Brian McCormick noticed the same Packer head-scratching comments
that I did. Corey Brewer is a 7-footer?
Ailene Voisin has another column calling for Mussleman's
firing. Last year, she wanted Peja traded, but then
changed her mind. Then she wanted Adelman fired. Seriously, in a week last year, she went from writing that Corliss Williamson should get Peja's minutes to proclaiming that Peja should be the Kings' #1 option and Adelman should be fired. And, nobody said a word. Now, it seems like she
In 2006, I wrote an article titled "Potential
is a Dangerous Word as NBA Draft Approaches." Every
spring, the media and NBA General Managers fall for length, upside and potential. All-Stars like Gilbert Arenas and Carlos Boozer last to the second ...
It's not secret that the San Antonio Spurs
and Detroit Pistons maintain their elite status because of
their consistency, talent, hard work, effort and, of course, leadership from their management. I have been busy, so I never mentioned the Nazr ...
ESPN promoted the Detroit v. Chicago series as
a referendum on Ben Wallace. After two games (both
at home), Joe Dumars looks like a genius. However, I think the argument is different; it's not about Ben Wallace, but about NBA contracts in ...
Memphis guard Derrick Rose has clearly established himself
as one of the top two players in the
2008 NBA Draft, assuming he declares for the draft. The Memphis Grizzlies have established themselves as one of the worst teams in the NBA, giving them a ...
I expected the Hornets to be in the
play-offs this year, but I had no idea they
would be this good (partially because they are never on television). As I watched the game tonight, I realized that nobody mentions Jeff Bower among those who deserve the ...
I watched the New York Liberty play the
Connecticut Sun and am hurrying to get upstairs to
see the second half of the San Antonio Silverstars versus the Phoenix Mercury. I used to wish that ESPN would televise NBA Summer League games. Now, I am glad to watch the WNBA on television rather than the NBA Summer League. While the Summer League was disastrous yesterday, from what I saw ...
A couple quick thoughts from the Kings vs.
Rockets game: 1. Francisco Garcia is the smartest player
on the Kings and easily my favorite. As Houston was setting up for a lob dunk to Tracy McGrady, Garcia leapt from his seat on the bench, waving a ...
Eveyone is drinking the Nellie Juice. I admit,
I want to see Golden State win, mainly because
I'm tired of seeing Mark Cuban's mug on TV so much and I think Nellie was disrespected in Dallas, especially when "golden boy" Avery Johnson made the Finals ...
I am a big Deron Williams fan. I
am one of the few who, at the time,
believed Utah made the correct decision for its team when it drafted Williams over Chris Paul. Paul is a more exciting, better 1v1 player, but I love Williams consistency, size, ...
For the past two years, everyone has hailed
the Phoenix Suns as the most entertaining team in
the NBA. However, the enthusiasm and excitement overshadows the Suns' business practices which are becoming more and more questionable. Thus far this ...
John Denton in FLORIDA TODAY suggested that the
Orlando magic could be interested in Shareef Abdur-Rahim. Please,
please say it is so. Sure, the Kings need interior scoring, but Abdur-Rahim has proven not to be the answer since he was signed. Please, ...
Everyone assumes the Rockets will fall out of
the play-offs because they will not be able to
hold off the Warriors and the Nuggets. I do not understand why people expect so much from the Nuggets. Have you watched them play? The Denver vs. LA Clippers ...
It's the first quarter and the Spurs are
fouling Shaq. Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson have
no problem with it and call it good coaching. JVG said he does not understand why people want to legislate against bad skill. BTW, JVG and Mark Jackson are by ...
I have a hard time watching the Cavaliers
vs Celtics series, so some of my points may
be off, as I have not been able to sit through an entire game yet, as it is one of the most boring and poorly played series I remember. I watched UFC fights I had ...
How much does Mike D'Antoni wish he had
given the Chicago Bulls a chance to make an
official offer? While he's beating his head against the wall with Eddie Curry, Zach Randolph and Stephon Marbury, he could have been in Chicago with Derrick Rose as ...
Anyone think that the L.A. Clippers would have
traded the #7 pick and a future 1st Rounder
for Seattle's pick at #4 (as rumored on draft day) and selected UCLA's Kevin Love if the Clippers knew Brand could not be trusted? Baron Davis, Cuttino Mobley, ...
As the NBA rolls toward mid-season, trade winds
pick-up. First, it was the alledged Artest for Maggettee
deal which ultimately fizzled. Now, it's this trade which I saw on Hoops Hype : The best one sent my way over the weekend: a three-team...
When looking at the NBA teams with bad
records, many fans may see the Sacramento Kings as
out of place next to the New York Knicks, Charlotte Bobcats, Atlanta Hawks, Memphis Grizzlies, Philadelphia 76ers and others. The Kings feature respected...
