Rumors

Remember how good the Nets were supposed to be after acquiring those pieces during the off-season? Weren’t they supposed to be a top 4 team in the East and legit contenders? Sure, it’s still early, but none of that stuff is panning out. In fact, it’s so bad that they bailed on the media last [...]

Mamba reloaded. Kobe Bryant has been medically cleared to resume basketball activities and has returned to Lakers practice. Naturally, he’s out of shape (his words, not ours) and just because he’s been cleared doesn’t mean he should jump in head first. As we know, it will take some time before he trusts his body enough [...]

Rajon Rondo hasn’t played a game for the Celtics in what seems like forever. In fact, with the departure of all of the key components from Boston, we’ve almost forgotten about him. But when he returns from his ACL tear, he will once again be one of the top PGs. And his injury hasn’t stopped [...]

The guys on the Cleveland Cavaliers’ roster apparently don’t know how this is supposed to work. A players-only meeting is intended to get guys on the same page and to right the ship. An altercation is the last thing that should happen. However, according to ESPN, that’s exactly what transpired. The Cavs had a players-only [...]

As great of a player as Dr. J was, I think it’s fair to say he’s still probably underrated. Two things are responsible for that in my opnion: he played part of his career in the ABA, and he was winding down as Jordan was taking off. For whatever reason, Jordan’s era is the one [...]

Lamar Odom’s slide began when he was dealt from the Lakers to the Mavericks. Essentially, that was the last time we saw the real Odom. We not sure who that guy has been since. Then, of course, he has had a myriad of off the court issues to deal with as well. But that’s apparently [...]

The Lakers enjoyed an amazing streak of 270 home sellouts (7 years worth of games). They’re the Lakers, why not? But that streak has come to a screaching hault. This all boils down to Kobe Bryant and his injury. Apparently, Laker fans aren’t interested in seeing Xavier Henry, Nick Young, and the like on a [...]

Players wanting to play in major markets is something that will never change, no matter what language is discussed during collective bargaining or during  a lockout. To that end, the Knicks are reportedly planning on using that leverage to recruit Kevin Love in 2015. This would be great for the Knicks and much needed. Right [...]

Barely two weeks in the and Knicks are on the verge of making a major move. Iman Shumpert has been a pleasant surprise for the team for the past couple of years and his perimeter defense has been refreshing. But in order to compete in the East, management apparently feels a move is needed. Shumpert [...]

The great Steve Nash may be falling apart right before our very eyes. He’s already likely to sit out the second game of most Laker back-to-backs, and now he’s out for a couple of weeks with back pain. Luckily for L.A., they’ve gotten off to a surprisingly decent start, thanks in large part to their [...]
