Who knew he had it in him? Ever since former 5 time NBA All Star Chris Webber became a member of the media on either NBA TV or TNT, he’s kind of been the guy in the shadows of Chuck, Kenny, Ernie, D-Scott, and even Brent Barry on national telecasts. He sort of became the [...]

The Minnesota Timberwolves are winning. Like really winning. Without Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio, and despite injuries to Brandon Roy, Nikola Pekovic, J.J. Barea and Chase Budinger, they find themselves nearly atop the Northwest Division, just behind the Oklahoma City Thunder. And just to clarify, no, you’re not dreaming. Somehow, in the face of not [...]

Let’s get one thing straight: It’s still incredibly early in the NBA season. Now, let’s get another thing straight: J.R. Smith of the New York Knicks is already a legitimate candidate for the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award. No seriously, I’m not kidding. Smith has improved by leaps and bounds heading into this [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers received more bad news concerning Andrew Bynum. On November 5th, Bynum had his knee reevaluated. During that time, doctor David W. Altchek, Bynum’s personal doctor, let both Bynum and the Sixers know that the young superstar center had to be away from basketball for at least another 3 weeks. If the current [...]

Not angry at the historically volatile center, but at the league, at the Association itself. According to our own Allen Moll of THD, the big man was suspended by the league after confronting San Antonio [...]

Many questioned Bobcats owner Michael Jordan’s selection of University of Kentucky forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist with the #2 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. True, Kidd-Gilchrist plays like a man possessed, is a defensive stopper, and helped lead the Wildcats to an NCAA Championship but he still struggles to find his own shot and has that [...]

It’s no secret that Kings 3rd year forward/center DeMarcus Cousins is his own worst enemy. He’s proven to be supremely talented, ranking in the Top 3 in rebounding last season and appears to be bordering on potentially All-Star status. His temperamental demeanor and outspoken off-the court candid comments may have even cost him a spot [...]

We all saw it coming.  Fresh off a disasterous 1-4 start to the season, and one day after a now infamous video of Kobe Bryant shooting a death stare at coach Mike Brown surfaced, the former Cleveland Cavaliers coach is out and assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff is in. It’s not all Mike Brown’s fault.  Steve [...]

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been riding the early wave of some surprising defensive work. Averaging 8 steals and 8.5 blocks per game, the Wolves have so far held opponents to 89 points per game (good for 4th in the league). They’ve also hit the boards pretty hard, collecting 45 rebounds per contest (7th in the [...]
