Mike Dunleavy

Mike Dunleavy is back! Or, well, almost back. Dunleavy has yet to play this season as he rehabilitates a back injury that required surgery and included post-surgical complications. But that will all change on Saturday when the Chicago Bulls face the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of the Vertical: Chicago Bulls forward Mike Dunleavy [...]

Additional offensive help is not on the way for the Chicago Bulls. Already bogged down by subpar play at the point guard position (sup, Derrick Rose) and in the frontcourt (sup, Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah), the Bulls definitely need an offensive boost. Though they rank as one of the league’s best three-point [...]

This season, Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal told USA Today that himself and Wall are, “definitely the best backcourt in the league.” But, after his dismissal from the Warriors, former Head Coach Mark Jackson called Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry the, “greatest shooting backcourt in the history of the game.” Since then, the question of [...]

Danilo Gallinari can score. Sometimes it’s pretty, sometimes it’s not. His game-icing bucket against the Milwaukee Bucks though was pretty—pretty damn wild. With the Denver Nuggets ahead by four and less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, Ty Lawson poked away an entry pass made by Brandon Jennings. Gallinari came up with the [...]

April 10, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors My money is on Serge Ibaka. Just looking at the man you know he don’t play. Ibaka is not only a shot blocking machine for OKC, we now know he’s also got a ‘kung-fu grip’. Dunleavy holds his own in slapping away Ibaka’s hand, but you can tell [...]

January 30, 2012 – R.S. De France The Los Angeles Lakers lost another road game. Big surprise. But losing 100-89 to the Milwaukee Bucks, who just lost Andrew Bogut for another 8-12 weeks? [...]
