Danilo Gallinari is going into an important sophomore season. The Rooster’s (his nickname, if you didn’t know) got to show New York that he’s got game enough to make things bearable for them this season. He’s got some talent and some tools and I’m eager to see how he does. Hopefully he’ll actually play the … Read more Talking About a Young Italian Knickerbocker

The NBA season is now just 15 days away. It’s pre-season and while I love speculating about how teams will do, can’t we just show a little constraint and not mention the Bulls historic 72 win season (or 70 wins period)? It’s not like I don’t want players to be confident, it’s just the simple … Read more Can The Season Start Before We Think of 70+ Wins?

Here is what the Under Armour BB Proto 3 “Young Buck” look like: They are OK shoes. Nothing much is going on with them, but they are probably not … Read more Brandon Jennings Gets His Own Shoes

The Bulls and the Jazz played a pre-season game in London yesterday. Going in, I was expecting a solid, but sloppy game. When the game started and I found out that Derrick Rose was out, my expectations lowered. But, for a pre-season game, the execution on both sides was better than I thought it would … Read more Bulls vs. Jazz: Very Solid Pre-Season Basketball

Today is the first day of official 2009-10 action. Sure it’s the pre-season and it’s not on TV, but hell, it’s something. Two pretty damn good teams too. The Jazz, with D Will, Boozer and crew battling Denver with Melo and Chauncey. Just feels good to be talking about two teams facing each other again! … Read more Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life

NBA.com has been producing some great videos lately. I’ve always loved seeing how NBA players workout and they’re giving us some good workout footage. I picked the two players in the title because they work with Tim Grover at Attack Athletics. He’s doing great work with guys like Arenas, Wade and Tracy McGrady. From what … Read more Video: Gilbert Arenas and Dwayne Wade Workouts

Delonte West was charged with gun possession recently, but reports say he’ll be in camp for the Cleveland Cavaliers. This surprised me. I thought the Cavs organization might not want him in camp yet, that they’d allow him to work on his personal issues. When I thought about it some more, I found some sense … Read more Delonte West: To Play or Not To Play?
