Everything about the New York Knicks’ coaching search has been weird. So, typical Knicks. But in a different way. Team president Phil Jackson whiffed on his first and only choice in Steve Kerr, who recognized that more money and a better roster beat out whatever potential shit show New York could play home to next [...]

On the heels of another delusional tirade by banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling, the Clippers lost 104-98 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. How? How does the team with the best floor leader (Chris Paul), the best coach (Doc Rivers), and best frontcourt (Griffin/Jordan) lose a playoff series? In the critical game 5, the Clippers blew [...]

There’s a lot of movement happening with the Detroit Pistons these days. Joe Dumars is no longer the GM and Stan Van Gundy is not the head coach and is running basketball operations as well. But there may be a new change on the horizon: Isiah Thomas may become part-owner. Thomas’ reputation has taken a [...]

Even though the Nets swept the Heat during the regular season, Miami disposed of Brooklyn rather easily in the second round. So what does that mean for the Nets now? They were built specifically to make a run this year. Granted, losing Brook Lopez early on in the season didn’t help. One player who has [...]

Times are a changing. One day, you’re Kobe Bryant, ruler of the Los Angeles Lakers. Your will be done. Don’t like Shaquille O’Neal? He’s gone. Championships? Got ’em. Comparisons to Michael Jordan? Check. Then, quite suddenly, you’re old, going on 36 and fresh off a season that saw you appear in just six games. You [...]

With Phil Jackson missing out on his number one coaching target in Steve Kerr, the search continues for the Knicks. Phil is reportedly interested in a young coach that he can mold. That’s why we heard Kerr’s name and we’re not hearing names like George Karl and Jeff Van Gundy. According to ESPN, Jackson is [...]

If you’re a basketball fan, you can’t help but love what the Spurs have done over the past 17 years. In the Tim Duncan era they have never been in the lottery(Kawhi Leonard is the lowest draft pick they’ve made since 1997, and that pick was traded from Indiana), have always won 50+ games (or [...]

Game 5 of the Clippers – Thunder series ended in a very controversial manner. The Clippers squandered a lead, but an interesting out-of-bounds call by the refs gave OKC another shot at winning, which they took advantage of. Because of the controversy, Doc Rivers went off after the game and criticized the refs. Not surprisingly, [...]

Tony Parker left last night’s game 5 win over the Blazers early due to a tight hamstring. San Antonio didn’t really need him, as they easily took care of Portland, sending them home for the summer. But is Parker’s hammy something to keep an eye on? If the Thunder – Clippers series goes 7, he’ll [...]

Phil Jackson called his shot. Then he swung. Then he missed. After a months-long courtship that began long before Mike Woodson was officially fired, the New York Knicks missed out on Steve Kerr, who agreed to a five-year, $25 million deal with the Golden State Warriors Wednesday night, according to NBA.com’s David Aldridge and Yahoo!
