Kevin Durant can do no wrong in the eyes of many NBA observers, even when he deserves criticism. At least we know that he’s hard on himself too. With Russel Westbrook out, that obviously means more shots for KD. He has to carry the offense in order for this team to continue winning. But according [...]

Marc Gasol injured his knee the same day Derrick Rose did, but unfortunately for Gasol, not many were talking about him the following day. All of the focus was on Rose. However, since the dust has settled, we can refocus on the big man, who sprained his MCL nearly two months ago. He has been [...]

It’s no secret that this knee injury for Derrick Rose is far less significant that the one prior. To that end, he seems to be progressing nicely and quickly. He has already ditched the crutches apparently which is a huge milestone. It still remains to be scene if he’ll return to the Bulls (who look [...]

Last night, Minnesota hosted Phoenix in a nationally televised game and came up short. Following the game, Kevin Love was apparently frustrated with the behavior of some of his teammates and decided [...]

Andrew Bynum may have bad knees and a bad attitude, but he’s still tall. And that is something you cannot teach. That’s why the recently released 7-footer without a job has drawn interest from many teams. Eight to be exact according to reports. Let’s just hope these suitors know what they’re doing because this can [...]

The surprise isn’t that JR Smith was fined by the league for untying the sneaker of an opponent. Rather, the surprise is that it was only $50K. Shawn Marion was the first victim two nights ago, and he tried the same on Greg Monroe (unsucessfully). Ok, enough, JR. This falls in line with Jason Kidd telling one [...]

LeBron continues to make it tough for his detractors to remain his detractors. He routinely does things to engage fans and show that he’s truly a good guy.

Much was made of the Clippers’ acquisition of Stephen Jackson several weeks ago. He’s a crafty veteran with championship pedigree on a team that sorely lacks it. That may all be true, but it apparently didn’t work out for Jackson and the Clipps as he was waived on Tuesday. Andrew Bynum was also waived today [...]

A few games ago, Ryan Anderson of the Pelicans was involved in a collision with Gerald Wallace of the Celtics and had to leave the game on a stretcher for precautionary reasons. You always hate to see that. Today, we learned his fate which is that he’s out indefinitely with a herniated disc. Tough blow [...]
