One thing is clear: the Lakers need to shakeup their roster and GM Mitch Kupchak noted that today. After getting bounced in the second round of the playoffs for the second year in a row, the Lakers are looking for answers. They tried to acquire Chris Paul but the league denied it. They were "shopping" Andrew Bynum, but only for Dwight Howard. They ended up keeping Bynum and he … [Read more...] about Will the Lakers trade Andrew Bynum?

NBA Playoffs: Clippers Prove That Anything Is Possible
As I turned off my television and closed my eyes, I had an uneasy feeling. Ten minutes later, I sat up in my bed, reached for my phone and clicked on the ESPN app. I went to the NBA homepage and clicked on the "scores" tab.

The Closest Thing to Michael Jordan? It’s NOT About the Numbers!
No one will ever be what Michael Jordan was to the Chicago Bulls, NBA, or basketball in general. Several great players have been compared to Jordan, most notably Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. Everyone thought that James was going to be the next Jordan when he entered the league. Nine years later, James hasn’t accomplished anything more than a couple of MVP awards and two … [Read more...] about The Closest Thing to Michael Jordan? It’s NOT About the Numbers!
Must Watch Kevin Garnett Postgame Interview (Video)
Boston Celtics superstar Kevin Garnett gave us something last night that America has lacked for decades- a good, fun to watch postgame interview. In fact this one, which you can watch after the jump, is much better than the "anything is POSSSSSSIBLE" interview from the 2008 NBA Finals.

Carlos Boozer can be Robin to Derrick Rose’s Batman
So many failed experiments, and finally the Chicago Bulls have found their big man. By my count, I have ten failures by the organization at the power forward position: Elton Brand, Tyrus Thomas, Tyson Chandler, Drew Gooden, PJ Brown, Andres Nocioni, Michael Sweetney, Lonny Baxter, Antonio Davis and Donyell Marshall. Almost all were expected at one point to deliver the … [Read more...] about Carlos Boozer can be Robin to Derrick Rose’s Batman
Ray Allen shows “He Got Game”
Let’s face it, Game 1 of the NBA Finals was a dud. The Lakers dominated every aspect of the game, forcing us to hear the talk of a L.A. sweep. We also heard LeBron getting criticized for trying to overshadow the NBA Finals. If one man’s interview could overpower the biggest stage of basketball, then it isn’t LeBron’s fault, it’s the Celtics’ fault. If Boston was going to … [Read more...] about Ray Allen shows “He Got Game”
