Because of Hurrican Sandy, the Knicks and Nets opening night showdown never took place. Last night was the make-up date in Brooklyn. The Nets won bragging rights until the next meeting, by way of their OT win, but Tyson Chandler had a moment at the expense of Brook Lopez and Gerald Wallace: [...]

My guess is Drew Gooden doesn’t have the most fond memories of his time in Chicago. Nor does he have positive feelings towards the Chicago Bulls organization. Either that or he just has some weird fetish with toilets and basketball jersey’s. Yesterday afternoon Drew Gooden told his followers on twitter that the first one who [...]

Michael Jordan’s Bobcats are not off to as bad a start as last season, but every once in a while they remind you just how embarrassingly bad they really are. Like last night when they played the OKC Thunder. It’s no surprise Durant and Westbrook’s Thunder squad took it to the Bobcats, given they are [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers franchise must be snake-bitten when it comes to talented yet often injured big men. In year’s past, it’s been injuries that have prematurely shortened the careers of former Sixers bigs Jeff Ruland, Matt Geiger, Chris Webber, Elton Brand, and now Andrew Bynum.

Jameer Nelson shakes Pierce so badly that it really looks like he almost broke his ankle. Allen Iverson and Tim Hardaway would be proud. There has to [...]

A knock against Harrison Barnes while he was at UNC, was that he disappeared during games too often and you forgot he was on the floor. But there’s one person who will never forget Barnes is on the floor: Nikola Pekovic of the T’Wolves. This has to be a Top 5 dunk so far this [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers may have made a mistake. That mistake may have been Andrew Bynum. After shipping out a franchise cornerstone in Andre Iguodala in exchange for Bynum’s services, the towering big man has yet to set foot on the floor as he continues to wage a losing battle with both of his knees. And [...]
