I have a hard time lumping all NBA “busts” into one category. To me, the harsh classification of the word bust should be reserved for guys like Kwame Brown and Darius Miles. High draft picks, loaded with potential, who simply played a particularly poor version of NBA basketball throughout the life of their NBA careers. […]

Last week I wrote about some comments Philadelphia 76ers small forward Andre Iguodala made to Sports Illustrated. Iguodala called out the Philly fans for being too fair-weathered as well as his teammate Lou Williams for not playing good defense. Lately the Sixers have looked awful, falling down to the 8-seed in the Eastern Conference and […]

Three months from today, July 10, is the end of the moratorium period. It is that “dead zone” after the NBA draft that lets teams get their ducks in a row and start looking toward which free agents will help them rebuild or reload. On July 11, after what will be about nine solid days […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Philly Phree-fall The Philadelphia 76’ers fall from grace is complete.  Once upon a time they fought for legitimacy among the Eastern Conference elite.  Now, they’re tied with the New York Knicks and one game ahead of […]

In the end, we could all see this relationship was doomed from the start. Lamar Odom’s relationship with Khloe Kardashian is still going strong. But his relationship with the Dallas Mavericks, always rocky and seemingly forced by the whims of the NBA business, never really had the chance to work. Sunday, sources tell Marc Stein […]

Late in the third quarter of last night’s Lakers/Rockets game, Bynum was fouled by Samuel Dalembert on his way to the basket, and he didn’t like it.  I don’t know if he felt like he was pushed in the back or what, but Bynum lost it a little there, leading to a technical foul.  That’s […]

“Either you die the hero or live long enough to become the vi-” oh screw it, the stupidity that’s played out in Orlando and Sacramento over the last few days, months and years doesn’t even deserve an awesome Dark Knight comparison.  Neither situation is like a good movie.  It’s more like a TV series you […]

The good folks at ESPN Radio in Hawaii reached out to us to talk a little NBA last week, so I gladly obliged.  I graciously offered to fly out to Hawaii to do the interview in person, but they unfortunately said the phone interview was good enough.  We started off with a little MVP discussion […]

The Philadelphia 76ers haven’t been able to maintain the hot start they jumped out to at the beginning of the season. At one point they were 18-7 and it looked like they were going to run away with the Atlantic Division. Now they’re 29-25 and if they don’t get it together quickly, they may miss […]

The Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder played in a game the Heat won by five earlier this week, and there was some chippiness involved in the match-up. A couple hard fouls were exchanged, some free throw line trash talk expressed, and mean mugs were also aplenty. All of which lead Udonis Haslem onto Miami […]

You heard it time after time in recent years — San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan is old, creaky, and his time in the NBA is done. Yet time after time, Duncan proves he is still as effective as he was when he was dominating and racking up NBA titles. The 15-year pro is looking like […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Dwightmare… the morning after Hours after Stan Van Gundy dropped a bomb on Dwight Howard, Dwight went out and played perhaps the worst game of his career.  He didn’t score until the third quarter.  He scored […]

Last year the Phoenix Suns traded Goran Dragic, best known for torching the San Antonio Spurs for 23 points IN A QUARTER during the 2010 NBA Playoffs, for Houston’s Aaron Brooks.  The trade really didn’t make a ton of sense because the Suns already had a starting point guard and Dragic was a great spark […]

I wonder if DeAndre Jordan and the rest of his Clippers teammates would change their tune after last night’s game against the Lakers. Jordan claimed before the game that while the matchup was important, the “Battle for L.A.” was just an important game with some playoff implications, and there’s no rivalry there. “Honestly, I don’t […]
