Let me tell you, constructing this list was not easy. Only certain NBA teams have actually sent out press releases with their preseason schedule, meaning it took some digging to compile this. As it has become common knowledge, each team will play two preseason games – one home and one away – against the same opponent. And with limited time before the season begins on Christmas Day, pairings have been determined geographically. So without further ado, here’s the 2011 NBA preseason schedule: Read More »

This has been the week of the point guard. With all the Rajon Rondo trade talk, Chris Paul trade talk, Rondo-for-Paul trade talk, and Deron Williams planning to opt out of his Nets deal, point guards have dominated the NBA landscape.

One of the most heated arguments of the week was over who would you rather have, Rondo or CP3? With that in mind, I decided to rank my Top 10 point guards in the NBA right now. Read More »

By now you’ve seen Derrick Rose‘s latest signature shoe, the adidas adiZero Rose 2. But we guarantee you’ve never seen it like this. Introducing the “Christmas” edition, made exclusively for Derrick’s game (most likely) against the Lakers on Christmas Day. Check it out: Read More »

Now that the season is upon us, you knew that the next thing to drop from our friends over at Jordan Brand would be Dwyane Wade‘s solo commercial for his forthcoming signature shoe, the Jordan Fly Wade 2. In this new 30-second spot titled “This Is Flight,” watch D-Wade shows you what it feels like to be airborne in that moment of calm before takeoff. As you know, the game’s most memorable plays often coincide with brilliant acts of flight. Read More »

Thanksgiving leftovers are finding their way into our meals, holiday music is playing everywhere we go and the Rockefeller Christmas tree is lit. Yes, the start of the 2011-12 NBA season is finally near. Though we’ll have to wait for free agency and amnesty activity to wrap up in order to make truly educated approximations of where many players should be picked in our fantasy basketball drafts, it’d be unwise to lie idle before then. If you haven’t already started mapping out your potential round-by-round selections in your head, it’s time to get cracking. Read More »

Last year, no one was bothering with the Brad Millers or the Tony Allens of the game. Stars were available; The world, set to be re-made. This free agency, with a period that’ll come and go as swiftly as 50‘s prime, without any real bank breakers or future stars, it’s all about securing the role players. Take at look at our free agent tracker. How many of those guys are even the third-best player on a title team? Hardly any. All-Stars? You’ll have an easier time convincing CP to stay in N’awlins. But there are numerous players available with specific skill sets who can step into a working team and make a difference.

This is where Jamal Crawford comes in, one of the most talented one-on-one players in the league. Read More »

We’ve been hearing rumblings of this, but it’s finally here. Introducing the NBA’s Opening Day schedule on Christmas: Read More »

We’ve argued this time and time again. Two points guards. One team. Who would you rather have running your squad? There are so many moving parts in a discussion like this, that oftentimes it’s impossible to settle on an answer. You can look at personal accolades, team success, age, stats, etc. – at the end of the day it normally comes down to personal preference. For PGs, do you like pass-first or a scoring hybrid? How much does their supporting cast matter? You could do this all day.

This week’s discussion has centered around Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul. And now Shaq has decided to let his opinion be heard. Read More »

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: One of the best things to come out of the NBA lockout was Brandon Jennings dominating every game he played. Everywhere. This led our friends at Hoopmixtape to ask the next logical question: “Is there a better one-man show in the world right now?” With that, check out his official lockout mixtape. Read More »

As the basketball world has been wrapped up in Rajon Rondo trade rumors and Chris Paul trade demands (or non-demands), two pieces of the “Big Four” of the NBA’s best point guards have remained outside of the fray. Along with Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook‘s name hasn’t been been mentioned in any real credible rumors, despite some of the drama that went down at the end of last season in OKC.

The Thunder want to do their best to make sure Westbrook’s name stays of the rumor mill and make sure he knows he’s loved in OKC. Read More »
