Sometimes when you ride like lightning, you crash like thunder. Unfortunately for the high-flying, tenacious whirlwind that has been the Denver Nuggets in 2013 — 34-9 since Jan. 1 — the Larry O’Brien championship trophy that seemed so possible, if only to them, is now just a flickering hologram in its trophy case.

SH Blog: Kobe to decide on retirement after ’13-’14 this summer; Scott on the outs in Cleveland?

Bernucca: Time for NBA referees to snap out of it
Having coached high school basketball for the last two seasons, I have gained a true appreciation for the quality of officiating by NBA referees. Until this week. This was a bad week for the league and its referees, as the NBA admitted there were blown calls that changed the outcome of two games. [Read more…]
Ladewski: Postseason without Celtics, Lakers? Parish the Thought
I know you’re out there, so fess up. You’re a basketball fan who falls into one of three categories: You either love the Boston Celtics and hate the Los Angeles Lakers, or embrace the Lakers and despise the Celtics, or throw poison darts at both of them. Well, I hate to break this to you, Jim Mora breath, but you may be very disappointed this spring. Playoffs?! You mean the Celtics and the Lakers won’t be in the playoffs?! Both of them?

Geltzeiler: Which NBA Coaches are on the Hot Seat?
This has been a unique season in terms of NBA coaching firings. There are always coaches who buy it somewhat early in the season (think Paul Westphal last season for Sacramento.)

SH Blog: Stoudemire set to make season debut, Vucevic has record-breaking night
All season long, the relevant topic in hand for the New York Knicks has been this: Can the pairing of Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony still be successful?

SH Blog: Kyrie Irving’s an All-Star, but still has work to do defensively
This past week, the NBA’s second returns of All-Star voting were made public. To nobody’s surprise, with 258,193 tallies, Kyrie Irving was fourth in voting among Eastern Conference guards – well behind Dwyane Wade, Rajon Rondo and Deron Williams but comfortably ahead of Monta Ellis, Raymond Felton and Jrue Holiday. [Read more…]
Bernucca: Why are Warriors the NBA’s biggest surprise?
The best team flying under the radar has two rookies in its starting lineup. But it’s not the Charlotte Bobcats. It is missing its oft-injured big man. But it’s not the Philadelphia 76ers. It has All-Star candidates at point guard and power forward. But it’s not the Los Angeles Clippers. It is an original NBA franchise that has not won a title since the 1970s. But it’s not the New York Knicks. [Read more…]
