Drama, drama, drama. You knew this season was going to be tough for the New York Knicks. Not 10-21 and tied-for-the-third-worst-record-in-the-Eastern-Conference tough, but tough enough. Speculation was bound to ensue with Carmelo Anthony preparing to explore free agency for the first time of his career. You just knew it. But it wasn’t supposed to be [...]

This year’s prized crop of potential one-and-done immediate impact freshman like Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, and Julius Randle have been every bit as good as expected. What we didn’t see coming is just how good some of the returning upperclassmen like Marcus Smart, Doug McDermott, and Shabazz Napier could be. Players like Kansas freshman Joel [...]

They enjoy the occasional snifter of brandy or, in the young at heart’s case, sporadic glass of chocolate milk decorated with a crazy straw. Point is, they’re not robots. They’re [...]

The Hoop Doctors want to wish you all a very safe and happy holiday season. Here’s hoping you were all good boys and girls so Santa will wipe out that xmas list. We too will be visiting with family and friends, so we will be closed for business December 24th, 25th, and 26th. Of course [...]

Should the Clippers trade Blake Griffin for Carmelo Anthony? Stephen A. Smith suggests the struggling Knicks should send future free agent forward Carmelo Anthony to the Los Angeles Clippers in return for Blake Griffin, but here are 3 really good reasons you don’t pull the trigger on that trade if you are the Los Angeles [...]

Prepare yourselves for the most unconventional of NBA compliments. Following the Indiana Pacers’ 106-79 romping of the Boston Celtics, Roy Hibbert told CSNNE’s Abby Chin that Jared Sullinger could be “the Kevin Love of the East.” Quite the form of praise, wouldn’t you say? Sullinger is in his second season with the Celtics and is [...]
