Philadelphia 76ers looking to recover from one of worst trades in NBA history
The Philadelphia 76ers rolled the dice last off-season by giving up several quality assets for Andrew Bynum who missed the entire year due to injury. With Bynum a free agent this summer, the Sixers enter a critical summer in which they must make up for last off-season’s botched deal.

This Looks Like A Strange AOL Commercial
Phil Jackson joined twitter with a bang, when he Tweeted a bunch of jibberish about his 11 rings and most people were like, “This is going to be a joke about how it’s hard to type with 11 rings on” and sure enough, those people were right. But the joke was clever enough, and the Zen Master has gone on to Tweeting whatever he feels like, including this fun nugget from last night...

There is Moore opportunity in Orlando!

Buy Moe, Hark Less
Moe Harkless struck the Thunder for a career high 25 points last night and the rookie added 9 rebounds, 4 steals, 4 blocks and hit 3 threes. I’ve been pushing Moe for a while now, so this performance was a long time coming. Maurice is averaging a mediocre 10.7 pts and 5.4 rebounds over the past two weeks, but what really raises my fantasy eyebrow is the 3 steals a game. Do you...

NEW YORK -- After losing two straight on the road to Memphis and Houston, and playing lackluster defense in both games, the Brooklyn Nets went back to basics Monday night at home against the Orlando Magic. "We dropped two straight and needed a win," said Deron Williams, who had 20 points and nine assists in the Nets' 97-77 win over the Magic on Monday night at the...
Arron Afflalo out Monday with strained calf
Arron Afflalo won't play Monday after straining his calf on Sunday. The Orlando Magic shooting guard played 26 minutes before leaving Sunday's game.
Magic beat writer Joshua Robbins reported that Afflalo would sit. The Magic have activated Hedo Turkoglu. Moe Harkless will get the start. The guy that I like here is E'Twaun Moore, who scored 18 points in 29 minutes on...

The day is quickly progressing from late afternoon to early evening, so let’s just knock these two posters out before tonight’s games begin, shall we? Alright!

POTD 12/26/12: Moe Harkless on Robin Lopez
It came down to Ed Davis and Moe Harkless on the day after Christmas. Being that one dunk wasn’t significantly better than the other, I elected to leave the decision up to my friends from the InsideHoops forums. In this particular instance, only a smattering of people showed up at the polls… but those who did vote selected Harkless in a unanimous decision. I happen to agree...

POTD 12/2/12: Ron Artest on Moe Harkless
The Lakers may have suffered a devastating, humiliating, humbling defeat at the hands of the lowly Orlando Magic on Sunday, but Ron Artest actually had himself quite the offensive outing. World Peace scored 15 points, made the 1,000th three-pointer of his career, and got the Lakers off the schneid with this driving slam dunk over a much younger and slightly taller Moe Harkless…...

Nikola Pekovic And The End Of Moe Harkless
As awesome as Nikola Pekovic is (and make no mistake about it, he’s the best thing since sliced bread), it isn’t often that he makes his presence felt above the rim. Pekovic’s colossal frame, which is rumored to be composed of mostly solid rock, doesn’t really lend itself to a high-flying style of play. He does the vast majority of his damage directly underneath the basket...
