Bernucca: Do injuries to Love, Nowitzki change West playoff picture?

by

When we wrote last month that the Western Conference playoff picture would be filled in by the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves, it was assumed that both teams would have their alpha dogs at power forward. Now that Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Love are both out until at least December, that picture could be changing.

Diminished expectations for Love and Lin; Not so for Knicks

by

// At the top of our 2012-13 NBA wish list is the cessation of the overuse of the word “Linsanity.” We had enough of that last year, IMHO, and Lin should drop off the national radar once the fallout from his GQ cover article begins to subside.
