UMass’ Derrick Gordon Comes Out Of Closet

We’re only a year or so removed from Jason Collins’ revelation and already doesn’t seem like a big deal. This morning, there was another such story, as UMass guard Derrick Gordon comes out as well.

Kevin Durant on His 25-Point Game Streak: “I Wish it Was Over”

Roy Hibbert Benched in Second Half in Loss to Hawks

It’s official: the Pacers have lost their way. Many complain that the regular season is too long, but I beg to differ. One of the benefits of having an 82-game campaign is to smoke out the players and teams that can’t hack the grind. Is this the case with the Pacers? Roy Hibbert has been [...]

Doc Rivers Asked Chris Paul to Pass More

Doc Rivers Asked Chris Paul to Pass More

One thing we’ve never really associated with Chris Paul was the notion that he’s a ball-hog. He’s a consistent double-digit assist/game guy and one of the few true PGs in the game. But if you ask Doc Rivers, Chris could stand to share the rock a bit more. Doc feels that the Clippers offense is [...]

Lakers Leaning Towards Keeping D’Antoni

Kobe isn’t always an open book, but if one thing’s for certain, it seems as if he’s done with wanting to play for Mike D’Antoni. And don’t get Magic Johnson started on D’Antoni.
