Video: Jermaine O'Neal goaltends Rockets' missed game-winning shot, then gets trashed on Twitter
With the Houston Rockets-Phoenix Suns game tied at 98 on Tuesday night, James Harden took a three point shot that missed. The announcers thought the game was going into overtime, but upon review, Jermaine O'Neal was called for goaltending. The win helped Houston secure a playoff berth.
This play will probably make this week's Sportscenter Not Top 10. As if it wasn't...
Rockets win on Jermaine O'Neal's goaltending at the buzzer (Video)

With the score tied at 98, Rockets guard James Harden took a 3-point shot from 25 feet away. The ball bounced off the rim and straight up in the air, but as it came...
Throwback role fits for Suns veteran O'Neal
PHOENIX On a Saturday night featuring two NBA teams modeling throwback-style work clothes, the most compelling reminder of the visiting teams history was the presence of Jermaine ONeal.
Now employed as backup center by the Phoenix Suns, ONeal made his pro basketball bones with his low-post roughhousing for the Indiana Pacers.
It seems like its been 10 years since I played there...

Jermaine O'Neal exchanges heated words with Suns GM
The Phoenix Suns kick off a new era tonight in Sacramento. The struggling 13-28 team fired head coach Alvin Gentry and will be going with interim coach Lindsey Hunter for the rest of the season.
After Hunter’s first practice on Monday, veteran big man Jermaine O’Neal reportedly got into a very heated argument with General Manager Lance Blanks. O’Neal has only played in...

Jermaine O'Neal gets ball stuck on the rim (Video)
Now here's something you don't see every day: Phoenix Suns center Jermaine O'Neal put his shot up - and it never came down.
The ball came to rest on the back of the rim, causing a stoppage of play and resulting in a jump ball, during the second quarter of Tuesday night's NBA game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Would be curious as to what the odds are of that...
Marcin Gortat brainwashed by Jermaine O'Neal, calls him "true leader"
For all the posts we've had up about Marcin Gortat and a potential trade to the Celtics, perhaps we should reconsider this.
Mainly because he is possibly on drugs or has been brainwashed by Jermaine O'Neal in another ploy to squeeze money from a franchise.
AZ Central:
Gortat would not mind negotiating on behalf of his backup center, Jermaine O’Neal. He said he told Suns...
Some good, some bad found in Suns' overhaul
The frequently co-opted philosophies of basketball sage John Wooden include his recommendation to avoid confusing activity for achievement.
That drags us directly over to the Phoenix Suns, whose big thinkers were extremely active last summer. But staying busy truly made sense for a franchise that had missed the playoffs in two consecutive seasons despite having a veteran roster...

Suns bench comes up big in comeback win
PHOENIX -- Alvin Gentrys lineup purge appears to be the shift that keeps on giving.
But the new-and-improved Suns starting lineup may have settled for a one-night honeymoon. Thanks to some uninspired play against the Hornets on Black Friday night, the new-and-improved (for now, at least) second unit was required to step in and lead a crucial rally.
In what became a 111-108 overtime...

Remade Suns will answer to new leaders
PHOENIX Starring at two crucial on-court vacancies, the Phoenix Suns unleashed their newly established cap space on Goran Dragic and Michael Beasley.
These two additions were quite prominent during Mondays Media Day, bouncing between seasonably-redundant interviews and formula photo ops. So, with Dragic and Beasley in uniform, Suns fans are pretty clear on which players will be...
Sources say Heat could target Ray Allen, Jermaine O'Neal
Alex Kennedy, Hoops World
Steve Nash, Chris Kaman, Grant Hill, Andre Miller, Ray Allen and Jermaine O’Neal are among the players who Miami could target with their mini mid-level exception, according to sources close to the situation. Those players can likely make more money elsewhere, but may be willing to take less to join the HEAT.The Heat aren't going to waste their MLE...

There doesn't seem to be...
Things don't sound great with Jermaine O'Neal
Gary Washburn, Boston Globe:
When asked if his season would be over if he had surgery, O’Neal said, “It will be close. It’s a couple of different type of surgeries I could have. The issue I’m running into now is I’m 33 years old and I have a little boy and a little girl, and I went to pick my son up, and I couldn’t pick him up.
“We saw some changes in the MRI that...

Rajon Rondo out, Jermaine O'Neal to return tonight
The news seems to be getting better on the injury front for the Celtics. The return of Jermaine O'Neal means that the Celtics are no longer required to go to their small lineup whenever Kevin Garnett needs a rest and that Brandon Bass can return to his role as the spark plug off the bench.
Also according to Blakely, Doc Rivers believes that Rondo "may play tomorrow...
Celtics burned by Thunder's late-game shooting, lose 97-88
It took the return of Kendrick Perkins and an obligatory standing ovation from the Garden faithful for the Boston Celtics to put forth their most inspiring performance of the season. And they still lost by nine points at home.
Granted, it was an Oklahoma City team that is absolutely on fire and has the best scorer on the planet suiting up for them. But Kevin Durant wasn't...
Celtics earn first win of the season in convincing fashion
Well, that's more like it.
It was just like the old days. The Garden doors opened for the 18,624 Celtics faithful. Paul Pierce strutted towards his fellow starters to close out Eddie Paladino's announcement of the lineups. The Celtics came out and played the type of defense that they've been known for since Kevin Garnett landed in Boston over four years ago. They left...
Celtics searching for answers
There's only so much we can blame on the injury to Paul Pierce.
You can make the case that Pierce's absence hurt the Celtics against New York, especially when you look at the discrepancy between Carmelo Anthony and the immortal Sasha Pavlovic. The case could also be made for the Miami loss on Tuesday night as Sasha and Marquis Daniels had loads of trouble handling LeBron...
Celtics look to spoil Miami's home opener
It was going to be difficult with a full, healthy lineup. Adding a starting Sasha Pavlovic to the equation doesn't help matters at all.
The Celtics, coming off their Joey Crawford-aided loss to the Knicks on Christmas, get the joy of following that up with a trip to South Beach to help the Miami Heat open up their home schedule. Miami's coming off a blowout win in Dallas...
