Rumors

Is it just me or is this year’s three point contest the event to watch at this year’s all-star weekend in New York. As a shooting guard I’ve always personally loved that event as much as the dunk contest, but with the decline in popularity of the dunk contest, rookie game, and even the all-star [...]

The writing has been on the wall for several weeks now and today, the Orlando Magic showed head coach Jacque Vaughn the door. The Magic are a very young team and in the East, anything can happen. But at 15-37, it won’t happen this year and Vaughn won’t be around to see it. In his [...]

If you can recall, Byron Scott was the head coach of the New Jersey Nets in the early 2000s and he was the man who led the squad to back-to-back Finals appearances. Jason Kidd, of course, was the leader of that team and was reportedly the reason why Scott was ultimately fired. More than a [...]

If nothing else, Phil Jackson is as honest as they come. Perhaps to a fault. He’ll always tell it like it is even if it doesn’t paint him in the most flattering light. We all knew this would be a “throw away” season for the Knicks, as they attempted to shed some salary, but even [...]

The Cavaliers have been on a roll of late, winning their last 11 games straight. But even though they’re climbing the standings in the East, all may not be well the squad. Kevin Love hasn’t been shooting the ball particularly well of late and LeBron James has a theory: he thinks Love’s confidence is shot. [...]

The legend of Michael Jordan being a fiery competitor wasn’t just a myth. We’ve always heard that Bulls practices were insanely intense. Jordan slapping Steve Kerr in the face during a practice is well documented, but that wasn’t Mike’s only run-in with a teammate. Apparently there was an incident that included a closed fist. According [...]

We all expected the Warriors to perform at a high level this year, but they’ve exceeded the expectations of many. They have the best record in the West and seem likely to make a deep run. Because the core is so young, it stands to reason that management would want to keep these guys together. [...]

On Saturday, the Mavericks were in Orlando taking on the Magic when Rajon Rondo was inadvertently kneed in the face by teammate Richard Jefferson less than two minutes into the game. It was enough to draw blood and for Rondo to exit the game and not return. As result of that blow, Rondo suffered two [...]

Damian Lillard’s all-star snub is one of the more egregious occurrences in recent memory. Despite that, I’m not sure it justifies that letter he posted on social media minutes after learning DeMarcus Cousins was given the final spot. In any event, having to decide between Damian Lillard and DeMarcus Cousins (two guys who are definitely [...]

The up and down season for Dwight Howard continues. The big man has been battling injuries for most of the season and he’ll be sidelined again. He could miss extended time with a knee injury. Even with a fully healthy team, Houston’s roster needs improvements to be the West’s elite, so this news certainly doesn’t [...]
