7 Keys To Understanding The Celtics Championship Hopes
2008-05-05 18:24:30
Boston closed out the Hawks yesterday in a game heralded by the media as “potentially the biggest upset in history.” While the Hawks definitely gave Boston a scare, the series was never that close. Boston outplayed Atlanta in every game - except for a few fourth quarters. Based on that experience, here’s what we now [...] ...

Nuggets First 50 Win Team To Be Swept In First Round
2008-04-29 08:13:58
The Denver Nuggets have the honor of being the only 50 win team in the history of the NBA to be swept in the first round of the playoffs. Here’s what went wrong:
> Bad defensive habits.
The much-maligned Nuggets defense improved in the last year, but not enough to overcome their chronic lack of focus. [...] ...

Mike Bibby Is Right - Most NBA Fans Suck (Except in NY and LA)
2008-04-23 21:00:51
Mike Bibby recently said that Boston’s fans are “bandwagon jumpers…I played here [in Boston] last year and I didn’t see most of them.” Talk about honest - most of Boston’s current fans weren’t planning on attending games, cheering their team on, or wearing any jerseys until KG and Ray Allen came to town. But Mike [...] ...

The Nuggets Don’t Deserve To Make Playoffs
2008-04-06 21:47:11
I’m a baaaad Nuggets fan. I don’t focus on the things they do well - transition offense, creating turnovers, their ever-improving inside-out game, their ability to play through injuries, or the fact that on any given night they can beat any team in the NBA. Instead, I focus on the fact the Nuggets are lazy [...] ...

Sam Cassell Want’s Money To Quit His Job.

Discussion of Sam Cassell's buyout demands in the face of his desire to quit his team. Sam's leaving the Clippers because they're not very good, yet he expects payment to do so. What gives? ...

Will Memphis Trade Mike Miller Away Next?
2008-02-02 03:01:12
Now that the Memphis Grizzlies have shipped out Pau Gasol for a rookie, an expiring contract, and two draft picks, it’s pretty clear that Memphis is all about dumping salary…which brings us to Mike Miller.
Over-sized, over-paid and under-publicized, Mike Miller is a league-leading 3pt shooter that can pass a little and pull down a rebound [...] ...

Please, Trade Kidd To The Knicks
2008-01-28 07:53:09
It’s been said that Jason Kidd recently requested a trade through his agent, adding to the wild trade rumors that get NBA fans so excited every winter. I’ve spent the last couple of hours trying to figure out where Kidd would, could, or should go, and I’ve drawn a big zero. Unless it’s a three [...] ...

Minnesota: Trade Jaric and Craig Smith To Denver
2008-01-18 20:47:04
Minnesota doesn’t need Marko Jaric (but Adriana Lima does). His contract is expensive ($25 million left including this season). By the time the rest of the T-wolves hit their stride, Jaric (currently 29) is going to be too old to be of any use. Finally, Jaric’s not really known as a locker-room leader. He just [...] ...

Does Shaq Make Sense In Dallas?
2008-01-08 22:27:38
If you watched Dallas in last year’s playoffs, you know they needed a post player - bad. Dampier (who wasn’t available when Dallas was upset last year by Golden State) is really the Mav’s best post option right now, but he’s still coming back from injury…and let’s face it, Dampier’s not exactly a dominating presence.

What’s Wrong Phoenix?
2008-01-04 16:08:55
Phoenix keeps winning games, but something is different this year. Nash and Amare look great, and Grant Hill looks better than he has in 10 years, but something is still wrong. They’re not the team they were last year.
Part of the problem might be the “been there, done that†feel the regular season must have [...] ...

Celtics “Weak Schedule†Talk Is All Wrong
2008-01-02 15:48:29
Enough with the “weak schedule” talk. It’s just the easy way out for crap basketball analysts who haven’t taken the time to watch the Celtics and break down their strengths and weaknesses.
The Celtics have absolutely crushed most every team they have faced. They have played every good team in the east including Orlando and Cleveland [...] ...

Celtics Naysayers VINDICATED!
2007-12-20 04:14:47
I hope everyone in Boston watched the fourth quarter of tonight’s Celtics-Pistons game, because it perfectly highlighted everything that’s wrong with the Celtics.
1) Rajon Rondo is the weakest link. Sure, he had a good game stats wise, but how badly was he abused by Chauncey Billups? Don’t get me wrong, in two or three years [...] ...

The Nuggets Are About To Get A Whole Lot Better
2007-12-19 23:07:42
The Nuggets, in the words of the Nugg Doctor, have a lot to look forward to. Nene is getting ready to return, Chucky Atkins is coming back, and with the return of these two players (along with Steven Hunter) the Nuggets will have a healthy squad once again. With Nene’s return, the Nuggets have a [...] ...

10 Most Likely NBA Stars To Be Traded (Starting Tomorrow)
2007-12-14 17:21:53
As we all know, December 15th is an important date as far as making an NBA trade is concerned. By rule, it’s the first day that free agents signed during the summer can be traded. Typically, this flexibility opens up a lot of trade possibilities and triggers some shuffling. So, without further delay, here’s my [...] ...

How Pat Riley Damaged Varejao’s Cavs Contract Negotiations
2007-12-10 19:50:51
OK — first, let me say this is a totally unsubstantiated conspiracy theory and that it has very little basis in fact.
But considering how smart Riley is, and his predisposition to Machiavellian behavior, it seems likely that he would interfere in a conference rival’s free-agent negotiations if he thought it would help his team.
Here’s how [...] ...

The Celtics Big Three On Track To Fail
2007-11-26 00:18:03
Friday, November 2nd. The Celtics destroyed the Wizards 103 - 83. The game was over by halftime.
Wednesday, November 7th. The Celtics wrecked the Nuggets 119 - 93. Nuggets coach George Karl and superstar Allen Iverson both said it was one of the worst beatings they suffered in their careers.
Friday, November 9th. The Celtics blasted the [...] ...

Denver Should Trade Nene For Ron Artest
2007-11-09 06:07:42
With the Nuggets Nene out for at least the next 6 weeks, it might be time to consider making a trade. It’s no secret that Denver shopped Marcus Camby during the off-season, hoping to find a younger player that could replace Camby and also get Denver out of the luxury tax. Denver’s urge to avoid [...] ...

Enver Nuggets Need “D” - More Beatings To Come?
2007-11-08 20:13:06
Almost two months ago, I said that the Nuggets weren’t a championship squad. I said they’re biggest failings were terrible defense and a lack of three point shooting. Here we are five games into the season, and here’s what I can tell you about Denver:
1. This team needs a point guard. This isn’t really a [...] ...

The New Celtics: Who Are These Guys?
2007-11-08 18:51:30
It’s been weird watching the Celtics throughout the pre-season and the first couple games of the year. For those of us who have followed the Celtics the last few years, it almost doesn’t feel like we’re watching our own team. It is more than just the additions of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. The team [...] ...

Detroit Trade Talk Sign That JR Smith Is Killing His Career
2007-10-20 23:40:55
If you’re an NBA player in a contract year, the last thing you want to be described as is a “malcontent.” Unfortunately for JR Smith, that’s exactly what’s happening. Smith’s current team, the Denver Nuggets, have begun to seek a trade to unload Smith, who was quoted earlier this week as saying that he’s “not [...] ...

NoBloodNoFoul Playoff Predictions - Eastern Conference

I’m putting my basketball analysis cred on the line and boldly predicting how the eastern conference playoff picture will look in about 6 months. While I’m nearly 100% confident in my picks for the west, I’m not entirely sure about any of these teams. With the exception of Detroit and Chicago, every other team on [...] ...

ODENwokandi? OlowODEN? The Similarites Are Scary.
2007-09-13 07:09:48
Around NBA draft time, circa 1998, Michael Olowokandi “The Kandi Man” was often described as a “supremely gifted athlete in a 7 footer’s body”. Fast forward nearly 10 years to NBA draft time 2007, and you hear Steve Kerr describe Greg Oden as a “once-in-a-decade player.” Today, Greg Oden is scheduled to undergo exploratory surgery. [...] ...

Tony Allen Is Crucial To Celtics Championship Hopes
2007-09-10 16:59:50
This time last year I had very little hope for Tony Allen. Allen had showed very little in his first two seasons. Going into his third NBA season, I saw Allen as an athletic swing man who couldn’t shoot and made horrible decisions. Out of all the Celtics’ young players at the time, I [...] ...

The Kings STOLE Kevin Martin

Last week, Kevin Martin signed a five year contract with the Kings for a total of $55 million. While a lot of arm-chair GM’s have declared this contract to be too much, take a look at the facts:
Kevin Martin was in the top 10 of NBA shooting guards in the following categories: Steals, free-throws attempted [...] ...

Kobe Will Holdout Next February

May 30th. June 17th. August 20th. Three different days, but the same message. “Trade me.” As if that weren’t enough to convince all the Laker faithful that the end of the Kobe Bryant era is near, let me explain what’s going to happen if the Lakers DON’T trade Kobe soon:
Kobe will be sitting out the [...] ...
