There was no bigger loser in the NBA Draft Lottery than the New Jersey Brooklyn Nets. After being Heisman’d by one free agent star after another over the last three years, a shot at Anthony Davis could’ve been that spark they so desperately needed to set Brooklyn ablaze upon arrival. That wasn’t happening however, and […]

No not Anthony Davis with pick number one. They’re good rebuilding from the rubble left behind by CP3 with the freakishly athletic big man out of Kentucky. That selection is already in the hands of David Stern while AD gets fitted for his new suit. When New Orleans comes back around to pick again at […]

Metta World Peace posted an episode of a YouTube show he starred in this week called The Ron & Metta Show. Pause. In this episode, he asks a female fan he invited on location if she’d rather go to dinner with Ron Artest or Metta World Peace. He also discusses his shorts size with another […]

Andrew Bynum is twenty-four years old. He just turned in his best season to date as an NBA’er, making what would seem to be his first in a long run of All Star Game appearances. His Los Angeles Lakers struggled at times this season, as they transitioned away from Phil Jackson and the Triangle offense, […]

The San Antonio Spurs still have home court advantage in the Western Conference Finals. That is important to remember as the series shifts back to Texas for tonight’s pivotal Game Five. For as good as the Oklahoma City Thunder have played to even out this series during the last two games, they have not won […]

Oklahoma City is thrilled with their Thunder these days. The fans all wear the same t-shirts to every home game, and stand cheering in unison until their faces are more blue than Kevin Durant’s uniform. That energy helped OKC get a much needed win over the Spurs last night, to cut San Antonio’s lead in […]

He’s Larry freaking Bird, first of all. But not only that, he’s also clearly separated himself as an executive from those legends who once played as his contemporaries. If he wants to come back, you let him come back. This isn’t Isiah Thomas or Michael Jordan looking to stay on as President of Basketball Operations […]

Vinny Del Negro never jumped through my television screen looking like lob city personified to me this season. Maybe it’s the mullet-y hairstyle he’s been rocking since his playing days, or maybe it’s something else. Whatever the case, I didn’t think he’d be back as head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers next season. There […]

NBA head coaches do not always command the full attention of their teams during timeouts in February. Their guys are sometimes watching the Red Panda as the coach sketches out an inbounds play on his dry erase clipboard. Sometimes that’s even understandable. In late May, however, with the playoff stakes driving all eyes towards that […]

Probably not the worst idea ever assuming Sheridan’s report is the one you choose to believe. With this past season feeling like a uber-slow removal of a band-aid that tears out as many arm hairs as possible on its way to exposing the ugly wounds that the Dwight Howard trade saga has inflicted on the […]

Chesapeake Energy Arena in downtown Oklahoma City has been living up to that Energy portion of its name all year long. Thunder fans have that place rocking through television screens all over the country, and have done so ever since OKC first entered the playoffs a couple years ago. With Kevin Durant’s first trip to […]

The Orlando Magic fired one of the five best coaches in the NBA this past season because Dwight Howard didn’t like him. We can assume he didn’t like all that nagging Stan did in hopes that Dwight improve as a player, but we don’t know that for sure. The day Stan pulled back the curtain […]

There’s a whole lot to like about Doc Rivers as the coach for the Boston Celtics. One of those attributes, for me at least, is his candor. If Doc thinks he made a mistake, he’ll readily admit as much. He tends to correct those mistakes almost as quickly as he makes them too. Throughout the […]

Tonight’s game at 10:30 ET / 7:30 PT against the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder is a must-win for the Los Angeles Lakers. I don’t like using cliche’s I know I’ll end up using again if LA does not actually win Game Three tonight, because I know I’ll end up using that same cliche’ again to […]

The Los Angles Lakers traded a first round draft pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Ramon Sessions at the trade deadline in order to improve their play at the point guard position. By improving that position, the Lakers essentially wanted somebody who could come in and do better than Steve Blake. There’s no denying that […]
