The Boston Celtics hope to make a late postseason run.    They acquired Nate Robinson in the trading deadline and hope he can re-energize the second unit, the Big Three (Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen) can find the fountain of youth, and Rasheed Wallace will show up in the playoffs.    They figure that with their stellar road record, seeding won’t really matter against some of the elite teams in the conference ...

The All-Star balloting has tipped off this season, and these faces should highlight the star-studded affair. á With the season already a month old, it only seems appropriate to start thinking about Dallas in February and the 2010 All-Star Game.á á Finally, we donÆt have to worry about injury-riddled players from the pastùlike Grant Hill or Vince Carterùearning starting slots.á Also, thanks to season-long injuries, thereá shouldnÆt be fear of global sensations like Yao ...

It has been well documented;the Los Angeles Clippers are a failing organization.á á It is almost as if anything and everything that touches the Clippers in any way, shape, or form, begins a slow steady decsent to a bitter state of constant failure. á Last season everything went wrong.á á Despite mentioning how he would like to pair up with another star or else heÆd leave, Elton Brand opted to sign in Philly. Corey Maggette has ...

He was a young teenager, an athlete full of potential and possibilities.    He was stellar on the baseball diamond, being named Mr. Baseball (an honor given to one of the top youths in little league) as a 12-year-old, but had recently started to turn even more heads on the basketball court.   An 11th-grader filled with hopes and dreams. Michael Jordan tried out for his high school’s varsity basketball team. He hustled, showed ...

There are plenty of teams in the league that have a direction, know where they are headed, and perhaps even have a backup plan if things don't necessarily succeed. Mitch Kupchak may regret the Ron Artest signing, but the Lakers are coming off a championship season and still have one of the premeir young big man in the league, Andrew Bynum.  Led by Bynum, Gasol, and Kobe (sorry...I can't type his name first), LA should ...

Jameer Nelson There is no question the Orlando Magic are in win-now mode.  They traded one of their premier prospects (Courtney Lee) for Vince Carter and severely exceeded to luxury tax haven with a plethora off-season signings.  Nelson could be the starting point guard for a win-now franchise, but do he and VC (I can hear the Nets PA guy now) really make sense in a backcourt together? They may, but they don’t ...
