The NBA felt collect goosebumps last night as budding star Harrison Barnes laid motionless on the Oracle Arena floor. He left his feet to contest a Boris Diaw “drive” and ended up landing on his shoulder and head. Barnes ended up returning to the game, before leaving late with headaches. His concussion will be...

Following Miami’s loss in Game 1, the media was quick to interrogate starting point guard Mario Chalmers on Nate Robinson’s 27-point night and clutch shots to close out the game. “He was born a scorer” Chalmers admitted, while also pledging “I can guard him, it’s not a problem.” When Game 2 started with Robinson blowing...

The Game 3 doubleheader on Saturday is Knicks at Pacers / Thunder at Grizzlies, with both series tied at 1-1. As spicy as that already sounds, there could be even MORE reason to expect fireworks. With 1:19 left in the 3rd quarter of Game 2, the Knicks were leading 67-64. Kenyon Martin...

Haven’t we been down this road before in Golden State? Didn’t the Warriors make a decision last year to move away from a small lineup, specifically a small backcourt?? Mark Jackson once started two six-footers, Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis. That was, until he followed MY advice. The team finally came to...

The Spurs lead the Lakers 2-0 in their first round playoff series, despite a more inspired group from Los Angeles on Wednesday night. The road team made a conscious effort to get the ball to Dwight Howard early on in the game. However, he finished with only 12 shot attempts for the second game in...

I would like to send a message out to all my countrymen in Serbia and Montenegro who have their sights set on an NBA career: If you want to win the league’s Most Improved Player award, drop the “vic” from your name. Last year, I lamented the fact that the American-born, one-dimensional Ryan Anderson won...
