Lets all be honest here, its a fairly safe bet that most of us reading today have never watched a single NBA D-League game, nor do most NBA fans really care about the D-League.  Can you name more than three teams without the assistance of Wikipedia? How about a key player in the league? There [...]

During practice today, Paul Pierce was asked for his take on the Kobe Bryant/Dahntay Jones saga: (courtesy WEEI’s Mike Petraglia) I think it got blown out of proportion. He put his hands up, got into his defender but because of the fact it’s Kobe Bryant, it’s an issue. If it was somebody else, we probably [...]

As a Celtics fan, I hate Kobe Bryant for a lot of reasons.  But today, I really despise him…. because he said a lot of things that I really agree with. In an interview with Jackie MacMullan, Kobe talked about the Celtics, the rivalry, and Rajon Rondo. First, the topic du jour around Boston, the [...]

More trouble in Laker-land, courtesy the NY Daily News: Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant just can’t get along, and there’s a team in Brooklyn that might be waiting to pick up the pieces. A league source told the Daily News that the Lakers stars got into a heated exchange following a New Year’s Day loss to the [...]

This is kinda funny, but I just know Kobe despises Dwight Howard. It’s because he has the same demeanor on the court as he does on the team plane. Paint your face, clown. (h/t Hoops Hype) [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. The Sprite China 2nd Annual Charity Basketball game was a ton of fun. We played two 15 min halves with a running clock. I watched from the [...]

We’re all still digesting this whole Dwight Howard to LA thing.  Obviously, on paper, it looks like a pretty good move for them.  But you never know sometimes when you mix different personalities.  Greatly talented players can sometimes clash to a point where it affects them on the court.  And that might be the biggest [...]

This may ruffle a few feathers, many will call me un-American or some other crazy name, but I have grown to dislike this years version of Team USA. Why you ask? Hubris. Hubris is defined as an overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance. Let’s be honest, that pretty much defines 80% of this Team USA roster. [...]

As the end of this crazy, compressed regular season comes to a close; what may turn out to be the most exciting postseason in recent memory is set to begin. Both conferences have clear cut favorites but each with a handful of question marks and potential upsets awaiting them. Unlike previous seasons, we are hard [...]

(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer) Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “It’s all about confidence. Sometimes I would go into games thinking twice about shooting. Now, if I’m open, I’m open and I’ll shoot it.” [...]
