Tweet of the Night: Andre Iguodala unhappy with All-Defensive Team snub

by

The All-Defensive teams were announced on Monday, and suffice to say, Denver Nuggets shooting guard Andre Iguodala was not happy about being left off the team for the second consecutive season. Iguodala, known for his defensive prowess, received 16 total points (2 First Team votes) and was edged out for the Second Team by Boston Celtics guard Avery Bradley, who played just 50 games this season. His frustration is understandable. Last season, he was curiously edged for the All-Defensive Second Team

Tweet of the Night: Nazr Mohammed regrets pushing LeBron James

by

Chicago Bulls backup center Nazr Mohammed lost his cool on Friday night, and it proved to be a costly decision for his team. In an incredibly tense atmosphere during Game 3 between the Miami Heat and Bulls – where the two teams refused to even shake each other’s hands to begin the contest – Mohammed tried to wrap up LeBron James in transition early in the second quarter. It was a rather strange decision to begin with, given that it was

SH Blog: Jackson says Ellis-Bogut trade changed culture, Doyel rips Derrick Rose

by

Mark Jackson is the coach of the Golden State Warriors. If you ask him, though, he will probably tell you that he is, first and foremost, a pastor. Generally speaking, Jackson is a good man. He respects all of his players and treats them as equals. He would never speak ill towards any of them and never utters a curse word – not easy to do when you’re involved with the game of basketball.

Tweet of the Night: Pau Gasol talks life after surgery

by

The 2012-2013 season has been one to forget for Los Angeles Lakers power forward Pau Gasol. Actually, he’s had a number of forgettable seasons since helping the team win two championships and picking up the label “best power forward in the league” in the process. It all seemed to begin when Phil Jackson left the team after getting swept in the playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks in the second round of the 2010-2011 season. Gasol did not perform well (he shot just

SH Blog: Curry says Jackson should have finished higher for COY, J.R Smith and Shumpert caught partying after Game 2

by

What goes into winning the prestigious NBA Coach of the Year award? Do you have to have the best record in the league? Do you have to defy the preseason odds of your team not making the playoffs? Must you overcome the absence of injured star players? Like most awards in the NBA, there are no standard guidelines as to why someone deserves votes moreso than others, and this makes it rather difficult for the writers to determine who the very

Tweet of the Night: David Robinson doesn’t put Stephen Curry in his top 3 as a shooter

by

By now, it’s hard to argue with the notion that Stephen Curry is getting up there as one of the best shooters in the history of the NBA, if not already the best. His form is absolute purity, and the ability to shoot from anywhere puts fear into defenders anytime he gets past the halfcourt line. His shot single-handedly changes the way a team has to guard him and the Golden State Warriors entirely. Most of his peers watch him

Tweet of the Night: Shaquille O’Neal fires back at Kendrick Perkins

by

Center Kendrick Perkins is known for being a tough defensive presence for the Oklahoma City Thunder. From an offensive standpoint, he has largely been ineffective since undergoing knee surgery back in 2010. The playoffs have especially been unkind to Perkins, who has shot a woeful 35 percent from the field in seven combined games. That’s pretty unacceptable from the five spot, no matter how little-involved you are in the offensive schemes.  [Read more…]

SH Blog: Rose addresses Steve Kerr’s commentary on playing status, Nets contact Phil Jackson for coaching job

by

Can Derrick Rose still come back this season to help the Chicago Bulls against the Miami Heat in the Conference semifinals? Much has been made of why he – despite being cleared to play by doctors some time ago – has still been unavailable to play for the team. Perhaps there wouldn’t have been so much scrutiny on the point guard, who is still in the process of recovering from the torn ACL he suffered in last season’s playoffs, had he
