Rumors

Rondo has not gotten off to a great start with the Mavs. His numbers are down across the board, his team has struggled and he’s taken some heat stemming from his confrontation with Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle. His Player Efficiency rating is a career low 11.7 and his free throw shooting is atrocious, as he’s shooting 29% from the line [...]

Playing in an era with Mike, Magic, Bird, Barkley and others, it’s easy to be overlooked. That, perhaps, has been the case with Dominique Wilkins. A great player in his own right, but he’s named after the aforementioned. But the Atlanta Hawks are paying the ultimate tribute to ‘Nique. Today, his statue is being placed [...]

The Miami Heat gambled when they traded for Goran Dragic, because he seems poised to fully test the open market this summer when he becomes an unrestricted free agent. Despite the risk, Dragic is saying all the right things in terms of wanting to remain in Miami long-term. Worth noting that Miami will be able [...]

After much speculation over which team he would join this season, Ray Allen has decided not to play this season. Initially, it seemed like he would follow LeBron to Cleveland, but not even that was enough to entice Ray to play. You’d have to image we’ve seen the last of him even though he hasn’t [...]

Josh Smith spent nine seasons in Atlanta before ultimately signing in Detroit. That’s a long time and you’d think a player would develop a connection with a fanbase during that time. Not the case, however, for Smith. The Rockets visited Atlanta to take on the Hawks last night and Smith was soundly booed each and [...]

It’s always great to see a former player come back and hold a front office gig with the same team. In the years to come, we’ll probably see more former players try and old their old team. In the rafters in Sacramento is Vlade Divac’s #21 jersey and the big man returns to the club [...]

Brian Shaw had been clamoring for a head coaching gig for an eternity. But his time as head man in Denver has come to an end sooner than anticipated. Shaw was let go today as his team sits with a 20-39 record in the Western Conference. He wasn’t even on the job for two full [...]

Blake Griffin has been sidelined for the past 3 weeks due to a staph infection and it was bad enough for him to skip the all-star game. According to Doc Rivers, Griffin is inching closer towards returning. In fact, we could see him on the court within the next week or so. Los Angeles Clippers [...]

It’s hard to remember an NBA season where so many marquee players and key guys have been sidelined with injury. As if it couldn’t get any worse for Chicago, given Derrick Rose’s status, Jimmy Butler will also miss several weeks. Butler left yesterday’s loss to the Clippers with what was initially diagnosed as a possible [...]

DeAndre Jordan’s value to the Clippers can’t always be measured in the box score. When he’s not grabbing 20 boards a game or blocking multiple shots, he’s altering shots and clogging up the lane for the defense. It’s borderline criminal he has never been named defensive player of the year. His coach Doc Rivers agrees. [...]
