It’s been a tough season for Paul Pierce.  Despite the Boston Celtics’ second half resurgence, recovering from an early season injury and a grueling schedule has taken its toll on the Celtics’ captain.  But how much of a toll has it taken on him?  According to Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald, it’s been enough […]

Kyle Korver isn’t complaining about hard fouls this season because he’s never in the paint getting fouled. Jump-shooters don’t get fouled at all really, let alone hit hard, because they’re never attacking the basket. Derrick Rose and Blake Griffin are drivers, however, and make their respective livings by launching their bodies past anybody standing in […]

The New York Knicks are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now for the second time this season. The first time, it was because of Jeremy Lin, this time it’s because of head coach Mike Woodson. As soon as Mike D’Antoni quit, Woodson stepped in and went to work. Since he took […]

Things were easy for Tyreke Evans a year into his career. The future seemed to have limitless potential for him. He was the runaway winner for Rookie of the Year in 2010 and became the fourth player in NBA history to average 20 points per game, five rebounds per game and five assists per game […]

Flopping. Say what you will about the “tactic” NBA players use to get the refs to make a call in their favor, it sure does draw the ire of many fans, players and in particular Jeff Van Gundy. What’s that? How much does flopping get to Van Gundy you ask? Well I am glad you […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Triple the fun in Utah, unless you’re Dallas It was buy four quarters, get three free night in Utah as the Mavericks and Jazz went into triple OT.  We had a couple of “Line of the […]

As if dealing with Dwight Howard and his ailing back wasn’t bad enough, comes this bit of good news for the Orlando Magic and Glen Davis. Davis suffered a knee injury (hyperextended right knee) Sunday night versus the Cavaliers and at first, the injury looked really bad. However, an MRI revealed Davis’ knee sustained no […]

I think we can all agree the brand of basketball during times this NBA season has been a real yawner. Turnovers per game are up (14 players around the league average 3 or  more turnovers per game), guys tend to look sluggish, and don’t even  get me started on having to watch the Charlotte Bobcats […]

The Dallas Mavericks are the defending NBA Champions, and they currently sit with a record of 34-26. That is good enough to be positioned with the sixth seed out West right now, but also only 2 1/2 games ahead of the hard-charging Suns who occupy the ninth spot. The Maverick players are saying their goal […]

The Denver Nuggets exploded out of the gate to a 14-5 record. They looked like they were going to be the surprise team this year. Since then though, they have come back to earth a little bit and are sitting at 33-27, the seventh seed in the Western Conference and fighting for one of the last […]

Let’s face it, the Washington Wizards have been the laughing stock in the NBA. Former Wizard JaVale McGee had a big hand in lending to that reputation, Andray Blatche was benched for being fat, Flip Saunders was fired, and to top it all off, their current interim coach Randy Whittman doesn’t even know if he […]

The wait continues for the Knicks. Or maybe it doesn’t, considering New York is 7-4 in this 11-game stretch that Stoudemire has missed since March 24. Stoudemire’s absence has freed up Carmelo Anthony to dominate the ball and allowed Mike Woodson to install the offensive isolation sets and defensive schemes he favored in Atlanta. Whatever […]

One of the knocks on the Los Angeles Lakers entering this season was their lack of a solid point guard. Derek Fisher wasn’t going to cut it anymore due to his age and is now with the Thunder after a trade. Steve Blake wasn’t what the Lakers wanted in a point guard, and of course […]
