James Posey puts a dagger into the Spurs. Too bad he’s not a fantasy stud.
James Posey dropped a trey late in the 4th quarter to put the Hornets up 6 and they never looked back. Back in October, I said
This is the problem with the Lakers D
Here?s the problem with the Lakers D: I was trying to go out there and do what I was told. Every time I would do what they asked me to do, it seemed like it was the wrong thing at that time, the wrong choice. I?m just trying to figure it out and do what they [...]
Pierce should be nominated for best actor
In yet another delightful display of showmanship, Paul Pierce gave the Green World a scare by collapsing to the floor while clutching his knee. Replays showed a collision with the giant Mehmet Okur. But later on in the press conference, Pierce was seen walking without an icepack, knee brace, or ...

Bonzi Wells has signed a one year contract with the Shanxi Zhongyu of the Chinese Basketball Association, reports China View. The contract is rumored to be worth about $40,000. According to the club manager, Wells was waiting for an offer from a Spanish Club before he signed with them...
Team chemistry issues? I say chemical imbalance in Kerr's brain.
Critics and analysts are all saying Kerr finally made a savvy move, one that could possibly put the Suns back in the NBA discourse. I agree that Richardson will open up the court with his deft outside shot and athleticism, but what I'm failing to hear is that Kerr is absolutely...
Earn $161M in 7 years
This isn't related to basketball, but C.C. Sabathia just got a seven year, $161M contract from the New York Yankees. What the heck is going on? While the global economy is suffering from a credit freeze the Yanks just dropped a wad of cash on some fat pitcher! Sports GMs are out...
The latest from Superman's Twitter feed
This is the latest from Shaq's Twitter feed: If you have done less than what i have done, how can u comment on what more needs 2 happen I'll be a conspiracy theorist and take the jab that Shaq is talking about Amare in particular and the Suns team in general. If this is true, it [...]
LeBron making MVP look easy
My choice for this year's MVP was Kobe Bryant since I saw the Lakers poised to improve upon last season's success. Steve Nash was able to capture back to back MVP awards for being the best player on the best team, so I figured why not Kobe? However, so far this season, the...
The Lakers couldn't grab a board if Jerry Buss' life depended on it
The Lakers got drubbed by the Kings 113-101. One thing I've noticed about the Lakers is that in crunch time, they can't grab defensive boards. But the box score isn't so telling; the Kings out rebounded the Lakers by only 2, 45-43. However, in this loss as well as the one...
Derrickidiot
I saw Derrick Rose in a post game interview once in his senior year of high school. Reporter asked: "Derrick, did you guys just make a statement by beating the #1 team in the nation?" He responded, "Naw, we just tryin' ta play harda
Whose fault is it anyway?
Four NBA head coaches have already been fired this season and it's likely that there could be a few more before the season ends.A Coaches are usually fired because they don't produce enough wins.A A lot of times I feel like the coach is the scapegoat for the team's poor...
Shaq looks plump and Divac gets some rafter space
Is it just me or does Shaq look really plump in this video? If you can't make out the words, Shaq is free-styling about Vlade Divac, who is reportedly having his jersey retired on March 31, 2009. Vlade?! Vlade the flopper Divac?! The Kings must be really desperate because all I...
OJ Simpson finally goes to prison
How pitiful, a 61 year old half baked celebrity going to prison for armed robbery. USC fans should hang their heads in shame. Go Bears!
D-Rose breaks some ankles
Here is some nasty video footage of my ROY pick from way back in August. At this point, I think it's hard to put any other rookie ahead my man D-Rose.
Barkley calls out King James
Sir Charles chastised little LeBron for his recent PR blitz. Lately, King James has been feeding the media cow so much fodder it's about ready to be butchered. Problem is, we're not supposed to eat the cow until 2010. Sir Charles said, If I was LeBron James, I would shut the...
Caveman Kaman on the chopping block
I think Kaman will be on the chopping block any time soon because it's not economically logical to stash a $50M player on the bench. Too bad the Clips have slowly become the Knicks of the West by over paying players and loading up on redundant positions in an attempt to get "...
Happy Thanksgiving y'all
I am thankful that Artest is not an NBA commentator, although he brings some fresh insight.
Gilbert Arenas immortalized in wax
Gilbert Arenas continues to shock. He recently had himself immortalized in a wax figure at Madame Tussauds. This comes after painting a mural of Obama and Obama's family on a wall inside his house, getting Obama's campaign slogan tattooed on his fingers after claiming to be...
Lakers D and Derrick Rose
Here are two very well written articles about the development of the Lakers defense and rookie guard Derrick Rose (my ROY pick). Every Play Counts: "Last week, I projected 62 wins and the NBA's best record for the Los Angeles Lakers. Three games into the season, that already...
Sir Charles chucks 2 airballs
What's up with old basketball legends? Seems like they're getting beat by common folk. MJ just got beat by a fund manager and now Sir Charles gets beat by some dude.
LeBron gets booed
Apparently, LeBron got booed by his OWN fans in a game against the Bucks where he dribbled out the clock with 99 points on the scoreboard; 100 points would have meant a FREE chalupa from Taco Bell. LeBron retorted, I can't believe people who buy season tickets get worked up over a ga
