Last night, the Houston Rockets were on fire (video after the jump). Just about everything they threw up from behind the arc vs. the Golden State Warriors dropped. They tied an NBA-record with an amazing 23 3-pointers made, en route to a 140-109 win. Let’s see if they can do the same tonight vs. Miami. [...]

Move over Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett is about to take center stage at the NBA trade rumor mill extravaganza. Speculation has swirled over whether or not the Boston Celtics would ultimately deal Garnett, and thus blow up their financially cumbersome roster. As one of only four players with a no-trade clause in the Association, though, [...]

Yes, in some ways Kobe Bryant has been reinventing himself with the LA Lakers as of late playing the point guard position, distributing the rock, and shooting at a higher percentage. But tonight against the Nets the Lakers got the win the old school Kobe way. Sure he shot a poor percentage, but he affected [...]

He can change his name and his zip code, but he’s still Ron Artest. Over the weekend, Metta World Peace and his Lakers were in Detroit taking on the Pistons. During the game, Metta connected with Brandon Knight on what appeared to be a punch. In Detroit, he’s still throwing punches. The NBA has suspended [...]

Kevin Durant kisses his mom before games, gives respectful interviews and always makes time for the fans. He’s the nicest guy in the NBA. There’s no way he could be responsible for a rash of vicious highlight dunks. Or could he?” [...]

In the first quarter of Miami’s win against Charlotte last night, LeBron James utilized a classic post move.

It was efficient, nostalgia-inducing (clearly taking away from his work with Olajuwan). It was also [...]

When he was taken second overall in the NBA draft some years ago, there were high hopes for Michael Beasley. But he is now on his third team in his young career and we’ve long since heard rumors about his work ethic and lack of effort. This recent news certainly doesn’t help either. He was [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers are going to cap off a tumultuous season by doing nothing at the NBA’s trade deadline. Much has been made of what the team would try to do leading into February 21st. Would the Lakers attempt to trade Pau Gasol? Dwight Howard? Everyone (kidding)? Sitting 3.5 games outside the Western Conference [...]

Shot selection has always been the biggest weakness of JR Smith. Then again any streaker as lights out and streaky as JR Smith is bound to test the limits with “heat checks” from time to time. It’s a good thing the Knicks were pounding the Pistons last night when Smith airballed on this gunner from [...]
