The Cleveland Cavaliers coaching vacancy wasn’t vacant for very long. After courting Phil Jackson (unsuccessfully) and Mike Brown, reports now are indicating that Brown is pretty much a lock to be the new head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers…again. Surely you’ll remember that he was LeBron’s coach in Cleveland before he was ultimately fired. Dan [...]

Who knows what’s going on with the Charlotte Bobcats. They can’t seem to get out of their own way sometimes. Last year when they had a coaching vacancy, it was widely believed that it would’ve been in the best interest of Michael Jordan and the franchise to make a splash with a big name. Instead, [...]

God, I love the NBA Playoffs. Chris Paul has a flair for the dramatic doesn’t he? Although the shot secured just one win in the series, putting them up two games has to kill the confidence of the Grizzlies. Unless, Memphis plays out of their minds at home, this one is getting out of reach [...]

It remains to be seen how the Memphis Grizzlies will fair in the playoffs for the first time since trading away Rudy Gay. They’re down 0-1 to the Clippers but it’s a long series. What has been so successful for them all season long has been the interior with Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol. They [...]

It wasn’t as much of a sure thing as Lebron James getting the MVP award again this year, but Knicks’ JR Smith getting the 6th man of the year award is not a shock of any kind. Smith was the Knicks’ second leading scorer behind Carmelo Anthony, and he did it coming off the bench. [...]
