Welcome to the rest of  the NBA season. With the All-Star break in our rear-view mirror, things are starting to get serious. They’re heating up. The Heat are heating up. Playoff berths and positions are on the line as the Association prepares for the latter quarter of its campaign. And so is lottery order, which [...]

Next on the list of this buyout frenzy appears to be Caron Butler and the Milwaukee Bucks. This should happen very soon and when it does, the Heat may have interest reportedly. Butler spent the early years of his career in Miami and would be a nice addition off the bench. For the past few [...]

The Thunder just got back Russell Westbrook and were at full-strength for the first time in a long time. That was short-lived, however. They will now have to survive without Kendrick Perkins who will miss six weeks due to a groing strain. He actually already underwent successful surgery. Perk has started all but 3 games [...]

If you’re old enough, you’ll remember the old MTV “Rock and Jock” annual celebrity basketball games where they had spots on the floor good enough for a 10-point basket. Could something like that be coming to the NBA? Close. The league has reportedly discussed adding a 4-point shot to the game. It makes sense when [...]

Danny Granger may be on the move. Again. Upon being traded from the Indiana Pacers to Philadelphia 76ers, you got the sense Granger, a former All-Star, wouldn’t be sticking around for long. And according to The Inquirer‘s Keith Pompey, that’s still expected to be the case: Danny Granger’s status with the 76ers could be resolved [...]

Just hours after the Knicks lost a heart-breaker to the Mavericks, NY point guard Raymond Felton was arrested and charged with three counts of criminal possession of a weapon. This is moving quickly, as he is expected to appear in criminal court in Manhattan Tuesday afternoon. We’re not sure what transpired, but we do know [...]

Oh, Knicks. Some bad things you believe will get better. The New York Knicks aren’t one of those bad things. Leading up and into the Feb. 20 trade deadline, the Knicks were unable to broker a deal, though not for lack of trying. Iman Shumpert, the injury-prone third-year guard who routinely falls out of favor [...]

The Heat/Thunder game on February 20th was a significant one for multiple reasons. Not only did it mark the return of Russell Westbrook to the active list for Oklahoma City, it was also the his mom’s birthday. In honor of the occasion, Westbrook wore a Player Exclusive pair of the Air Jordan XX8 SE celebrating [...]

The Nets brought Jason Collins in for a workout during all-star weekend and subsequently signed him to a 10-day contract Sunday morning. Sunday night, he was with the team as they played the Lakers in Staples Center. During the second quarter, he checked in with about 10 minutes remaining and made history. 35-year-old Jason Collins [...]

Kenneth Faried knows how to handle trade rumors. Leading up to the Feb. 20 trade deadline, the third-year forward was linked to plenty of scuttlebutt. Nothing ever came to fruition, so he remains a member of the (slumping) Denver Nuggets. Still, incessant rumors can damage a player’s psyche. Look at Iman Shumpert of the New [...]
