The Milwaukee Bucks are not joking around about getting back to the playoffs.  They have just pulled off a masterfull trade.  They traded the 10th pick in the draft and the questionable contracts of John Salmons and Corey Maggette for Stephen Jackson, Beno Udrih, Shaun Livingston and even the 19th pick.  Wow, so not only [...]

One of my favorite days of the year is tonight, yes, the 2011 NBA Draft is on ESPN at 4:30 WST with the pregame show at 4:00 WST.  While it’s true this is a weak draft with no clear Super Stars and way too many players with too little experience and more Euro’s than one can [...]

There are so many reasons the Sacramento Kings need a mature point guard to run their team.  The first and most obvious reason is to make sure they get the most out their investment of their past two number 5 picks in the NBA Draft, the dynamic duo of Tyreke Evens and DeMarcus Cousins.  Both players [...]

“I have finally decided to start the journey.  It is my dream and I want to fulfill it.  After thinking about it a lot, the time has arrived.  I think all that I have won here gives me strength to go.  Individually, I could have done things better, but it is a team sport and [...]

Here are all of  invites for the 2011 NBA Draft Green Room which is useally a pretty good indicator of who is going in the top 15 picks: Kyrie Irving (Duke); Derrick Williams (Arizona); Enes Kanter (Turkey); Brandon Knight (Kentucky); Kemba Walker (UConn); Jonas Valanciunas (Lithuania); Jan Vesely (Czech Republic); Kawhi Leonard (San Diego St.); Chris Singleton [...]

The Golden State Warriors are finally getting smart and have offered Monta Ellis, Ekpe Udoh and Andris Biedrins for Dwight Howard.  Even if the Magic turn it down it at least shows the Warriors are realizing their flaws.  They need defense, size, toughness, rebounding and low post play.  I don’t need to tell you they will [...]

The Miami Heat almost had the first two games won in Miami of the NBA Finals but started celebrating and shooting 3′s way too early.  They went on to lose that second game and then only win two of three in Dallas.  But now they are back in Miami for Game 6 and as long as [...]

“I believe Mark has walked into an incredibly difficult job. Too many voices in the front office, a team that is on the outside looking in as far as the playoffs and new owners who have high expectations. That would be a lot for any coach. For a guy who has never even sat on [...]

Why have the Phildephia 76ers calling the Golden State Warriors about trading Andre Iguodala for Monte Ellis lead to just talking?  The Golden State Warriors need to pull the trigger.  You can’t win in the NBA without an elite defensive center to cover for two little kids in the backcourt.  So unless the Warriors plan to trade for Dwight [...]

Mark Jackson is coming West to be the new Head Coach of the Golden State Warriors.  My first thoughts are I don’t like him; he is boring, preferred passing to Allan Houston over Latrell Sprewell and is always shooting down our boy Jeff Van Gundy on ABC’s NBA play by play team.  On the other hand he is [...]
