With the amount of microphones they put on the court these days, NBA viewers are subjected to a new level of intimacy with the players, coaches and even the refs. You get the occasional “F-Bomb,” some insight into coaching strategy and, best of all, some trash talk. Rasheed Wallace has a big mouth, that’s nothing […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Green > Gasol? The Spurs matchup with the Lakers came down to two deciding plays. A 48-minute game and rivalry came down to the very end. The way you would expect. San Antonio, trailing by […]

We love it when the Taiwanese animators put their spin on the NBA.  The Buss family, however, might not share our enthusiasm for this particular video.   Jim Buss is flat-out called an idiot (he drives around in a "short buss" and wears a bucket on his head).  And the Lakers are a bunch of […]

Three weeks ago, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were taking in Notre Dame's win at Oklahoma in nearby Norman, Oklahoma, when news began to travel across Twitter and across the wire that Oklahoma City traded James Harden to Houston. The news shocked the Thunder, especially so close to the beginning of the season, providing the […]

It has been a while since we heard about Chicago Bulls' Derrick Rose and his road to recovery after suffering a horrific left knee injury during last season's playoffs. He has been documenting his recovery through some adidas ads and now it seems he has begun to cut on his surgically repaired knee which should […]

After failing to make a decent contribution to the Mavericks, Lamar Odom has to be out to prove that his time in Dallas was just a fluke and he can return to form with the Los Angeles Clippers. So far, that’s not going so well. Odom is only playing 11 minutes a game, averaging 1.6 […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: It keeps going… and going… It was an unlikely hero in regulation that sent the game to overtime. And into the rabbit hole we went. Al Jefferson hit a 3-pointer that hit just about every […]

Boston Celtics (3-3) vs. Chicago Bulls (4-2) 8 p.m. Echoes of that epic 2009 first round Playoff series still resound whenever these two teams get together. Sure Ben Gordon has moved on, Derrick Rose is hurt and Ray Allen is in Miami. These are two completely different teams than those. And in Celtics-Bulls lore, Jordan's […]

The arrival of Andrew Bynum in Philadelphia was expected to be so significant, it led many writers to project  the Philadelphia 76ers at, or near, the top of the Eastern Conference. The only thing that could derail their rise to "primary threat to the Miami Heat" was Bynum's health (and maybe his attitude). A month […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: All is new again It was only a few hours after the Lakers finished up a blowout win over the Kings that the news broke. The Lakers had a new coach in Mike D'Antoni and […]

Just when it seemed it was a no-brainer and that former NBA coach Phil Jackson was all but on his way to replace Mike Brown on the Lakers' bench, comes news LA went with former Suns and Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni as their new head coach. According to the Los Angeles Times' Mike Breshahan, L.A. has […]

Miami Heat (5-1) vs. Memphis Grizzlies (4-1) 6 p.m. When the Miami Heat first came together, one of the memorable moments of their failure — or at least not the immediate success they seemed to claim was possible — was Rudy Gay sinking the Heat with a baseline jumper at Memphis. Two years later, things […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Closing time The Warriors and Nuggets played a yo-yo battle that went for two overtimes that at times seemed like a comedy of errors. There was the Warriors allowing Danilo Gallinari, who had missed his […]

Minnesota Timberwolves (4-1) vs. Chicago Bulls (3-2) 8 p.m. Minnesota was not supposed to race out like this without Kevin Love or Ricky Rubio available. Winning four out of the first five games was not supposed to bein the cards. The Timberwolves though have banded together behind the rugged play of Nikola Pekovic and some […]
