This can only be a good thing. I truly mean that. I'm not so sure why officials and diehard fans alike have qualms about the expanded use of video replay (i.e. the early backlash against its use in baseball), but for the proposed uses it can only be awesome. I'm not quite sure what Moore's ...

You know what they say, a picture is
worth a thousand promotional ads, program covers, newspaper spots,
and posters. Never is that adage more applicable than on NBA Media Day, a veritable gold mine of pictures to bask in. So enjoy, fellow fans! (You know the drill, these pictures aren't mine. ...

Media Day came and went, and Josh Howard
didn't make a complete fool of himself. Shocked? Maybe
you shouldn't be. I've probably worn this out by now, but it looks as though Howard has turned a new leaf. From Tim McMahon (via Ballerblogger ): "I'd like to state that I truly ...

The Thunder had their official uniform unveiling yesterday,
and...I'm actually kind of impressed. Yes, the jerseys look
like some weird crossover between the Knicks, Warriors, and Hornets, but it kinda works. (Photos via BDL via News 9 ) The away jersey just screams Hornets to me, maybe in an ...

Jason Williams, despite signing a contract with the Clippers earlier this summer, is retiring . Williams has always been an incredibly interesting player to me, and the transformation that took place over his career was truly amazing. Still, most of us have seen this coming ever since 2006, as' ...

Reasonable , optimistic , or overconfident . Ah, how I do love internal pre-season predictions! (But really, Melo? 60 games? This Nuggets team is the best one yet?) Between Shaq and Dirk , I never want to read one of these "____ possibly announces potential tentative date of ...

During training camp and the pre-season, coaches and
GMs throw all kinds of stuff against the press
wall to see what sticks: bizarre rumors, hints at a rotation that will never be, and supposed insight into a gameplan that is miles away from the truth. I'm hoping that's what Jim O'Brien is ...

The West is best, but the East is
getting stronger. They're a force to be reckoned with.
They have all the new powerhouses. Talented big men are moving East. Blahdy blahdy blah. We've heard it all before, and we never pay any attention. Post-Jordan, the NBA championship has largely been ...

As a basketballer myself, I'm incredibly excited about these shoes . I usually ride a pair until they die, but I may have to make a special exception for those bad boys. This has been everywhere already, but Bosh v. Baron may be the clash of the titans we've all been waiting for this ...
