I hope you all like head coaching news, because this post is almost all about head coaches and their present and future!

I Challenge You to a Duel
It’s being rumored that just a couple of weeks ago Bulls vice president John Paxson had provoked a fight with head coach Vinny Del Negro due to a disagreement in Joakim Noah’s playing time. After a March 30 game at the United Center, Noah had played 27 minutes against the Suns, but upper management was aiming for Noah to play much less minutes due …

Bulls 101, Celtics 93
Derrick Rose must have heard me and Shooter bash the hell out of him on the podcast because in the biggest game of the year for the Bulls he stepped with a career high 39 points and one NASTY dunk.  Rose is now averaging over 20 ppg this year after carrying the entire Bulls team in this last stretch run.  Rose was 15-22 from the field and his counterpart Hinrich dropped 30 himself!  It was a pretty evenly matched game as both teams had under 10 turnovers, …

RACE FOR THE 8TH SEED IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE

Nets 127, Bulls 116 (2 OT)
I can’t quite come up with the words that I should, so let me just start by saying this: I was at this game, and it was AWESOME!
Going into the game, I knew it’d be tough for the Nets because the Bulls are fighting for the eighth seed in the East. The Raptors were also playing on Friday night (turns out they lost too), so the Bulls had a chance to move into the playoff picture. The …

Bag-Gate Comes to an End
After an ugly argument in a game last week, Nets CEO Brett Yormark and the ‘paper-bag fans’ had a planned lunch meeting on Tuesday afternoon to bury the hatchet (and to play the public relations game). This has to have been the most bizarre lunch EVER. It was sponsored by McDonalds, so they ate hamburgers, fries and salads – from …

I’m going to start this Saturday wrap-up giving congratulations to Butler and West Virginia for making the Final Four. To tell you the truth though, I’m really only doing it because I was rooting for them to beat KSU and UK. Now that we have the college games out of the way, let’s get to the real deal – the NBA! Only five games on the schedule, let’s gooo!

Lakers 109, Rockets 101
Field goal shooting. Seems like an important stat, one that is pretty obvious when it comes down to the …

Bucks 83, Knicks 67
After the deadline, the Knicks played with a lot of energy in their first game, against the red-hot Thunder. Well, that energy was absent in this one as the Bucks beat the Knicks pretty handily. Rather than bash the Knicks for sucking, I think most can agree to chalk this up to dealing with new players getting used to each other and Coach D’Antoni’s system. It also didn’t help New York that Andrew Bogut had 24 points and 20 rebounds. Tracy McGrady had a solid 15 points, …

Mavericks 95, Magic 85
The Dallas Mavericks haven’t been about defense since the 80s – one trade later, they may have that mentality back.
The old Wizards tandem of Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood combined with the rest of the Mavs to play a heck of a defensive game after the Magic came out hitting everything in the first quarter. Orlando only scored 52 points in the final three quarters, including only 16 points in the fourth – a quarter that Dallas used to come back and take the game.
Butler scored 16 …
