The Heat have become LeBron's team. Does Wade miss being the man in Miami? [...]

February 7, 2011 – Kevin Burke The up and down pattern for the Knicks continued last week as I’ve come to realize that they are who they are. They’ll probably win somewhere in the neighborhood of 45 games and most likely be a 6th seed, which is currently where they sit now (which is certainly [...]

February 4, 2011 – Kevin Burke In D.C. this season, there has been so much attention paid to John Wall’s arrival, Gilbert Arenas’ long awaited departure from the club, and JaVale McGee’s participation in the dunk contest that many haven’t realized how the Wizards are actually performing on the court. The Wiz are now 13 [...]

February 3, 2011 – Kevin Burke The college game and the pro game are worlds apart and not everyone makes the transition as quickly as others. Number 2 overall pick in last year’s Draft, Evan Turner, isn’t adjusting that rapidly. To say that he has gotten off to a slow start in his NBA career [...]

January 31, 2011 – Kevin Burke Does anybody remember when O.J. Mayo was on the cover of countless magazines back in the day? He was barely in high school when he was coverboy for a myriad of basketball print publications. He took that hype to the University of Southern California where he played for one [...]

We knew he would be replaced. We just didn’t know by who and when. Jennings has missed the last 14 games for the Bucks as he is [...]
