Vogel on Heat: ‘They are the biggest flopping team in the NBA’

Move over Blake Griffin. You officially have company in the flopping department in the NBA. Instead of being replaced by another player known for being a bit dramatic and over-selling foul calls to the refs, an entire team on the “stop the flop” campaign has essentially replaced Griffin. On Thursday, Indiana Pacers head coach Frank […]

Knicks need to regroup instead of starting over

The New York Knicks were eliminated from the NBA Playoffs Wednesday, losing to the Miami Heat in five games, making only two of those games look anywhere near competitive.  In the midst of that they lost two of their guards to catastrophic knee injuries and lost one of their cornerstone big men for a game […]

Video: Iverson scores 27 in Chinese legends tour game

That’s Allen Iverson, who’s getting a ton of love in China right now, dropping 27 in game that is part of an NBA legends tour.   I gotta say, the video kinda makes me sad.  I mean, this is what it’s come to?  This tour is a big recruiting trip as teams try to woo Iverson […]

Brandon Roy isn’t ruling out an NBA comeback

Ben Golliver at Blazers Edge chronicled Brandon Roy’s recent comments regarding a possible comeback this week, and I can’t help but read those soundbytes and hope for the best. Unfortunately, with respect to a return to the game he once played as well as anybody in the League, I fear the worst for Brandon. I’m […]

Will U.S. still be favored in London?

The NBA playoffs and NBA season is taking its toll on the U.S. Olympic roster pool. Already the U.S. has lost Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, LaMarcus Aldridge and Chauncey Billups off its finalists roster. It forced the team to add Anthony Davis and James Harden to its collective roster pool. It also had the U.S. […]

Charles Barkley discusses Blake the flopper Griffin

Blake Griffin is a spectacular athlete. He’s the greatest pure dunker since Shawn Kemp was a Sonic, his YouTube comedy videos are hilarious, and he’s even got me respecting Kia Motors a little bit. His post game isn’t quite there yet, but I think it’ll come eventually, and he just went for 30 the other […]

Greg Oden on being an introvert, a bust, and an alcoholic

In a game of NBA word association, the name Greg Oden would get you an eye roll.  It’s either in a “I can’t believe his luck,” or “he’s a total bust” or maybe both.   But we never really knew much about him because he never did interviews.  That is, until he did one that […]

Dirk willing to share the spotlight

For years Dirk Nowitzki has been the face of the Dallas Mavericks. He’s one of the greatest players of all time but no one can be on top forever. The Mavericks showed this year that they won’t be able to repeat the magic they had last year unless they get some help. Mark Cuban has […]

Heat find growth in losses

Of any team in the NBA, no team goes through the kind of micro-analysis that the Heat go through. Every win is not good enough. Every loss feels like the world is coming to an end. This is the price you pay for trying to win not one… not two… not three… you get the […]

Ewing, McMillan, You, Me All Bobcats Coaching Candidates

The Charlotte Bobcats began their coaching search seemingly by rolling a snowball down a hill and now it’s turned in to an avalanche.  The Bobcats have begun Michael Jordan’s version of Oprah’s Favorite Things.  You get an interview!  You get an interview! You get an interview! EVERYONE GETS AN INTERVIEWWWWWWW! ESPN reports Magic Assistant Head […]

Stern on schedule and injuries: they ‘may be related’

 The Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs should count their blessings or at least pray they are not the next teams struck by injury misfortunes this postseason.  Out of all of the team still alive in the NBA playoffs, the Pacers, Heat and Spurs can hang their hat on the fact that they […]
