Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Bulls still Bullish Without Derrick Rose, there were definitely questions about the Bulls. Is this Chicago team going to be one that maintains the championship caliber play that made the team the top seed in […]

Orlando Magic (2-0) vs. Chicago Bulls (2-1) 8 p.m. The Magic and the Bulls are down their leading players sponsored by adidas. Well one of them is injured and working to a return. The other one is off in La-La Land. Yet, in the first week of the season, no team's play may be more […]

The NBA is evolving to where the position of center is being phased out. This is not a knock on what big men are doing these days. On the contrary, it is actually a compliment to their hybrid skill sets that now include outside jumpers and more athletic moves to the basket, rather than just […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Waiters sinks Clippers It did not take long for Dion Waiters to find his footing in the NBA. After two years largely spent coming off the bench at Syracuse and being a change-of-pace guard, Waiters […]

Indiana Pacers (2-1) vs. San Antonio Spurs (3-0) 8:30 p.m. When you looked at the list of conference contenders entering this season, Indiana and San Antonio probably did not pop off the list. Sure the Spurs made the Western Conference Finals, but they lack the pizzaz and allure that the national pundits have given to […]

That's Donald Sloan of the Cleveland Cavaliers, with maybe the most hilarious flop I've ever seen.  The arms up while spinning will be a great audition for the Cavs community theater production of The Sound of Music.   But as funny as it is, it's a no-no in today's NBA, even though it wasn't called. […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Lakers roll to first win If you had the Lakers pegged for 0-82, I am sorry to disappoint. There was plenty of schadenfreude and laughing to go around in the first week of the season […]

Throughout his stellar NBA career, Spurs' Tim Duncan has been one of the best defenders in the league. Whether it be snagging a key rebound to making that all-important defensive stop, TD surely brings the defense whenever San Antonio needs to stop an opposing team from thinking they got a chance at beating the men […]

Philadelphia 76ers (1-0) vs. New York Knicks (1-0) 12 p.m. The 76ers and Knicks are somewhat surprisingly 1-0. Philadelphia defeated Denver at home on opening night without Andrew Bynum, taking down one of the teams many pegged as one of the Western Conference's best. The Knicks came out Friday night and blew out the Heat […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Saturday night drama Across the NBA on Saturday night there was plenty of drama and plenty of exciting finishes. In other words, it was a great Saturday to have the NBA back! Martell Webster missed […]

Toronto Raptors (0-1) vs. Brooklyn Nets (0-0) 7:30 p.m./NBATV At long last, the Nets arrive in Brooklyn. Brooklyn's original home opener against the rival Knicks was postponed to late November after Hurricane Sandy rocked the New York area.

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Lakers fall again Is now the time to panic, Lakers? No. It is only three games. Still the feeling that Los Angeles would come together and simply make it work is gone and questions are […]

Los Angeles Clippers (1-0) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (0-2) 10:30 p.m./ESPN Kobe Bryant does not want anyone talking about this game. You know, ESPN should probably go ahead and not show it. Because all they will talk about is how the Lakers are struggling to grasp the Princeton Offense and have two losses to their […]
