March 26, 2012 – Ben Berry After winning their 3rd straight state championship, members of the Simeon Career Academy Wolverines took their sneakers off and left them on the hardwood as a sign of them “owning the court”. Coach Robert Smith had this to say: They were trying to make a statement saying this was [...]

March 23, 2012 – Griffin Gotta As the NCAA tournament’s Elite Eight get whittled down to the Final Four this weekend, the NBA is a little over a month from the beginning of the postseason. Or, as rest days and scheduling are considered, “normalcy.” College basketball’s playoff system crams so many games into about a [...]

March 23, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Allen Iverson is apparently as shocked by the rumor that he will play in the Dominican Republic this season as we were. In fact he’s puzzled by the statements by the DR team president that he was apparently going to play for. According to Iverson’s agent he’s still [...]

March 23, 2012 – Dan Favale After three straight losses, it’s safe to say the Clippers are in trouble. It’s also safe to say that head coach Vinny Del Negro’s job is officially unsafe.

Noel, who has already been compared to NBA Hall [...]

March 22, 2012 – Griffin Gotta I remember when Ramon Sessions left the Milwaukee Bucks after signing an offer sheet with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Bucks, to my surprise, declined to match. Coming off a 34-win season under then-new coach Scott Skiles (this was an improvement, mind you), Milwaukee was showing the very early signs [...]

March 22, 2012 – Dan Favale It was far from pretty, but the battle between the Knicks and Sixers on Wednesday night was sure as hell enlightening.
