Kevin Garnett’s career is not over yet. Watching Garnett this season was difficult. Sometimes, you couldn’t even watch him, and not just because he missed 28 regular-season games. He simply played that bad. His jump shot wasn’t there, his mobility was so-so and the fire fans have come to know, expect and love or hate [...]
On the heels of another delusional tirade by banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling, the Clippers lost 104-98 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. How? How does the team with the best floor leader (Chris Paul), the best coach (Doc Rivers), and best frontcourt (Griffin/Jordan) lose a playoff series? In the critical game 5, the Clippers blew [...]

If Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck has his way, Rajon Rondo won’t be going anywhere. Speculation has run rampant with regards to Boston’s future. Trading Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce opened up the floodgates of conjecture. Would Rondo be next? Would the Celtics re-sign him? Would the point guard leave in free agency? Almost a [...]

Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov hasn’t given up his team. Meaning? He’s a far better man than I am. Although the Nets have began the season 16-22, waffling in and out of the Eastern Conference’s playoff picture, Prokhorov has yet to give up hope. His team was supposed to contend for a title following the [...]

Doc Rivers isn’t Ray Allen. Believe me, that’s an important distinction these days. Allen was the rat bastard traitor who left the Boston Celtics high and dry in 2012, spurning them for the Miami Heat and the opportunity to win a title. Rivers, who orchestrated his departure from Boston, is almost perfect. Or so says [...]

Okay then, Magic. Following the Brooklyn Nets’ 101-100 victory over the Miami Heat, Magic Johnson got a little excited. I’m going to assume that’s what happened, anyway. Something must’ve had him outright jubilant for him to say what he said. Magic attended the game and afterward, he proclaimed that the Nets may have the most [...]

Just leave it alone, Doc. LeBron James took exception to the way Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce treated Ray Allen after he left the Boston Celtics for the Miami Heat in 2012. He thought they were hypocrites for dissing a former teammate after he left for greener pastures, before doing the same thing. And he [...]

You knew this one was coming. For the 12th-year running, the NBA polled all 30 of its general managers on the happenings of the league. Questions ranged from “Which team will be most improved in 2013-14?” to “Which player is best at moving without the ball?” to “Why in the hell won’t the Boston Celtics [...]

Rajon Rondo doesn’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Following the Boston Celtics’ trade of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets, and Doc Rivers’ departure to the Los Angeles Clippers, there were a lot of questions surrounding the point guard’s future in Beantown. Was the team tanking and therefore, he on the [...]

A 37-year-old Kevin Garnett has still got it. Age won’t extinguish the competitive fire he has left, and it most certainly won’t deter him from being honest. That’s not how it was with the Minnesota Timberwolves, that’s not how it was with the Boston Celtics and that most certainly isn’t going to be how it [...]
