Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Missed opportuniities… There were four close-out games in 3-1 series last night.  Three of those series are now 3-2.  In Atlanta, the Boston Celtics came out to a big lead, blew it, went down big to […]

The New York Knicks staved off elimination with a Game 4 win over the Miami Heat but also lost point guard Baron Davis to a horrific knee injury. To add insult to injury, the Knicks also lost Iman Shumpert to injury earlier in the playoff series as well thus depleting their guard corp. However, with […]

Earlier this year, Steve Nash issued the ultimatum to the Phoenix Suns that they had to get better or he’d be gone. Even though the Suns have a good amount of cap room to work with in this offseason, they have to make the decision of whether or not it’s even worth it to possibly […]

The San Antonio Spurs will not be eliminated in the First Round of the NBA Playoffs two seasons in a row. Their recently completed round one sweep of the Utah Jazz will assure Coach Poppovich and the crew that much at least. From here, they’ll move on to play the winner of the Los Angeles […]

It is easy to criticize Carmelo Anthony. All weekend the broadcasts were displaying the not-so-glorious playoff record of Carmelo Anthony — 15-37 entering Sunday’s series-extending win over the Heat, apparently the worst of any player with at least 50 playoff games. Redemption came for Anthony when his go-ahead 3-pointer stood up and the Knicks defeated […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  San Antonio gets to rest The Utah Jazz gave it their best shot.  They really did.  And going into the series, some of the talk was about how the Jazz size could expose a weakness on […]

The Atlanta Hawks are down 3-1 to the Boston Celtics and will face possible elimination tonight as this series resumes in Atlanta. However, if the Hawks are going to stave off elimination, they might have to do it without the services of center Al Horford. Despite being one of the few members of the Hawks […]

In what ended up being the most gruesome knee injury this side of Shaun Livingston, Baron Davis will miss 12 full months after tearing three tendons in his right knee. An MRI on Monday revealed that New York Knicks point guard Baron Davis has suffered a partial tear of the patella tendon in his right knee […]

Joey Crawford is the old bald ref, everybody knows that. Maybe you don’t know his name, but if you’re an NBA fan you know his face. There’s no way you couldn’t either. He’s been in the NBA as an official since he was 25-years old and now he is 60. His thirty-five years of life […]

What a difference a year makes. Around this time last year the Dallas Mavericks were headed to the NBA Finals after beating the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now their offseason has already begun after getting swept at the hands of that same Thunder team. The Thunder did not change their team all that much, they were […]

The almost year-long Portland Trail Blazers general manager search is starting to bring up some old familiar names even while current interim  general manager Chad Buchanan hopes to have the temporary tag lifted from the position title. During the last two months, sports agent Noah Croom, TNT analyst Steve Kerr, and active GMs in the […]

The Dallas Mavericks defense of their 2011 NBA title is over after being swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday night. There was a lot said about how the Mavericks title defense was not an all-in proposition because owner Mark Cuban wanted to be a player in this summer’s free agency. That is why they […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder swept the Dallas Mavericks and will now wait for their next opponent whether it be the Los Angeles Lakers or the Denver Nuggets. And this waiting period for the Thunder could not come at a better time since Kendrick Perkins has been listed as day-to-day after suffering a strained right hip […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  On the brink Sorry, Denver.  You’re playing pretty well, but not well enough to beat the LA Lakers, who just have too many weapons, too many options, and too many guys that are just bigger and stronger […]
