The Cavaliers had a slow start to the season, then got hot, and have slowed down once again. Although they’re 18-12, Cleveland lost at home to the lowly Pistons by 23 points on Sunday night. The loss of Anderson Verajao eliminates the only legit rim protector they have, but that’s no excuse for this loss. [...]

Despite several teams—Cavs, Grizzlies, Clippers, Warriors, Spurs, Bulls, Wizards—interested in acquiring his services, free agent guard and two-time NBA champion Ray Allen may not make a return for the current season as he’s said to be leaning towards retirement, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, who was recently interviewed on ESPN1540 radio in Cleveland.

Because of the Knicks surprisingly slow start, many players are expressing pity towards Melo. A few weeks ago, LeBron James said he felt sorry for Melo and last night, former teammate Tyson Chandler said the same thing when he was sneakily asked that question by the media. I’m sure Melo isn’t looking for pity from [...]

While many are still scratching their heads over the firing of Kings coach Mike Malone, Sacramento appears on the prowl for their next long-term hire already. So far, we’ve heard George Karl, Vinny Del Negro and now Mark Jackson. In fact, Jackson has already met with the GM. Jackson’s demeanor seems like it would be [...]

With the firing of Kings coach Mike Malone coming as a surprise, naturally there’s already talk about who will replace him. As of right now, Tyrone Corbin is taking over on an interim basis but it sounds as if the team will still look for another coach. George Karl sounds as if he’s very interested [...]
