Current college coach of Louisville Rick Pitino was originally rumored to be scheming a comeback to the sidelines in the NBA. I first heard this morning that he reached out to the Nets, either Rod Thorn or prospective owner Mikhail Prokhorov, on …

Tonight the New Jersey Nets faced off against the Milwaukee Bucks at the Izod Center in Rutherford, New Jersey. For our readers around the country and the world who may not be aware of this, a blizzard hit the New Jersey/New York area late last night. The snow continued all day forcing many New Jersyians to stay home. At game time there was only about 1,000 fans in attendance so the Nets allowed everyone to move down and watch the game courtside! A great gesture by the Nets considering that …

Lace up your….ice cleats?
The Harlem Globetrotters took a little field trip to Manhattan on Tuesday to play a game of basketball, on a hockey rink in Central Park. The most famous traveling team in the world played on ice for the first time in their 84-year history to play their greatest rivals, the Washington Generals.

Players for both teams wore ice cleats over …

The San Antonio Spurs and the Boston Celtics are two of the better franchises in the NBA, hands down. The Celtics should probably be considered one of the greatest franchises in all of sports, whereas the Spurs have been a force in the NBA for the past decade. Both of these teams are still considered as contenders to win in it all this June, but I can’t help but think these two teams are headed downward, and faster than you think.
It is my humble opinion, that both of these teams …

I’ve been looking forward to producing this list for a while now…I’ve labored over statistics for a while, but some of these picks just feel good. I might have been a bit biased this month, but who cares – it’s my opinion anyway.
Eastern Conference Player of the Month – LeeeeeeBron. 30 / 8 / 7 for the month of January. That’s MVP caliber play right there. He’s picked up the pace too with recent injuries to Delonte West and Mo Williams. His back might get sore, but I envision him …

Since we are getting closer and closer to the trade deadline, I figured I’d share with you some of my favorite situations with players that I think we could see traded. Will any of these guys actually become members of new teams? Only time will tell.
Ray Allen. As noted in The Ref’s Power Rankings, Ray Allen’s tenure in Boston could be over. Boston has lost 6 of their past 8 games, and are definitely limping into the All Star Break. There are rumors that the locker room morale isn’t …
