November 14, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Steve Nash is once again playing at an elite level even during the twilight years of his career.

November 12, 2010 – Kevin Burke The opening night matchup which featured the Miami Heat at the Boston Celtics ended up being the most watched regular season NBA game in cable history.

November 11, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol John Wall put up absolutely ridiculous numbers last night in the Wizards win against the Rockets.

September 3, 2010 – Kevin Burke Well, I’ll be damned. Just when I thought this team and tournament couldn’t get any more interesting, we hear this.
