It’s entirely possible this has become worse than the Carmelo Anthony situation last year. Dwight Howard has reportedly chosen his destination.

Greg Oden will soon have more knee surgeries than career points

I felt like I needed to get the joke out of the way in the headline, because it’s mind-blowing that this keeps happening to Greg Oden. Trail Blazers center Greg Oden will undergo an arthroscopic procedure today in Vail, Colo. to remove debris from his right knee, the team announced. It is his fourth knee […]

Kenyon Martin will be a Clipper

You want a signal that this season makes no sense whatsoever?  Seemingly within minutes of the news breaking that Kenyon Martin is free to join an NBA team immediatley, the LA Clippers swooped in and signed the coveted power forward.  Free agent Kenyon Martin has agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million contract to play with the Los […]

Mark Cuban On NBA Officiating This Season: “It’s Just Ridiculous”

In the many days before his Dallas Mavericks won their first NBA Championship, Mark Cuban offered a series of NBA officiating critiques that caused him to be fined approximately $1.65 million. He was first seated on the team’s bench while launching these personal objections, and was later pushed as far away back from the sidelines […]

LeBron Flirting With Dunk Contest Again

It is the dream marriage. The one thing most NBA fans want to see. The union of freakish athleticism with artistry and power. The return of the league’s premier event during All-Star Weekend. The one event many look forward to but the one event that has ultimately disappointed. Long gone are the days when stars […]

Video: Popovich Gets A Years Worth Of Exercise In Seconds

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is quite the character. Whether it be his epic interviews with the media, his sarcastic approach to coaching, or his surly demeanor when things aren’t going well for the Spurs, there is no question Pop is one interesting cat. But when it comes to calling a timeout, Pop […]

If No Martin, Lakers May Pursue ‘Sheed

A year ago, none of us would’ve said the Los Angeles Lakers needed front line help.  When Pau Gasol or Andrew Bynum left the game Lamar Odom would come in and it was like the Lakers never missed a beat. Now when Pau or Bynum leave the court, Josh McRoberts comes in.  Say what you […]

Rockets Leading Kaman Race?

New Orleans Hornets dismissed Chris Kaman from the team last Friday after playing in 17 games. The Hornets never really gave a reason, but told the big man acquired in the Chris Paul trade to stay away so he can maintain some semblance of trade value. It seems like the Hornets are looking for a […]

Gasol Responds To ‘Soft’ Label

Since he came into the league, Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol has been called soft. I’m definitely not going to disagree. The guy is a 7-footer who’s afraid to take it strong to the rim and will settle for a baby hook when he should be taking some contact instead. The comments have never […]

NBA TV Continues To Be A Ratings Juggernaut During Shortened Season

Despite the public relations disaster that was the lockout over the summer, and the subsequent sloppy games and rise of injuries to regular-rotation players during the shortened season, interest in the NBA doesn’t appear to have been affected in the slightest. Quite the opposite really, it seems to have swelled with the latest numbers coming […]

Paul’s Competitive Streak Showing Through In LA

On the court he’s always been a bit of a jerk. If you didn’t get a chance to see him very often, and if you cheer for a team that plays outside the Southwest Division, chances are you didn’t see him much and wouldn’t have noticed it. Now that he’s in LA and they’ve been […]
