Way Too Early Rankings: Top 100 For 2013-2014
I’ve got to say, growing up a huge Charlotte Hornets fan, I am going to finally have a favorite team again next year. I mean, the Bobcats is such a horrific name for a professional sports team that it actually made me not cheer for them. If they follow my logic – citizens of New Orleans, I’m sorry, you’re no longer cheering for your NBA team.
If you missed it the other...
Cleveland Cavaliers WIn the NBA Lottery
For the second time in three season, the Cleveland Cavaliers will select #1 in the NBA Draft. Cleveland had a 15.6% chance of winning the lottery and did so, beating out the Orland Magic who had a 25% chance, and ended up with the second pick. The Washington Wizards had just a 3.5% chance and ended up with the third pick.The NBA Draft is always fun to mess around with especially...
The Razzball Basketball Glossary
I’m nothing if not unique. I think that was on Dennis Rodman’s tombstone. What? He’s still alive? Kim-Jong Un didn’t secretly get annoyed by him and send a hit squad?
Since taking over the rundowns and general Razzball Basketball reigns, I have been thrusting my new terms into the void that is the lack of new Razzball catch phrases for the basketball side. Have...
Mocking the NBA Lottery - Post Combine Day 1
Stock on the Rise: Rudy GobertStock on the Decline: Shabazz MuhammadMake sure you follow @DraftExpress on twitter for live updates from Day 2:Dennis Schroeder from Germany and Giannis Antetokounmpo from Greece (Nigerian decent) both apparently have 1st Round promises. Which team in the middle of the draft needs Schroeder to play point and which team at the bottom of the draft...
Way Too Early Rankings: Top 50 For 2013-2014
As we continue to navigate through the NBA Playoffs, it’s been a fun challenge to rank for the 2013-2014 season. There’s still free agency. There’s still a draft. Hey, at least we know there will be a season unlike 2011!
If you missed it, my top 10 then top 20 came out last week. Hey, it’s early, you might say “way too early” (see what I did there, it’s in the...
With the 1st Pick in the 2013 NBA Draft...
Each year there is usually 1 or 2 players that nearly guaranteed to be the #1 and #2 overall picks of the NBA draft. Last year the prize jewel was Anthony Davis with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist the consolation pirze. In the 2013 NBA draft, things could go any of 3 ways in my eyes. As it stands, the Orlando Magic and Charlotte Bobcats have the most ping pong balls. But both teams...
Amar’e Stoudemire Recovering Well, Probable For Game 3 For Knicks
New York Knicks big man Amar’e Stoudemire who is recovering from knee surgery looks to be probable for a Game 3 showdown against the Indiana Pacers this weekend. While no decision has been officially made, he is progressing well in practice and it would be more of a shocker if he didn’t play the game.

LeBron James Leads Miami Heat Over Chicago Bulls 115-78
LeBron James came out aggressive Wednesday night and didn’t look back, helping the Miami Heat make minced meat of the Chicago Bulls 115-78. James, dominating as always, finished with 19 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, all on 7-of-12 shooting from the floor.
This victory marked the biggest point margin that the organization has ever won by in their short existence. The...
Klay Thompson Comes Up Big For Golden State Warriors
Klay Thompson had a night that he will tell his grand children about as he dominated the floor Wednesday while helping the Golden State Warriors take the game from the San Antonio Spurs. Going for a career-high 34 points, 24 off of 3-pointers, 14 rebounds, a block and 3 steals, Thompson led the pack to a 100-91 win. The series is now tied 1-1 with the next game at Oracle Arena on...

The Chicago Bulls will be missing two important pieces to their rotation Wednesday night as both Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich will be sidelined. Deng is still suffering from a horrible illness where as Hinrich is suffering from a calf injury. Also missing is star Derrick Rose.

Los Angeles Lakers Forward Pau Gasol To Undergo Procedure
After suffering knee pain during the season, Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol has decided to undergo a procedure Thursday to get rid of all of his scar tissue buildup that he has in both of his knees. This is supposed to be a relatively simple procedure and shouldn’t set him back for the 2013/14 season.

Way Too Early Rankings: Top Ten For 2013-2014
Ah the fantasy basketball offseason. It’s a magical time where the weather gets nicer, people get out of the arenas (unless their team is still in the playoffs) and start playing outdoor sports. Pshhh playing outside. Overrated (sponsored comment by Monsanto).
While the NBA Playoffs enter their second round, there are still the huge events of free agency and the NBA Draft...
Luol Deng Officially Ruled OUT for the Bulls Monday Night
Forward Luol Deng had been listed as day-to-day while dealing with an illness but is likely to be ruled OUT for Monday’s game in Miami. A serious blow to the Bulls that just won a grueling first round playoff series against the Nets, Deng will hopefully be ready to go for game two. The two players likely to see extended minutes will be Jimmy Butler and Marco Belinelli.
While he...
Mocking the NBA Lottery
The NBA lottery is always fun to mess around with especially when your favorite team could potentially steal that #1 overall pick! This year the draft is loaded with big guys, kind of like the NFL draft, while sprinkling in some very talented guards and forwards. The following draft order is based on lottery odds and the draft selections are based on team needs. Let us know if you...
Bobcats Ask Permission to Speak With Rocket’s Assistant Kelvin Sampson
The Charlotte Bobcats and Michael Jordan are interviewing candidates for their head coaching position. It turns out that they have asked permission to speak with former Indiana Hoosier coach Kelvin Sampson. And I guess, while they have asked permission, Kelvin isn’t likely to land in Charlotte because he’s being lobbied for better openings across the league.
What?
Are you serious...
Golden State Nuggets May Start Corey Brewer Tuesday
It is being rumored that the Golden State Nuggets could start swingman Corey Brewer at shooting guard for this win or go home Game 5. While he adds extra punch to the starting-five, it would severely weaken the Nuggets reserve bench and would put them at a disadvantage if the game became high-octane.

Los Angeles Lakers Forward Antawn Jamison Has Surgery
Today Antawn Jamison had successful surgery on his wrist. While he will play next year, don’t expect it to be in the Lakers purple and gold. Rumor has it that Jamison has purposely missed a handful of attempts by Lakers management to hold an exit interview. An exit interview for those that don’t know, is the interview between the player and organization after a season is done...
Miami Heat Guard Dwyane Wade Day-To-Day
Bad news if you are a Miami Heat fan or if you have Wade in your fantasy basketball playoff league, but Dwyane Wade is listed as day-to-day with a bum knee. The rest between rounds helped some, but he very well could be a game-time-decision for Game 1 in the second round. Stay tuned to FFLockerRoom as we will fill you in as the game approaches.

Indiana Pacers Promote Ian Mahinmi To Backup Center
The Indiana Pacers have given the backup center duties back to Ian Mahinmi due to the importance of defense in the playoffs. If he falters, expect Jeff Pendergraph to re-assume the duties.

Washington Wizards Jason Collins Unlikely To Return
Don’t get ahead of yourself people, Jason Collins coming out sexually is not the reason, but it is unlikely due to the depth of their big men on the bench that Collins will return for the 2013 season. He would be a solid backup big man for a team needing some bench depth at that position, but his playing days were already coming to a close before the big news. It wouldn’t be...
