The New York Knicks’ season has been over for a week now and the Linsanity craze has been over for well over a month, some would argue longer.  Somehow, both are still making headlines.  Don’t look now, but a “Linsanity Rule” could be coming to the NBA.  No, we’re not talking Knicks fans getting overly […]

Earlier this week, Duke University and Team USA head coach Mike Krzyzewski announced he was most likely stepping away from Team USA coaching duties after the 2012 Olympics in London.  The Coach K/Jerry Colangelo rebirth of Team USA has been spectacular after the failures that were the 2002 World Championships and 2004 Olympics in Athens.  […]

Last night, a frustrated Dwyane Wade clearly shoved Darren Collison to the ground in transition, earning himself a flagrant 1 foul.  Many people immediately compared it to the Jason Smith foul on Blake Griffin, which was called a Flagrant 2, and earned Smith a 2 game suspension.   Even though the plays are similar, the […]

The Boston Celtics head into game 3 with the Philadelphia 76ers tonight tied at one game apiece in their 7-game series. They have only themselves to blame after scoring just 11 points in the 3rd quarter of Game 2, but they have to be a little bitter about not getting one last chance to finish […]

First it was San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker’s face getting etched into a Spurs fan’s hair and now it seems Los Angeles Lakers fans can also show their crazed support of Kobe Bryant with a Kobe Bryant hair cut… literally. Tonight the Lakers and Thunder will play Game 2 of their semi finals series and […]

You cannot blame everyone for being a little tight when the Lakers traveled to Oklahoma City for Game One of their matchup against the Thunder. It was not too long ago (about three weeks) that the league suspended Lakers forward Ron Artest Metta World Peace for seven games after he appeared to purposefully elbow Thunder […]

Derrick Rose is a tremendous asset to the NBA in every single way imaginable. That’s my professional way of saying I’m a huge fan of Derrick Rose; the player, the competitor, the leader, and the person. It was as devastating an injury as I can remember when he went down in the first round of […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Indy steals one The Pacers took advantage of a short-handed Miami team in an ugly (what’s new in the East) win that stole home court advantage from the Heat.  The Pacers turned the game into a […]

Though the Oklahoma City Thunder obliterated the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of their semi finals matchup, lost in the win was Kendrick Perkins aggravating a right hip muscle strain in the third quarter. Thunder coach Scott Brooks said Perkins did not participate in Tuesday’s practice because of soreness. Perkins received treatment in the […]

Roy Hibbert and David West don’t exactly light up the marquee like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade do. Casual NBA fans will pay attention to the Heat for as long as they’re playing. Casual NBA fans probably didn’t know Leandro Barbosa is even playing now plays for the Indiana Pacers. There’s currents of momentum pulling […]

This offseason could shape up to be a summer to remember for Javale McGee. Not only have the Denver Nuggets already indicated they are interested in bringing back the restricted free-agent center, but McGee very easily could return to Denver as a member of the Philippine national basketball team. The 7-footer already gave his go-signal […]

We interrupt your NBA playoff fever for an update on Team USA and the looming 2012 Olympic basketball tournament which will prove to be an exciting one. By now you all know senior members of the squad are dropping like flies. Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Chauncey Billups, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Chris Bosh all have succumbed […]

Though the Miami Heat won Game 1 over a feisty Indiana Pacers in the second round of the playoffs, however, Chris Bosh suffered an abdominal strain in the win. And it seems this strain is much more severe than originally thought. It was reported Bosh will be out indefinitely in the series versus the Pacers […]

Rashard Lewis’ salary follows him around wherever he goes. The maximum contract Lewis received from the Magic in the summer of 2007 has been an albatross hanging around his neck, forcing higher expectations on him and an impact his role could not produce. The Magic asked him to be more of a spot-up shooter and […]
