Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Hard one to pick If you were like me, you spent the entire day Sunday glued to your TV watching college basketball for 12 hours. It did not seem like there was a miss in […]

Sunday Standings Watch: Effect of a win streak

There are currently two win streaks of 15 or more games going on in the NBA right now, which is just crazy to think about this late in the season. The pressure is on for Playoff positioning and both the Heat and the Nuggets have lots and lots to play for. These win streaks have […]

Starting 5

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Still the one There was a time when Chris Paul vs. Deron Williams was appointment television. There was a serious debate to settle after all. Who was the better point guard? The two are very […]

STAT-urday: Jazz out of tune

The Utah Jazz were flying high before the All-Star Break and comfortably sitting in that final Playoff spot. They had dreams of winning and moving up the standings to get better Playoff positioning. Then the Lakers got hot and the Jazz started to plummet. Utah decided to stand pat at the trade deadline even with […]

CC photo of the day: Lakers honor Jerry Buss

The Lakers will never be the same now that team owner Jerry Buss passed away this season. Buss brought flash, "Showtime," titles (10) and much more during his time with the team and this season's Lakers team honored Buss in one awesome way. During their team photo (h/t Larry Brown Sports) the Lakers left one […]

Grizzlies doing just fine without Rudy Gay

When the Memphis Grizzlies dealt away their leading scorer, they were criticized for “giving up” on a season where they had a real chance. They responded by going 17-6 without Rudy Gay, and they have become even more of a contender in the last few weeks. Their recent success gets overshadowed by the current win […]

Warriors focus on long-term goal: Playoffs

Mark Jackson has seen plenty of Playoff battles. His Knicks and Pacers were staples in the Eastern Conference Finals throughout the 1990s. The wealth of his experience is something that is a clear resource to this growing Warriors team. Jackson has brought something resembling a championship attitude to the Warriors organization. This year is looking like it […]

CC video of the day: Fan runs on court during Cavs, Heat game

The Cavaliers almost ended the Heat's insane winning streak last night in Cleveland but it wasn't just the players on the court that had everyone's attention. During the fourth quarter, the Heat were on defense when a fan ran on to the court wearing a tee-shirt with a message for LeBron James to return to […]

Andray Blatche may become “amnesty mercenary”

Very quietly throughout the season, Andray Blatche has had something of a rebirth. Often seen as a goofball in Washington's me-first locker room with Nick Young and JaVale McGee (it should be noted all three have thrived after leaving the Wizards organization and each other's company for more veteran teams), Blatche was among the high […]

LeBron adds a little trash talk to his dunk on Terry

By now, we have all gotten caught up in the debate of whose “posterization” was better, LeBron James on Jason Terry or DeAndre Jordan on Brandon Knight. I am still giving the edge to Jordan, but I have no doubt that Terry is having a few nightmares. After a dunk like that, you know reporters […]

Will injury cut short Waiters’ chance to lead?

When Waiters returns from his relatively minor knee injury, he will the leader of the banged-up Cavaliers, even though he just entered the NBA back in the winter Although he is just a rookie, Dion Waiters has already shown bounds of leadership on his scuffling Cleveland Cavaliers team, a team that has struggled the whole […]

Should John Calipari jump to the NBA?

Short of making the Eastern Conference Finals, it is hard to imagine Brooklyn Nets interim head coach P.J. Carlesimo lasting past this season.  At the same time, John Calipari's Kentucky Wildcats did not make the NCAA Tournament and are even coming off a loss to Robert Morris in the first round of the NIT. Seemingly, […]
