So not long after talks with Avery Johnson fell through, it looks like the Pistons finally have their man in Cavs assistant John Kuester. Not being completely familiar with the … [Read more...] about Meet your new Pistons head coach Avery … er … John Kuester!

Why Are Caucasians Disinterested in the NBA?

By

By Paul M. Banks There’s a very popular website entitled “Stuff White People Like.” I’m guessing you won’t find the NBA featured there and that’s a crying shame because the Association’s level of play is as exciting and entertaining as it’s ever been!

Bucks Bet on Jennings and Meeks

By

By Thomas Lea Brandon Jennings took a chance when he bypassed a scholarship to the University of Arizona and the spotlight of Pac-10 basketball over a year ago in favor of playing professionally in Italy. So, I guess it makes sense that the former top rated high school product from Oak Hill Academy wound up with a team taking a chance on him during Thursday’s annual NBA … [Read more...] about Bucks Bet on Jennings and Meeks

Bulls Draft Moving Forward?

By

By Paul M. Banks In the NBA Draft, lying is the only truth. NBA GMs often tell the media they’ll be focusing on guards with their draft choices. Before they say they’re focusing on forwards. Or maybe centers. Others just go the “best player available” route. In this environment of doublespeak, it’s good to focus on need when attempting to predict where a team will go. And … [Read more...] about Bulls Draft Moving Forward?
