Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: I never went anywhere The Clippers have the best record in the NBA and are on a 16-game win streak. Is there any more proof necessary to say that the Clippers are the best team […]

2.2 seconds left. That's all Mavericks' Darren Collison had left versus the Thunder in last night's game to force overtime with the score 98-95, OKC with the lead. The ball was inbounded to Vince Carter who loses the ball momentarily only to see it wind up in Collison's hands with .3 seconds left on the […]

In terms of TV, the NBA has taken over Christmas day (which is great because I need something to watch besides A Christmas Story). Unless it falls on a Sunday, the NFL doesn't touch it and the NCAA didn't even put one of its 97 bowl games on Christmas either. Your only other awesome option […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Taking all comers Oklahoma City had to fight. There was no doubt about that. Dallas was in a sour mood following a blowout loss to San Antonio in its last outing. The Thunder lost an […]

Kobe Bryant has been a high-volume shooter and scorer his whole career; nothing is about to change now If there is anything Kobe Bryant cannot do on a basketball court, it probably is back down. His bull-dog, constant effort mentality would never let him to do such a cowardly thing and has contributed greatly to […]

I guess when you are a struggling team like the Sacramento Kings, “indefinitely” means “one game.” Kings center DeMarcus Cousins was suspended indefinitely after getting into an argument with head coach Keith Smart at halftime of last Friday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. However, Cousins was reinstated by the Kings on Monday after just […]

Clearly we are no longer in the 1980s (or 1990s, as Blake Griffin would have you believe… read on). When making a television commercial, it is no longer sufficient to (1) present a product and (2) attach a famous sportsperson's face to it and (3) profit. Whilst back in the day many TV spots featuring […]

The Brooklyn Nets have fired Avery Johnson after the team has sputtered to a 14-14 start. That kind of record might have been OK in East Rutherford, N.J., but not for the new-look Nets in Brooklyn. The team has namd P.J. Carlesimo the interim coach. Brooklyn got out to an 11-4 start, but have gone […]

The New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns had quite the game last night and for the Knicks, it was a game without key players. The Knicks were playing short-handed. Carmelo Anthony was out with a hyper-extended left knee, Raymond Felton was sidelined with a sprained right pinkie and Rasheed Wallace also was out for the […]

Ainge has some tough decisions to make with this team going forward, and how he handles them could cost him his job As one of the NBA's most established and successful franchises, the Boston Celtics aren't accustomed to mediocrity and are used to winning, especially since the summer of '07 when they added Ray Allen […]

Every year of LeBron James’ career, as it gets closer to the All-Star break, people start hoping. “Will this finally be the year we see LeBron in the dunk contest?” The answer is always no. As each year goes by, the hope dwindles a bit as LeBron gets older and loses a little more explosiveness […]

Cleveland's Kyrie Irving is a super fast guard on the court and apparently is quite fast on his spin-control for a photo of him with a couple of women draped all over him (h/t Larry Brown Sports). Normally, who can't blame for a young, professional basketball player for enjoying his bachelor days and just living […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Curtains up It was only Steve Nash's second game back for the Lakers, his second game in that familiar Los Angeles uniform (well, Tuesday it was not the familiar uniform, but you get the phrase). […]

It is OK if you do not know much about Greg Monroe. He is kind of a quiet guy to begin with, but playing for the 9-21 Pistons pushes him further into the shadows. As the calendar turns to 2013, it might be time to see the improvement this third-year player is making and the […]
