The Wilson Chandler experiment is not going well for the Denver Nuggets. Not well at all. But is it time for the team to give up hope of the wing man ever making a substantial contribution? It’s a more than fair question. Since being traded to the Nuggets in 2011 as part of the Carmelo [...]

We can call for Pau Gasol’s head until we’re blue, purple or green in the face, but he was nowhere to be found when the Los Angeles Lakers were taken down by the Houston Rockets. Gasol sat out in Houston as he continues his seemingly lost battle with tendinitis in both of his knees. But [...]

Just what the hell is in Tim Duncan’s gatorade? The San Antonio Spurs are-yet again- surprising practically everyone with their 14-4 record. Gregg Popovich has, seemingly on a dime, switched the emphasis on Spurs basketball from that boring, lamentable half-court offense to what it’s been the past couple of seasons: an enviable mix of three [...]

A large part of me wants to believe in the Atlanta Hawks. Heck, looking at their 9-5 record, a large part of me is telling I should believe in them. But I don’t. Though Atlanta is fresh off a six game winning streak, it may have been one of the least indicative winning streaks in [...]

It’s not easy being Tyson Chandler of the New York Knicks. Seemingly single-handed, Chandler turned the Knicks into a top-11 defense last season, and he and coach Mike Woodson have picked right back up where he left off. His direction on the defensive side of the ball remains nothing short of inspiring and innovative. He [...]

The Los Angeles Clippers are absolutely infuriating. Yes, infuriating. I personally spent a large chunk of the NBA offseason criticizing their roster and many of the moves they made; I simply didn’t believe they were a contender, or even a viable powerhouse for that matter. But then the season began. Los Angeles was 8-2, Chris [...]

Last night, the Orlando Magic further lifted the fog on just how brittle the Los Angeles Lakers have been looking. Yes, the short end of this story is that the Magic won a game through the efforts of an all too convincing final period. Kobe Bryant had another monster game (34 points, 7 rebounds, 5 [...]

Their record doesn’t reflect, but the Los Angeles Lakers are still an NBA powerhouse to be feared. After Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard led the Lakers to a loss at the hands of the Howard-less Orlando Magic Sunday night, Los Angeles dropped below .500 for the fourth time this season. Obviously, for a franchise with [...]

The rather surprising trade earlier this season that helped the Houston Rockets acquire the multi-talented James Harden from the OKC Thunder has done wonders for the Rockets franchise. The pairing of Harden and Jeremy Lin in the backcourt gives Houston as dynamic a duo as any team in the Association and finally gives the Rockets [...]

Back in October, when 4 time All Star and NBA Champion Rasheed Wallace decided to come out of retirement and sign with the NY Knicks, the often outspoken and tempermental big man promised everyone that at age 38, he was much to old to be clashing with officials. After all, coming into Sunday afternoon’s tip-off [...]
