Tweet of the Day: Damian Lillard’s Busy Weekend

by

The Inside the NBA crew took to the airwaves, prior to Thursday night’s game between to the San Antonio Spurs and the Brooklyn Nets, to draft the BBVA Compass Rising Stars teams and announce the entrants in All-Star Saturday’s feature events—the Footlocker Three-Point Shootout and the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest. First up, the draft—which had some hilarious bickering between co-GMs Chris Webber and Kenny Smith over the first pick of the draft. Webber selected New Orleans Pelicans big man Anthony Davis without

Tweet of the Night: Chris Webber rips Pau Gasol and says he is not an elite big man

by

With Kobe Bryant out for the foreseeable future, Pau Gasol was supposed to be the No. 1 option for the Los Angeles Lakers to begin the season. Many wondered if the center would recapture his once-dominant form in a wide-open Mike D’Antoni offense. Thus far, the results have been spotty. Gasol’s work on the glass has been there through the first five games, averaging an impressive 10.4 rebounds in just 27 minutes of play. The ability to score has been another story,

Preseason Playoff Picture: Eastern Conference

by

Who is crashing the playoff party in the East this season? Conventional wisdom says the two-time defending champion Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets are head and shoulders above the rest of the Eastern Conference and – barring a disaster – will secure the top five spots. At the other end of the conference, you can probably toss out the Orlando Magic, Charlotte Bobcats and Philadelphia 76ers, who could pool their rosters to come up with

Preseason Playoff Picture: Western Conference

by

In a teleconference last week, we asked NBA analysts Chris Webber and Greg Anthony to pick a Western Conference team which missed the playoffs last season but will make the playoffs this season. “Dallas, mainly because of Dirk Nowitzki,” Webber said. “He’ll be back healthy. What he does, with spacing, getting guys involved … We take his game for granted.” “I would go with the Pelicans,” Anthony said. “I think that’s a team that could make sizeable leaps and surprise a lot

So, to fully understand this correctly: you can never lose a game if you outscore your opponents? Groundbreaking. In all seriousness, everyone has mental lapses from time to time, so lets give whoever provided the “stat” on twitter for the Nets PR Department a break on this one, and move onto something that was entirely more fun – Joe Johnson’s greatness when the game was on the line against the Milwaukee Bucks: [Read more…]

SH Blog: Bogut rips teammates for “horse bleep” defense, KG has cryptic message about his future

by

The Golden State Warriors are generally recognized as a very nice, non-confrontational type of group, led by their coach and pastor Mark Jackson, who will never use a curse word to get his point across. Apparently, that attitude does not fly with center Andrew Bogut, who went on a rant about the lack of defense played by his teammates after suffering another embarrassing defeat to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night at home. Here’s what he had to say, from Marcus

Talk about a harsh reality check by Chris Webber. The Los Angeles Lakers, who have suddenly transformed into a more watchable team with the development of Kobe Bryant’s incredible willingness to share the ball, didn’t get much love from C-Webb, who thinks the best-case scenario for them may be a first-round sweep by crosstown rival, the Los Angeles Clippers. Lets put aside the predictions for a minute, though, and talk about this borderline-unbelievable transformation of the Lakers Bryant, who suddenly thinks he
