In fact, per ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon, he prefers it: Center Andrew Bogut will be coming off the bench for the foreseeable future due to the problems the Dallas Mavericks have had playing him next to Dirk Nowitzki. Bogut and Nowitzki have played only [...]

The Magic have finally done what pretty much everyone eventually expected them to do: Move Nikola Vucevic to the bench. And he isn’t happy about it. Per Zach Oliver of the Orlando Pinstriped Post: [tweet https://twitter.com/ZachOliverNBA/status/803063544300392448] Bismack Biyombo took Vucevic’s spot in the starting five for the Magic’s Sunday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, [...]

It was great to see Tracy McGrady in an NBA uniform once again for the Spurs during the playoffs. Granted, his name was only called in garbage time, it was still refreshing to see him out there. For someone as great as he was, you hate to see him have to go to China go [...]

After dribbling the ball [...]

October 23, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol After the war of words and heated battles between the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat in the 2006 NBA Finals, I never thought i’d see the day that Jerry Stackhouse would play in Miami.

McGrady was one of the ‘Big Three’ that we discussed were on the verge of either signing or retiring this summer. The Bulls have definite interest, provided McGrady [...]
