Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: When it rains, it pours It was a rough 48 hours for the Nuggets. First was the wild finish in Golden State that ended with Andre iguodala's shot falling after the buzzer. The next night […]

Utah Jazz (9-7) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (12-4) 8 p.m. The Jazz just do. They are quiet and they are workmanlike, with little flash and glitz. Al Jefferson is the team's star and he is just the definition of being underrated. Paul Millsap does his work as a hybrid forward that straddles the definitiono f […]

By now you know what happened before last night's Spurs-Heat clash… Spurs' Popovich sent the team's "Big 3" back to San Antonio plus Danny Green, Stern didn't like that, and vowed "substantial sanctions" coming towards the Spurs' way. That's it in a nutshell. So now the fallout begins. You can understand both sides. Stern knew it's […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Allen bails out Heat Lesson No. 1 for defenses should be never leave Ray Allen for a moment beyond the 3-point line late in games. Bad things just happen to your defense when that happens. […]

San Antonio Spurs (13-3) vs. Miami Heat (10-3) 8 p.m./TNT Um, so this game got a lot less interesting. I mean, it might be fun to watch because Charles Barkley is calling the game, but Gregg Popovich's decision to send Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili home to end this road trip for San […]

Amar'e Stoudemire has gone from punching a fire extinguisher last season to reportedly saying he is willing to pack a punch off of the New York Knicks’ bench this season. It depends how his injured left knee responds over the course of at least the next two weeks. Then it is on. Or is it? […]

If you believe the talk surrounding the Nets' invasion of Brooklyn and New York City, it is actually quite a big deal. The fact New York City is actually five distinct boroughs probably gets lost on most people outside The Big Apple — I am not even sure I get it as an "outsider." If […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Rondo's streak ends with scuffle, Celtics reign too? It is probably a little too early to declare Boston's reign at the top of the Atlantic Division over. Rumors of the Celtics' demise have been shot […]

With the Nets up 51-35 in the first half of their game against the Celtics last night, tempers flared when Nets' Kris Humphries fouled Celtics' Kevin Garnett sending him crashing to the floor. Rajon Rondo didn't take to kindly to Humphries' foul on his teammate and that's when a brawl broke out.  Boston head coach […]

Houston Rockets (7-7) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (11-4) 8 p.m./NBATV Oh, hey there, James. Did not even notice you are gone. Why are you wearing red? There is a game tonight. Huh? You got traded. I thought you looked less beard-y coming off the bench. Tonight, James Harden returns to Oklahoma City for the first […]

Seems despite playing overseas in Turkey and a couple of stops in the NBA, Omer Asik still hasn't learned which basket is the aim when scoring for his team. In last night's Rockets-Raptors matchup, Asik tipped in the ball for Toronto in the second quarter but what is hilarious is how emphatic he was going […]

A year of waffling, saying one thing and meaning another and changing your mind while fans wait on your every word has the tendency to make you not trust a man. It also has the tendency to make you want to burn everything with his name on it in effigy, but Orlando fans largely held […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Brand, Collison come off the bench, fails to jump start Dallas Dallas does not have Dirk Nowitzki, and so any thoughts of making final statements or analysis of the team is likely incomplete. O.J. Mayo […]
