Only two games were held on Thursday, December 12, but they weren’t without excitement. There were MVP-caliber performances and the reunion of three of the biggest names of our generation. Here’s everything you need to know about last night’s action. [Read more…]

Tweet of the Night: Jared Dudley rips himself for being terrible all season long
When the Los Angeles Clippers acquired J.J. Redick and Jared Dudley over the summer via trade, many around the league felt that the team surrounded Chris Paul and Blake Griffin with the perfect pieces: solid role players with exceptional touch from the outside to provide great spacing for both stars. Paul would pick defenses apart with so many options to choose from, while Griffin would have all the room he could ask for to operate in the low block. For the
Sheridan: Breaking Down the Kyle Lowry Trade Rumors
Trade rumors were flowing Thursday like water going over Niagara Falls as the day when the dam can burst — Dec. 15 — drew closer by the hour. (For those unfamiliar with NBA rules, the vast majority of players who signed contracts over the summer cannot be dealt until Dec. 15.) Most years, Dec. 15 comes and goes with tons of trade speculation buildup and very, very little in terms of actual deals going down. But this season, with 13 teams more
Tweet of the Day: Knicks Looking to Acquire Kyle Lowry?
Season-long unhappiness and the recent addition of Greivis Vasquez—who came in the Rudy Gay trade with the Sacramento Kings—to the Toronto Raptors backcourt now have point guard Kyle Lowry’s name being discussed in trade talks with the New York Knicks, among other potential suitors. The Knicks could use Lowry’s services with their leading point guard, Raymond Felton, having left hamstring problems that have lingered since the beginning of the season and now have him missing the next 2-3 weeks of action.

Rookie Rankings, Week 6: Do We Have Another High Lottery Bust?
Is it too early to say whether we have another lottery bust on our hands? It has been well-documented what’s going on in Cleveland with Anthony Bennett, the top overall pick in the 2013 draft who has been absolutely awful this season. This week, we saw the debut of Otto Porter, the No. 3 overall pick of the Washington Wizards. And while Porter is returning from an injury and has only played two games, the early returns don’t look promising. [Read more…]
Marks: Where Will E.T. Call Home?
PHILADELPHIA — Evan Turner is in the top 20 in the NBA in scoring – No. 20, to be exact – and still feels unloved. Turner is still paying the price for not being what was expected three years ago as the No. 2 pick in the 2010 draft – even though he is starting to do it now. He’s still being judged by what he considers unreasonable standards, as if he was supposed to be a flawless stone rather than
Fantasy Spin: Thursday, December 12, 2013
Oklahoma City and San Antonio continued their winning ways with road wins over weaker opponents. The Bucks were blasted so thoroughly by the Spurs in the first half that their starters were benched en masse in the second half. The Pelicans beat the Pistons in overtime and the Celtics fell to the Clippers. The Knicks built a large lead and held on for a win over the Bulls. The Timberwolves’ first half defense was abysmal: they fell behind early but
SH Blog: Iguodala says Sixers fans used to curse at him all the time, Rondo denies recruitment from Melo
If you know me or follow me on twitter, you know that I follow the Golden State Warriors more closely than any other team in the league. No player intrigues me the way Stephen Curry does (can you blame me?), and the belief that this team may be good enough to come out of the West became a reality when the team acquired Andrew Bogut two seasons ago. They were half way there to prove this point last season, and
