By now, the whole basketball universe is still dealing with the shock of future Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant’s untimely Achilles injury from Friday night’s game against the Golden State Warriors. If you’re like me, surely everyone thought the “Mamba” was going to walk it off and continue to lead the Lakers on their quest [...]

I’d love to see this graphic overlay-ed with the shooting percentages (big prize for any reader who can hook us up). But regardless of the percentages, its amazing to see Stephen Curry already outpacing what many consider to be the greatest three point shooters of all-time, Reggie Miller and Ray Allen. Provided Curry can remain [...]

The Golden State Warriors have clinched a playoff berth, but their seeding is still yet to be determined.  If they’re healthy, they can be an interesting matchup. The key word is “if”. Last night, Andrew Bogut went down with an ankle injury and did not return. This is the same ankle that caused him to [...]

Kobe Bryant seems to be very uncertain as to when he plan on retiring. He’s only 34 years old, but he has 17 years worth of NBA miles on his body. His game hasn’t fallen off all that much but I wonder how much desire he has left or how much he wants to accomplish. [...]

If you thought the Miami Heat were the only team “resting” players in preparation for the playoffs, guess again. Whereas something like this was unheard of in the 90s, it has become commonplace for certain teams. The Boston Celtics are no stranger to this phenomenon either. The Heat and Celtics will face off on Friday [...]

Kobe Bryant was on fire offensively last night against the Blazers. Yes, Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol put in solid performances, but in essence, Kobe Bryant single-handedly willed the Lakers into sole possession of the 8th and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. It’s not over yet, but the Lakers destiny is now in [...]

Wilson Chandler and Corey Brewer had big scoring nights. Andre Iguodala had a triple double. The Nuggets were firing on all cylinders last night as they jockey for home court positioning in the Western Conference playoff race. But it was JaVale McGee’s defense that provided the necessary spark to hold the Spurs to 86 points [...]

The New York Knicks needed bodies to supplement their depleted front line with, and their not-so-extensive search brought them to James Singleton. Frank Isola of the New York Daily News first reported that the Knicks were interested in the 31-year-old Singleton, who has spent five seasons in the league with three different teams. Knicks close [...]
