I’ve watched every Pistons game since the Allen Iverson trade a few weeks ago and what I’ve seen most of time hasn’t been pretty. They’re obviously struggling mightily as they work through major on-court adjustments as well as A.I.’s practice issues and other related drama.
The changes in their makeup shouldn’t be taken […]

Greg doesn’t need to be treated like a baby
After seeing THIS today, and THIS two weeks ago, I’m officially worried about the Portland Trail Blazers.
They have a very talented, very young team with a likable roster with international appeal. And they’re good (11-6 as of last night). So why do they so seem desperate […]

A writer for the Sacramento Bee named Bill Bradley is saying that if given the choice, he’d take Spencer Hawes over Greg Oden:

To follow up on THIS POST this morning, this is what it looked like over at the 8th Avenue between 16th and 17th Streets in Manhattan around 7 a.m. this morning.

I woke up early this morning and took the dog for a walk in my neighborhood like I do every day. I live down by West 4th and when I walked past the court, this was waiting…
If you look at the way the basketballs were set up, they’re lined up as a No. 23. This […]

Yesterday I hit you with the list of NBA players I’d love to have on my team, so today I figured I’d come back with the list of guys on the other side…

‘Noc could run with my squad any day
I watch a ridiculous amount of NBA basketball. Lots of times I’ll find myself watching guys play, thinking about what it must be like being their teammate. There are dudes who are clearly great to play with and others … not so much.

I can admit when I’m wrong - and I’m pretty close to doing that today. When the Raptors dealt for Jermaine O’Neal in the offseason, I kind of laughed to myself. I remember thinking it was a gamble for the Raptors because while they clearly needed to move T.J. Ford, I could easily […]
