Chalk it up to preseason rust but Clippers’ Matt Barnes might need a few more preseason games to tune up his inbound passing. In a game versus Golden State, Matt chucked the ball from the baseline only to see it ricochet off the bottom of the backboard and into the hands of Stephen Curry. You […]

It was not that long ago when the Orlando Magic’s top priority was dealing away a disgruntled Dwight Howard, and the Magic fans’ top priority was winning the break up. When Magic General Manager Rob Hennigan signed, sealed and delivered Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers, Walt Disney’s neighbors were not so pleased. That was […]

After suffering a gruesome leg injury over the summer with Team USA (and no I will not link the video because it is that bad), Pacers’ Paul George will be out the entire 2014-15 NBA season to recover from surgery.
However, it does appear Paul is recovering faster than expected and is actually back on the court taking a few shots at Pacers practice.
He looks good and signs of his awful injury are no where to be seen. George is not limping or struggling on his surgically-repaired leg.

It is a rare event when a coach gets traded. Then again, Jason Kidd‘s one-year tenure in Brooklyn was anything but normal. Here was a coach fresh off of retirement taking over a veteran team with championship aspirations. The Nets, a team already boasting big expectations even if they were a bit undeserved and a […]

On Sunday afternoon, the Nets and Celtics participated in one of the NBA’s most interesting preseason experiments in recent memory: a shortened, 44-minute game with four 11-minute quarters. The idea follows suit with the MLB considering a “pitch clock” along with other initiatives to speed up games that routinely go past three hours. There has […]

So do the players. And because of ESPN’s reach, they have clout. Media ask the players about and they get responses. And, […]

There’s circus shots and then there’s how-in-the-hell-did-that-shot-go-down shots! Case in point, a recent game between Partizan and Olimpija where one player from Olimpija makes one incredible shot. If it was a game of “HORSE” you would lose after he called for a flying out of bounds, no-look, toss over the shoulder and behind the back […]

With less than two weeks to go until the NBA’s regular season begins, the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics have exchanged role players in a rare one-for-one trade. Detroit sent longtime backup point guard Will Bynum to Boston for reserve center Joel Anthony, who went to the Celtics in the January multi-team deal that landed […]

Maybe this is a move to try to capture some of the hardwood success of the NBA champs. Spurs Sports and Entertainment announced it has changed its D-League affiliate Austin Toros’ name, to the Austin Spurs. The press release says the name change will share the parent name of the NBA champs Spurs. “The rebranding […]

Certain things in the NBA seem sacrosanct — the 82-game schedule, the 48-minute game. These are some of the most basic things the game has to offer. The preseason is time to experiment and the league is experimenting away. You might have noticed the Bobcats and Pistons playing an 11 a.m. tip off Wednesday as […]

Sarver says over the PA that this isn't the team (Spurs) that fans paid to see. He said he'd send a gift to fans who mail him a ticket stub. — Paul Coro (@paulcoro) October 17, 2014

I don’t even know where to begin. It seems Knicks center Amar’e Stoudemire likes to bathe using red wine. Yes, you heard me. Red freaking wine! This is what you get to do when you make NBA money. You get to bathe in red wine. I am sure it is for some medical reason but […]

Tinder is a thing. It is a thing people do to get dates (apparently).
The simply swipe and instant gratification of judging people and meeting people has value for some people.
It is also a great way to get some hard-hitting NBA analysis. This is clearly the only place to go for the best there is in basketball thought on the 2015 season.
That is where World Wide Wob went because it is clearly the only place to go (warning, some of the language gets salty):

Talk about a sign your time in the NBA might be over. Lakers guard Steve Nash is old by NBA standards at 40 years old. While many players might be well into retirement or riding the bench, Nash still feels he has what it takes to produce on the NBA level but after hurting his […]
