The post game is kind of dying. More and more centers are inching away from the paint and the 3-pointer has become a widely accepted and necessary weapon in the NBA. So who are the kings of the low block? Believe it or not after your Al Jeffersons and Kevin Loves and Blake Griffins, the […]

The Indiana Pacers’ severe injury problems have been well-documented so far this season and they started even before the game began, when Paul George broke his leg during a Team USA scrimmage. George is Indiana’s best player and there is no doubt about that. But, Indiana has been hit especially hard at the guard position, where […]

The last few years for Deron Williams have been extremely tough. It is not that Williams has missed a ton of games — he played in 64 last year and 78 the year before — it was just that it was clear Williams was not the same kind of player. He did not have the […]

It twas the second week of the season. And all through the house, not a creature is stirring, except Kobe Bryant‘s ego and his delusional belief the Lakers can win a championship this year. Yes, it is that time. Even with everyone moving past the beginning at 0-0, we have a decent idea of who our […]

No LeBron, no problem? The Miami Heat started out this year 3-0. In their three wins, the Heat averages close to 109 points per game, while also shooting close to 49 percent from the field. The Heat have dropped two games in a row to the Rockets and Hornets, who I believe to be two of the […]

An optimist, a pessimist and a realist walk into a bar… to watch a Lakers game. It does not matter how you slice it, the Los Angeles Lakers’ 0-4 start is bad – Ryan Reynolds as the Green Lantern kind of a bad. And domino after domino, the problems keep coming.

Nerlens Noel came into this season with a lot of promise and it looks like he could deliver on it. However, do not expect to see highlight plays from him all the time, but the athleticism is there without a doubt.

The Eastern Conference in the NBA is always a shake-up. Year after year, two teams that remain at the top of the conference, 11 other teams battle it out for six remaining playoff spots, and those last two teams fight for the number one draft pick. The Brooklyn Nets have been one of those 11 teams fighting to […]

ESPN’s NBA programming is extremely lacking. That is a pretty sad statement for a key partner for the league — one of its national broadcast partners — and the network that airs the NBA Finals. And that is where Bill Simmons’ Grantland Basketball Hour comes in.
“I hear the chatter of Kobe should ask out and he should go and play for a contender in this latter stage of his career. But that’s not what I do. I’m extremely loyal to the Lakers.
I believe in fighting through the tough times as well as enjoying the good times. It’s my responsibility to get us to be the best that we can be. It’s important that we approach that on a day-to-day basis.”
—Kobe Bryant to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports

Don’t look now, but the Sacramento Kings are 3-1. I will let that sink in for a bit. This in light of the fact the roster features these starters: Rudy Gay, DeMarcus Cousins, Jason Thompson, Ben McLemore and Darren Collison. Only two of those guys are starters on any other team and yet this team has […]

Boston trailed by 31 points in the first half of the team’s eventual loss to Dallas on Monday night. If you just looked at the final score — 118-113 Mavericks — you would have never known how far back the young Celtics got. If that were the case, you might not appreciate the work it […]
