The Atlanta Hawks are standing at 23-16, which is currently good enough to have them sitting with the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. While they have certainly had stretches where they have played well, they have several looming questio »»
The Portland Trail Blazers had a grueling stretch from 2000-2006 where they were known as the "Jail Blazers". Comprised of cocky characters like Zach Randolph, Bonzi Wells, Rasheed Wallace, and Shawn Kemp among others, the team was headed down a »»
In this week's episode, the issues of Albert Pujols in California and the Jeremy LinSANITY in New York are the top topics. »»
Jeremy Lin has reinvigorated basketball in New York City and become a national phenomenon. Months ago, Tim Tebow spawned Tebow-Mania in Denver and became a national phenomenon. Since both men are Christian and underdogs, this has lead a ton of ma »»
Check out the SportsPicks gallery below from Toy Fair! The only new figures shown were MLB 29. Plenty of playmakers were also shown, along with the current wave of NFL, NHL & NBA. [gallery=1663] »»
If you're a Bulls or Hornets fan, you got a major treat last night. Will Ferrell channelled his inner Jackie Moon to introduce both lineups, down in New Orleans to film Dog Fight currently, and the results were hilarity. »»
10. DJ Augustin, Charlotte Bobcats – Augustin was supposed to struggle to hold of Kemba Walker this year, but has instead responded by becoming a true leader, shooting a great percentage and running a team at a heretofore unforeseen efficiency. W »»
10. John Wall, Washington Wizards – Wall went from future superstar to people openly questioning what he’d become. He has above average court vision and incredible speed, but his game doesn’t appear to have developed at all from a shooting or »»
10. Iman Shumpert, New York Knicks – Shumpert has already, after a mere 2-weeks, most of which he missed with an injury, become the Knicks starting point guard. He’s got a pure attack mentality, and his penetration, with all the attention defen »»

Here are the latest images of NBA Series 20. Check out the in package shots, as well as the Collector Level figures. These are due out in stores in February. -Carmelo Anthony 4 (New York Knicks) -Kobe Bryant 6 (Los Angeles Lakers) -Kevin Duran »»
Chicago Bulls 88 – LA Lakers 87 This was the best played game of the day, and much of it came down to the defense taking over for stretches, and each offense taking off for stretches, the Bulls notably being unable to score in the third an »»
Los Angeles Clippers 105 – Golden State Warriors 86 Another predictable beatdown, but this one was predicated largely on the talent disparity between the clubs. To see it, one simply should look at the Clippers starters. Caron Butler h »»
Orlando Magic 89 – OKC Thunder 97 Although the score here was closer than the Heat game, the Thunder were every bit as much in control from start to finish as the Heat were. Kevin Durant, James Harden and Russell Westbrook all showed com »»
Heat 105 – Mavericks 94 Was anyone surprised by this result? The Mavericks were getting their rings and the Heat were seething – it was just a question of motivation. Lebron and Wade dominated on both ends of the court, simply eati »»
Celtics 104 – NY Knicks 106 It seems an awful lot like the Knicks are going to be a schizophrenic team this year. They played best, by far, in the second and fourth quarters, with Carmelo quarterbacking their attack, for others in the se »»
1. Of every team, this is the single hardest to write about. It’s a strange team filled with soft players who don’t play defense that didn’t add much. What they did add was a brilliant defensive coach, Dwane Casey. As good as Casey is, th »»
1. Sorry Cavs fans, I like Kyrie Irving – I really do – but as a #1 pick in the draft? He’ll have to be Chris Paul good for that with his athletic ability and I’m not ready to declare that of anyone. He will, however, be effici »»
1. The Pistons have finally, belatedly, realized Rodney Stuckey is a decent passing 2, not a point guard! Stuckey can back down 1s and take 2s off the dribble with ease and, while he’s not a great finisher, he’s excellent at drawing »»
1. As important as new acquisitions are, the main impetus for the Bucks success remains Andrew Bogut. Bogut is the second best center in the league when healthy, a true defensive force second only to Dwight Howard. He’s the rare c »»
Year 1 of the Big 3 was a failure. These are 2 of the top 3 guys on the planet, with another all world player, and they came together to win rings. Anything less was a failure, especially given the best player in the world melted down in the f »»
They upset the Magic! I mean, sure, it was largely because they have the single most effective player in the NBA at covering Dwight Howard (Jaron Collins who lacks other appreciable skills), but they rocked the Magic and then challenged the Bull »»
The elephant in the room for this team is the keeping of Dwight Howard. One has to assume he’ll be traded, as the Magic have huge, huge holes on their team and even with a top 3 player in the league, would need a miracle to get out of the seco »»
1. Derrick Rose wasn’t the best player or most valuable in the NBA last year, but he’s a truly elite player who both cares and has the talent to make his team a title contender. He’s everything a first overall pick should be, and »»
1. I know no one outside of Philly has noticed, but Jrue Holiday, all of 21-years-old, is a rising star. He can already run a good offense, shoot, and create for himself and others. He’s developing into a lockdown defender at the 1 »»
1. The big news for the Knicks is, of course, the signing of Tyson Chandler. Having a real center, one who can anchor a team’s defense, is bigger for the Knicks than just about any other team in basketball. With forwards who are, at »»
1. This team’s success will be all about John Wall and if last year is any indication, this is a team that could get into competition quickly. Wall is fast, strong, can shoot and create. He’s the perfect young point guard and if »»

It's pretty over. The National Basketball Players Association, saying the collective bargaining process has "completely broken down," served notice to the NBA on Monday that they plan to dissolve and pursue antitrust lawsuits against the league fo »»
Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith have purchased a minority stake in the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers. The team was sold by Comcast to a group of investors, of which Smith is a major one. As noted in his theme song, Smith was West Philadelphia b »»
