I guess maybe lumping Tracy McGrady into the same disgruntled headline with Stephen Jackson isn’t totally fair. At the same time however, the guy did get paid about $50 million in recent years to be injured, and the least he could do is appear grateful about all that now that he is relatively healthy. He […]

John Wall is not used to finishing in anything but first — whether it be the NBA Draft, a footrace or any number of things. Wall has had a tough time adjusting to the constant losing with the young Wizards and his improvement has been stunted, frustrating many observers and Wall himself. One more thing […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Gods of Thunder   The Oklahoma City Thunder pulled one off for the ages last night.  Their 124-118 overtime win was a pretty good hard-fought game.  The Nuggets got to 118 by having seven players hit […]

Last year Blake Griffin brought some spice back in to the Slam Dunk contest by jumping over a car while catching a pass from Baron Davis, who tossed it up threw the sun roof. Pretty cool stuff. Last year also gave us JaVale McGee dunking three balls on one rim and two balls on two […]

Every Sunday, the CC staff will get together to present our plays and players of the week. PLAYER OF THE WEEK LeBron James 4 Games (4-0) 27.3 ppg8.8 rpg5.2 apg1.8 spg Kyle Boenitz:  We’ve been down this road before. It seems like LeBron is winning Player of the Week all the time, and it’s for […]

The list of NBA contenders in this crazy lockout-shortened season is short. Yes, there are plenty of teams who will claim that once the postseason starts that anything can happen. The list though is incredibly small if you ask most people. Miami, Chicago, Oklahoma City. Those seem to be the consensus three contenders. But if […]

If you are planning to use Twitter on Friday night around 9 p.m. ET or so… expect a lot of fail whales. That ubiquitous whale will be the symbol of you discontent Friday as you try desperately to tweet some crazed reaction to the highlight plays (thanks lack of defense!) that are sure to go […]

The New York Knicks may want to see if they can start playing their games with 2 basketballs instead of 1. Either that or they’ll have to score 140 points a game to make sure everyone gets the points they want. The Knicks are adding shooting guard J.R. Smith to their roster which already includes […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day.   1:  The Blazers free fall continues A month seems like, well, a lot longer than a month in this insane NBA season.  And it has only been a month since the Blazers were the best team […]

 When Raymond Felton arrived in Portland in late June, his former head coach in Denver, George Karl, was quick to suggest the Blazers  had acquired a younger version of Andre Miller.  But now after putting up some career low numbers and frustrated by spotty playing time, the only similarity between Miller and Felton thus  far […]

It’s almost time for All-Star weekend. My favorite part of the festivities before the game is usually the dunk contest, but after looking at the contestants this year, I might have to pick something else. Perhaps the 3-point shootout… Looking at the competitors this year, we should be in for an interesting competition. You’ve got […]

Jeremy Lin. Surely those two words on that brief line above were enough to get just about anyone visiting this site to click and read. That is what “Lin-sanity” has done to us. And the New York Knicks and the NBA are absolutely loving it. Lin’s face is plastered everywhere now and everyone wants a […]

 Gary Payton said it best — or at least Tweeted it best — late Wednesday night.  #NBAinSEATTLE That’s all I have to say! But while the former Seattle SuperSonics all-star guard and NBA champ has become the spokesperson for bringing an NBA franchise back to Seattle, there’s one more man who will have a huge […]

The Miami Heat are playing extremely well. They are riding a four-game winning streak, sit atop the Southeast Division at 23-7, and look poised to make another run at the NBA crown. However, they do have a glaring weakness — center. Right now they play undersized Joel Anthony and can use some help in the […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Lin keeps on rolling with another career high This time, it’s in the assist column.  Lin dropped 13 dimes to continue the insert-name-pun-here roll he’s been on… a roll so amazing he’s even captured President Obama’s […]
