Jamal Crawford believes better times are ahead for Ben Gordon, who will play for the Charlotte Bobcats come next season. Although Gordon failed to produce last season as a starter, it’s possible that he may not have been prepared for the truncated season – he expected the lockout to last for two seasons. Why Joe Dumars signed him to a $55 million contract in the first place remains a mystery, given the fact that Richard Hamilton was still on

Gordon and future unprotected 1st rounder traded to Bobcats for Maggette

by

Ben Gordon was once the linchpin of the Detroit Pistons’ rebuilding plan after their long run of Eastern Conference finals appearances ended. He turned out to be such a bad signing – OK, not as bad as Charlie Villanueva that same summer of 2009 – that Joe Dumars had to sacrifice a future No. 1 pick just to get rid of him. The Pistons traded Gordon to the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday for Corey Maggette, another free agent bust from a couple

Best NBA Finals Game 5s of the David Stern Era

by

The two best words in sports are Game Seven. When it comes to the NBA Finals, Game 5 isn’t too bad, either. Either one team has a 3-1 lead, which means the trailing team will scratch, claw, bite, fight and cheat to stay win. Or the teams are tied 2-2, which means both teams will scratch, claw, bite, fight and cheat to win. Our collection of the best Game Five showdowns of the David Stern Era includes three in which the series was

As we will do throughout the Finals, we have compiled a list of the five best Game 2’s since 1984, when David Stern became commissioner (and the playoffs went to a 16-team format). In all five games listed below, the team that

Hornets pull off big upset, winning by 13 at Denver

by

We begin today with a question for those of you with advanced math skills: What are the odds of a 13-point underdog winning by 13 points? It is a pertinent question as we move toward Friday the 13th (the first of three Friday the 13ths in this leap year preceding 2013), because the New Orleans Hornets’ bad luck streak came to a big end last night in Denver as they stunned the Nuggets 94-81 to snap a six-game losing streak. The Hornets

Silva Column: Rip Hamilton would be the right fit in Chicago

by

CHICAGO — One of the most talked about players at Bulls’ Media Day on Sunday wasn’t even on the roster – or at least not yet. Richard Hamilton commanded quite an amount of attention at the Berto Center, as the former All-Star guard awaits a buyout to be finalized with the Detroit Pistons. Once he clears waivers, presumably in the next 48 hours, Hamilton will be free to sign with any team, and multiple reports having him Chicago-bound. Based on the

If Nachbar returns to NBA, he’d say “Yo” to Brooklyn

by

By Chris Sheridan KAUNAS, Lithuania — Bostjan Nachbar indeed wants to get back into the NBA, and don’t be surprised if he ends up in one of three places: New Jersey, Toronto or Detroit. Nachbar, who has been working out for two weeks after having surgery to remove loose cartilage from his ankle, arrived Tuesday in this quaint Lithuanian city to provide color commentary for Slovenian television as his homeland plays in the quarterfinals. He has spent the past three years playing in Russia
