Pitchers and catchers will report in a few short weeks for baseball teams around the country. For those that simply do not like basketball — a) I do not understand you — this is the beginning of spring and one of the more look forwarded days of the year. It will have a distinctly NBA […]

Ahh Gregg Popovich. The mercurial San Antonio Spurs head coach was at it again with the media in last night's Spurs-Nets game. {youtube}6zN_uTl7t8c{/youtube} TNT's David Aldridge has the "pleasure" of interviewing Pop at the end of the first quarter and in true Pop fashion, game a less-than-thrilled interview which included short answers and sarcastic parting […]

Every All-Star Weekend, there seems to be one guy, typically a young player, who announces himself to the rest of the NBA. In 2009, Kevin Durant played on the national stage for the first time and dominated the Rookie-Sophomore Game. Kyrie Irving did the same in his 3-point barrage in Orlando during the Rookie-Sophomore Game […]

The Lakers injuries this year are well-documents — from Kobe Bryant to Pau Gasol to Steve Blake's recent return to Steve Nash's recent reutnr — the team has been a revolving door of injured players. Los Angeles has rarely been a complete team. They may never have been more incomplete than they were Wednesday. Los […]

It seems like Turner has been involved in trade talks for much of his Philly career. Now, with the 76ers in certifiable tank mode, he might actually be on the way out. As the NBA season winds down towards its February 20 trade deadline, more and more trade rumors get tossed around every day as […]

Did I miss the memo or something because apparently Kings' DeMarcus Cousins and Mike Dunleavy Jr. do not like one another. And of course leave it to the mercurial Cousins to let his feelings know about Dunleavy Jr. to the press. During their recent matchup, DeMarcus unloaded on Dunleavy Jr. calling him a "clown" “He’s […]

When Al Horford went down to a torn pectoral in late December, the Hawks were sitting third in the Eastern Conference and the only team not from Miami or Indiana in the conference above .500. There was some concern in the packed Eastern Conference that Atlanta could be in for a hard fall. OK, Atlanta […]

As the seconds ticked away during the Super Bowl, FOX showed a montage of the city's championships. Well, it was not really a montage as a statement that Seattle has not won a championship in a men's major professional sports league since the 1979 Seattle Supersonics, led by coach Lenny Wilkins, feather power forward Jack […]

With the Lakers struggling mightily in a tough West, Gasol–whose contract expires after this season–is suddenly expendable, and a contender like the Suns could use him The Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns both have had very different 2013-14 seasons then they were predicted to, one team in a bad way and another in a […]

As Seattle celebrated a Super Bowl victory Sunday night, Kevin Durant could count himself among them. Even though he now plays in Oklahoma City, there was a one-year period where he wore the Sonics' green. Most of Durant's highlights will have him in a Thunder jersey, so his time with the Sonics is going to […]

The Pacers got bigger and that is sure to make the Miami Heat a little more nervous. Indiana made the bold move of signing Andrew Bynum for the rest of the season Saturday, adding the often-injured but mercurial 7-footer to their collection of hard-nosed defnders with championship aspirations. There is little worry however that this […]

Even before Kyrie Irving stepped onto the floor Thursday night in what would turn out to be a 117-86 loss to the Knicks at Madison Square Garden (on national television no less), Irving was already answering questions about his future and the current state of the Cavaliers. A season that started out with so much […]
