The Lakers took their first loss on the road, 118-117 to the Pacers. LA looked like they had them on their heels, ending the third on a 17-0 run. Then, the Pacers picked up some momentum and a couple minutes into the fourth Phil Jackson called timeout. Kobe and the rest of the starting five … Read more

The Washington Wizards fired their head coach Eddie Jordan, making them the second team to give someone the ax. I agree with this move, the Wizards have the same team they had last year, they’ve only lost Haywood and Arenas (who was out this time last year anyway). Haywood is a big part of their … Read more

The New York Knicks made two big deals yesterday. First, they traded Jamal Crawford to Golden State for Al Harrington. Then, they sent Zach Randolph to the LA Clippers for Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas. These aren’t really great basketball trades, but they’re still great trades. The Knicks have freed up some money to run … Read more

The Oklahoma City Thunder have fired head coach P.J. Carlisemo because the team they put together is 1-12. I feel this move makes absolutely no sense. I would give Carlisemo an extension for starting 1-12. My reason: this team is going NO WHERE this year, we knew that. So why not get a lottery pick … Read more

Here’s a report from an inside source:When asked about why his Dallas Mavericks are competing with the Grizzlies (each are 3-7) Dirk said, “look we traded that young kid who was good and young, got a tremendous prehistoric point guard, problem is he’s just too old to get me a ring.” He thinks the trade … Read more

The Knicks played well for four and a half quarters, but they let the Mavericks come back and steal one in overtime 124-114. The Knicks fell apart; allowing a 19-2 run in the last 6:27 of the game. Mike D’Antoni was furious and I felt his pain. The Knicks seemed to be missing layups left … Read more

The Hawks beat the Sixers in an incredible come back. They were down by as many as 23 points, but they came back inch by inch in the second half. Guys like Josh Smith and Joe Johnson were the key down the stretch. For three quarters, Smith played a terrible game. But by the fourth, … Read more

Tonight the NBA season tips off with three games on the schedule. Cleveland will head over to Boston to see the Celts raise the banner at 8pm Eastern on TNT. I’m expecting a kind of All-Star like atmosphere for this game. The Celts will be all hyped up about the banner going up and they … Read more

Today the Marreese Speights camp took place at the Childs Park Rec Center in St. Petersburg, Florida. Unfortunately Marreese couldn’t make it because of bad weather in Philly. Still, the camp went on. It was a great chance for kids to play ball and enjoy the game. They want to continue doing the camps about … Read more

We are just three days away from the season, but I am going to break away from basketball for a second. There has been a baseball story really taking form from where I live in St. Petersburg, Florida. I live about 10 minutes away from Tropicana Field, where the Rays went 1-1 in their quest … Read more
