When I first saw a headline that read Philadelphia 76ers big man Spencer Hawes scores 58 points in Jamal Crawford’s Seattle Pro-Am, I’ll admit my first thought that it must be a typo.

Surprise, surprise. Paul Pierce recently admitted that neither he nor Doc Rivers nor Kevin Garnett was prepared to endure a rebuild for the Boston Celtics. Shocking right? Not exactly. Speaking with SLAM Magazine’s Adam Figman, The Truth was very candid about what went down in Beantown: Well, I know the insides with everything that’s going [...]

Knicks starting PG Raymond Felton is solid but is he the answer? He played well in spurts. Jason Kidd is no longer a part of the equation but Pablo Prigioni is back. Looking to add more depth at that position, the Knicks have signed veteran PG Beno Udrih. I’m sure all three will start at [...]

Michael Beasley finds himself in trouble once again. Once upon a time, people actually debated whether Beasley should’ve been drafted ahead of Derrick Rose in the draft a few years ago.
