Was #35 better than Josh Howard?
NBA TV showed a Cavs vs. Celtics game from the 1992 Eastern Conference semifinals yesterday. That Celtics squad not only featured Larry Bird, Robert Parish and Kevin McHale (and a young benchwarmer named Rick Fox), but also Reggie Lewis.
Some of the young’ns in the office were asking what current player […]

The list of remaining free agents is somewhat scary. Is there a starter left within the group of unrestricted free agents? Possibly Earl Boykins (for a bad squad)? P.J. Brown? Troy Hudson? The restricted list still has some appealing names on it but unless your name is Pietrus, most of those guys will re-sign. Still, […]

Let me start by saying this: BY NO MEANS DO I THINK SCOT POLLARD IS A GOOD BASKETBALL PLAYER. That being said, I didn’t hate the C’s signing Pollard for the veteran minimum, and certainly didn’t expect it to spur the absurd argument between myself and Associate Editor/super-scout Austin Burton.
Austin’s claim: That he can […]

Being born and bred in Beantown, I couldn’t be happier with yesterday’s events. Today though, my excitement has already turned into anticipation of our next move.

The draft had it all: two major trades, a couple of surprise picks (Philly will be psyched with Thad Young. I’m not being sarcastic […]

I went to one of the most unique and bad-ass hoop party/event/gallery opening last night. Check out the premise:
Our boy Chris Isenberg from No Mas (dope clothing line) did crazy digital renderings of headshots of every NBA lottery pick from 1985 to 1995. The headshots were all from the year they were drafted […]

Today is PR day in the Dime office. For those who don’t know, our Brand Manager, Lifestyle Editor, former CBA and Puerto Rican League legend, Paul Rivera aka PR is leaving us for that little company that occasionally puts a swoosh on their kicks or clothing.
We’re celebrating, I mean commiserating the […]

Let’s be straight up for a minute — it’s very easy for us to hate on the Cavs and Mike Brown right now. Myself included. We knew going into this series that the Cavs were the underdog. Before I swayed myself with the stats that LeBron tore up Bruce Bowen in the two games they […]
