Last month I wrote about how I felt about the Bulls as contenders in the East when Derrick Rose finally returns to the line up. Early this week Rose dropped a bomb that spread throughout the media when he said he wouldn’t play until he’s 110% and that he’s isn’t close to returning. Many people [...]
Philadelphia 76ers center Andrew Bynum is looking less and less likely to make his end of February time-table. He has returned to the court; doing some cutting, running, and taking shots at various points on the floor, but has had to reduce the workouts because of some unexpected pain in his surgically repaired knee. The [...]
Don’t look now, but the Chicago Bulls victory over the Charlotte Bobcats Monday makes them the Eastern Conference’s Central division leader. That’s right, the same team that just needs to “tread water” until superstar point guard Derrick Rose can return from a torn ACL suffered last season in the first round of the playoffs; they [...]
The New Orleans Hornets have been on an absolute tear over their last ten games. They’ve won 7 out of their 10 on the way to a somewhat respectful 14-27 record. Alright, maybe it’s not that respectful, especially when you consider the fact they’re still in last place in their division. But think of where [...]
The Phoenix Suns have parted ways with head coach Alvin Gentry after the team posted its worst first-half record in over 25 years (13-28). The Suns released a report stating that the two sides have agreed to mutually part ways after 4 plus seasons as their coach. They’re expected to name an interim coach over [...]
The Los Angeles Clippers have ruled point guard Chris Paul out for Thursday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It marks the third consecutive game Paul has missed with a bruised right knee cap. It doesn’t come as a huge surprise that he has been held out because the Clippers have said they won’t let [...]
The Golden State Warriors have been a huge surprise this season starting off with a 23-14 record and sitting in second place in their division. One main reason for the success has been Stephen Curry‘s progression at the PG position and ability to stay healthy. Until now. Curry is out indefinitely with a right ankle [...]
According to USA Today, The Seattle group led by Microsoft chairman Steve Ballmer and hedge fund manager Chris Hansen (no not the To Catch a Predator Guy) are making significant progress in negotiations to buy the Sacramento Kings from the Maloof brothers. A person close to the situation says he is confident a deal will eventually [...]

Cleveland Caveliers C Anderson Varejao will need surgery for a torn leg muscle and will be sidelined for the next 6-8 weeks. Tonight’s game at home against the Atlanta Hawks will mark the 11th straight game Varejao has missed. At first he was listed as day-to-day but the “bruise” wasn’t healing, causing team Doctors to [...]
The Milwaukee Bucks agreed to part ways with head coach Scott Skiles Monday according to USA Today. According to Yahoo! Sports, Skiles was replaced him with veteran assistant Jim Boylan Tuesday. The move was made after NBA.com’s David Aldridge reported Monday that unless something drastic happened this season (final year of his 4-yr. contract), Skiles [...]
Despite DeMarcus Cousin’s rocky (to put it lightly) relationship over his 2 1/2 years with the Sacramento Kings, sources are saying there’s “no chance” he is traded before the deadline this season. Rumors of him being traded have been running rampant since he was suspended earlier in the season after getting into an altercation with Kings head coach [...]
