Ed Davis
Apparently, Ed Davis – upon further review – did not appreciate being spoken to in a bossy tone by teammate John Lucas III, who was mic’ed up by the team’s website during a recent Intrasquad Scrimmage. Here is the clip of The Most Interesting Man in the NBA, who sings along to every song completely off-key – perhaps just to see what it feels like: I’m sure Davis is making a friendly joke with his teammate Lucas, but “lil pea

To explain DeMar DeRozan’s anger towards ESPN’s John Hollinger, we’ll have to go back to what happened earlier on Wednesday. Toronto Sun writer Ryan Wolstat said Raptors head coach Dwane Casey was insulted by ESPN’s prediction of his team going 33-49 for the upcoming season. Here is exactly what Casey had to say on the matter: “I saw today someone predict we’re going to win 33 games, so, with that lack of respect, that should get us motivated to come in

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. Nowitzki and Love both are top-10 players whose presence instantly legitimizes their teams as playoff-worthy, regardless of the other 14 players sharing a locker room and airplane with them.

Preseason playoff picture: Eastern Conference

by

We already told you who we believe will make the playoffs in the Western Conference.  The picture in the Eastern Conference is a bit different. Just like the West, the East has six teams that are locks to play in May. They are the defending champion Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets, who last season weren’t in (a) Brooklyn or (b) the playoffs. You can find whatever real or imagined faults you’d like with those

NBA Free Agency: Who Still Needs What?

by

With the opening of training camps in late September, there is now more offseason behind us rather than in front of us. With six weeks to go, many teams are looking to fill the final spot or two on their rosters. And as we pointed out last week, there is not much to choose from. Although there has been talk about some of these teams possibly adding another player, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Golden State, Indiana, the Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis, New York, Oklahoma City

Tweet of the Day: Evan Turner

I'm glad Steve Nash is in the West still and not in Toronto next year or else the Raptors wouldve been even tougher to play!

Tweet of the Day goes to Evan Turner, who was happy to see Steve Nash stay on the West Coast. Had Nash gone to the Toronto Raptors, he would have become a division rival for Turner and the Philadelphia 76ers. It would have turned the Atlantic Division into one of the most competitive divisions in the league, given the fact that the Celtics are mostly keeping their core, the Knicks look to be more consistent next season with a
