Minneapolis is a fun place to live. You got the Mall of America a short drive away. It really is the Land of A Thousand Lakes. If you like city living with a lot of parks for outdoor play — not to mention a cherry in a spoon — Minneapolis is your place. Except for […]

The NBA playoffs are officially upon us. And that can only mean one thing… More black-rimmed glasses, buttoned up plaid collared shirts and those signature trendy single strap-buckled backpacks Kevin Durant rocked  during postseason press conferences for the Oklahoma City Thunder last season. Dallas Mavericks, you’ve been warned. The NBA’s “geek-chic fashion pioneer” is ready […]

The 2012 NBA playoffs are set to kick off tomorrow and all eyes will be on the Miami Heat and their super trio of Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh after coming close to their first tile together last season. Now considering Miami has what many feel to be the best “Big Three” in […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Feeling for Brad Miller Imagine loving everything about your job.  You love it so much that you gladly wake up in the morning, you smile when you walk in, and you’re happy when you get home. […]

It’s been a tough year for Jameer Nelson.  His season started off horribly, but got better month by month.  The same couldn’t be said for his team.  The Dwight Howard drama hit an apex seemingly once a month and often times Nelson heard whispers that Howard’s camp was pushing the Magic front office to upgrade […]

Whether you root for LeBron James or you root against him, the recent SI piece that Lee Jenkins wrote on James is a must-read. It’s an introspective look into LeBron’s mindset over the last couple years coming from a position of balance, and I’d suggest you read the article in its entirety. Below are some snippets […]

Anyone who watched the San Antonio Spurs’ playoff collapse last year has to be weary of late-season injuries. Manu Ginobili was injured in the last game of the season and the Spurs weren’t able to recover and lost to the 8th-seeded Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. Miami Heat fans must have […]

The more I see Ron Artest’s elbow to James Harden’s head (and I’ve seen it at least 200 times now), the angrier I get and the more I think his suspension was justified. Maybe even too soft. I was watching the game live when I saw it happen, it looked vicious then but with each […]

It was a fun 35-year run for the Nets in New Jersey but the curtain has fallen and the Nets will play in Brooklyn, NY starting next season. But as the Nets look forward to a change of scenery, so comes a change in logo for the Nets. This is what the Nets rolled with […]

One of the more compelling stories of this lockout-shortened season just might pick up where it left off if all goes right for the New York  Knicks this postseason. After undergoing left knee surgery on April 2, Jeremy Lin returned to practice with the Knicks on Wednesday, leading to questions  surrounding the return of Linsanity […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Nash goes out with a loss We’re not sure what’s going to happen to Steve Nash after this season (more on that later today), but if this was his last game in Phoenix, it was an […]

Remember back in November? People were saying they would never watch the NBA again. The lockout — a battle of millionaires and billionaires — had soured everyone to the game and was going to make fans tune out. That was one of the driving forces behind the NBA getting back to the court by Christmas. […]

In the wake of Ron Artest’s (yes, I am reverting to the old name) flagrant elbow to James Harden’s head, Sports Illustrated has released their list of the NBA’s 15 dirtiest players. SI asked 146 players to name the person they thought was the dirtiest in the whole league, not including teammates. Topping the list […]

The cynical side of me thinks that of course Carmelo Anthony is going to say publicly that he loves Mike Woodson because he doesn’t want to be labeled a coach killer after already getting one coach fired earlier this season. The more understanding, and less judgemental, side of me thinks that maybe Mike Woodson is […]
