When watching the Los Angeles Lakers, it doesn’t take long to see that they’re missing something or rather, someone. That someone is Steve Nash. It seems fairly obvious. After all, Nash is a perennial All-Star who can give you 15 points and 10 assists per game. Yet his value to Los Angeles doesn’t stop there. [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers franchise must be snake-bitten when it comes to talented yet often injured big men. In year’s past, it’s been injuries that have prematurely shortened the careers of former Sixers bigs Jeff Ruland, Matt Geiger, Chris Webber, Elton Brand, and now Andrew Bynum. In the less than spectacular Eastern Conference currently dominated by [...]

After breaking his hand earlier in the season, Kevin Love was finally back in action for the Timberwolves. He’s first game back was on the road against Portland. Though the Wolves lost 103-95, Love had a pretty good game (decent by his standards) with 24 points and 13 rebounds. His percentages weren’t very high at [...]

I’m worried about the New York Knicks. More specifically, I’m worried about Carmelo Anthony and the effects his leadership will have on these Knicks. Anthony is having a sensational season. He’s averaging 25.3 points and seven rebounds per game, posting a 22.49 PER in the process–the highest of his career. To say he’s one of [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers may have made a mistake. That mistake may have been Andrew Bynum. After shipping out a franchise cornerstone in Andre Iguodala in exchange for Bynum’s services, the towering big man has yet to set foot on the floor as he continues to wage a losing battle with both of his knees. And [...]

Record-breaking scoring performances always catch my interest, so when I heard about 5’10 Grinnell College’s Jack Taylor’s 138-point performance breaking the NCAA record, I thought it was amazing, until I watched the video. It was incredible, but something was missing. Highlights: Taylor is quick and maintains a good dribble under pressure. When Taylor rises up [...]

The New York Knicks are having an exceptional start to the season. The backcourt presence of Jason Kidd and Raymond Felton’s break out performances have been a steadying force for the Knicks offensively. But what has surprised almost everyone, maybe even the Knicks themselves is their defensive presence so far this year. Everything stops with [...]

Remember when Dion Waiters was considered a draft-day reach for the Cleveland Cavaliers? Of course you do. And remember when he made critics eat such a notion? Duh. Then remember when he started to look like a bust once again? Wait, what? That’s correct. After what was supposed to be a coming out party for [...]

The Minnesota Timberwolves’ Brandon Roy received some bad news yesterday. After aggravating his knee injury on November 9th, Roy has been informed that he will have to have yet another knee surgery. To this point, that makes 5 knee surgeries for Minnesota’s all-star guard. When asked about the possibility of his career being over due [...]

The Denver Nuggets have a problem. Strike that, the Nuggets have a bounty of problems, none more pressing, however, than their overall start to the season. After having what many deemed one of the most fruitful offseasons in the NBA, Denver currently sits at 4-6. To put that record into a more significant context, let’s [...]
