Our nightly look ahead to the schedule with a couple of notes and story lines so you can plan out your NBA viewing.  All Times Eastern. Fire up the League Pass 8:00:  Denver Nuggets at Memphis Grizzlies  Tonight’s schedule doesn’t exactly demand your attention (as you’ll see from the rundown in a minute).  Unlike last […]

I was a fan of the Richard Hamilton signing in Chicago.  And his stint in Chicago has gone well enough… … when he’s played.  Rip has played in only 11 of Chicago’s 23 games.  And he’s going to miss quite a few more. Hamilton admitted that he likely will sit for a while in an […]

The Lakers are holding on to whatever they can in the Kobe Bryant/Pau Gasol tandem. Los Angeles is getting overshadowed in its own building despite a similar 12-9 records. The Lakers are starting to turn things around after a slow start to the season. Los Angeles has played more games than any other team with […]

If this season has taught us anything so far, it’s that everybody loves tall guys. Even if you’re twenty-nine, injured, and love hunting as much as Chris Kaman does. We first referenced the New Orleans Hornets effort last week to trade their newly acquired Center, by way of the Chris Paul to LAC deal, and yesterday morning […]

One of these guys won’t be laughing like this in London. When Kobe Bryant and Ricky Rubio exchanged friendly fire and jokes after the Los Angeles Lakers’ 106-101 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minnesota on Sunday night, it was all in good clean fun. “You’re going to get the Silver medal,” Rubio told Bryant […]

We’ve heard for months that Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard is unhappy and probably wants out of Orlando (we’ve discovered he’s a bit fickle). We heard before this season started that he was upset he was not being clued in on personnel matters. Well, Dwight is unhappy again and it has less to do with […]

When Memphis Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph went down with an MCL tear on New Years Day, it was the consensus that it would be nearly impossible for the Grizzlies to improve on last year’s magical run to the second round of the playoffs. He played such a huge role in upsetting the top-ranked San Antonio […]

Our nightly look ahead to the schedule with a couple of notes and story lines so you can plan out your NBA viewing.  Fire up the League Pass for 8:00:  Minnesota Timberwolves at Houston Rockets Here’s something I never thought I’d type a month ago:  If you haven’t seen the Timberwolves play, you’re missing out. […]

It wasn’t too long ago that Chauncey Billups was kinda bent about the idea of becoming a Los Angeles Clipper. He didn’t want to be amnestied by the New York Knicks, talked about maybe not even showing up to camp in LA, but he eventually did and is now asking his friends to come join […]

The lockout has hurt offenses. The league-wide offensive rating is at 99.7 points per 100 possessions. Teams are struggling to score. No team may resemble these struggles more than Mike D’Antoni and his New York Knicks. D’Antoni, the innovator of the Seven Seconds or Less offense and some of the most prolific offenses of the […]

Joe Dumars has his work cut out for him if he plans on luring any NBA free agents to the Detroit Pistons. Before Dumars, the president of basketball operations for the Pistons, signed Chauncey Billups to a free agent contract in 2002 — a signing that was part of a catalyst for Detroit capturing the […]

The good news is for the Los Angeles Lakers that they’re still only 12-9. They just beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 106-101 to improve to that mark, in a game where Andrew Bynum went for 21 points and 7 rebounds alongside fellow big man Pau Gasol who finished with 28 and 6. Also good news. Depending […]
