byChristopher Sells |  Sometimes things change. In the case of the Atlantic Division, they stay the same as they have been for the previous two seasons. It's Boston and everybody else..
|
byOly Sandor |  On the other hand, Webber’s overlooking two factors. First, consider the economy. Unlike the free spending days of the 1990s, the NBA - like the rest of the business world - is in a recession. With a declining salary cap, less money is available for all players, including the big ticket free agents of next summer (...).
|
byOly Sandor |  Their fortunes appeared to be changing, but then summer hit. Yao’s foot injury was worse than originally diagnosed and he’s out all of 2010. McGrady, after a summer rehabilitating his micro-fractured knee, is still questionable, while Ron Artest left Houston for the free agent riches and fame of Los Angeles (...).
|
byChristopher Sells |  It's hard to defend Isiah Thomas. Just as this was true on the basketball court for so many years, this is also the case in the court of public opinion now. He hasn't done himself many favors in the years following his retirement as a player who wasn't well-liked in the first place. There are many rumors and also a few truths that make Thomas one of the villains of basketball. That trend will (...).

byOly Sandor |  On Wednesday, Jackson’s Warriors met Bryant’s Lakers for the first time since his outlandish comments. While Bryant’s numbers were modest (21 points, five rebounds, and three assists), don’t think the All-World two-guard hasn’t taken note and won’t try to bust-up Jackson each time they meet for the rest of their careers. Having confidence is fine, but Jackson is now a target. Goading (...).
|
byJohn Nguyen |  These rankings do not reflect Hoopsvibe as a whole. Only me. 10) Brandon Roy WHY: He’s emerged as a franchise player. His numbers do the talking. Roy is very careful with the rock. Brandon is an all around solid guard whose numbers will rise. I’m just not sure if his assists will increase since they brought in Andre Miller. 9) Chris Bosh WHY: He can potentially put up 23 points, (...).
|
byOly Sandor |  And I’m not mad that Wallace - after years of deferring to others in Detroit - is re-energized and prepared to publicly discuss having success in Boston. However, I think he should reconsider his ‘Guaransheed‘. Sure, breaking the Bulls’ record would be nice, but it’s ultimately meaningless and unnecessary for the veteran Celtics (...).
|
byJohn Nguyen |  What’s wrong with having fresh new blood in the League of Extraordinary Ballplayers? Certain players, especially Derek Fisher of the Los Angeles Lakers, have voiced their thoughts about the use of replacement referees instead of the seasonal veteran referees. He labeled them as “unacceptable.” Here’s what he exactly said in its’ entirety, "We feel strongly (as players) (...).
|
byJohn Nguyen |  I’ll keep moving along since the NBA season is about to start. It’s only customary to input my predictions as well. There is no need to place $5 in this pool. Writer Christopher Sells has a nice list of predictions he put together. I did this last season, too. I want to renew my membership so here is my bucket list. Enjoy! First coach to be fired: Any coach working the Sacramento Kings (...).
|
byJohn Nguyen |  These rankings do not reflect Hoopsvibe as a whole. Only me. 30) Troy Murphy WHY: A consistent double double player who can hit the three pointer. He doesn’t turn over the ball a lot and hits the free throws with consistency. He doesn’t get much exposure since he balls in Indiana with Granger. Murphy is a solid underrated pick. 29) Dwight Howard WHY: He made it this season, folks! (...).
|
byJohn Nguyen |  These rankings do not reflect Hoopsvibe as a whole. Only me. 20) Kevin Garnett WHY: When he’s on the decline, his rank is on the decline. He’s getting old and Rasheed Wallace is there to share the load. Rajon Rondo putting in work will also have some kind of statistical decline among the rest of the Boston Celtics. 19) Steve Nash WHY: He was number 13 last year on my list. He will (...).
|
byJohn Nguyen |  Here’s the new rule: "A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball." All I got to say is “WOW.” The power of the crab dribble is deadly. Why in the hell are they doing this? Why? I’m shaking my freaking head here. They already get away with plenty before this. Now they’re (...).

by C.Y. EllisEBC Day Sixteen: Don Diva vs. Long Island’s Finest Regardless of who takes this evening's Game Two, I can tell you one thing for damn sure: The heat beat us all. Even with the hour hand nearing the vertical and the park floodlights turned halfway up, there's not an ass in the park that isn't (...)[+] by C.Y. EllisEBC Day Sixteen: Crusaders vs. Terror Squad Even with the summer sun now hidden behind a sheet of cloud, it's hot enough in the park that I could fry an egg on my forehead. The hellish temperatures have apparently scared the Terror Squad off tonight, and at 7:05 it's announced that the (...)[+] by C.Y. EllisEBC Day Fifteen: Crusaders vs. H3 The opening minutes see A-Butta steal the show with his usual array of crossovers, head-fakes and circus layups, but H3's apparent inability to play defence allow Crusaders to tie it up at 9-9 with a pair of free throws. Back-to-back pull-up (...)[+] by C.Y. EllisEBC Day Fifteen: Hot 97 vs. Pelle Pelle Posse Once again, Hot 97 get off to a sluggish start, and for the first few minutes of the contest they seem happy to watch the Pelle Pelle Posse with the rest of us.

EllisEBC Day Thirteen: Terror Squad vs. D Block If there's any testament to the importance of this game, it's that Ron Artest has come all the way from Las Vegas, where he's currently playing for the Kings' summer league team, to be here. Not in the park, however, is JR Smith, whose dunking (...)[+] 1 Comment(s)
