Boats tend to sink, so keep your eye on the Clippers

The Lakers started off 3-1, so they must be a playoff team. As of today
they're 4-6, and their postseason chances are dubious to say the least. Keep that in mind when thinking about the seemingly playoff-bound LA Clippers. Now, you're going to see a lot of people on TV try to rectify their
"mistake" of miscalculating the Clippers by saying they are indeed as good
as their record portrays. Do not listen to them, time will change and soon
so will their opinions. More

The Dissolution of Latrell Sprewell

It took awhile, but every NBA free agent eventually found his way to a team. Curry is with the Knicks, Allen is with the Sonics, Johnson is with the
Hawks, and free agency is pretty much over. Wait?I'm forgetting someone.
Hey, where's Latrell Sprewell? Yes, Minnesota's separation of Cassell and
Sprewell has gone so well that Sprewell isn't even in the NBA right now. In
fact, he might never come back. More

The New and Improved Ron Artest

        If you have wondered what exactly the new and improved Ron Artest is like, consider his latest move: posing on the December version of Penthouse Forum. Most athletes could pretty much get away with this (if it were Derek Jeter, his Q-rating would go up). Artest has a very troubled past and should've avoided the cover shoot if he had any sense. But Ron Artest and logic don't go together that well. More

The horrible Hall of Fame System of the NBA

When you have that bar discussion if Mitch Richmond or Robert Horry
belongs in the Hall-of-Fame, remember that answer is probably no. Several once sure-fire Famers aren't guaranteed anymore, not after Dominique Wilkins, 9-time all-star and former slam-dunk champ was skipped from the Hall last year. Gary Payton is in the same boat as Wilkins, and might not get into Springfield as quickly as he might have hoped. But why exactly did Wilkins get skipped? More

Yao Ming: a disappointment or a pleasant surprise?

     Considering the mass popularity he has and the pressure that comes from it, it is hard not to be impressed with the way he has performed. The expectations we expected from Yao were way too high; his stats were gargantuan when he played in the Chinese league. I guess people imagined what Shaq would be like if he was 7'6, and how Yao should have an advantage over everyone. More

Clippers 2005 Prediction

There are some things you just don't do in life. You don't watch a Steven
Seagal movie, you don't buy pills with an 'X' in the name, and you don't bet
on the Clippers to have a winning season. They picked up Mobley and Cassell,
so will this year be any different for the Clippers? More

Dress Code in the NBA

    You may not like Trading Spaces, but you're going to see a house
cleanup anyway if you're an NBA fan. Thanks to Ron Artest and Latrell
Sprewell, the NBA's reputation isn't perfect anymore, and David Stern is out
to change that. Starting last Thursday, NBA players will be fined if they
aren't wearing formal outfits during pregame. More

NBA Free Agents

        The biggest free agent left (literally) had been Bulls Center Eddy
Curry, who showed interest in the horribly ran Knicks and Hawks. Even though
Chicago has been dangling him like a fish for the good part of a year, he
was still a restricted free agent, and would've returned to the Bulls had he
been on friendlier terms with them. He's unrestricted next year, so will
other teams express interest him? More

What?s going on with Orlando Magic?

     The Orlando Magic sold out their home opener for the first time in 8 years. You'd think the Magic would have to be playoff-worthy to warrant that fact, but Orlando doesn't appear to be going anywhere. When they start having West Coast trips against contending West teams, the losses might start to pile up.  More

NBA CELEBITY HOT SEAT
                When you have that bar discussion if Mitch Richmond or Robert Horry belongs in the Hall-of-Fame, remember that answer is probably no.

Phoenix's title shot has burned to flames

                The Phoenix Suns went all the way to the Conference Finals last year when few of us considered the playoff worthy. But now this team is under whelming to say the least. With only Nash and Marion on the active roster from a year ago, the Las Vegas projected line of victories for Phoenix has crumbled to 43. That's barely enough wins to sneak into the #8 seed. What went wrong? More

Player?s Guide

To mix things up, I thought I could maybe do a thing where I say what I think is the best, worst and inbetween NBA game to watch. By best, I mean close. So some of my choices for Best game might be a little different, since a game like Knicks/Lakers has a good backstory, but it's still just 2 mediocre teams playing. More
