Tweet of the Day: Jeremy Lin

by

Happy Halloween everyone. As the NBA has its second night of games, opening night for most teams—including the practically rebuilt Houston Rockets, the rest of America embarks on the age-old tradition of wearing costumes and stockpiling candy. Hopefully your costume—if you’re wearing one—is up to snuff. In a retrospective tweet, Rockets point guard Jeremy Lin seems to think that he had the best costume as a kid.

Happy Halloween! Dont be jealous of my bambi costume... http://t.co/EPPE1ard

Brooklyn Nets’ home opener vs. Knicks postponed

by

The devastation of Hurricane Sandy on the New York City metropolitan area has forced the postponement of the Brooklyn Nets’ home opener Thursday vs. the New York Knicks. The league made the announcement Wednesday afternoon. There were reports Tuesday that the game at the new Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn might still be played, but that is no longer the case. “Mayor (Michael) Bloomberg informed us this afternoon that after further analysis of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy that he felt

Hornets guard Eric Gordon out indefinitely

by

New Orleans Hornets guard Eric Gordon is out indefinitely with right knee issues that have plagued him since he joined the team. Asked about Gordon’s status for the team’s season opener Wednesday night vs. San Antonio, Hornets coach Monty Williams said, “He’s gonna be out, and the way I understand it, he’s gonna be out indefinitely until we get some clarity as to what’s going on.” Gordon did not play at all in the preseason due to the knee injury before participating

Perkins: LeBron James has completed turnaround from villain to hero

by

MIAMI – LeBron James has completed the rarely seen transition from national villain to national darling. For the first time in two years, there’s no over-the-top hatred for James to start the season. There’s no venom or vitriol. It’s been an amazing transition to watch. Kobe Bryant made a similar change/comeback a few years ago. LeBron’s might have been bigger. “Quicker,” Dwyane Wade said with a smile. “But I don’t know about bigger. You can go with quicker comeback.” OK, he’s got a

Lakers Lose Opener; Last Day to Enter $1,000 Fantasy Contest

by

This time it counts. The Lakers, 0-8 in the exhibition season, were supposed to turn it on and dominate the league. Not yet. Kobe Bryant played on that sore foot, scored 22 points but did nothing else to help his fantasy owners. Dwight Howard took all of one night to kill your FT% category, making a pathetic 3-14 from the stripe. He did have 19 PTS and 10 REB before fouling out. It was a tremendous upset for the injury-plagued

SH Blog: Ty Lawson signs contract extension with Nuggets, Granger out indefinitely

by

There are a number of noteworthy players that are on the verge of becoming a restricted free agent by season’s end, including guards Stephen Curry, Jrue Holiday, Brandon Jennings, Tyreke Evans and others. Why? Because their respective teams have yet to decide whether they are worth the long-term investment. James Harden was also among the boat of players looking to receive a contract extension, but we all know how that ended up (he is preparing to suit up for the

Kris Humphries
Brooklyn Nets power forward Kris Humphries noticed something that many Suns fans – fans in general, actually – may have noticed in the Lakers first game of the season against the Mavericks on opening night: Steve Nash was hardly noticeable half the time, except when the opposition was repeatedly scoring on him. This is certainly not what we expected when news broke over the summer that Nash was headed to Los Angeles. This is not why Chris Sheridan thought this

Tweet of the Day: Dan Gilbert

by

Could there be a less compassionate owner in the NBA than Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert? In light of all of the rain and high-speed winds brought on by the remnants of hurricane Sandy, Gilbert thought it best inform fans that Tuesday night’s season opening game will be starting on time in this fashion:
