Someone go check on Jeff Van Gundy to make sure he did not have a heart attack on Sunday night after watching Reggie Evans’ horrible flop performance. A week after Van Gundy ranted on national television claiming the NBA condones flopping across the league, Evans essentially made a case for why the league office needs […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have the most talented young roster in the NBA. Their speed, size and ability from the starters all the way down the bench is why they are one of the favorites to take home a title this year. Of course they have All Stars Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, but it […]

The Portland Trailblazers lost an All-NBA caliber player to a tragically freak knee injury that cut Brandon Roy’s career much too short at the start of this season. They also drafted another potential franchise guy in Greg Oden who was officially released this season as well, after never being healthy enough to ever really play […]

Another year, another bad season for the Sacramento Kings. They are the second worst team in the Westen Conference, their owners still probably want to leave the city and, now, a guy who a season ago was thought to be a franchise corner stone is eligible for a contract extension. And it does not look […]

It was the elbow heard around the NBA when Los Angeles Lakers’ Metta World Peace decided to throw his elbow into Oklahoma City Thunder’s James Harden after a dunk during yesterday’s Lakers-Thunder game. Peace was tossed (flagrant foul two) and could very well be facing a stiff fine and suspension. But according to him, the […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Houston, we have ping pong balls The Houston Rockets had a nice little run.  After some early struggles, they won nine out of 10 games and pieced together a few different short winning streaks to keep […]

Prior to his head injury (concussion), Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love was making a strong case for league MVP. He averaged 26 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists per game, shot 37 percent from the three-point line in 55 games for the Timberwolves. But with two games left for Minnesota and its injury-riddled season, Minnesota has […]

In an utterly disgusting move, Ron Artest reared back and fired an elbow behind the ear of a prone James Harden, leveling him and leaving him on the floor for several minutes.  Artest was assessed a flagrant 2 and ejected.  You can see in the video that he’s trying to explain that he was celebrating […]

The compact, 66-game schedule turned out better than the NBA probably could have dreamed. There’s been solid action almost every night for the last few months and now we’re finishing out the season with some exciting playoff races. Considering how close we were to not even having a season, I’d say the NBA pulled off […]

The Portland Trailblazers have essentially fired everybody over last twelve months. Their General Manager was pink-slipped last May, their Coach was axed in March, and they even cut the last player they picked number one overall this season too. All this in addition to Brandon Roy being forced to retire, Raymond Felton playing horribly, and […]

When it comes to the postseason in any sport, you always have to watch out for the team that gets hot at the right time. It’s not always the team with the best regular season record that hoists the trophy at the end of the year. It’s the team that’s playing their best when the […]

The LA Clippers have decided that some solidarity is in order as they head into the stretch run.  So with that in mind, they’ve decided to follow the example of hockey and football players and grow playoff beards.  The Clippers official team site (via TBJ) had this critical breaking news… which features Blake trying to […]

The Boston Celtics have been playing some great basketball since the All-Star break. Kevin Garnett found the Fountain of Youth, Paul Pierce doesn’t seem to be slowed by age, Brandon Bass has been playing well in the paint and Avery Bradley defense and offensive input has been one of the bigger surprises for Boston this […]

For every story we hear or read about Allen Iverson  falling on hard times financially, Dennis Rodman  struggling to make ends meet, or even Latrell Spreewell  unable to feed his family after making millions in the  NBA, there is a post-NBA career story like Keith Van  Horn’s. Unfortunately we don’t hear enough about those. At […]

The lockout seems so long ago. We have not had to spend any late nights waiting for Derek Fisher and Billy Hunter to emerge from a hotel conference room and explain to us why we were not going to have basketball. The negotiations were extremely contentious — thus, our nearly losing the entire season — […]
