Manu Ginobili played only five games this season before breaking his left hand. He had been averaging 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists per game, and the Spurs were 3-2 in the games that their Argentinian superstar appeared. He had scored at least 23 points in three of those five games though, while only […]

On two plays last Friday in New Orleans, the NBA may have changed dramatically. In an otherwise ugly Magic-Hornets match-up, Jameer Nelson ran into Jarrett Jack’s shoulder going for a loose ball. He stayed on the floor for a few moments before walking to the sideline. He came back into the game in the next […]

Seems NBA fans are gong to have to dig deeper into their pockets if they want to attend an NBA game. For the first time in three years, average ticket prices are on the rise. The NBA’s average ticket price increased for the first time in three years, up 1.7 percent to $48.48, the Team […]

Rick Adelman is in the midst of one of the great rebuilding projects the NBA has seen. The Minnesota Timberwolves have not had a .300 win percentage since 2007. So, with the Wolves riding the coattails of Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio to a 10-11 record, Adelman is understandably looking to the future. That is, […]

Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose missed two big free throws against the Miami Heat, free throws that cost the Bulls the game (well that and their inability to stop LeBron James).  Rose was near tears after the game, saying he felt like he let his team and the city of Chicago down. The next day, the […]

The New York Knicks hope Baron Davis can help save them.  The Knicks hope Davis can help facilitate an offense that has largely had a horrific time scoring.  The Knicks hope Davis can make a few shots among those he distributes to help relieve some of the scoring burden from Carmelo Anthony.   But hope, […]

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Portland Trail Blazers guard Wesley Matthews.

The Philadelphia 76ers are playing some great basketball in this shortened season, sitting atop the Atlantic Division (12-6) and could put a scare in any of the top Eastern Conference teams come playoffs. Their division foe, the New York Knicks (7-13), on the other hand, are pretty much a disappointment considering their offseason acquisition of Tyson […]
