Can The Season Start Before We Think of 70+ Wins?
The NBA season is now just 15 days away. It's pre-season and while I love speculating about how teams will do, can't we just show a little constraint and not mention the Bulls historic 72 win season (or 70 wins period)?It's not like I don't want players to be confident...
I Can Feel Excitement in Toronto Again
Demar Derozan sticks a nasty put back dunk, Amir Johnson blocks a Nick Young dunk attempt and it's only October. I got my first taste of the 2009-10 Raptors squad in a game against the Wizards and I have to say I'm excited for their season. While I have some serious questions...

Bulls vs. Jazz: Very Solid Pre-Season Basketball
The Bulls and the Jazz played a pre-season game in London yesterday. Going in, I was expecting a solid, but sloppy game. When the game started and I found out that Derrick Rose was out, my expectations lowered. But, for a pre-season game, the execution on both sides was better than...
Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life
Today is the first day of official 2009-10 action. Sure it's the pre-season and it's not on TV, but hell, it's something. Two pretty damn good teams too. The Jazz, with D Will, Boozer and crew battling Denver with Melo and Chauncey. Just feels good to be talking about two...
Video: Gilbert Arenas and Dwayne Wade Workouts
NBA.com has been producing some great videos lately. I've always loved seeing how NBA players workout and they're giving us some good workout footage. I picked the two players in the title because they work with Tim Grover at Attack Athletics. He's doing great work with...
Delonte West: To Play or Not To Play?
Delonte West was charged with gun possession recently, but reports say he'll be in camp for the Cleveland Cavaliers. This surprised me. I thought the Cavs organization might not want him in camp yet, that they'd allow him to work on his personal issues.When I thought about...

NBA Crystal Ball: John Wall
With about as much going on in the NBA as there is in black hole, why don't we look at a player who's probably going to be the talk of next years draft? John Wall, a quick point guard who's playing for Kentucky this year is the guy. In what I've seen, he's got the...

Who Really Wants Stephen Jackson?
Stephen Jackson wants a trade. He's said he wants to go somewhere he can win a title. Sure, he may be a solid role player for a team trying to win a title--he's a 6'8, 31-year-old title winning scorer. Yet, when you think about it, the contenders are already stacked and...

Sorry For The Lack of Posts
I know I've been MIA of late. I've been sick, school started and it's the off-season. All of those are great non-blogging factors. But now I'm back and I'm going to keep this blog as up to date as possible.So, with that said, I'm back like MJ, but not like Brett Favre!
Two Basketball Documentaries To Look Forward To
In these dull days of the NBA off-season, we find ourselves looking for basketball related entertainment, but usually can't find a thing. Well, at least there's two upcoming basketball documentaries to wait for.Devin Green: The JourneyThis is actually already out. It is being...

Should Teams Stop Players From Representing Their Countries?
The Dallas Mavericks are one of many teams that have not allowed their players from playing for their respective countries this summer. Dirk Nowitzki wasn't allowed to represent Germany, while J.J. Barea wasn't allowed to play for Puerto Rico. This issue creeps up with teams...
Video: Steve Nash's Top Plays From 2008-09
Steve Nash is still a great point guard. Even though he's at the latter end of his career, he's still very exciting and entertaining. A great player and a great guy, he'll likely never win a title (as the Suns are currently looking). The world can be a cruel place.Anyway...

The Hornets Don't Want To Win
Marc Stein of ESPN is reporting that the Hornets dealt three point specialist Rasual Butler to the Clippers for a future second round pick. Of course, this deal clears about $8 million in salary, once you add in the luxury tax. But, despite the savings, I have to question what the...
