Lakers take another hit at point guard

The reunion between Los Angeles Lakers point guard Steve Nash and head coach Mike D’Antoni keeps getting pushed back.

Los Angeles Clippers (10-6) vs. Utah Jazz (9-9) 9 p.m. When it comes to teams straddling the line between the two post, grind-it-out basketball and the stretch-4, spread the floor basketball that has pervaded the NBA, these two teams are in the middle of that spectrum. If the Grizzlies are on one end and the […]

Popovich, Restgate and Team USA

A side story of the San Antonio Spurs being fined for head coach Gregg Popvich resting four of his best players last Thursday against the Heat has to do with games that won't take place for another 18 months.  You see, Duke University head coach Mike Krzyzewski is likely not returning to coach Team USA […]

It didn't take long for Knicks' Rasheed Wallace to get tossed from the game versus the Suns last night.
