Relocation committee recommends Kings stay in Sacramento

We are one step closer to a resolution in the Sacramento Kings/Seattle SuperSonics saga after the NBA's relocation committee made a unanimous recommendation to deny the request to relocate the team to Seattle, according to several reports. This does not totally rule out the chance for relocation, but it would be pretty odd to see […]

Small is big for Warriors

Mark Jackson had a major dilemma facing him and his team entering Game Two last week in Denver. David Lee would be out for the remainder of the Playoffs with a torn hip flexor. Andrew Bogut, despite a strong Game One performance, had not put in performances like that one consistently throughout the season. It […]

Jason Collins comes out as first gay athlete in major American pro sports

  For months, the sports world has discussed the potential of the first gay male professional athlete.  Advocacy and support for an active gay athlete in American professional sports has grown immensely in the last several years and in 2013 the questions were becoming a matter of when and who and not if.   The […]

CC video of the day: Bulls-Nets incredible Game 4 gets Phantom’d

It was an instant classic and perhaps the game of the 2013 NBA Playoffs when the Bulls and Nets gave us a thrilling triple-overtime in Game 4 of their series in Chicago. It had it all – hard fouls, clutch shots, team-play on display, and a healthy does of Bulls' Nate Robinson showing passion, grit […]

Quick hits from the NBA playoffs: Day 9

New York Knicks/Boston Celtics: Game 4 –       Celtics trying to avoid being swept. Knicks playing without J.R. Smith, their Sixth Man of the Year (called it!). –       Celtics coming out strong and hitting shots early. The question is whether or not they can sustain that over a whole game. In each of the first three […]

Shootaround: Back and forth

 Denver Nuggets vs. Golden State Warriors Game 4 (2-1 GSW) — 9:30 p.m./TNT In the late hours of Friday evening, basketball fans were seemingly in heaven.

Quick hits from the NBA playoffs: Day 8

Brooklyn Nets/Chicago Bulls: Game 4 –       Feel like this series has been impossible to predict because we do not know which Bulls team will show up. –       Finally got a “fight” in the playoffs. Not the series I would have predicted, but I will take it! –       Nate Robinson is singlehandedly bringing the Bulls back […]

Quick hits from the NBA playoffs: Day 7

New York Knicks/Boston Celtics: Game 3 –       First game in Boston since the bombing. I always think it’s weird when they connect traumatic events to sports because you spend the pregame honoring the victims then you have to go out and forget about it to try and win a game. I understand the significance and […]

Russell Westbrook to have knee surgery, out indefinitely

The Thunder's hopes of returning to the NBA Finals and perhaps besting the Heat in this year's championship round took a major hit Friday. Before tonight's Game Three, it was reported that Russell Westbrook has torn the meniscus in his right knee and will undergo surgery to repair it. The injury could cause him to […]

Quick hits from the NBA playoffs: Day 6

Miami Heat/Milwaukee Bucks: Game 3 –       I know I am in the minority here, but I think the NFL draft is so overhyped, boring and sort of pointless. It is not a tough decision for me to stick with NBA playoffs tonight. –       It is like Ray Allen has played in this building before or […]

Cavs want LeBron James and LaMarcus Aldridge

By now you have probably heard the news, the Cleveland Cavaliers have hired Mike Brown as their head coach again, after letting him go three years ago. Good for him, I do not think he is either a great coach or the abysmal failture that he was painted as during his depature from the Los […]

Pelicans will consider dealing Eric Gordon

A year ago, Eric Gordon was free agent priority number one for the then-New Orleans Hornets. He did not think so. He wanted out of the Crescent City and signed an offer sheet with Phoenix, warning New Orleans he did not want to return. The Hornets and Dell Demps ignored that request and matched the […]

CC video of the day: Hibbert crushes Hawks’ Johnson

The Pacers took a commanding 2-0 lead against the Hawks last night with a 113-98 win in Indiana and aside from the game being a blowout, Roy Hibbert added some insult to injury to Ivan Johnson early in the first quarter. You knew it was not going to be the Hawks night when Hibbert came […]
