by Alex Holter on November 29, 2012

It’s seems like everyone in the basketball world is aware the Chicago Bulls are out of title contention this year, except for head coach Tom Thibodeau. Game after game the Bulls milk their starters as if they didn’t already have an injury prone team. It has become clear Thibodeau needs to stop playing for every regular season win and start developing chemistry among the bench unit.

DRAFT PREVIEW: NBA Mock Draft

by Shaun on June 26, 2012

NBA MOCK DRAFT BY SHAUN
Anthony Davis

  1. New Orleans New Orleans | Anthony Davis | 6-10 | 222 | PF | Kentucky | 19

Consensus #1 Pick, 100% sure he will be selected here and has not worked out for any other team.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

  2. Charlotte Charlotte | Michael Kidd-Gilchrist | 6-7 | 233 | SF | Kentucky | 18

I think MJ will take MKG under his wing and try to develop him into a star. Has the attributes to defend, rebound and attack the basket, however he has an unusual shooting stroke. With the help of MJ, this can be corrected at the age of 18, as he has plenty of time to develop. May reach for Beal for greater offensive power or a big man in Robinson.

The guys on ESPN’s First Take decided they wanted to play with fire on the Friday episode of their show, so they interviewed Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Live. In studio. Mere feet from Skip Bayless’ exposed jugular.

I’m here to report that Skip and all of his limbs are fine, but his pride, well, that’s another story.

When the topic of LeBron James came up, Cuban wasted no time verbally destroying Bayless, an outspoken critic of James, about speaking in only generalities in his basketball analysis.

Thunder Complete First-Round Sweep of Mavericks

by Ben Millikan on May 6, 2012

The Dallas Mavericks have been dethroned. Eliminated. They’re finished. Whatever term you wish to use to describe it—and sorry, Mavs fans, there’s no euphemism great enough to lessen the blow—the Mavs’ 2012 season is over.

Yes, the defending champs didn’t do much defending in the 2012 NBA playoffs, getting swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in four straight games. However, with the exception of Game 3, the Mavs hung tough with the Thunder, losing by less than six points in the other three. But they failed to show the same dominance that made them champions in 2011, ultimately resulting in a 103-97 loss Saturday night in Dallas that led to their demise.

Miami and OKC Heading For Sweeps

by Patton on May 4, 2012

With another win for both of them last night, the Thunder and the Heat are but one win away from sweeping their first round playoff series.  If you look at the Thunder and Mavericks it’s confusing because the Mavericks should be able to do something with the Thunder.  However, the Knicks, they’re just a mess.  There was so much promise, but now there’s not.  Why is that?
