The basketball Gods appear to hate the Boston Celtics. As if it’s not enough that both Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger are sidelined for the season, the Celtics will now be forced to go at least two weeks without Kevin Garnett. Per general manager Danny Ainge, the organization expects Garnett to be out of the [...]

Kevin Martin’s tenure with the Oklahoma City Thunders stands to live on. We think. With the volume-scoring guard set to explore unrestricted free agency upon season’s end, much has been made of his future, or lack thereof, in Oklahoma City. Not because of his performance, though. He’s averaging 14.3 points on 44.9 percent shooting (42.6 [...]

Kenyon Martin doesn’t want his ride with the New York Knicks to end. After spending most of the season waiting by the phone for an NBA team to give him a shout, the 35-year-old Martin has found a home in the Big Apple. And per Ian Begley of ESPNNewYork.com, he’d like to keep it that [...]

Carmelo Anthony doesn’t dunk anymore because, well, he apparently doesn’t have to. Or so he says. Per Chris Herring of The Wall Street Journal, less than two percent of Melo’s points come off dunks (a career low), and he’s okay with that: Anthony’s dunk marked just his 19th slam of the season. His 21 dunk [...]

It turns out Andrew Bynum has put the entire NBA in a difficult situation. Well, that’s a bit of a stretch. But the Philadelphia 76ers can take solace in knowing they’re not the only ones facing a gripping, Bynum-related decision. Set to become an unrestricted free agent upon season’s end, much has been made of [...]

Mark Cuban believes in Deron Williams and the Brooklyn Nets…said no one ever. Prior to Brooklyn’s 113-96 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, Big D’s owner was asked about Williams and the state of the Nets. When steered in the direction of admitting that the Nets weren’t contenders, yet still strapped for cash, [...]

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are inseparable. Until 2014 at least. Both LeBron and Wade are set to become free agents after next season (if they so please), and speculation has run rampant as to what James specifically will do next. Will he return to the Cleveland Cavaliers? Join forces with Dwight Howard and the [...]

Even before absconding to South Beach, LeBron James wasn’t always a beloved figure in Cleveland. Or should I say in the Cleveland Cavaliers locker room? Yeah, let’s go with that. Per Chris Tomasson of FOX Sports Florida, James was often chided (resented?) by his teammates upon coming into the league: Silas wouldn’t give any names. [...]

In a normal year, if an NBA teams wins 13 games in a row, they are the talk of the league. But this has been anything but a normal year. Since the Miami Heat are currently on a 23 game win streak, hardly anyone is talking about the Nuggets. In fact, hardly anyone realizes what [...]

The answer is no. The Boston Celtics have played their way well into the NBA’s playoff conversation and by doing so, they’ve opened the offseason floodgates, specifically with regard to Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley. Boston is 16-7 since Rondo went down and have, at the very least, feigned contention. Upon Rondo’s removal from the [...]
