Two players expected to be dealt before the deadline were Orlando’s J.J. Redick and Atlanta’s Josh Smith. At one point Thursday before the 3 p.m. deadline the two were in a proposed trade package for one another.

Kyrie Irving took care of his All-Star case a long time ago. So last night, he spent the final three minutes of Cleveland’s five-point win over the Thunder doing other things, like letting the world know he’s coming for that “point god” spot.

Boston had every right to lose this game. They didn’t get into Atlanta until 4 a.m., and they fell behind big in the first half.

It’s dunks like this one over Josh McRoberts that have people surprised. Read More »
OK, Josh McRoberts – nice work on the easy 360-between-the-legs dunk. It’s in layup lines, but who cares? Watch it here: Read More »
Behind the back. 360. Turnaround shovel shot from almost the three-point line? Yeah, I could see someone doing that at a Harlem Globetrotter event. But here’s Josh McRoberts doing it in an NBA game.
