If the Boston Celtics want to tie their first-round playoff series with the Atlanta Hawks in Game 2, they will have to do it without their floor leader Rajon Rondo after he was suspended for Game 2 due to a chest bump incident with official Marc Davis. Now you probably heard and saw what Rondo […]

The news hit the NBA hard Saturday when it came out that Derrick Rose would miss the remainder of the Playoffs with a torn ACL. It put a big damper on what is supposed to be one of the banner weekends on the NBA calendar. The talking heads sought a reason why this would happen […]

Danny Granger scored 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the Indiana Pacers Game 1 loss to the Dwight Howard-less Orlando Magic on Saturday, which really isn’t all that terrible. He did have five turnovers however, missed 13 shots overall, and clanked a couple free throws late to cap off a personally awful fourth quarter […]

The Charlotte Bobcats have done the honorable thing and spared Paul Silas the pain of watching the Bobcats on a daily basis by not renewing his deal today. Silas coached 120 games for the Bobcats. He won 32 of them. Seven of those came this season, in what was the worst season by any NBA […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a grand unveiling today of the stuff we’ve already seen, as they put an end to the leaks and kicked off the frenzy of new Brooklyn Nets merchandise.  The new Nets colors are black and white, and some their gear has a clear urban theme to it. The two script shirts […]

There is still a lot of basketball left to be played in the first round of this year’s playoffs, but you can learn a lot from the first game. I had the pleasure of watching the opening game of every series this weekend, so here are a few quick thoughts. Chicago Bulls lead Philadelphia 76ers […]

The Miami Heat demolished the New York Knicks Saturday, winning 100-67.  Even worse news for the Knickerbockers was the loss of Iman Shumpert for the rest of the season (and probably the start of next season) with a torn ACL.  The Knicks had a problem before Shumpert left and that problem is called LeBron James.  […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Clippers epic comeback With 8:00 to go in the game, Mike Conley turned the ball over with the score 95-71.  Little did anyone know that the turnover would be the beginning of the Grizzlies squandering their […]

Though the Chicago Bulls may have captured a 1-0 lead in their opening round series versus the Sixers Saturday, the win was overshadowed after All-Star point guard Derrick Rose suffered a torn ACL in his left knee late in the game. And now that Rose is lost for the remainder of the postseason, it means it […]

Tom Thibodeau isn’t the only head coach readjusting his game plan after Derrick Rose tore his ACL in Game 1 of the Chicago Bulls’ first round series  against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. Now Mike Krzyzewski and Team USA are officially in scramble mode. Not only will Rose, the reigning NBA MVP, not be playing […]

UPDATED:  Derrick Rose is done for the rest of the post-season

The New York Knicks were already getting blown out by the Miami Heat in Game 1 of their 7-game series. To add injury to insult, Iman Shumpert left the game with a non-contact knee injury that looked just as bad as Derrick Rose’s earlier in the day. Shumpert was dribbling up the floor with the […]

The story on John Wall all season was that he was falling short of his potential. This super talented point guard seemed to be in a toxic environment with players who could care less about the team’s success. And certainly not about his. Whether that was conscious or unconscious likely will be irrelevant. What everyone […]

The NBA Playoffs start on Saturday. This is something I am pretty excited about, and the primary reason why I plan to be both mentally and emotionally unavailable to friends and family members from now through the month of June. Each and every game will require my complete attention unfortunately, as well as my extreme […]

Phoenix Suns fans made it clear during the last game of the season that they want Steve Nash to finish out his career with them.
