Rumors

For the first time in a very long time, the Dallas Mavericks will not be a part of the playoffs. For about a decade, they’ve been a fixture atop the Western Conference. But age and injury has kept them away this year. But if you ask Mark Cuban, he doesn’t anticipate this being a trend. [...]

If you thought the Miami Heat were the only team “resting” players in preparation for the playoffs, guess again. Whereas something like this was unheard of in the 90s, it has become commonplace for certain teams. The Boston Celtics are no stranger to this phenomenon either. The Heat and Celtics will face off on Friday [...]

In his second season as head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Mark Jackson has successfully led his young, talented team to a playoff berth for the first time in what seems like forever for the franchise. Jackson, who had no prior coaching experience, is probably one of the favorites for Coach of the Year [...]

Brandon Roy has only played in 5 games so far this season, but he’s looking to make it 6. We all knew that his comeback was a risky proposition, considering his shaky knees. But credit him for giving it a go anyway. Roy is traveling with the T’Wolves and hopes to participate in at least [...]

The wife of Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Rick Adelman has been hospitalized for some time now, and that has understandably taken a toll on Rick. It has made it difficult for him to focus on basketball. Previously, there was speculation that Rick may step down so that he could devote all of his attention on [...]

Time flies, especially in sports. If we told you that the last time the Knicks won their division was the 1993-94 season, would you believe us. You should, because prior to last night, that was the case. Nineteen seasons. That’s amazing. After defeating the Wizards last night, the Knicks not only won 13 straight (their [...]

The Bulls’ Joakim Noah has been sidelined for a while now with a foot injury. That means, they’ve been without their best perimeter player (Rose) and best frontcourt player when it matters most. Noah was supposed to be nearing a return, but has suffered a setback. With the playoffs less than a month away, and [...]

A few years ago, even though LeBron James was pretty much universally hated for leaving Cleveland for Miami, he still had the NBA’s best-selling jersey. In fact, he had that distinction for his first two years in Miami. He has finally been unseated, by Carmelo Anthony. I must say, this is quite surprising. Of all [...]

It sounds odd just even saying it out loud. The International Olympics Committee (IOC) is actually considering adding three players a side, half court basketball to the list of events for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. 3-on3 hoops is fun to play and fun to watch, but maybe I’m a bit old school. When it [...]

Typically, whenever a restricted free agent signs an offer sheet with another squad, he’s just posturing for more money from the incumbent team. But when he actually says that he’d rather play for the team in which he signed the offer sheet for, that’s an entirely different situation. Last summer, that was the exact situation [...]
