“Kyrie Irving” and “injury” are becoming far too commonplace. Irving is already a top 5 PG arguably, but he just can’t stay healthy. He’s now out 3-4 weeks with a bad shoulder. Cleveland may as well shut him down for the remainder of the year. Let’s just hope this doesn’t become a theme for his [...]

Dwight Howard has been putting his foot in his mouth for more than a year now. Once one of the most liked, beloved guys in the leauge, he is definitely now one of the most disliked amongst fans. Last week, he ripped his former Orlando teammates (whether he intended to or not), and today he [...]

Last night, the Clippers routed the young, hapless Pistons 129 – 97. The NBA season is long, especially if you’re not winning. That taste of continual losing can weigh heavily on any player.

Even though it would probably be in his best interest to stop talking to the media about his Orlando days, Dwight Howard apparently can’t help himself. A few days ago, Dwight gave an interview to KCAL-TV in LA about his past. Dwight had some less than flattering things to say about his former teammates. At [...]

A few nights ago, Carmelo Anthony went down with an apparent knee injury and did not return to the game. It was strange in that he tripped over nothing at all. He landed awkwardly on that knee back in December and has been experiencing discomfort ever since. ‘Melo will likely sit tonight, but could this [...]

On Sunday, Serge Ibake hit Blake Griffin in the groin in the 4th quarter of the Clippers – Thunder game. To many, it looked intentional although Ibaka later stated that he was not trying to hurt Blake. Many also thought he would be suspended. But Ibaka was only hit with a $25K fine and no [...]

Flip Saunders was relieved of his duties last year as head coach of the Washington Wizards, but he’s still very much a part of the NBA. Well, at least he hopes to be. Flip is heading up a group who is interested in purchasing the T’Wolves. Is this the first time a former coach may [...]
