The Boston Celtics are at the center of some pretty intense trade rumors, most of which involve Rajon Rondo. But if you ask the Celtics, they’ll tell you they’re not shopping their star point guard, in fact, they’re not shopping anyone. Celtics President of basketball operations Danny Ainge and head coach Doc Rivers both say […]

This one is for all you Detroit Pistons and Kyle Singler fans. Singler, who was drafted by the Pistons in the second round of the 2011 NBA Draft, elected to play in Spain during the NBA lockout but when the lockout ended, Singler chose to stay in Spain and play the entire season for Real Madrid. […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Get ready for some really made up stories about Dwight Howard I’ve always contended that Orlando doesn’t use Dwight Howard correctly.  They play an outside-in game when it should be the other way around. So there […]

You may not have noticed, but the Atlanta Hawks are having a pretty good season despite a season ending injury to All-Star big man Al Horford.  Part of that is due to the great play of Josh Smith.  Despite that stellar play, Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Smith wants out of Atlanta. By […]

The Pau Gasol trade rumors started about two seconds after the Lakers got swept out of the playoffs by the Mavericks. Then he nearly got traded to Houston in the Chris Paul trade that wasn’t, and since then the Lakers’ season has been up and down. The trade rumors haven’t gone away either.  This week, […]

It’s pretty obvious that the Dallas Mavericks aren’t the same team they were when they won the championship last year. The loss of Tyson Chandler, J.J. Barea and Caron Butler weakened the team a lot more than the Mavs would like to admit, but the record doesn’t lie. The Mavs had the infamous “championship hangover” […]

Oklahoma City sits atop the Western Conference with a week remaining until the trade deadline. You would hardly think that a team playing at the top of its conference and seemingly one of the three teams unanimously believed to be in the running for a championship needs to make a move. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, […]

Sports Illustrated polled 137 NBA players, asking them who they would choose first if they were starting an NBA team from scratch. The final tallies included 15 players, with LeBron James ranked number one overall. Right here is where I’d insert a joke about those players not asking the Cleveland Cavaliers how it worked out for them […]

Update: After one week, Leon Powe’s playing days in Puerto Rico have come to a close after just four games. According to the San German Athletics team website, Powe apparently has a deal lined-up in the NBA but didn’t discuss specifics. Powe averaged 7.3 points and 3.5 rebounds in 18 mintues per game during his […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Wild Wednesday in the Association Washington beat the Lakers (who had just lost the Detroit), Toronto beat Houston, New Jersey beat the Clippers (on a Jordan Farmar buzzer beater), and Cleveland beat Denver (on another Kyrie […]

Ricky Rubio is difficult to defend on the basketball court. As a result, at least according David Kahn and the Minnesota Timberwolves coaching staff, teams around the NBA have resulted to rule breaking in order to slow him down. I am not sure if they included this particular play pictured below as evidence to their […]

In case you haven’t been watching the Sacramento Kings, and there’s a decent chance you haven’t, DeMarcus Cousins has been a revelation since head coach Paul Westphal was fired.  Cousins has said repeatedly how much he enjoys playing for new coach Keith Smart.  But he’s not the only one helping Cousins turn himself in to […]

The Detroit Pistons were a dysfunctional family the last two years. John Kuester was in a bit over his head in dealing with a rebuilding team that had very little direction — a Frankenstein mix of the championship Pistons teams with a group of young players who needed time to make mistakes. The old guard […]
