Sportsline.com has come out with its list of the top 20 NBA Small Forwards. Guess which player is number 1?

ESPN's basketball analysts vote on 14 cities in North America and Europe that the Association could expand into by 2018. I show them why they're all wrong.

On today’s show, Tas and I discuss the Suns’ odd decision to rest Shaq vs. the Nuggets, Delonte West’s fractured wrist and the Bulls’ dangerous Hinrich-Rose backcourt. We also fire up the DeLorean to hand out some rings, pick the worst arena/home crowd in the NBA and announce the latest “Wanker ...

It's official everyone...game one of the Eastern Conference Finals starts today. This has been one amazing year for us. We made it through the regular season and finished with the best record in the league. We've made it through two rounds of the playoffs, and it feels great. All we have to do now is stay focused on the prize and win. The Cleveland series was a tough...

With the additions of J.J. Hickson, Mo Williams, Tarence Kinsey and the recent re-signing of Delonte West, the Cleveland Cavaliers are now 15-players deep. Unfortunately, this means the end of two of last season's 15, Lance Allred and Billy Thomas...

It's a big month for basketball book coverage on The Painted Area, as we've already previewed David Falk's new book The Bald Truth and reviewed Seth Davis's new book When March Went Mad, on the Bird-Magic 1979 NCAA Championship game.Last fall, we offered a preview of basketball books for '08-09 in general, and we've picked up a few odds & ends that we...

Delonte West fractured his right wrist, and Matt Moore hit me up on gchat: "This is really big. This changes the Cavs. A lot."I'm willing to go a step further: this changes everything.

As the Cavaliers were welcoming Ben Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, Joe Smith and Delonte West, they were forced to say goodbye to Daniel Gibson for 4-to-6 weeks. An MRI revealed a severely sprained ankle for Gibson, who was hurt against the Indiana Pacers. Gibson, who has been a decent fantasy basketball...

Since last season, I have always suggested that the Cavs would do well to acquire the services of Ron Artest. My thoughts on the subject were that he plays some of the toughest defense in the NBA this side of Bruce Bowen, and he has the ability to score and rebound better than probably anyone else on the Cleveland roster that doesn't have the first name of LeBron. My problem...

Dwight Howard recorded a double-double, with a team high 22 points and a game high 18 boards, while Hedo Turkoglu was also credited with a double-double, 19 points, and 11 rebounds, as the Orlando Magic defeated the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday 99-88. Cavaliers All-Star forward LeBron James led all players with 23 points, but Cleveland playing without starting center Zydrunas...

With the NBA trade deadline in the rearview mirror I thought I would grade the flurry of additions to each team involved. Cleveland-Chicago-Seattle Cavaliers get: Ben Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, Delonte West, Joe Smith, future Chicago second-round pick Bulls get: Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Shannon Br...
