David Falk took a minute from his come-back as an NBA super agent to let everyone know what he thought of John Wall. First and foremost comes the question as to why Falk-and consequently, his opinion-even matters. David Falk was Michael Jordan’s agent. Additionally, he was sort of the John Calipari of his time, the [...]

Former head coach Stan Van Gundy has gotten a little ribbing from folks about his recent opinion on John Wall. Van Gundy didn’t say all that much wrong. The problem was that he was sort of implying that Wall wasn’t fit to be an NBA team’s cornerstone player. Reasonably, that suggestion was met with some [...]

The Washington Wizards aren’t known for their basketball savvy anymore, yet not even they would be dumb enough to trade rookie Bradley Beal. Anywhere.

The Miami Heat are not playing like a championship caliber team right now. Not at all. Except for LeBron James, that is. Miami is fresh off its second-straight loss, the first of which came against the Washington Wizards and the latter of which came against the New York Knicks. As demoralizing at the loss to [...]

A large part of me wants to believe in the Atlanta Hawks. Heck, looking at their 9-5 record, a large part of me is telling I should believe in them. But I don’t. Though Atlanta is fresh off a six game winning streak, it may have been one of the least indicative winning streaks in [...]

Rajon Rondo and the Boston Celtics have some work to do. After an offseason that saw Boston lose Ray Allen, yet gain enough talent to supposedly remain title contenders, the team is off to a lukewarm 2-2 start. More troubling than the Celtics’ record, though, is their performances during both their wins and losses. Not [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers opened their 2012-2013 season with some good news: their 2nd year point guard, and best player, was going to be able to start the game.
