This just won’t go away. No matter what the numbers or sheer logic say, the Dwight Howard to Brooklyn Nets rumors just won’t subside. At all. Brooklyn was Howard’s preferred destination of choice when he was with the Orlando Magic, but when the two sides were unable to strike an accord, Dwight ended up with [...]
For the Golden State Warriors, this is just the beginning. Golden State fell to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, putting an end to their Cinderella-esque postseason run. But this isn’t it. And the Warriors want Dubs Nation to know that. With a young core in place, the Warriors [...]
Can you honestly say you’re surprised? The Atlanta Hawks are reportedly after Stan Van Gundy to be their next head coach in hopes that his presence will give them a shot at signing free-agent superstar Dwight Howard. Though the Los Angeles Lakers remain the favorite to retain the NBA’s best center, he is also considered [...]
The closest thing we’ve seen to Michael Jordan has been Kobe Bryant. And I don’t mean from a basketball skillset standpoint, I mean from an emulation point of view. Ever since he entered the league in 1996, Kobe has walked, talked, pointed, chewed gum, shot free throws and fade-aways just like Mike. The similarities were [...]

It’s almost over, but not quite. Now that the Miami Heat have eliminated the Chicago Bulls from the NBA playoffs, the Derrick Rose chatter can stop. Criticism can cease. The “will he or won’t he” game desist. It’s finally over. Except it’s not. Chicago went down against Miami swinging. Down 22-4 early in the first [...]
Dwight Howard and Chris Paul have Dirk Nowitzki’s approval. Which should come as no surprise. After missing the playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks are going to be doing some serious name chasing this summer, and what better names to chase than the two best free agents available? Speaking on Dallas’ offseason plans, Nowitzki endorsed the Mavericks [...]
Things are not looking up in the Big Apple. The New York Knicks dropped Game 4 to the Indiana Pacers, falling behind 3-1 in their best-of-seven series. Now facing elimination from the NBA playoffs in Game 5, the Knicks’ backs are up against the wall and most of the general populous is doubting they’re ability [...]
All may not be well in New York. Following the New York Knicks’ Game 3 loss to the Indiana Pacers, Tyson Chandler (of all people) was more than critical of the team’s offense. He took jabs at the Knicks lack of ball movement that everyone and their extended family interpreted as indirect shots at Carmelo [...]
Well, duh. Kevin Durant was asked about life on the Oklahoma City Thunder without Russell Westbrook prior to the team’s Game 4 overtime loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, and he responded by saying the only thing he really could: He missed him. Asked Kevin Durant what he’s learned about himself in the absence of Russell [...]
Where did all the three-point shooting go? That’s what every member of the New York Knicks, their fans and Mike Woodson should be asking themselves following the team’s loss to the Indiana Pacers. New York fell in Indiana 82-71 (it could have been worse), attempted just 11 three-pointerss and connected on just three of them. [...]
