Will the Thunder pay up for a championship?

Last week we talked about how much the Los Angeles Lakers will have to pay in taxes if they want to keep the team they currently have together. It’s a lot of money but the Lakers might think it’s worth it if they can take home a title. Plus, it’s Los Angeles and paying that […]

Dwight Howard really likes being a Laker

If you are a Los Angeles Lakers fans, you will love this. If you are an Orlando Magic fan, then this will only fuel your dislike for Dwight Howard. Howard took to his official Facebook page and uploaded a drawing of him following in the line of past Laker great centers such as Jabbar and […]

Early handicap for the Eastern Conference

The sweat has barely dried on the floor at the O2 Arena (can I call it that now, or is it still North Greenwich Arena for the Paralympic Games?) and the NBA has reached its August doldrums. So, of course, we need to start wonderously predicting what will happen during the 2012-13 season. The super […]

Baron Davis hopes to return this season

You cannot help but cringe when watching Baron Davis’ knee injury from last season’s playoffs (Disclaimer: not for the squeamish). The 33-year old tore his ACL and MCL while driving to the basket in a playoff game against the Miami Heat. The recovery time for this type of injury is supposed to be a full […]

Jennings says Bucks are a Top-Six team in Eastern Conference

  There are questions Brandon Jennings needs to answer this season. Is he simply an explosive talent with the occasional ability to put big scoring numbers on the board or is he a young guard an organization can build around moving forward?  These are two different things. The latter would include leadership. Do you want […]

New Orleans pours cement, extends Monty Williams

Drafting Anthony Davis with the first overall pick ensured New Orleans had a future. That is what the top pick in the draft can do, especially one with unbounded talent like Anthony Davis. A championship roster takes more than just a superstar building block. It takes the patience of putting the right pieces around him […]

Video: McGee, Stoudemire & ‘Dream’ hitting the court

There have been many dominant big men in the NBA. From David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Patrick Ewing, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar but none have ever had the low-post moves like Hakeem Olajuwon. "Dream" used to be a nightmare for any would-be defender who dared tried to stop him. His foot-work was […]

Westbrook and Harden celebrate gold medal with… mustard

Russell Westbrook and James Harden are living the life right now. Fresh off a Western Conference Finals appearance and an Olympic gold medal, winning is in for the Thunder's second and third best players. Things are great. They are even starring in their own commercials sans superstar Kevin Durant. Harden has already achieved cult status […]

Hakeem Olajuwon thinks Javale McGee is awesome

Hakeem Olajwon summer workouts seem to include just about everybody in the NBA during the last few years. Last summer we talked about LeBron James learning from Dream, and this summer Dream's talking about his new pupil, Javale McGee. Maybe this opinion will get people's attention: Olajuwon says McGee should dominate the NBA. From an […]

What does Iggy bring to the Nuggets?

Lost in all the hype of Dwight Howard heading to the Lakers was a move that helped another Western Conference team as well. The Denver Nuggets picking up Andre Iguodala is part of the trade that deserves a lot more attention than it is getting. Iguodala’s game is not one you would immediately think meshes […]

2013 All Star uniforms leaked?

The 2013 NBA All Star game will be hosted by the city of Houston but that annual event is many months away. One aspect of the mid-season event is the unveiling of the All Star uniforms but that usually is in the days leading up to the weekend event. However, did the Rockets mascot, Clutch, […]

Stan Van Gundy says Magic handled Dwight-mare wrong

There is still aftermath coming out of the Dwight Howard trade. Orlando is still picking up the pieces, introducing Arron Afflalo to the media Thursday as their rollout of the post-Dwight Howard team begins to take a murky shape. The one guy many people wanted to hear from is the former coach, Stan Van Gundy. […]

Philadelphia + Andrew Bynum = Top Three Team in Eastern Conference

Miami, Chicago, then Philadelphia. Those are my top-three teams in the Eastern Conference right now. By right now I mean on paper. We certainly have not played a game yet, and I do realize that Indiana might disagree this statement. But I am going to make it anyway. What made the Indiana Pacers so successful […]

Some teams may be interested in Greg Oden

I would say it is unlikely that Greg Oden is ever going to shed his reputation as one of the worst draft picks of all time. He has already missed too much of his career and who knows if he will ever even see the floor again. Plus the guy that was picked behind him […]

Lakers luxury tax hit about to explode

This is not news to anyone, but the Los Angeles Lakers have one of the richest histories in the NBA. They took a big step in making sure that history continued when they traded for Dwight Howard and Steve Nash. They also made sure that the richest payroll in basketball got richer.  As Larry Coon […]
