Last year the Phoenix Suns traded Goran Dragic, best known for torching the San Antonio Spurs for 23 points IN A QUARTER during the 2010 NBA Playoffs, for Houston’s Aaron Brooks.  The trade really didn’t make a ton of sense because the Suns already had a starting point guard and Dragic was a great spark […]

Generally speaking, I think a lot of writers try to ignore ESPN First Take analyst Skip Bayless’ existence.  He’s become the poster child for what a lot of ESPN programming has become: two people sitting across the table yelling at each other.  Having said that, one of Bayless’ reoccurring rants is that Russell Westbrook should […]

Last night a John Calipari coached team finally reached its potential as Kentucky overwhelmed Kansas to win the 2012 national championship.  Now for a lot of us is when the fun begins.  Kentucky freshman Anthony Davis won the tournament Most Outstanding Player, Naismith Player of the Year and Associated Press Player of the Year.  Davis […]

Jeremy Lin’s season is done, but does that mean Lin’s run with the Knicks, which went from incredible to ordinary, is over? Between the arthroscopic knee surgery & his restricted free agency this summer, Lin remaining a Knick isn’t a lock.  As Newsday’s Al Iannazzone writes, Lin doesn’t feel like his time in New York […]

NBA Commissioner David Stern may be talking about retirement in a couple years, but that’s not keeping him from speaking his mind on the future of the league.  During a press conference earlier this week, Stern and Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver fielded a number of questions.  With the Final Four approaching, Stern and Silver were […]

It seems like just yesterday they were getting swept out of the 2011 NBA playoffs.  They were old, slow and didn’t seem to communicate all that well.  That doesn’t mean there aren’t people who weren’t a fan of the core of a team that won back to back NBA titles.  One big fan of that […]

I was looking at the standings the other day and was a little surprised to see the Chicago Bulls have already clinched a playoff spot.  I mean, we still have a month left in the season and they clinched about a week ago.  All this is happening with Derrick Rose missing an extended period of […]

We’ve got a total of two games left in the 2011-2012 in the NCAA season and there have been plenty of great players we’ve seen.  There’s Kentucky’s Anthony Davis, who at 19 is already the best defender in the country.  If he ever puts on 50 pounds, he’ll look just like Deebo from Friday.  There’s […]

The New York Knicks front line just lost a big piece to their hopes for making the playoffs.  According to Adam Zagoria, the

The Los Angeles Clippers lost their third game in a row last night, falling to the Hornets in Chris Paul’s first game in the Big Easy since he was traded last December.  They’ve now lost six of their last ten and haven’t looked great in many of their recent victories.  Wednesday night, Grantland.com Editor & […]

Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum is still young.  He’s 24, though it really feels like he’s been in the league forever.  This season he’s been healthy and in the Dwight Howard rumor mill, but he’s all been an All-Star starter and his having a career year.  So it’s been an interesting year for Bynum […]

You know who gets a pass on everything except this? Dwyane Wade. Anytime something goes wrong for the Heat, it gets put on LeBron. Wade commits bad turnovers from time to time and can also be late getting back on defense because he is busy screaming at a referee or staring him down because he […]

The free agent class of 2012 has a new number one guy and yes, it’s still a superstar.  Friday morning Deron Williams told reporters, including Stefan Bondy with the New York Daily News that he would be hitting the open market this offseason. “I’m not going to opt-in. It’s not monkey-see, monkey-do,” Williams told the […]

It’s been a pretty good season for the Indiana Pacers.  They’re currently second in the Central Division and in a slug fest with Atlanta and Philadelphia for fourth place in the Eastern Conference playoff race.  The signing of David West and improved play of Roy Hibbert and Paul George have all contributed to Indiana’s improved […]
