Everyone hates this deal, but we think we’ve got it figured out, and it’s all about two words: ANGRY SHAQ.
If the Suns figure it’s now or never time, ie they need to win it this year, then Angry Shaq might be the best way to do it, plus they don’t really need him on the […]

While the biggest and brightest game of the night was obviously GSW-DAL and the Baron Davis Hamstring Saga, the lead-in to that was another good one from probably the most overlooked series of the first round: Utah-Houston.
After the Jazz win of evening the last, this thing is going 7 games…but nobody’s really talking about […]

Tracy McGrady gave the Mavs everything he could last night - tons of points, tons of other statistics, even the thrill of a possible back injury resurgence.
It wasn’t enough to take down the state-rival Dallas Mavericks, though. Not enough by far.
We wrote once of this man McGrady and how well he was playing without […]

We appreciate all the emails asking that we return. We shall…as shall our small orange friend. You know him - the one who’s been given the boot by David Stern. Watch and…enjoy your holidays.

Thanks for your patience, as well as all of your emails/support regarding Scoopapalooza. We’ll wade through them soon and wrap up the […]

We thought this was dead, but it seems our unofficial claim to fame has returned…in a way.
With Tracy McGrady and the Rockets in NYC to face the Knicks tonight, we thought it was the right time to point out the situation to your left.
We initially thought those were knee braces, but upon closer inspection of […]

Sorry about the headline - don’t get all worked up.
This isn’t happening like, immediately. Sooner than we’d all like to think, though.
Last night during the TNT showing of Bulls v Rockets, Tracy McGrady stated that he plans to retire when his current contract is up.
That’s three years from now, when he’ll be only […]

Last night ESPN had a special Sunday NBA broadcast, in celebration of the big game between Shaq’s Heat and Yao’s (aka “not T-Mac’s”) Rockets.
What 2-3 years ago was an epic battle between the league’s last great center and it’s potential next great center is now, unfortunately, a one-sided slap-fight attended by the league’s only great […]

The Mavs and Rockets played last night in - wait for it - TEXAS.
It was definitely a statement game of some kind, and what we’ve struggled with the past three-plus minutes or so is who exactly it was a statement game for.
First, let’s get the result. Houston blew out Dallas, taking an early 12-0 lead […]

In the ongoing quest to make T-Mac a happy person, the Rockets managed to scoop up enigmatic free-agent forward Bonzi Wells, signing him to a 2-year deal worth some amount of money that we don’t feel like looking up.
What we do know for sure is that the deal is much less than the 5-year, $36M […]

With like the one off day in international competition happening today, we thought we’d update you on the latest in NBA gaming, as most of the 2007 editions are starting to promote themselves online. (Because they’re alive.)
We’ve always been partial to the NBA Live series, although right now we’re a bit intrigued by NBA 2K7, […]
