Rajon Rondo has 3 of the leagues 9 triple double’s this season, and the 10th of his career. The second-half of the Detroit Pistons game was delayed due to the lights

Not entirely sure what your referring to here, Iman, but what I do know is that the Knicks looked phenomenal tonight against the Cavs. I also understand that Kyrie played good, not great, and Iman played quite solid off the bench with 12 points and 3 steals. The Knicks completely showed up the Cavs tonight at home, and Steve Novak just made a serious name for himself. It’s actually not crazy to say he stole the spotlight from Jeremy

Tuesday’s Post-Game Notes

by

Rajon Rondo had 11 assists, 5 turnovers, and did not score. Only three other players have had scoreless, 5 turnover games this season, but the three combined for only eight assists. Brandon Bass and Chris Wilcox both returned to Boston’s lineup. Monto Ellis, expected to pick up production with Curry injured, shot just 1-6 in the second half. Derrick Rose looked fantastic right out of the All-Star Break, scoring 32 points with 9 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. The Houston Rockets have been

John Wall
I respect taking the blame for such a close loss. Turnovers can kill you, and really determine who wins or loses a game. But Wall has been spectacular lately, and he truly cannot be blamed at all for the terrible season Washington is having. They fell to 7-27 on the season, and theres not much Wall can do about it. Javale Mcgee is not getting it together, Nick Young is not looking like anything more than an offensive scorer,

Andrew Bogut
This tweet, in my opinion, is relatively big news to me. I understand the Bucks are not good; Bogut’s return is not going to start a deep playoff run anytime soon. However, I’m a huge fan of Bogut, and I want to see him get back on the court. If the Bucks can add a few more pieces to build around Bogut and Brandon Jennings, this team could make a push in the next few years. Bogut is a

LBJ admitted Kobe was barking at him at end of game, daring him to shoot the 3. LBJ instead forced awful pass inside, resulting in turnover

  What a dramatic ending. LeBron goes absolutely nuts, hitting six 3-pointers to tie the All-Star record, stunning the crowd with his fade away shots. But then, just as it always has been, LeBron throws the ball to no-mans land. He chokes once again in the clutch, and the media frenzy continues. The interesting part is just as Lloyd pointed out; Kobe, the king of killer instinct, dares LeBron to shoot the 3. And how does LeBron react? Throwing the

I'm going with Chase Budinger...why? Cause he proved white men can jump

I’m with Green on this one. Jeremy Evans was quite impressive in his two handed-double-dunk (for lack of a better phrase), and I respect that. I also understand Budinger  didn’t do any windmill 360s or jump over any cars. But he had creativity, and jumping over P. Diddy with a “White Men Can’t Jump” motto was a cool idea. Not to mention, he dunked blindfolded. Reverse. So hats off to Jeremy Evans, I suppose his dual ball dunk took

My favorite night of TV every year as a kid was watching the NBA dunk contest. I'm hype again this year, I predict @ will win!

I have to say I agree with Lee on this one. Of the four players in the Slam Dunk contest this year, George seems to have the greatest potential to really put on a show. The hype really started following his windmill dunk in overtime vs. the Hornets, and he seems to be the favorite going into Saturday Night. I’m really not sure what to expect out of Chase Budinger or Jeremy Evans, as they really are not big
