New NBA flopping rule getting the job done

Whether it’s the fear of losing money or just the fear of being publicly called out, the NBA’s new policy on flopping seems to be working. Last year, players acting in an effort to sway the refs were really getting out of hand. This year, it’s gotten remarkably better. Of course, you can’t eliminate the […]

CC video of the day: Heat do the ‘Harlem Shake’

Look I am not going to lie, I do not understand this fascination with the "Harlem Shake" dance craze. However, it seems to be taking the Internet by storm and everyone is getting in on the act including the Miami Heat.

16 years later, Violet Palmer still going strong

It has been 16 years since Violet Palmer and Dee Kantner broke through the proverbial glass ceiling and became the first female referrees in the NBA. It seems more of a footnote now. While Kantner was let go for "poor performance" in 2002, Palmer has grown into one of the more veteran and respected referees […]

Video: Mickael Pietrus video-bombs Raptors broadcast

Foot Don’t Lie: Is Rasheed Wallace heading for a second retirement?

Hours before Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors dropped 54 points on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, Mike Woodson spoke with the media New York about suffering a major loss.

Hawks and Jazz found Playoffs too valuable to lose

Before last week's trade deadline it almost seemed certain the Hawks would trade away free agent-to be Josh Smith. It was almost as if he was saying his good byes to his hometown in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline and the inevitable seemed to be happening. The same could be said for […]

Jennings interested in playing for Mavs

The Milwaukee Bucks’ experiment of putting two point guards in their starting lineup may finally be coming to an end this summer. It is easy to say things did not really work out how the Bucks had hoped they would, but with Brandon Jennings becoming a restricted free agent at the end of this season, […]

Harrison Barnes is interesting, should also play more

We all have favorite rookies each year, aside from the number one guys. My guy this year is Golden State Warriors forward Harrison Barnes.  Maybe it is because I think scouts were a little too rough on him throughout the draft process. Or maybe it is because he reminds me of Sean Elliott and Glen […]

The Sixers lost last night to the Magic in Philly 98-84 which led to one of the most memorable post-game press conference from coach Doug Collins.

CC video of the day: Warriors-Pacers brawl

What is it about the Pacers and melees? First there was the "Malice at the Palace" with the Pistons and now this.
