Rose Defies Critics Sitting Tall
Posted on 10 May 2013 by Steven Keys.
“To (play) or not to (play), that is the (thorny) question” swirling around Derrick Rose and every NBA roundtable on the North American continent. The beef: Is the 2010-11 MVP still recuperating and wisely sitting out these playoffs or clutching to tight to fear of re-injuring his reconstructed and all important knee? Some trust Derrick in this dust-up. Rose is the patient. It’s his knee....

LeBron at the Crossroads
Posted on 17 Apr 2013 by Steven Keys.
“From a jack tooooo a kiiiiing.” That’s LeBron Raymone James. Country crooner Ned Miller could’ve been foretelling the odyssey of Miami’s majestic one with the title of his ‘62 crossover hit. From highly-touted high school phenom (Akron), to celebrated draftee (#1 ‘03), erstwhile underachiever (’07), scorned defector (MIA) and MVP totting NBA champ (’12), Le. James has finally...

NBA Feeling Lakers’ Pain
Posted on 7 Jan 2013 by Steven Keys.
“When America sneezes, the world catches cold.” That’s a variant of what Klemens von Metternich wrote about France during the Napoleonic period in the early 1800s. In the same vane, when the Los Angeles Lakers are under-the-weather all of basketball feels a tad queasy. With his title in tow, LeBron James may be the contented face of the NBA and other clubs can surely pack a punch, but if ...

What Bynum could mean to Sixers
Posted on 17 Dec 2012 by Michael Thibault.
Today, Andrew Bynum announced that he is “feeling much better”, and could possibly return to action soon. I think Sixers fans by now have learned to block these words out and stare down the realization that we probably won't be seeing our savior this season. But a small part of me believe's it this time. With the Sixers glaring at what could be a crippling schedule over the next mon...

Mike D’Antoni & L.A. Lakers star in The Italian Job
Posted on 18 Nov 2012 by Cal Lee.
Mike D'Antoni will be calling his first game as the head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Phoenix Suns tonight at the Staples Center. The expectations of success for the embattled head coach will be at its highest since his hiring was looked at as a means for Jim Buss to snub legendary head coach Phil Jackson over coaching this talented squad. Everyone in the NBA community knew the ...

Evan Turner is the Key to Success for Philadelphia
Posted on 27 Oct 2012 by Scott Lentz.
There is much to be excited about for Sixers fans as we head into the 2012-2013 season. As the Cinderella story of the Eastern Conference last season, the Sixers stunned the top-seeded Chicago Bulls in the first round of the playoffs (with some help from Derrick Rose's knee) and pushed the Boston Celtics to a deciding seventh game in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. The Sixers ranked 3rd o...

Lakers / Heat Stoke NBA ’12-13
Posted on 16 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
Consider this the year of LeBron. Not because he and his Heat team are a lock to repeat as champs in 2013. Au contraire, the new & improved Lakers will have a thing or two to say about who dons that crown come next June. Rather, it’s because this’ll be the first time in his 10-year NBA tenure that Mr. James can actually enjoy himself on a basketball court. Having garnered that elusive c...

Knicks Nix Jackson Deal?
Posted on 18 Jun 2012 by Steven Keys.
I’m not buying it, not for a second. I‘m not buying into any characterization of Phil Jackson’s recent HBO interview that claims he had no interest in the formerly vacant New York Knickerbockers head coaching position. The “Real Sports” conversation is scheduled to be aired on 6-19. By highlighting his use of the word “clumsy” when describing the Knicks in his talk with Andrea Kre...

NBA’s All-Time Best, Plus Teo
Posted on 16 Jun 2012 by Steven Keys.
With the word “legacy” being tossed about in these NBA Finals like it’s the only reason for living, I got to thinking of those players who set the legacy-bar in the pro game. Those memorables who’ve became the standard by which every aspiring superstar will eventually come to be measured. Aspirants in these Finals would be the reigning MVP LeBron James, ring-holder Dwyane Wade and their...
