Starting 5: Primetime

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Return to fame It had been six or seven years since TNT had broadcasted a Minnesota Timberwolves game. Kevin Garnett had long been a fixture that made the Timberwolves relevant. But as the team fell […]

Magic nearing crossroads with J.J. Redick

It did not take long for the first trade rumors to start taking shape after the December 15 opening of the trade season. The Magic figured to be a big part of many trade discussions thanks to the "transition" the franchise is in after Dwight Howard's departure. That has meant anyone is on the table […]

Kidd’s resurgence a big reason for Knicks’ success

Who had the New York Knicks on top of the Eastern Conference at 19-6 after 25 games? No one? It is a pretty big shock. This is a team that has failed to meet the potential of their talent for years, and now, all of a sudden, they look like they could compete for an […]

Gordon’s return can’t come soon enough for slumping New Orleans

  The New Orleans Hornets possible name change to the "Pelicans" is not the only adjustment the franchise is planning to make. Come this Saturday, the for-now-known-as-Hornets could be tweaking their roster with the expected return of guard Eric Gordon this coming weekend. According to John Reid of NOLA.com, Gordon will reportedly re-join the team […]

No timetable for Wall’s return

The Wizards have tanked this season with their star player on the shelf with an injury to his patella in his left knee. The injury was supposed to keep him out temporarily. It was supposed to be a month on the shelf. A set back to the season, but not a disaster. Well, Wall is […]

Stoudemire willing to accept new role with Knicks

The New York Knicks are 18-6 this year, sitting on top of the Eastern Conference. They finally look like the team they should have been for the last few years, and they have done it without Amar’e Stoudemire seeing the floor. Now that Stoudemire is returning from his knee injury, there are questions as to […]

Video: Bobcats’ Henderson puts Dwight Howard on a poster

Lakers' Dwight Howard is perhaps the most dominant defensive center in the NBA. This season he is averaging 2.6 blocks, and is pretty much an intimidating force in the paint for any would-be opponent daring enough to go the the rim for the basket. But last night, Bobcats' Gerald Henderson scoffed at Howard's reputation and […]

Shoe companies taking advantage of “old timers” still in play

Did you ever have a shoe you really wanted growing up and couldn't get it for one reason or another?  Mine were the Nike Air Zoom Flight '96, which  Dominique Wilkins wore his sole year as a member of the San Antonio Spurs.  I couldn't afford them at the time. Shoes don't brought back a […]

Josh Smith may stay in Atlanta after all

In the 2013 free agent class, Dwight Howard is the king of the class. No one is quite sure what his summer plans are (although he might). Chris Paul too is set to become a free agent, but many assume he will stay with the Clippers. Same goes for Paul Pierce and the Celtics. Andre […]

Video: Ricky being Ricky

It took a while for Minnesota's Ricky Rubio to make his way back on the court after dealing with a knee injury but he sure showed he still has that flare for the game. In his first game back versus Dallas, Rubio came off the bench and notched 8 points and 9 assists in 18 […]

Bynum says Kobe ‘stunted his growth’

Andrew Bynum has yet to see the floor as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, so we are still waiting to see what he will look like finally playing outside the shadow of former teammate Kobe Bryant. I would think that playing alongside Kobe would be a good thing. He draws the majority of the […]

Barkley: Knicks approaching Playboy Bunny status

Charles Barkley is never one to be short of an opinion.  The New York Knicks are never short of opinions on their performance. It was only natural that Chuck would proffer a critique of the Knicks and their surprisingly potent NBA season to date. Newsday quotes Barkley as such: Everybody in New York thinks the Knicks are […]
