“I would like to announce my plans to retire from the National Basketball Association. I always thought that when I left the game, it would be because I couldn’t help my team the way that I was accustomed to. However, that is not the case.” – …

In a move that should surprise no one, disgruntled Stephen Jackson was traded to the Charlotte Bobcats in a 2-for-2 player swap. Charlotte will also recieve reserve guard Acie Law, while they will send Raja Bell and Vladimir Radmanovic. The Warriors wanted to get talent in return of trading Jackson, but this was going to be a hard task as every single team knew that they wanted to get rid off him.
The Bobcats win by adding a scorer to their anemic offense. The Warriors win by getting rid of a …

Bucks 129, Warriors 125 
Maybe it’s time I stop BASHING Brandon Jennings.  I won’t lie to you, I thought it was stupid he was going to play in Europe and I honestly thought he was over-hyped and that the Bucks made a big mistake.  It’s seven games into the season, and boy was I wrong thus far.  On Saturday, Jennings poured in 55 on 21-34 shooting, including 7-8 from downtown and 6-8 from the stripe.  Even with 55 points from Jennings the Bucks only won by 4 points against the Warriors.  …

The Cavs lost at home. Melo lost his cornrows and his attitude. Rajon Rondo is the MVP. Manu Ginobili won a fight. And the Suns and Heat are undefeated.  WHAT?!
The first week of the 2009 NBA season has been anything but predictable.  However, week two of the season looks even more intriguing with a bunch of huge matchups and questions that need to be answered.

If there is a must win game for any team this week it’s this one for the Clippers. An atrocious 0-4 …

Celtics fans can breath easy now, Rajon Rondo agreed in principle to sign a 5-year contract extension which will start in the ’10-’11 season.  The deal is reportedly worth a minimum of $55 million which is a lot of money for a PG who averages 9.6 ppg.  I guess all that doesn’t really matter though when you average 1.7 spg and last year totalled 8.2 apg (this year already at 11.8 apg).  Personally, I think he is a guy who should make $6-10 million a year and have that contract be worth $40 million …
