Toronto is far from a gimme. The Suns could easily drop that one.

Channing always has a 20-30 game stretch where he plays atrocious basketball. Usually it happens in the second or third quarter of the season. This is the first year I can think of where it has happened to close the season. This is a little different through. Usually it is his shot that would abando...

Channing Frye's Blake Griffin stopping power has apparently been exhausted.

Bill Simmons of ESPN reported on Sunday that Steve Kerr would be a leading candidate to become head coach if Jackson is hired. Frank Isola of the New York Daily News also reports Kerr could be strongly considered. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/232363/Steve-Kerr-Could-Be-Knicks-Coaching-Candi...

It was the second straight game the Jayhawks played without center Joel Embiid, sidelined with a back injury suffered in last week’s loss to Oklahoma State. Embiid will fly to California to see a back specialist on Monday morning. ‘We wanted to get a second opinion and wanted to send him to the ver...

Not a very good performance from Markieff.

Maybe not enough is being made of Thabo Sefalosha's absence.

And it wasn't like his team was feeding him the ball to just chuck jumpers trying to reach the record. He scored 45 points on 25 shots. 25. 2. 5. Ridiculous.

Dwight Howard is a goofball and a diva, but he gutted it out in LA when his back wasn't 100% and didn't use it as an excuse; if anything, that's the anti-LeBron.

Honestly Wiggins is the same guy he was at the beginning of the year. He looked great early on against Duke. There has been nothing wrong with him, he was just overhyped.

How do you know the return will be minimal? Time will tell. Obviously, McDonough doesn't agree with you. It looks as though you don't think Alex is the next Kevin McHale :cry: I guess both of you missed the part of my post where I said "generally." I wasn't talking about any specific play...

They always say (who's they?) big men take longer to develop. Look at Robin Lopez. He was so inconsistent for so long and now he seems to be a decent starting center for a very good Portland team. But generally speaking, if it's going to take a prospect 3-5 years to be just a solid NBA player, you ...

The newest sure-thing in the NBA is when LeBron James says he doesn't want to make excuses, he's about to make an excuse.

I don't think there is a single all-time great who is as lousy of a competitor as LeBron James.

I'm on record with wanting to move them, but if they are to be retained, I think that's about the neighborhood of fair compensation for them, as well as being a decent deal for the Suns. I'd probably want Kieff's deal to max out at $5.75 million.

Green hadn't done squat in the NBA until this season and Hornecek still had a long lesh with him and stayed with him taking terrible shots and portraying some low basketball IQ particularly early on. Green's been hitting shots all year long. Is he consistent? No. But he has shown from the very begi...

I really don't think his shot selection is any worse than Jamal Crawford, Brandon Jennings, JR Smith, Tony Wroten, Dion Waiters, or Russell Westbrook. And all of their coaches let them fire away.

Markieff at the 5 really isn't a sustainable recipe for success.

Awesome. Tyson Chandler slams Kevin Love during his halftime interview with a "he can't play D" blast.

Yeah, that's about what I would give him as well.

Al Jefferson is playing some great basketball. He has a 22.45 PER for the season. But the most impressive thing? He averages 1.5 turnovers per game. For someone that productive, that's incredible.
