The Minnesota Timberwolves are a young, talented team but injuries over the past couple of seasons have prevented them from reaching their potential. Last year was Ricky Rubio and this year is Kevin Love. But Rubio is back, as you know and last night, he recorded his first career triple-double vs. San Antonio. Rubio, playing [...]

Dwight Howard emerged from the Amway Center with both a victory over the Orlando Magic and some fresh new perspective on the Los Angeles Lakers in hand. Though the prevailing theme in the Lakers’ latest travels was Howard’s return to Orlando, something much greater can be taken away from this: Dwight and Kobe Bryant are [...]

As MSG completes a $1 billion dollar renovation, it seems odd that only 1 NBA All-Star Game ever took place there (in 1998), while the New York Knicks have made 5 NBA Finals. Honorable Mention: Bernard King’s 60, Amar’e Stoudemire’s 41, Carmelo Anthony’s 41, Kyrie Irving’s 41, Jeremy Lin’s 38 [...]

In his third season, it’s safe to say that most hoop fans do not think that John Wall has lived up to expectations so far. Granted, he’s still young, but for as much hype as he received in high school and at Kentucky, he should be well on the Kyrie Irving arc (who has one [...]

What’s ailing Carmelo Anthony? That’s the eight-figure question currently plaguing the New York Knicks. We know it has something to do with his knees and fluid, but how serious is it?

Kyrie Irving will be out 3-4 weeks with his latest shoulder injury and thus we continue to bear witness to the NBA’s version of the “Curse of Madden.” You know the curse I’m referring to, where any player who appears on the latest edition of the Madden video game franchise cover seems destined for excessive [...]

“Kyrie Irving” and “injury” are becoming far too commonplace. Irving is already a top 5 PG arguably, but he just can’t stay healthy. He’s now out 3-4 weeks with a bad shoulder. Cleveland may as well shut him down for the remainder of the year. Let’s just hope this doesn’t become a theme for his [...]

Dwight Howard has been putting his foot in his mouth for more than a year now. Once one of the most liked, beloved guys in the leauge, he is definitely now one of the most disliked amongst fans. Last week, he ripped his former Orlando teammates (whether he intended to or not), and today he [...]

Last night, the Clippers routed the young, hapless Pistons 129 – 97. The NBA season is long, especially if you’re not winning. That taste of continual losing can weigh heavily on any player. And it did for Detroit’s Greg Monroe. Following the loss, Monroe ripped his teammates for the effort they put forth. “Maybe guys [...]
