Kobe wants to get the band back together

It seems like just yesterday they were getting swept out of the 2011 NBA playoffs.  They were old, slow and didn’t seem to communicate all that well.  That doesn’t mean there aren’t people who weren’t a fan of the core of a team that won back to back NBA titles.  One big fan of that […]

Brandon Jennings says Knicks are improved since Mike D’Antoni left

Mike D’Antoni once recommended against the idea of drafting Brandon Jennings. Jennings heard him say as much, and appears to have made a personal vow to never forgot that he did. Following the Bucks loss to the Knicks in New York on Monday, Jennings made mention of how much better these Knicks are now too […]

Big Baby’s act growing old in Orlando, fined $35K for obscene gesture

The Orlando Magic knew what they were getting in Glen “Big Baby” Davis when they acquired him in a trade with Boston for Brandon Bass, but they probably didn’t anticipate the season-long antics along with him.

Bulls handling schedule, injuries like champs

I was looking at the standings the other day and was a little surprised to see the Chicago Bulls have already clinched a playoff spot.  I mean, we still have a month left in the season and they clinched about a week ago.  All this is happening with Derrick Rose missing an extended period of […]
