Those title hopes were dashed as soon as the Mavs let Tyson Chandler, the very engine of their newfound defense, and J.J. Barea walk.The plan was, of course, [...]

The NBA has started and most of you are off from work, so I decided to share my picks with you. I didn’t have a single losing week wagering on football college or pro this year. I only usually give my plays to my friends because I  just do not want the attention: but I [...]

Let me get this straight. So Chris Paul was traded to the Lakers. Paul Gasol is going to Houston and Lamar Odom is going to the Hornets with Kevin Martin, 2 other players and a first round draft pick. We all know that Paul wanted out of New Orleans and wanted to be a Laker or a Knick. Then enter [...]

There is a new air surrounding the Sixers this year. That happens when a new ownership group comes in and looks ready to change the entire culture of the organization. There’s one major problem: will there even be an NBA season? Wisdom says, “yes, of course.” It is probably true. Everyone saw how the NFL lockout [...]

Talking, celebrating and predicting that you’re going to win seven NBA Championships before you’ve even won one is foolish. If you want to make yourself and your team hated throughout the country this is the thing to do. It was an awful mistake that LeBron James is going to take some time to live down. [...]
