Just because the Celtics lost Ray Allen to free agency, don’t throw them a pity party just yet. They’ve reloaded their complementary pieces and should give Miami all they can handle when the two inevitably meet in the Conference Finals. And consequently, they’ve gotten younger too. The Celtics decided on Tuesday to let Dionte Christmas [...]

Lactic acid ain’t got nothin’ on Jeremy Evans. It’s amazing how adrenaline in the heat of the moment can keep you sprinting up and down the floor without barely a breath. Check out this play by the Jazz’s Evans against the Clippers in preseason action last night. Evans blocks Turiaf, sprints the floor for the [...]

There was  time when NBA arenas didn’t have a corporate sponsor and they were just named after the city or team for the most part. But of course, there’s too much money to be left on the table by not giving naming rights to a company willing to shell out millions. No matter what their [...]

Dallas Mavericks Coach Rick Carlisle this morning announced that the team has decided to suspend guard Delonte West for ‘conduct detrimental to the team’. Details are limited as to the incident, but apparently West had some sort of locker room incident after a Dallas win. Some are speculating the outburst was due to lack of [...]

You would think after acquiring Dwight Howard and Steve Nash, the time for the Los Angeles Lakers to remain outside of the rumor-mill had finally come. Apparently not. Los Angeles improved their roster by leaps and bounds this past summer, adding not only the likes of Howard and Nash, but also the offense-heavy presences of [...]

The Santa Cruz Warriors (Golden State’s D-League affiliate) held open tryouts recently. Whenever a team has open tryouts, it brings in just about any and everyone, still holding on to their hoop dreams. It even brought out a 76-year old who wanted to cross something off of his “bucket list.” Source: Santa Cruz Sentinel [...]
