Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star forward Kevin Love will miss six to eight weeks with a broken hand, the team announced Wednesday.

What kind of a broadcaster would Stan Van Gundy have been?

by

By now you have probably heard that Stan Van Gundy will NOT be joining ESPN as a studio analyst, and Stan is NOT happy about the lack of an explanation. Now, the news is out about who will fill the chair that would have been Stan’s. From Jason McIntyre of The Big Lead.com: “Jalen Rose, whose star continues to rise at ESPN, has just been selected as the 4th member of ESPN’s “NBA Countdown,” sources tell me. The deal, which came together

Hawks Experiment; Brooklyn Second Unit Beats Celtics

by

The Atlanta Hawks are full of surprises. Devin Harris, in his first action of the preseason, started at SG alongside Jeff Teague. Their two best players, Josh Smith and Al Horford, got the night off, while Anthony Tolliver (14 PTS) started at PF. Tolliver’s ability to stretch the floor might keep him in the rotation when the games matter. Louis Williams did his thing — 18 points in 26 minutes off the bench — and still has a chance to

Roy Hibbert
Uh oh. It is unclear exactly which reporter or article Roy Hibbert is referring to – he obviously doesn’t know yet either – but someone has clearly ticked off the Pacers center, who keeps himself in shape during the off-season by going through rigorous MMA training sessions. It’s unknown whether Hibbert found out about the slanderous article before the exhibition game against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. Regardless, the big man made his presence felt with 16 points, 11 rebounds and

SH Blog: Deron Wiliams calls out A.J. Price, Lin wanted to be a Knick for life

by

When Deron Williams was first traded to the New Jersey Nets two seasons ago, he really didn’t have a whole lot of nice things to say about the situation. The team had no direction and Williams had no interest in being part of a rebuilding project, but fast forward to this preseason and the tone has completely changed. He is more than content with the teammates he now has, and seems to carry a certain level of pride about being

Tweet of the Day: Jeremy Lin

by

It’s not every day that an NBA player with only 64 total games under his belt in two seasons in the league manages to make the cover of a magazine, especially if that magazine is GQ. Jeremy Lin, who enters his third season in the NBA—and his first full season with the Houston Rockets, did just that.
