Despite playing the entire season without their leader Derrick Rose, the Bulls have played very well. But Derrick Rose’s brother isn’t impressed with the roster. Rose’s brother Reggie (who is also his manager) wanted the team to add some pieces in order to make the team better. He also implied that their trade deadline inactivity [...]

Nothing was falling for the Knicks the night before last. They missed their first seven attempts from deep and saw their best player struggle enough to finish the night on 7-21. Their point guards couldn’t get much going, with the Pacers closing up passing lanes as quickly as they opened up. By the end of [...]

The Milwauke Bucks were rumored to be the most likely landing spot for Josh Smith, if Atlanta moved him. Well, Atlanta didn’t move him. But Milwaukee did bolster their roster by adding sharpshooting J.J. Redick to spread the floor for Jennings and Ellis. The Orlando Magic were in the process of finalizing two separate trades [...]

The Houston Rockets still have big plans. Like Dwight Howard-sized plans. After pulling off a series of trades with the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings, the Rockets have essentially been left with a potential star in rookie Thomas Robinson and a rekindled (reaffirmed?) hope of acquiring Howard. No, the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t going to [...]

Steve Nash is a two time league MVP, and a wizard with the basketball. We always hear him described as “making his teammates better” wherever he goes and whomever he plays with. There was another great player that used to be described that way as well. Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson. And although Magic’s career was cut [...]

In sports, there’s nothing better than having a great game against the team that traded you away. Last night, the Rockets played host to the OKC Thunder and James Harden lost his mind. He finished with a career high and overshadowed Kevin Durant’s second career triple double. James Harden scored a career-high 46 points and [...]

Thomas Robinson was high a top almost all of the NBA Mock Draft boards last year. So its not a surprise that Rockets fans are jumping out of their seats with joy tonight as word spreads that the Rockets have acquired Robinson in a three team deal before the deadline. The Houston Rockets have reached [...]

People have criticized the NBA All-Star Dunk Contest over the years for not having enough star power to captivate the world’s attention. With names like Darrell Armstrong, Jonathan Bender, and Chris Morris, the dunk contest hasn’t even captivated the attention of the basketball world. Even with contestants like Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Shawn Kemp, and [...]

Anything can happen leading into the NBA trade deadline, but that hardly means everything we hear will. As such we must take Alex Kennedy of HOOPWROLD’s latest report that the New York Knicks are targeting Josh Smith with a grain of salt: Every year at the trade deadline, there is at least one move that [...]

It’s bad enough that most fans and certain members of the media have blamed the Lakers’ struggles on Mike D’Antoni’s style of offense. But the fact that Phil Jackson has just done it is a terrible situation for D’Antoni. Phil recently came out and said Mike is misusing his two key big men. The funny [...]
