit.   Instead […]

Lawrence Frank’s job description is to instill a winning culture amongst a Detroit Pistons team who’s coming off two straight losing seasons, most recently finishing 30-52 last year. One of the main players he will look to in helping him accomplish that goal is third year Small Forward Austin Daye. In preparation for his team’s […]

I was looking forward to New York Knicks Rookie Guard Iman Shumpert’s NBA debut yesterday, and wasn’t surprised at all by the NBA caliber aggressiveness he took to the floor with. I expected him to look like a big, strong, guard with as much athleticism as any backcourt player in the Association, and for a brief […]

I’m tired of hearing people talk about how I’ve never dunked a basketball before, but it’s fair because I’ve never actually done so. In my prime I was able to rise up and hit the bottom of the backboard, but that’s still not technically dunking. Nor is what New York Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony does when […]

Things haven’t exactly been breaking Mike Brown’s way over the last few weeks. As he’s been working towards making his debut in relief of Hall of Fame Coach Phil Jackson, on a Los Angeles sideline he’ll share with Jack Nicholson, he’s seen Chris Paul almost join his team, then join the other LA team, followed […]

If LeBron James starts tapping his head with both hands after a made basket it’s definitely on.  As far as last night was concerned, it was just sorta on with Quentin Richardson. Don’t blame Q for the thing not escalating past the pushing and yelling part with James sliding across the floor though.   LeBron […]

A few weeks ago Mo Williams predicted that the Los Angeles Clippers would make the playoffs this season, and it looks like he’ll probably be right.   Since he went Namath on that prediction, his front office backed him up by acquiring both Chris Paul and Chauncey Billups, ensuring that there would be plenty of All […]

Instead of choosing Boston’s Big Three to team up with this season, David West has decided partner with Darren Collison, Danny Granger, and Roy Hibbert out in Indiana.  The Celtics trio may be aging, but they still have as good a chance as anybody at this point to cash one more title in before they […]

When Kevin Garnett is down on all fours and barking like a dog, you know he’s playing for keeps.  Even in the past when he’s wearing a suit on the sidelines yelling at an opposing inbounder, you know he’s giving everything he can emotionally for his team when you see him mean mugging all who […]

After being dealt last season in a package that sent Kendrick Perkins to the Oklahoma City Thunder, it never seemed like Jeff Green had much of a chance to develop a role for himself as a Boston Celtic last year.  Some thought this season would be Green’s opportunity for that, and it looked even more […]

You might think the Los Angeles Lakers are pretty bitter these days about the way David Stern and his henchmen turned Dell Demps’ attempt to trade Chris Paul into a debacle of epic proportions.   Kobe’s LA team extended a fair offer in exchange for CP3, and David Stern nixed the deal because he wanted too. […]

The Baron Davis that most people thought was sent to Cleveland along with the Clippers first round draft pick last season, in exchange for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon, was not the same guy that Cavaliers fans ended up meeting. In playing only fifteen games for the Cavs, starting nine of them, Davis became universally […]
