1. ATLANTA HAWKS (7), 8-2 – After defeating the Celtics on the road, the Hawks take over the top spot this week. They have a difficult slate of games this week, however, as they face the Blazers, Heat, and Rockets. Fortunately for them, they’re all home games.

Riding high off of the Yankees’ 27th World Series Championship, I was prepared to see a competitive Knicks squad that would attract marquee free agents this summer. While a playoff berth was unlikely, it wasn’t impossible. I figured the Knicks would finish the season with about 35 wins and 47 losses, but my hopes were dashed five [...]

1. PHOENIX SUNS (9), 6-1 – Despite getting smoked by the Magic in Orlando, the Suns made up for it by beating the Celtics on the road. Steve Nash is playing like an MVP and is shooting better from 3-point land than 2-point distance. Are the Suns for real? This week will be a good [...]

The 2009-2010 NBA season tips off tonight with quite possibly the best quartet of games you’ll find on any given day throughout the year.

Wednesday, July 22, 2009
Every rational basketball fan will admit that LeBron James is the best player in the world and that there really is no ceiling on his potential and abilities. However, the NBA is not a one-superstar-takes-it-all sport. Even Michael Jordan had a Top-50 All-Time Player and future Hall of Famer, Scottie Pippen (eligible in 2010), to [...]

Will we see these two form a powerhouse of their own in 2010? Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images With the Ron Artest and Rasheed Wallace signings, the basketball universe once again revolves around the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics.

Wow. After months of speculation that Shaquille O’Neal would be headed to Cleveland, it’s now finally official. The Diesel, the Big Aristotle, the big Shaqtus, is actually joining LeBron James and his kingdom. Phoenix got Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic back in return (so pretty much nobody). You know, a few years back it seemed [...]

Monday, June 22, 2009
Seth Wenig/AP The NBA Draft is this Thursday and there are numerous mock drafts out there speculating on who every team will take. Well, I’m gonna take a little different spin on it and decide who every team should draft. It’s basically if I was GM for every team, who I would take or what I’d [...]

Every year the NBA Playoffs brings out the best the League has to offer; the best players, the best coaches, and overall the best basketball of the season. But the NBA Playoffs also bring something else: the best basketball advertising campaigns of the year. This year was no different. Some of the most creative minds [...]
