NBA Tuesday: Maggette’s concussion...

I noticed that Corey Maggette underwent what was termed as “minor surgery” on Monday, trying to alleviate the pain that plagued his right wrist for a good part of last season. OK, whatever. Here’s what’s scary: while perusing the rest of the short story, the following passage...

Don Nelson: Curry’s the next Steve...

The negotiations in the Amare Stoudemire trade have gone public, and who better than Don Nelson to throw some nice daggers. Check out this doozy, courtesy of Marcus Thompson II’s blog. “I always saw Steve Nash in (Stephen Curry), and he is the greatest player I’ve ever coached,” Nelson...

Everyone really trusts Larry Riley…...

I don’t know why I like mock drafts so much. Their usefulness and/or accuracy usually get squashed by the time the draft starts, if not before. Especially in the NBA, where the general managers aren’t afraid to make trades based on a whim (or a friendly relationship with another GM they used...

Shaq dealt, is Nash next?...

I can’t wait for the NBA Draft, because I want to see if it can possibly measure up to the preamble. David Stern gets his dream trade, as Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron James will be teammates next season. The big question isn’t if Shaq will get his chance to give Kobe Bryant a final “How’s...

Warriors more likely to trade for Amare ...

Tim Kawakami said that according to his (unnamed) sources, Larry Riley and the Warriors are going to make an all-out push to trade for Chris Bosh, as Riley was hot for CB4 at the trading deadline. Possibly to inflame his rabid commentariat, Kawakami even suggested that Riley and Don Nelson might possibly...

NBA Tuesday: Warriors’ window gett...

Utah’s precipitous fall from title contenders to getting waxed in the first round was one thing, but it was another game last night that showed just how wide open the Western Conference might be next season: the New Orleans Hornets losing by 58 points to the Denver Nuggets. It was a home loss so...

For our NBA-related rap lyric of the week, we go back to the mid-1990’s and Gangstarr, featuring the best superstar-producer/monotone-rapper combo of all time. Now the following lyrics don’t really qualify as an in depth look at the NBA, although you can tell Guru knows his ball after listening...

Lamar Odom and I are quite similar, really. Not physically, since I’m not left-handed or 6′10″. Tony Randolph is however, and that brings us to what Odom and I share: ridiculously high hopes for Randolph, as seen in this story from Cam Inman of the Contra Costa Times: “It’s...

Pretty nice win over the Knicks last night, huh? Three wins in four games, a big “eff you” to Al Harrington and confirmation that the Warriors aren’t the worst defensive team in the NBA (just at rebounding). Since Monta Ellis returned to the Warriors on Jan. 23 against Cleveland, the...
