Derrick Rose

It’s almost over, but not quite. Now that the Miami Heat have eliminated the Chicago Bulls from the NBA playoffs, the Derrick Rose chatter can stop. Criticism can cease. The “will he or won’t he” game desist. It’s finally over. Except it’s not. Chicago went down against Miami swinging. Down 22-4 early in the first [...]

Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors isn’t deluded when it comes to the state of his ankles. The sharp-shooting guard rolled over his left ankle in Golden State’s Game 3 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, and was a game-time decision for Game 4.

The Chicago Bulls have just five games to play and Derrick Rose continues to sit on the sidelines. Something must be wrong. And there is. It’s Rose’s knee. Not his relationship with the organization. With the former NBA MVP still out of action, fans and pundits have grown impatient. He’s cleared to play and we’ve [...]

Knowing that piece of info helps to understand why we were able to get not only the line drawing & colorway list for [...]

Well, this doesn’t look pretty. Late in the second quarter of the Denver Nuggets’ eventual win over the Dallas Mavericks, Danilo Gallinari took Dirk Nowitzki off the dribble with his left hand when suddenly, what seemed like an open path to the basket turned into a potentially season-ending injury. Gallo’s left knee buckled in toward [...]
