It’s March, so you’d think just about everyone is over the fact that LeBron left Miami to return home to Cleveland. Everyone except Pat Riley apparently. Riles did all he could to persuade LeBron to stay, but ultimately, he followed his heart. Well, LeBron’s heart isn’t good enough for Riley because he’s still in disbelief [...]

The Detroit Pistons’ acquisition of Reggie Jackson hasn’t really gone as hoped. Stan Van Gundy’s team has dropped eight straight contests, tumbling to a 23-41 record while falling to the likes of the New York Knicks, Charlotte Hornets and Los Angeles Lakers. Just two weeks after it looked like Detroit could finish off an outstanding [...]

A few nights ago, he ditched the headband midway through the game and few years ago during the Finals, he [...]

Nevertheless, we’ve been waiting for the Spurs to and regain their title-winning form. After all, every player on the roster who logged meaningful playing time last year is still [...]

The Atlanta Hawks must’ve entered Monday night’s bout against the Sacramento Kings with something to prove. Mike Budenholzer elected to rest a few starters in the Hawks’ previous game, which turned into a surprising-though-not-shocking 92-84 loss at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers. “A lot of our guys got to learn and grow,” Budenholzer said [...]

Um…. Er… Sure. Kevin Durant and trade don’t go together in the same breath or sentence or room or shared sides of the globe. Not unless you’re referencing his opinion on a different deal, one the Oklahoma City Thunder pulled off or otherwise.

Greatness doesn’t come around very often. When it does, we sometimes manage to stop appreciating what some athletes are capable of accomplishing on a regular basis. We’ve done it to LeBron James, particularly since “The Decision.” Yeah, he was a hometown hero who carried the Cleveland Cavaliers to the 2007 NBA Finals. Yeah, James bolted [...]

The New York Knicks are New York Knicks-ing. There isn’t much left for the NBA’s worst team to play for other than losses these days. Carmelo Anthony is done for the year and they’re short on young talent to evaluate, so losing is in their best interest, since it greatly increases their chances of winning [...]
