Anthony taking shot at D’Antoni with new attitude?

Mike Woodson has revived some swagger in New York. The Knicks are undefeated since firing Mike D’Antoni and getting a new voice in the locker room. Whatever the problems were in that locker room that led to the mutual separation of the Knicks and D’Antoni, the team has responded in a big way. New York’s […]

Nate McMillan is all class on his way out of Portland

They were the Jailblazers before he got there, it’s only fair people remember that. For as much as he did in Portland during his seven years as the Head Coach of the Trailblazers though, Nate McMillan was still fired last week anyways.

No brainer of the week: Lakers pick up Bynum’s option

Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum is still young.  He’s 24, though it really feels like he’s been in the league forever.  This season he’s been healthy and in the Dwight Howard rumor mill, but he’s all been an All-Star starter and his having a career year.  So it’s been an interesting year for Bynum […]

Cavaliers still learning playbook, frustrating coach

The Cleveland Cavaliers are a young team. Kyrie Irving is a rookie and many of the players on the team are still relatively new to the NBA. Young teams struggle and the crunched and rushed schedule has not helped anything. Add the weight of sudden expectation makes things all the worse as the team comes […]

Wizards sit Blatche until he gets in better shape

It’s been a rough year for Washington Wizards forward Andray Blatche. He missed more than a month with a calf injury, his numbers are down, he’s lost the respect of the hometown fans and now his coach is sitting him until he gets back into shape. The Wizards tried unsuccessfully to move Blatche before the […]

Thunder closing in on deal with Derek Fisher

Derek Fisher is not a starting PG in the NBA anymore, and the masquerading around as such that he did in LA this past season was painful to watch at times. But, he is still an extremely valuable NBA back-up I think, especially for a contending team. The Oklahoma City Thunder appear to agree with […]

Rubio injury halts Wolves’ renaissance

A month ago in a hotel room in Orlando, the Timberwolves were buzzing. The team had a reason to be excited for the first time in a very long time. At .500 and the Playoffs within site, the Timberwolves actually mattered at the All-Star Break for the first time in a long time. I talked […]

Spoelstra: Magic are title contenders

Most of us think the Eastern Conference is a two team race.  The Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls are the two best teams in the east and maybe the entire league.  According to one guy close to the situation, the East is actually a three team race. The Sun-Sentinel’s Mike Berardino writes Miami Heat head coach […]

The return of ‘Clipper Darrell’

A few weeks ago, when the Los Angeles Clippers created a media frenzy by asking their biggest (or at least their most recognizable) fan to essentially “back off,” I took the side of the Clippers. While it may have seemed ridiculous to some for the Clippers to ask Darrell Bailey to no longer go by […]
