Kris Humphries
Brooklyn Nets power forward Kris Humphries noticed something that many Suns fans – fans in general, actually – may have noticed in the Lakers first game of the season against the Mavericks on opening night: Steve Nash was hardly noticeable half the time, except when the opposition was repeatedly scoring on him. This is certainly not what we expected when news broke over the summer that Nash was headed to Los Angeles. This is not why Chris Sheridan thought this

Page 3 is my FanDuel lineup for tonight — yes, there are one-day leagues, even with only three games on the schedule. The $1,000 Tournament for Sheridan

Hubbard: Mavs season will be a Grand Experiment

by

DALLAS – The grand experiment begins today with the first day of training camp. Call Mark Cuban, Donnie Nelson and Rick Carlisle crazy, but they believe they have found an alternative recipe for championship success. 1. Take a superstar who may be starting to decline but still is near the top of his game. 2. Add a one-time prolific offensive player who has discovered the joy of defense. 3. Toss in a point guard from Indiana, a shooting guard from Memphis, a center from

Preseason playoff picture: Western Conference

by

Think your team is making the playoffs in the West this season? If you don’t live in L.A., you sure about that? If your team is the Dallas Mavericks or Utah Jazz, you shouldn’t be so sure.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets are in. Each

If you are a well-known individual, you may want to think twice before bad-mouthing the Mavericks on twitter because Cuban and Kaman will apparently team up to insult you back, and they will insult you back hard. Simmons probably
