Cavs basketball is respectable this year. After going 19-63 last season, an 8-12 start this year is an improvement. More important than their record, the culture around this team shows a world of difference. Guys care more, fight more and there's more talent and experience on the team. Rookie Kyrie Erving has definitely been part of this change. What may go under the radar is...

NBA Store: Newfound Glory

The new NBA Store opened on fifth avenue earlier this year. I'd been to the old NBA store. It was awesome, large and full of NBA wonder, from the past and present.

Flip Saunders Fired

Flip Saunders has been fired, per Woj. Someone had to be held accountable in Washington (as I said before). After going 2-15, the Wizards decided enough was enough. High five for them! Eventually, something needed to happen. While losing is how teams grow and mature, taking such beatings is just disgraceful.
