Stan Van Gundy with hands

Welcome to the second installment of SheridanHoops Radio, which will be Monday-Friday throughout the 2012-2013 NBA season (with the exception of this week because of Hurricane Sandy). This show features former Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, RealGM’s Jarrod Rudolph, and the Orlando Sentinel’s Brian Schmitz. The show was hosted by Chris Sheridan and Brian Geltzeiler. After an offseason with tons of movement, highlighted by the trade of Dwight Howard and the firing of Stan Van Gundy, we brought in the former coach

Heisler: In Lakerdom, it’s already a long season

by

It was fun while it lasted, or can someone call the Lakers and tell them the season has started? Ending three months of post-resurrection celebration, the legends-in-their-own-minds are 0-10 this fall, losing eight exhibitions, getting turned every which way but loose in the opener by the Dirk-less Mavericks, then getting bombed, 116-106, in Portland by last season’s No. 11 team in the West. Of course, the Lakers have been here before, will be OK, etc. No, Coach Mike Brown isn’t in trouble. He’s

Lakers Lose Opener; Last Day to Enter $1,000 Fantasy Contest

by

This time it counts. The Lakers, 0-8 in the exhibition season, were supposed to turn it on and dominate the league. Not yet. Kobe Bryant played on that sore foot, scored 22 points but did nothing else to help his fantasy owners. Dwight Howard took all of one night to kill your FT% category, making a pathetic 3-14 from the stripe. He did have 19 PTS and 10 REB before fouling out. It was a tremendous upset for the injury-plagued

SH Blog: Ty Lawson signs contract extension with Nuggets, Granger out indefinitely

by

There are a number of noteworthy players that are on the verge of becoming a restricted free agent by season’s end, including guards Stephen Curry, Jrue Holiday, Brandon Jennings, Tyreke Evans and others. Why? Because their respective teams have yet to decide whether they are worth the long-term investment. James Harden was also among the boat of players looking to receive a contract extension, but we all know how that ended up (he is preparing to suit up for the

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

SH Blog: Harden was devastated and stunned after trade, Stoudemire to miss at least six weeks

by

It has been a couple of days now since the Thunder traded away a big part of their future in James Harden, but that hardly stopped anyone from still buzzing about it all. Who won the trade? Did the Thunder give up on their chance to contend after making it to the Finals last season over money? What does it mean for the Rockets, who suddenly look a whole lot more interesting? Our columnist Chris Bernucca was far from thrilled with the

Bernucca: Forget the championship, Thunder want a “sustainable team”

by

When the Oklahoma City Thunder traded James Harden on Saturday night, they revealed to everyone that they are a team far more concerned with the bottom line than the top of the heap. Probably a bit ahead of schedule, the Thunder reached the NBA Finals last season. As we have said before, they were a questionable foul call away from opening a 2-0 lead on the mighty Miami Heat that would have cultivated the doubt and derision that has swirled around

Geltzeiler: Who Will Get Traded? Who Will Have Breakout Season?

by

As much as I enjoy the NBA, there is a tedium to the preseason that only makes me feel dissatisfied. I’m that much closer to regular season basketball, but yet I don’t quite have it, kind of like Al Pacino and his retirement in The Godfather 3. Nonetheless, as we enter a new season, I’m always looking for players who will emerge as stars. I also look at who has a realistic chance of getting traded. And then I like to
