Blake Griffin, Gerald Green, DeMar DeRozan are all considered some of the best dunkers in the NBA but should Bobcats' Byron Mullens be added to the list? If his dunk on Blazers' LaMarcus Aldridge is any indication, then the answer is yes. During the Bobcats-Blazers game, Mullens went top-shelf on Aldridge and showed off not […]

Los Angeles Clippers (10-6) vs. Utah Jazz (9-9) 9 p.m. When it comes to teams straddling the line between the two post, grind-it-out basketball and the stretch-4, spread the floor basketball that has pervaded the NBA, these two teams are in the middle of that spectrum. If the Grizzlies are on one end and the […]

A side story of the San Antonio Spurs being fined for head coach Gregg Popvich resting four of his best players last Thursday against the Heat has to do with games that won't take place for another 18 months.  You see, Duke University head coach Mike Krzyzewski is likely not returning to coach Team USA […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Magic had something to prove Jameer Nelson was maybe the only guy willing to admit what Sunday's 113-103 win against Dwight Howard the Lakers actually meant. While Jacque Vaughn called it just another game and […]

Orlando Magic (5-10) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (8-8) 9:30 p.m. Does anyone else remember that little thing that happened in Orlando last year? You know the one about the franchise center who wanted out, then didn't, then did again and then finally got his way leaving a franchise in complete ruin in his wake? Orlando […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Second wind Maybe this is why Gregg Popovich wanted to save his best player's legs. San Antonio needed every single one of Tony Parker's 30 points and six assists and every single one of Tim […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: When it rains, it pours It was a rough 48 hours for the Nuggets. First was the wild finish in Golden State that ended with Andre iguodala's shot falling after the buzzer. The next night […]

Utah Jazz (9-7) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (12-4) 8 p.m. The Jazz just do. They are quiet and they are workmanlike, with little flash and glitz. Al Jefferson is the team's star and he is just the definition of being underrated. Paul Millsap does his work as a hybrid forward that straddles the definitiono f […]

By now you know what happened before last night's Spurs-Heat clash… Spurs' Popovich sent the team's "Big 3" back to San Antonio plus Danny Green, Stern didn't like that, and vowed "substantial sanctions" coming towards the Spurs' way. That's it in a nutshell. So now the fallout begins. You can understand both sides. Stern knew it's […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Allen bails out Heat Lesson No. 1 for defenses should be never leave Ray Allen for a moment beyond the 3-point line late in games. Bad things just happen to your defense when that happens. […]

San Antonio Spurs (13-3) vs. Miami Heat (10-3) 8 p.m./TNT Um, so this game got a lot less interesting. I mean, it might be fun to watch because Charles Barkley is calling the game, but Gregg Popovich's decision to send Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili home to end this road trip for San […]

Amar'e Stoudemire has gone from punching a fire extinguisher last season to reportedly saying he is willing to pack a punch off of the New York Knicks’ bench this season. It depends how his injured left knee responds over the course of at least the next two weeks. Then it is on. Or is it? […]

If you believe the talk surrounding the Nets' invasion of Brooklyn and New York City, it is actually quite a big deal. The fact New York City is actually five distinct boroughs probably gets lost on most people outside The Big Apple — I am not even sure I get it as an "outsider." If […]
