Derrick Rose Eyes Full Recovery In Return To NBA
It’s the moment that hurt more for Bulls fans than any other in recent memory. No, not watching an impressive 1-0 lead slip through stunned fingers in the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals to the Miami Heat. No, not wincing whenever the 2009 Cinderella Bulls got clotheslined by the Celtics in what proved to be one […]
Pau Gasol Latest Pawn In Trade Rumors
For as many times as Pau Gasol has been called “soft,” you would think critics of his game have completely forgotten how he manhandled the Boston Celtics in the 2010 NBA Finals. Very few times has Kevin Garnett looked physically intimidated by another player, let alone one who did the bashing strictly on basketball terms. […]
All The Right and Wrong NBA All-Star Moves
It’s that time of the year again when all of the game’s most deserving players get their All-Star nod. They’ve sweat buckets, sharpened their skills, and have battled the TSA on a daily basis, all while avoiding the cheap thrills that come with stardom. Not to mention that their respective teams sit comfortably at the […]
Don’t Call It A Comeback: Greg Oden Eyes NBA Return
Here’s some food for thought, in 2007 George W. Bush was still the POTUS. We don’t have to talk politics to know that things have changed considerably these past five years. Kevin Durant, chosen second in the 2007 NBA Draft, has since taken his team to the NBA Finals, and is on another MVP-worthy campaign […]
Rudy Gay Is On The Trade Market: Where Will He End Up?
In an effort to wrangle their pennies, the Memphis Grizzlies are flirting with the prospect of dealing Rudy Gay. Despite being a part of the NBA’s best five-player combos―sitting at the top of the heap alongside Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol, Tony Allen, and Mike Conley on a cush plus-138 throne―the Grizzlies need to shrink their […]
Is DeMarcus Cousins Seeing Boston Green?
It takes a rock-hard disposition to ditch playing for one professional sports league three seasons into your career, to join another alongside HOFs Larry Bird, Robert Parish, and Kevin McHale. It might take even more chutzpah to fight Michael Jordan in the NBA Finals. Danny Ainge has certainly gained a reputation as a hard-nosed player […]
The Stat-Studded Hornets
With the third worst record in the league, the New Orleans Hornets are surprisingly chock-full of Fantasy talent. They probably won’t be making the playoffs anytime soon, unless Anthony Davis morphs into the second coming of Bill Russell, but there’s enough nuggets buried under the rubble of a 7-23 record to deserve some digging into. […]
Flying Low, Shooting High: 2 Backup Point Guards Of Note
Not every team has a two-time MVP to rest all their potential success on (strong emphasis on potential). Most teams have to rely on an appropriately strong market of point guards—it is the age of the Rondos, the CP3s, and the Roses—to get things done. Few teams have had the fortune of last year’s Bulls, […]
