The cynical side of me thinks that of course Carmelo Anthony is going to say publicly that he loves Mike Woodson because he doesn’t want to be labeled a coach killer after already getting one coach fired earlier this season. The more understanding, and less judgemental, side of me thinks that maybe Mike Woodson is […]

Maybe Mike Brown is connecting with his new Lakers team, and maybe Andrew Bynum is also maturing at the same time. Or maybe Bynum just played so bad the other night against the Thunder that he knew his only post-game move was to admit as much. After shooting 5 of 15 from the floor through […]

Atlanta Hawks big man Al Horford suffered a gruesome shoulder injury back in January that had him expected to be sidelined for the next three to four months. May 12th would’ve been about four months too, but it looks like he’ll be back sooner than that. After first telling Yahoo! Sports Marc Spears yesterday morning […]

The Portland Trailblazers lost an All-NBA caliber player to a tragically freak knee injury that cut Brandon Roy’s career much too short at the start of this season. They also drafted another potential franchise guy in Greg Oden who was officially released this season as well, after never being healthy enough to ever really play […]

The Portland Trailblazers have essentially fired everybody over last twelve months. Their General Manager was pink-slipped last May, their Coach was axed in March, and they even cut the last player they picked number one overall this season too. All this in addition to Brandon Roy being forced to retire, Raymond Felton playing horribly, and […]

Outside of not letting yourself get as fat as Shawn Kemp did back in the day, nobody really knew how to approach the lockout this past off-season. John Wall did so, not unlike too many other guys, by playing in just about every street ball-style charity event there was. Not to say there were any […]

Kyle Korver isn’t complaining about hard fouls this season because he’s never in the paint getting fouled. Jump-shooters don’t get fouled at all really, let alone hit hard, because they’re never attacking the basket. Derrick Rose and Blake Griffin are drivers, however, and make their respective livings by launching their bodies past anybody standing in […]

The Dallas Mavericks are the defending NBA Champions, and they currently sit with a record of 34-26. That is good enough to be positioned with the sixth seed out West right now, but also only 2 1/2 games ahead of the hard-charging Suns who occupy the ninth spot. The Maverick players are saying their goal […]

The Philadelphia 76ers opened the first half of this season as the warmest feeling feel good story in the NBA. They played their way to the 3rd best record in the East right out the gate, and seemed to be well on their way to a seed in the top-5 this postseason. Then Spencer Hawes, […]

It really was sad to see Minnesota Timberwolves’ Ricky Rubio go down with injury shortly after the All Star Break this season. He was a joy to watch not only for Minnesota fans, but fans of the NBA in general, and he couldn’t be a cooler guy too. Since suffering that season ending injury against […]

The Los Angeles Clippers have been awful forever. Now they have the fourth best record in the Western Conference though. As a result of the winning culture they’ve created in two months however, fourth best isn’t enough for them I guess. Reports are seemingly everywhere that they’re coach should maybe lose his job because he’s […]

I have a hard time lumping all NBA “busts” into one category. To me, the harsh classification of the word bust should be reserved for guys like Kwame Brown and Darius Miles. High draft picks, loaded with potential, who simply played a particularly poor version of NBA basketball throughout the life of their NBA careers. […]

The Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder played in a game the Heat won by five earlier this week, and there was some chippiness involved in the match-up. A couple hard fouls were exchanged, some free throw line trash talk expressed, and mean mugs were also aplenty. All of which lead Udonis Haslem onto Miami […]

It’s been a rough year for the Portland Trailblazers, and an even rougher one for Raymond Felton. I guess actually it’s been roughest for Nate McMillan really, who was fired in part because Ray averaged a career low 10.4 points per game this season, but all of this is besides the point.  What’s important, at […]

If you are a member of the Gasol family, stop reading this right now. Turn away. Do. Not. Look.  Things got pretty real last night out in LA thanks to your boy Blake Griffin. First there was part one, then there was this: Yikes, Pau Gasol.  For added laughs, check out Andrew Bynum’s reaction at […]
