“The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported late Wednesday night that Wilkins was...”

– Dominique Wilkins Attacked by Hawks Fan There are some photos of the (possible) attacker. He may have been the victim depending on who you believe. Michel was an ex-ref, and in that same Atlantic Journal Constitution article he claims Wilkins attacked him. He’s got the bruised face to prove...

LeBron James says Derrick Rose deserves to lead... →

Rose is averaging 25 points, 7.9 assists and 4.2 rebounds for the Bulls (53-20), who entered Wednesday with a two-game lead over Boston and 2½ games ahead of Miami atop the East standings. James is averaging 26.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists for the Heat. He is also shooting a career-high 50.4 percent from the field this season. James believes his production is strong enough to...

“That was such a great feeling because I thought the first time we played them...”

– Anthony Parker, Cleveland Cavaliers On the support of the fans after the Cavaliers 102-90 victory over the Miami Heat (via thesecitywalls) I feel for Cleveland, I really do.

New Jersey Nets selling tickets for first season... →

Nets chief executive officer Brett Yormark said the team has offered current season-ticket holders the opportunity to buy its top ticket package, which is being called “All Access” season tickets. The offers were mailed recently. The packages will cover 4,000 club and courtside seats in the area. Yormark said that all of the top-of-the-line All Access seats have been sold. He...

“The Chicago Bulls Derrick Rose has been running rampant through the league in...”

– Kobe Bryant is making a push to challenge Derrick Rose’s MVP candidacy | Court Crusades A lot of commentators agree with Kobe’s surge for the MVP, and I wrote a piece in February calling for Amar[‘]e to be the first-half MVP (yea), but Rose should and will win. I merely pulled this...

Via Ball Junkie: On March 23rd, Melo’s wife, La La Vasquez-Anthony, stopped by NYC’s “The Breakfast Club” where the NY native gave listeners a glimpse into her life with her NBA ball paying husband. Lala also opened up about Carmelo’s alleged love child with another woman, the pressures of living in NY under media scrutiny, why she turned down and would never do Basketball Wives, Kim...

5 reasons why the Dallas Mavericks will win the... →

By no means am I a Dallas Mavericks fan. I’m just a hoops fan, and I really like what’s cooking in Dallas this season. Here are five reasons why I believe the Mavs will win the NBA championship this year. Please read, enjoy and drop a comment. 5). Coaching. Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle isn’t some bum off the street in charge of a great squad. Carlisle won a chip as a...

“At one point, the fans chanted “Sprewell’s better” when...”

– Sprewell takes the high road - NYPOST.com ‘Melo might have it rougher than ‘Bron does because I can already tell people in New York are starting to turn…watch out. New Yorkers aren’t Miami fans. We play/watch/live basketball, and if ‘Melo continues to lose (and...

Games Notes 3/16/2011

Gonna try to do these at least 3 times a week: Denver Nuggets 102 Atlanta Hawks 87 Nene led the Nuggets past a hot Hawks team (but only in the 4th) with 20 points as the Nuggets continue to thrive post Melo (9-2). Indiana Pacers 80 Boston Celtics 92 Looks like Jeff Green finally has Celtic’s fans forgetting about their lovable giant Perk.’ He dropped 16 of his 19 in the 4th...

General Thoughts on the Knicks (from the...

realkingfish: This is a rough stretch. Since adding Melo, the Knicks are 6-6. Making matters seem more dire, Denver is 8-2 since our boys arrived. How bad is it? Maybe not as bad as it feels. The Knicks, done with the rush of adrenaline that came with the deal are struggling to gel, especially with Chauncey being out for a week and then returning. That’s understandable. I feel that part of the...

– SPORTSbyBROOKS » Grant Hill To Hit Back At Jimmy King In NY Times More fallout from the doc.

“It’s ridiculous for Webber to insinuate that Coach K feared the Fab Five were...”

– Jason Whitlock Posted without comment Whitlock: Fab Five film more fantasy than documentary - College Basketball News | FOX Sports on MSN (via ballershots) I’m not gonna comment either.

“• “Carmelo Anthony is an indifferent rebounder and defender, multiple...”

– Frei: Carmelo Anthony is just not that good - The Denver Post I don’t want to call him a bitter white guy, but he sounds like a bitter white guy. Unfortunately, one of those assessments (defense) is more accurate than the casual Knick [bandwagon] fan knows.

““These guys care. They care a lot, actually. Yes, they care what people think....”

– Rod Benson, on crying in basketball. One more time, for emphasis: “…But when I see tears in their eyes, I get the idea that the fun and games are over, and maybe they’re poised to turn things around after this setback. Heck, maybe they won’t, but I’ll never again question how much they care.” (via...

“I think it’s good to cry. I think it’s good to let things out. In my psychology...”

nbaoffseason: Sports geek convention today & tomorrow(3/4 & 3/5). For example, at 1:15ET/10:15PT is a discussion titled, “The Decision: How Players and Teams Will Choose in the Future”, which is certainly an NBA centric topic. Its being moderated by Michael Wilbon & one of the panelists is R.C. Buford of the Spurs. (Winston Wolfe) This is important, but I think it should be...

Toronto Raptors Non-Fans Non-Explained →

Toronto Raptors (16-42) I have a lot of friends from Toronto. They all have glasses, sport short hair and smile a lot. They read books and are constantly out and about. And yet they couldn’t name three Raptors, the head coach or the GM. I can’t say that I blame them, either. The Raptors have only two players on their roster that average over 15 points per game (Andrea Bargnani and DeMar...
