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 [...]

The San Antonio Spurs are still good, but they’re also hurting. Excuse me if I’m telling you something you already know; I just felt compelled to remind everyone. Because they’re good. Really good. Second-best-record-in-the-NBA good. A few jokesters (idiots?) probably predicted their demise. And by “probably,” I mean definitely. It happens every year. People mistake [...]

He thought they were hypocrites for dissing a former teammate after he left for greener pastures, before doing the same thing. And he [...]

Take note, kids. Milk doesn’t build strong muscles; working out with LeBron James in the seventh circle of hell does. While filming a new Miami Heat introduction video for this upcoming regular season, LeBron can be seen working out under all sorts of ridiculous conditions. There’s fire, eery looking walls and, if you look really [...]

Bruce Bowen’s reputation precedes him. During his playing days, he was a great defender. He was also considered a dirty defender, loathed by his opponents and (likely) adored by his teammates. Think of him as a good samaritan who hated tourists. That’s how I’d put it. Better than his defensive sets was his honesty. At [...]

Rajon Rondo has plenty of doubters, former Boston Celtics teammate Paul Pierce just isn’t one of them. Entering his eighth NBA season, Rondo, like Pierce, finds himself in unfamiliar territory. The Truth is playing for a new team in a new city while Rondo is playing for a new team in the same city. That’s [...]

The Boston Celtics don’t need to send Rajon Rondo anywhere. Apparently. Much has been made of Boston’s decision to hire analytic-guru and rookie head coach Brad Stevens, no conjecture more powerful than that which questions Rondo’s future in Bean town. After watching the Celtics trade away Kevin Garnett, Doc Rivers, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry, [...]
In game 4 of the NBA Finals, James, 33 points, and Wade, 32 points, were in rare form. The Heat crawled back from a 2-3 deficit to win the 2013 Finals. In game 7, James came thru with 37 points and 12 rebounds, Wade 23 points and 10 rebounds. Miami’s made 3 straight Finals and [...]
