Around the NBA

So, as a collective audience, can we finally appreciate the greatness that we are experiencing with LeBron James? When are we gonna stop with the charade of who’s the best player in the league when the answer is obvious? After the Miami Heat defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 117-104 on Tuesday night, James put himselfdoubt [...]

Nine months after surgery to repair a torn ACL, Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose still can’t dunk a basketball and is unsure of his return date: “I really don’t know,” he said. “I’m feeling good, but like I said, if it’s where it’s taking me a long time and I’m still not feeling right, I [...]

I don’t know much about Gery Woelfel, except that he’s a columnist/report for the Journal Times in Racine, Wisconsin. What does he mean by primary destination? That Smith wants to come to Boston? I don’t see how the Celtics can make a deal for Josh Smith. Atlanta isn’t taking back Brandon Bass and Courtney Lee. [...]

ESPN’s Chris Broussard is hearing the Celtics could have interest in Spurs forward DeJuan Blair. Broussard claims the Spurs tried to dump Blair in Detroit, but they wouldn’t take him.

But according to Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post – Garnett has no love for Denver: Kevin Garnett is everything the Nuggets need. Heck, his scowl alone is more intimidating in the post than all 21 feet of [...]

After practice today, the media asked Kevin Garnett about the recent trade rumor involving the Los Angeles Clippers (scroll to 2 minute mark): “Danny made it very obvious since day one since he brought Ray and myself here to be aligned with Paul that he was going to do whatever is best for this organization [...]

We’re less than 24 hours from the “Rajon Rondo has a torn ACL” announcement and I’m already drowning in columns, opinions and anal leakage about how the Celtics could, should and might move forward this season. One thing is certain – the Celtics lack a true point guard. There are multiple reports stating the Raptors [...]

Another game. Another loss. Who is to blame for such woes? The Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Chicago Bulls 95-83 on Monday night, continuing the free-fall for the “Purple and Gold.” At 17-24, they currently sit at 12th in the West, four games behind the Houston Rockets for the eighth seed. Not exactly what people expected [...]
