West started his NBA career with the Boston Celtics and is seems as if things have come full circle now that he has ended up under Coach Doc Rivers once again. In the last three games of his return since being out with a fractured right wrist for an extended period of time, West has had pretty sound performances against the Clippers and the Nuggets. Sadly, injury has threatened his playing time once again [..]

The New York Knicks defeat the Miami 91-86, for their 2nd straight victory vs. the Heat.  The season series is now tied 2-2.

Carmelo Anthony said “this is a statement game” going in.  Melo went out and backed it up.  He played great defense down the stretch on LeBron James, and stepped up to the challenge with 29-pts, 9 rebs, & 2assts. [..]

Sitting home, fresh off  a lil’ road-trip, I made it in the crib just in time to catch the Knicks-Heat.  So I turn to MSG (Channel 78) on Fios.  The game looked grainy, like watching tv in a steam-room, crazy…but I watch anyway.

I start thinking to myself as I hear Clyde’s voice in the background spitting that jive talk, [..]

Bryant and Duncan are the last of the old-school superstars. The superstars who believed real men, players serious about their legacy in the game, don’t change teams just because they would rather play with their buddies.  [..]

Of course that is the last thing you want to hear as a New York fan. That you’re newly recruited king is suffering from right elbow pain. He informed his coach that the pain stemmed from a lingering bursa sac problem [..]

So Williams was traded by the Jazz to New Jersey, which isn’t New York, but it’s close. And if the Nets can’t acquire a superstar running mate, or two, for Williams before he becomes a free agent after next season, well, Stoudemire and Anthony could use a point guard in New York.  [..]

Predicted division alignments in the NBA five years from now:

East: New York, Boston, New Jersey

Midwest: Chicago, Dallas, Miami

West: Lakers, Phoenix, San Antonio [..]

This was coming to a head eventually. With all of the issues that John Kuester has presented to the Detroit Pistons players, it is no surprise that many of the stars decided to miss a shoot-around in what seemed to be a protest of their head coach. Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince, two of the main names that had been floating around before the trade deadline passed, were already questionable due to prior injury and Tracy McGrady [..]

It was a grim day for Celtics players, who mourned the loss of their friends & fellow teammates Kendrick Perkins & Nate Robinson, in a jaw-dropping; unexpected trade to the OKC Thunder yesterday for Jeff Green & Nenad Krstic.  Then to add insult to injury, [..]
