Tweet of the Day went to former NBA player and current Utah Jazz analyst Matt Harpring, who wasn’t thrilled to see his team shut out from being televised on TNT for the upcoming season. It is a bit of a surprising omission, given the fact that the Jazz surprisingly made the playoffs in the ultra-competitive Western Conference last season, edging out the Houston Rockets by two games. Although they were overwhelmed by a more experienced Spurs team in the first

Wilson Chandler
Tweet of the Night goes to Wilson Chandler, who agreed with and appreciated Jalen Rose for believing that he is good enough to become an All Star within the next two years. Chandler was somewhat walking the path of an eventual All Star, improving his scoring in each of his first four seasons with the New York Knicks, topping out at 16.4 points. However, he joined a deep Denver team and saw his scoring dip to 12.5 points before

Deron Williams
Tweet of the Day went to Deron Williams, who found himself back home in New York City and was greeted by one bizarre chicken-lizard looking creature. Unusual encounters aside, Williams makes his return to the States after attaining his second consecutive gold medal with Team USA. He managed to play 10 minutes in the final game  of the Olympics against Spain and scored six points. The experience should give him a boost of confidence, as he prepares for an exciting

Future free agency: Who is the next Dwight Howard?

by

Are you happy that the interminable saga surrounding Dwight Howard’s next destination is mercifully over? Yeah, us too. Most NBA observers – and we’re talking about everyone from Commissioner David Stern to billionaire owners to sleep-deprived GMs to fellow superstars to media members to fans to forum flamers – are mentally moving on from Howard now that he finally has been traded from the Orlando Magic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Yes, there is a faction of folks who feel there may be

This may be the best team at Amway Arena this season

by

Let’s face it: Orlando Magic GM Rob Hennigan got fleeced in the Dwight Howard trade. Put over a barrel by the demands of a petulant, wishy-washy superstar, he was the only executive who did not acquire an All-Star in the four-team blockbuster. Hennigan’s net take for Howard and some extra parts was Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Moe Harkless, Nikola Vucevic, Christian Eyenga, Josh McRoberts, three highly protected future first-round picks and two second-round picks. Unless Hennigan does some more wheeling and dealing

TWITTER VOICES HEARD: all @sixers fans invited to attend open Bynum/JR press conference this week. Season/20/10 tix holders reserved area. — Adam Aron (@SixersCEOAdam) August 13, 2012 Well, it should be quite a welcome for Andrew Bynum in Philly. Sixers CEO Adam Aron listened to his tweeps, who were asking for access, and invited season-ticket holders to come view Bynum’s introductory press conference. Can’t say I’ve ever heard of a team doing that.

All-Olympics Team: Manu and LeBron Lead The Way

by

Team USA beat Spain for Olympic gold on Sunday with a roster of 12 men that embraced their respective roles.  They shoved their egos aside for the good of the team and yada yada yada. Tired of the clichés yet? After watching Team USA’s big, happy family roll over opponents for two weeks, I am too.  But hey, they deserved each one.  Getting a group of superstars to agree to a 12-way split of the spotlight is tough, and Mike Krzyzewski managed
