Prior to the Spurs’ road game against the Miami Heat, Popovich made the decision to send Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, and even sharp shooter Danny Green, back to San Antonio to rest. This was a [...]

Rajon Rondo is failing as the leader of the Boston Celtics. Coming into this season, never before was there so much talk of Rondo being Boston’s end-all, the one who would keep the Celtics’ cause intact. And subsequently, never before has Rondo been more of a disappointment. Statistically, the point guard has been sound. He’s [...]

Brooklyn is currently 10-4 and sitting atop the Atlantic Division—they have their victory over the New York Knicks to thank for that. So why not get excited?

We can’t blame them. Stoudemire was everything and more than the Knicks imagined he’d be during the early goings of the 2010-11 [...]

I’d like to start off by saying that Austin Rivers of the New Orleans Hornets is a rookie. Necessary? You wouldn’t think so, but some people seem to have forgotten this.

The Sixers’ Jrue Holiday is playing like the elite point guard that Philadelphia has been waiting on. With Andre Iguodala departing via trade and Andrew Bynum continuing to linger injured on the sideline, Holiday’s role became critical this year.

What in the hell is going on with the Golden State Warriors? Somehow, essentially without the likes of Andrew Bogut and Brandon Rush, Golden State finds itself atop the NBA’s Pacific Division. In case you’re wondering, that’s the same Pacific Division that houses both the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers. So, I repeat, [...]

Even though the Detroit Pistons had to wait a year for former NCAA Champion at Duke, Kyle Singler, to officially suit up for the team after playing a season in Europe, it’s been well worth the wait as the former All ACC performer has averaged 10 points, 3 rebounds, and is shooting nearly 50% from [...]

Marcin Gortat is a smart man. Like a really smart man. Smarter than the Phoenix Suns could have ever known him to be. Which doesn’t bode well for them. According to Paul Coro of azcenteral.com, the Suns offered Gortat a contract extension back in October, one in which he ultimately declined: Suns center Marcin Gortat [...]
