Luke: Jackie Moon of the D-League
The decisive Game 3 of the D-League championship will tip-off tonight (NBA TV, 9:30 p.m. EST) between the Austin Toros and the Idaho Stampede. Before the game I got a few minutes with Luke Jackson and Josh McRoberts of the Stampede, two guys playing in the D-League under very different […]

Senior Day
Is DeMarcus Nelson a pro? (photo. Duke)
As usual, once the national championship game is in the books and focus turns to the NBA Draft, everyone is talking about which underclassmen are going pro while the seniors are being ignored. To be honest, this past season’s senior class wasn’t all that — when Vanderbilt’s Shan Foster […]

Greg’s Antics Are Bit Much
I’m a big Duke fan and can normally ignore most of their antics, but this was kind of crazy last night. Between the flopping, the acting and the extracurricular stuff from Greg Paulus (was that a kick in the second scrum?), he’s lucky he didn’t get really cracked by Ryan Reid or one of the […]
Wall to Wall
As usual, the NBA schedule was light on Thursday, but wall-to-wall college ball was a good enough fill-in. No lie, there probably wasn’t a point during the workday when at least a couple of the Dime crew weren’t parked in front of the office TV watching one of the conference tourney games: everything from Big […]

The marquee hoops matchup on Super Bowl Sunday was supposed to be Cavs/Pistons, except someone forgot to tell Detroit they were supposed to let LeBron James go off. ’Bron put up 21 points, but for the most part was kept under wraps by the Pistons, who won pretty easily. Remember those years when you could […]
