Portland has officially entered the race for big man Jermaine O’Neal. They originally drafted him out of high school in the now-legendary 1996 draft and he played there for four year until he was traded to Indiana where he spent the bulk and prime of his career. The Blazers are trying to bolster a front court […]

With Detroit up 105-104 in San Antonio with just 0.1 seconds left on the game clock for the Spurs to pull out a miracle, Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy was drawing up a defensive play to stop the champs from scoring. His plan included the players forming a wall and an f-bomb to drive […]

As if the 5-32 Knicks don’t have enough issues to worry about, they are now being sued by a fan who was ejected from a game exactly a year ago (January 7, 2014). Madison Square Garden claims the man was heckling Carmelo Anthony and using inappropriate language to do so. The fan, Anthony Rotondi, claimed […]
The disappointment etched on Tim Duncan’s unusually expressive face after Game 7 of the 2013 Finals is what he will try to expunge in the next two weeks. This is the dramatic center and essence of the 2014 edition of Spurs-Heat.

These are the defending NBA champs Spurs right? After blowing an 18-point lead, scoring the most points in a quarter this season at 37 and being at home, the Spurs found a way to lose after a botched in-bound pass from Tim Duncan (of all players) to Patty Mills that saw the Pistons’ Brandon Jennings […]

Ughhhh! Really Magic? Recently, New York traded J.R. Smith to the Cavs and his rep of being a streaky shooter and overall inconsistency on the court. Aside from the move just basically being about blowing up the Knicks after their 5-32 start, Smith still has some growing up to do on the court if he […]

Over the summer, LeBron James reportedly called Dion Waiters days before he made the decision to return home to Cleveland advising the former Syracuse star to “be ready”. In James’ SI letter, he cited Waiters as someone he thought he could help “elevate”. All of this to say that James clearly thought he could turn Waiters’ career trajectory around […]

How bad is it for the Knicks? Aside from being 5-32 and despite having Carmelo Anthony on the court, Derek Fisher on the sidelines, and Phil Jackson on staff, the Knicks haven’t had anything to cheer about this season. It’s so bad, the NY Times is looking to mercifully end their Knicks beat writer’s time […]

I’ve watched a lot of basketball this season, and of the handful of plays I keep coming back to from this young season, I have watched and re-watched this clip of a seemingly meaningless one-on-one battle between Marc Gasol and Larry Sanders. On the surface, it’s just opposing centers scratching and clawing for position, something that practically happens […]

24 seconds. That’s all that an NBA team has when they are on offense and when the shot-clock is winding down, it’s shoot or turn the ball over. But for Lakers’ Nick Young, he doesn’t need the full 24 seconds. He just needs 1 second to make a long distance three-pointer. Check out Young drilling a […]

Interestingly, this could be Oklahoma City’s first game with their new acquisition, Dion Waiters, who just came over in a three-team blockbuster from the Cavaliers. Waiters, who […]

There’s getting blocked and then there’s getting blocked and knocked down to the ground like Houston’s James Harden. The Bulls faced the Rockets and Chicago’s Jimmy Butler drew the assignment of guarding Harden and in the video below, it seems he did just fine. Harden was going for the shot with Butler in his face […]

For much of November and December, the unbelievably poor luck Oklahoma City suffered with injuries was the talk of the NBA. Grantland’s debut television hour was devoted to whether or not the Thunder would even make the playoffs, and bloggers around the country debated how OKC would fare making it out of the West as […]

Big man and former No. 2 pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, Emeka Okafor, is thinking about delaying his comeback to the NBA after suffering a herniated disk in his neck. He is “healthy” according to a source, but he doesn’t want to rush back into playing so that he can work on his strength […]
