Although he did a solid job in the regular season after taking over for Avery Johnson (going 35-19), Carlesimo knew that he wasn't likely to lose the interim tag, a fact which was entrenched with Brooklyn's embarrassing 1st-round playoff defeat The Nets-Bulls opening round series of the Eastern Conference Playoffs was filled with crazy runs, […]

Wow! Just wow! Knicks' Iman Shumpert got the crowd in MSG for Game 2 of their series versus the Pacers off their seats with an insane put-back dunk off a missed three-pointer in the second quarter. To make matters worse for Indiana, they had three people under the basket and not one boxed out Iman. […]

 Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat Game 1 — 7 p.m./TNT LeBron James was quite clearly MVP. There really was no doubt about it. When I was on with 103.7 The Game in Lafayette, La., on Friday, they asked me if you could make any argument to vote for anyone aside from LeBron James. I told […]

In four seasons, David Kahn was the butt of jokes around the league. There were questionable acquisitions, puzzling draft picks and really seemingly no direction. It was a time of some deep, deep embarrassment for the Timberwolves organization if not within then certainly to the outside. His Timberwolves never made the Playoffs. Never got close, […]

Memphis Grizzlies/Oklahoma City Thunder: Game 1 –       I think now we are going to see how much the Thunder will miss Russell Westbrook.
