Frank Vogel is already one of the league’s best up-and-coming coaches. He took over the Pacers in the middle of the 2011 season and went 20-18, helping guide Indiana to its first Playoff berth since the shameful and embarrassing “Malice at the Palace” and the darkest days in the franchise’s history. It almost sucks to […]

This season has seen the changing of the guard. The superstars of one decade are starting to phase out and give way to the superstars of the next. Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan missed the All-Star Game for the first time since 1998 (Garnett also was at the 1997 game). Shaquille O’Neal was out of […]

If you have watched the NBA Playoffs at all, you have probably been inundated by advertisements for Marvel’s The Avengers. Since Disney is the parent company for both Marvel and ESPN, the weekend games had a blatant and obvious tie-in to the movie. Marvel and Disney have beaten audiences over the head with this movie […]

After it was reported earlier in the week that Team USA was looking to add some size to their finalist pool, Team USA Chairman Jerry Colangelo officially announced the addition of Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward James Harden and University of Kentucky F/C, and soon to be number one pick in the NBA Draft, Anthony Davis to their final […]

After an uninspired Game 1 loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the odds were stacked against the Boston Celtics in Game 2. They had to play without their star point guard Rajon Rondo, who was, in my opinion, the only guy who played well for the Celtics in the first game. But they managed to steal […]

I can’t help but picture Phil Jackson sitting by a babbling brook, way up in a mountain somewhere, smiling as a reads the Los Angeles Times while smoking his morning’s peyote. His young prodigy and once rebellious student, has now embraced the ways of the Zen even in King Phillip’s absence, and I couldn’t imagine […]

Andrei Kirilenko has not changed his stance about returning to the NBA every since he stood on the floor at the 2011 European Championship as  part of the all-tournament team last September and contemplated offers in Russia from both CSKA Moscow and Spartak St. Petersburg. Back then Kirilenko carefully weighed his overseas options in light […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Getting out the brooms…. part 1 Break out the brooms, folks, because the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks are on the verge of being swept out of the playoffs.  The Knicks being swept wouldn’t be […]

Lost in the Los Angeles Clippers’ come-from-behind victory against the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1, Caron Butler fractured his hand thus leaving LA without one of their main weapons. In Game 2, the Clippers went with veteran Bobby Simmons but the Clips went on to lose the game as the series now shifts to Los […]

After the worst season in NBA history, the Charlotte Bobcats don’t have people busting down their door wanting to be the next head coach. In fact, they may not be able to fill that position for a while, because they may not even want to right now. The Bobcats have a lot of potential to […]

After punching a fire extinguisher because he was mad that Carmelo took 26 shots and he only took 9 the Heat beat his Knicks 104-94 to take a 2-0 lead in the series, Amar’e Stoudemire is saying he might be able to come back for Game Four. Not Game Three tonight, first of all, where he […]

The Boston Celtics tied their first-round series with the Atlanta Hawks (1-1) and stole homecourt advantage as the series now shifts to Boston. But if Atlanta is going to not only reclaim the homecourt advantage and take a series lead, they might have to do it without their star Josh Smith. According to ajc.com, Smith, […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Blowouts! The San Antonio Spurs are serving notice right now.  They are legit.  The ghosts of Grizzlies past are being erased in this first round, especially after the Spurs blew the doors off the Utah Jazz. […]

If Andrei Kirilenko isn’t wearing a Brooklyn Nets all-black-everything jersey next season, the beef from the borough can be thrown toward one team.  And it won’t be another NBA team like the Utah Jazz, Orlando Magic or even the Sacramento Kings, which have all been linked to the Russian small forward over the past eight […]
