Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Bouncing back Overtime can be a dangerous thing. Momentum shifts as the final moments of regulation winds down and energy dissipates from 48 minutes of intense NBA battle. Overtime can be really unpredictable as teams […]

Things quiet on Cousins trade front

The ebb and flow of trade discussions is beginning to wax for DeMarcus Cousins. With rumors about Rudy Gay beginning to pick up, Cousins is going to the back of the line as far as media interest goes — then again Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports has been awfully quiet lately… Cousins trade interest should […]

Miami or not, easy to root for the NBA comeback of Greg Oden

When watching the highlights between the Portland Trail Blazers versus Miami Heat on Thursday night, it was hard not to think about Greg Oden. Rip City is where Oden tore up his knees resulting in three microfracture surgeries and 82 total games played between the time the Blazers selected him number one overall in the […]

Video: J.R. Smith smashes one on Mahinmi

Knicks' J.R. Smith can certainly bring the highlights and on a night without star Carmelo Anthony, Smith made sure he would pick up the slack in the only way he knows how — with a tremendous dunk. It didn't take long for Smith to make the nightly highlight reel when in the first quarter, Smith […]

Kings deal in the works, Maloofs may still screw it up

There is a strange mood in Sacramento right now.  It is one part frustration, one part defianance, one part melancholy and one part exhausted. This is what the Kings' owners, the Maloof family, and the reports of another relocation have done to one of the best fan bases in basketball.  Wednesday afternoon, it appeared as […]

Shootaround: Boom baby

New York Knicks (23-11) vs. Indiana Pacers (21-14) 8 p.m./TNT Marv Albert? Reggie Miller? Pacers? Knicks? All we need is Spike Lee, some grainy footage, Patrick Ewing missing a late-game shot (just kidding), John Starks and Mark Jackson and we have ourselves a party! No, Thursday night's game at Banker's Life Fieldhouse will not be […]

New era Suns face offense problems

The Suns have long been associated with the "Seven Seconds or Less" offense that Mike D'Antoni brought in when he was hired as head coach. That has become synonymous with the Suns. Since D'Antoni was let go, there have been several coaches trying to bring a different tact and add a little defense to the […]

Wizards will be cautious with Wall’s season debut against Hawks

John Wall made moves off of the court on Wednesday and is getting ready to make moves on the floor for the Washington Wizards on Saturday under a very watchful eye.

Video: Nash is sweaty but World Peace doesn’t mind

Steve Nash and Metta World Peace have only been teammates for a few games but already their bond is tight. Perhaps a bit too tight. During the Lakers recent loss to the Rockets, Nash needed to dry off a bit which included his sweaty, damp, and probably smelly armpits. Not a problem, any athelete needs […]

Varejao’s injury changes everything

The Cleveland Cavaliers must be kicking themselves a little bit for not trading Anderson Varejao when they had the chance. Varejao was the hottest commodity on the market only a few weeks ago when he was hitting 15 and 15 almost every night. Now a knee injury that the team originally thought would keep him […]

Blazers players pick Stotts for coach of the year, are they right?

We are almost to the halfway point of the NBA season. It is not too early to start thinking about who’s making a case for postseason awards. When looking at candidates for coach of the year, I think the best gauge is to see who exceeded expectations. Who got their team playing at a higher […]

Video: Pacers’ Augustin, Green connect on the alley-oop

The Pacers defeated the defending NBA champs last night 87-77 in Indiana last night and to add insult to injury, Pacers' DJ Augustin and Gerald Green connected on a fabulous ally-oop. In the second quarter, Augustin found a cutting Green to the rim for the easy two. What is more interesting is the lack of […]

Carlos Boozer’s resurgence has the Bulls winning, in surprising fashion

Averaging nearly 15 points and 10 rebounds per game this season, Boozer has fought off inconsistency to have some monster performances to lead the Bulls without Derrick Rose To say the least, this season has been an interesting one for the Chicago Bulls and their (crazy) head coach Tom Thibodeau.
