The deadline to enter the 2013 NBA Draft was Sunday, and we now know this much — the 2013 draft will be OK at best. The 2014 draft? It’ll be one for the ages. [Read more…]
Kotoch: Withdrawals Strengthen 2014 NBA Draft
May: For Jason Terry, It’s About Time
For so long, much too long, he had not been The Jet. He had been The Dreamliner, batteries not working, grounded, under repair, embarrassed, a symbol of excess spending and not enough due diligence. Jason Terry’s first season in Boston had been his worst, statistically, since his rookie year of 2000-01. Little had gone right. This was not what Terry or the Celtics had envisioned. He was the guy who was going to replace Ray Allen. He was a scorer off the
Sheridan: Who Is More Valuable: Nate Robinson or Brandon Jennings?
If you asked most folks around the NBA that question — the one in the headline — 80 percent or more would have answered Jennings. And then this weekend happened.

Kamenetzky: Undermanned Lakers torched in Game 3
There is an alternate universe somewhere in which the Lakers stayed healthy, and people still speak of them as Finals contenders. Must be a nice place. Friday night at Staples Center, the Lakers took the floor short Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Steve Blake, and Jodie Meeks, with Metta World Peace playing one-legged after having fluid drained from his surgically repaired left knee earlier that afternoon, and a starting backcourt consisting of a point guard who should have just finished his senior season
Schayes: Knicks’ Mike Woodson is Coach of the Year
We already know the winners of the Most Improved Player award, the Sixth Man Award and the Defensive Player of the Year. Rookie of the Year will be a runaway, as will MVP. Coach of the Year? That is one of the biggest mysteries remaining in this NBA postseason — along with the question of whether the Miami Heat will ever lose a game. I have a tremendous history with coaches. It started by growing up with an NBA Coach of the
