A losing season for the Knicks and down statistical year for Felton are only worsened by his recent legal troubles The New York Knicks are having a disastrous 2013-14 season. There I said it, and I do not think many people would disagree with me from the team's poor 21-36 record to the recent buyouts […]

At around this time of the year, we look at the disappointments of the year and wonder where their stars will go. Carmelo Anthony spent the entire trade season fending off rumors that he would leave the Knicks in free agency this summer or force his way out via a trade. Seeing as the Knicks […]

O.k., New Orleans… what the hell is wrong with you? As if the Pelicans' original mascot, Pierre, was not freaky-looking from the get-go, now comes this abomination. The Pelicans introduced their new mascot, "King Cake Baby," and it is just creepy looking. I mean look at it! LOOK AT IT! it's SCARY KING CAKE BABY […]

It was an eerie stat that ABC used during the broadcast of Sunday’s Heat-Bulls game. Despite all the hand-wringing and consternation about where the Heat are and the fact they have not quite looked like the championship team they were the last two years, Miami has an identical 39-14 record as they did last year […]

Fortunes can change quickly even in the course of one weekend — really just 24 hours. One moment, Nene was making the game-winning dunk against the Pelicans as the Wizards climbed to .500. {youtube}zJn91tHjOF4{/youtube} The next moment, Nene is on the floor with a sprained MCL writhing in pain on the floor at Quicken Loans […]

Well this was quite outstanding. During the recent Grizzlies-Clippers matchup, Memphis' James Johnson pulled off the self alley-oop after he blew past DeAndre Jordan and then dunked on Matt Barnes. Check out this magnificent play and listen to the crowd and Memphis TV announcers to nuts.

It was quietly the GIF of a lousy weekend for the Knicks. As Mike Scott rained in 3-pointers and the Hawks pulled away, Carmelo Anthony was siting on the bench shaking his head over how this game — this season — completely escaped his team and is slipping into oblivion.

Civil rights history will be made Sunday. And if not Sunday, shortly thereafter. The Nets plan to sign Jason Collins on Sunday, Ramona Shelburne of ESPN Los Angeles reports, and he should be eligible to play in Brooklyn's game against the Lakers on Sunday night. This will make Collins the first openly gay athlete in […]

Well, the trade deadline has come and gone. The teams in the league have used their last chance to gain long-term assets or make one last move for the Playoff push. Sure there will be some buyout mercenaries on the way too. It is not their last chance. This trade deadline though had some promise […]

There is not a lot of motivation for the Bucks right now. They have just 10 wins and are clearly the worst team in the NBA. Professionals though still have to play hard and give their teammates everything they have got. They owe that to them, right? Apparently not. In Thursday's game against the Nuggets […]

The biggest move from the trade deadline day was undoubtedly the one deal that snuck by everyone. Shortly after the whistle was blown and teh trade deadline passed, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reported the Pacers had acquired Evan Turner from the 76ers along with Lavoy Allen for Danny Granger. Everyone got what they wanted […]

Neal was a big free-agent pickup for the Bucks this summer. Now, he's a Bobcat. A bunch of minor trades have gone down today and the 2014 trade deadline has officially passed without any major players being moved. However, it appears that this year's deadline will come and go with only role player and reserve […]

Miller has been in Brian Shaw's doghouse since the two had a much-discussed confrontation Denver traded veteran point guard Andre Miller, who has had a falling out with the Nuggets' coaching staff, most notably Brian Shaw, to the Wizards for Jan Vesely, who has been a disappointment for Washington as a former 1st-rounder. The Wizards […]

Everyone wants the trade deadline to involve some type of blockbuster deal that changes the face of the NBA. It happens every year and we get a little ahead of ourselves. With free agency creeping up for both Kevin Love and Carmelo Anthony, it was getting to be widely assumed that both teams might look […]

Back in November, Dwight Howard returned to Los Angeles for the first time to face the Clippers. Several Lakers fans made sure Howard knew their presence and booed him soundly when he touched the ball. Wednesday night was the first time Howard suited up for the Rockets in Los Angeles against the Lakers, and he […]
