Posted in NBA on Mar 13th, 2010
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Kevin Durant continues to light up the NBA. Last night, in a two-point win over the New Jersey Nets, Durant set the franchise record for most 30-point games in a season as he racked up 32. This would be utterly hysterical if it was the Oklahoma City franchise record, [...]

Eddie Jordan getting fired?
Posted in NBA on Mar 10th, 2010
Sources tell Philly.com’s Kate Fagan that Comcast-Spectacor, the company that owns the Philadelphia 76ers, is planning on firing head coach Eddie Jordan. This is a complete shocker. Why would they just fire a coach who has a system that doesn’t work, with players that can’t run that system even if it did work? [...]

Numerous league sources tell the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Stephen A. Smith that if Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson doesn’t get help soon, he “will either drink himself into oblivion or gamble his life away.” Look, we’ve taken our shots at Iverson before, but this sounds extremely serious.
San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker left Saturday night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies with a broken bone in his hand. During a scramble for the ball, Parker busted the fourth metacarpal in his right hand.

LeBron goes off
Posted in NBA on Mar 5th, 2010
You may or may not have noticed, but we’ve pretty much ignored every other sport not named football today. We can’t help it. Football is our favorite, we admit, but there was clearly way more going on in the NFL today than with any other sport.
So anyway, lost in all of [...]

Posted in NBA on Mar 4th, 2010
Allen Iverson is sure going through some issues. His NBA career is all but over after the team said that he’s done for the year. The reason he was supposedly done for the year is because he keeps taking time off to be with his sick daughter, who they can’t seem to diagnose. [...]
The Chicago Bulls have decided to shelve big-man Joakim Noah for three weeks as he tries to recover from plantar fasciitis. Noah has had this problem since mid-January and already missed 10 games. He’ll most likely miss another 10 at least.
