Or it’s hustle. Or it’s motivational messages that fans cling to. Maybe it’s the facial expressions on players as they enter the court from a timeout. And the run-and-gun-Mike-D’Antoni shell? We haven’t seen it either. Rose is certainly doing his part, but this hardly resembles anything th...

Dallas Basketball breaks down some of the recent backlash from the Devin Harris-Jason Kidd trade from last season. Forum Blue & Gold recently compared the Los Angeles Lakers to Rudulph the Red Nose Reindeer. With Malice has an interesting look at what Christmas means.

Fast Breaks

There are reports going around that the Knicks may now make a play for Boris Diaw or Raja Bell in exchange for Eddy Curry. I realize that LeBron James, a few of the Celtics, Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant will get the majority of MVP votes this year.

Buzzer Beaters

One of my favourite aspects of having media credentials the past few seasons has been witnessing firsthand the Celtics locker room. Honestly, if walking through that locker room doesn’t give you goose bumps then you’re not a basketball fan. A couple weeks ago Holly MacKenzie summarized t...

Fast Breaking with the Nets

In the 113-84 win over the Timberwolves, the Nets received 10 or more points from seven different players as they shot over 50 percent from the floor. On the defensive end, they allowed Al Jefferson to get his points, but didn’t let anyone outside of Randy Foye hurt them.

So Long, Sam

Colangelo famously put together the Steve Nash-led run-and-gun Phoenix Suns. While that team owed a large part of its identity to Nash’s playing style and coach Mike D’Antoni’s “Seven Seconds of Less” system, it was Colangelo that was the architect who put the pieces in place for that run...

Lakers Look for Young Star to Rise

The Los Angeles Lakers are hoping to repeat their surprising run to the NBA Finals this season. Incredibly, their fate lies not in the shooting hand of Kobe Bryant, the legs of Pau Gasol, or even the shoulder Lamar Odom. Instead, the Lakers’ destiny rests on the knee of Andrew Bynum.

Opinion: Suns Eye Red Sox Blueprint

But not as painful as Suns-Spurs last year. First, Steve Nash was bloodied and forced to miss substantial time in the closing minutes of a Game 1 loss at home. Then, after scrapping to knot the series at 2-2, the Suns were hit with arguably one of the most unfair penalties in recent sports. As the...

This NBA Season Resembles Another in the Distant Past

The likeliest teams to advance to the Finals from the Western Conference are the Lakers, defending champion San Antonio, Phoenix and Dallas. At the moment Dallas is seventh, the Suns are sixth, and the Spurs are third. And it’s not as if it is impossible for three of the other four teams, New O...

For Phoenix, 30 Games Until the Truth Is Told

Perhaps that was truth spoken in a candid moment, perhaps it was a subtle swipe at Phoenix President of Basketball operations and GM Steve Kerr, who desperately sought O’Neal. Kerr’s vision is to turn the Suns into a team that averages two points less a game than they do now, but allow five po...

Podcast: Oden, Europe Live Tour and the Knicks

After taking a couple weeks off I was able to chat with D-Wil and record another Hoops Addict Podcast. We started our show today talking about Greg Odens surgery, what it means to the Blazers franchise, how the big man will bounce back and what this would have meant to the Sonics franchise if t...

Laying the Smackdown on the “Next” Generation

I have to be honest; I have not been following the NBA as much as I would like the past couple of weeks. The regular season is just too gosh darn long to keep my attention 24-7-82, however, I do read as much as I can (particularly Bill Simmons’ Basketball Blog) as part of my morning routine. I parti...

Game Recap: Suns 127, Wizards 105

After the game, I didn’t feel so bad, as Phoenix has done this to teams all year, but you still want to see your team do its best not to let things get out of hand. Hopefully, we’ll be refocused as we see Chris Webber and the new-look Pistons on Friday.

Hey! Whatever Happened To Dan Majerle?

In a knee-jerk trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Suns sent Dan to the Eastern Conference, where he teamed up with the likes of Terrell Brandon, Chris Mills and Tyrone Hill. That situation didn’t last long, as Dan was a free agent after that 1995 season to sign with Pat Riley and the Miam...
