Deron Williams
For anybody wondering who this person Deron is referring to is, here is his twitter. I’m not entirely sure exactly what it is that angered (more or less) Deron Williams, but apparently he is making some false statements. Regardless, when a player finds it significant enough to write a tweet about it, you obviously went too far. Likewise, the writer has about 220k+ followers, so this is not a no-name guy. The drama surrounding where Deron Williams will land

David Stern wants to ruin the Olympics

by

NEW YORK — Our best vs. your best, and let’s see who can win the gold medal in men’s basketball at the Olympics. That was the idea that spawned the Dream Team, and now NBA commissioner David Stern sounds as though he wants to change it. Stern on Wednesday endorsed a discussion of limiting the Olympics and the World Cup of Basketball (formerly called the World Championship) to players 23 and under, bowing to pressure from NBA owners who have complained that

by

The NBA draft lottery is set for tonight at 8 p.m. ET, with Game 2 of the Celtics-Heat series coming up at 8:30 p.m. In the meantime, take a gander at some of the news from around the NBA on Wednesday. After convincingly losing Game 1, Rajon Rondo stated “Nothing dirty, but they have to hit the deck, too.’’ Knowing that the Celtics want to get more physical, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade had their say on the matter: “I expect to be quote,

Bernucca: The top 20 unrestricted NBA free agents

by

Tonight is the NBA draft lottery, which is one way to build a team. The other way is free agency, which starts in just over a month. Many teams positioned themselves for this summer, expecting Dwight Howard, Chris Paul and Deron Williams all to opt out and become free agents. But Howard and Paul opted in, and now there is money to spend on a significantly weaker but nevertheless strong class. A handful of teams could be very active this summer. Among playoff

Heisler: What’s the difference between the NBA and the WWE?

by

csprtContainer(); Question: What’s the difference between the NBA and the outfit formerly known as the World Wrestling Federation? Answer: Beats me. Actually, there’s a huge difference between a game highlighting athletic grace and hand-to-hand combat between players assuming heroic or villainous personas: The WWF doesn’t have a ball. Otherwise, it’s getting too close for comfort for the NBA, even if league officials prefer to pull the strings from New York rather than issuing proclamations in the ring like Vince McMahon. These playoffs look less like a

Hubbard: Popovich could have been speechless, but wasn’t

by

SAN ANTONIO – Even after victories, Gregg Popovich has a low tolerance for questions he considers pointless or silly. The query could be an innocent one, but something simplistic like “Can you talk about your 20-game winning streak” might result in Popovich answering, “No.” So when he was asked Tuesday night how many times had his offenses – which include those of four championship teams – been better than the current one, the possibility of a curt answer such as “How should

If you want to learn how to play team basketball, please, just watch the Spurs. They run the pick and roll flawlessly, they have mastered the drive and dish, and they play phenomenal defense. The Spurs played the Thunder, who are most likely the most talented team in the NBA, and they had to fight to simply cut it to about five. I claimed earlier the Spurs win in six, and I understand the Thunder are going to be

SH blog: Tuesday’s News: The refs, the lottery, the Clippers

by

Time for a look around at what’s happening today in the NBA. We’ll be doing this every day from now on, right around 7-8 p.m. EDT. Doc Rivers was irate for receiving a technical foul in Game 1 against the Miami Heat for simply saying “Come on Eddie” to referee Ed Malloy, and rightfully so. From Chris Forsberg of ESPN Boston: “I know mine wasn’t (deserved). I can tell you that much,” said Rivers, whose team got hit with three individual technicals, a
