A couple Rudy Gay tidbits today. First, there was the news – that really isn’t news – that Rudy Gay is having vision problems; but more interestingly, there was a discussion on the post-Rudy Gay era in Memphis. Magic Johnson, Michael Wilbon, and Jalen Rose feel that Memphis misses Rudy Gay; while Bill Simmons animatedly disagrees. On a personal note; ... Read More »

There were few surprises in yesterday’s annual season-ending press conference. There was the typical stuff from Colangelo and Casey that we hear every year, along with some comments that we’ve heard all season. “Our goal is to make the playoffs next season…. We’re on the right path”. Those were some of the typical Colangelo utterances . He also mentioned that ... Read More »

If they manage the sweep, it will be the first time in a decade that the Nets have managed to do this to the lottery-bound ... Read More »

The Bulls just looked too tired to compete with the Raptors tonight in Toronto. They were pushed to their limit the night before when they went into overtime against the New York Knicks, who were on a 13-game win streak at the time. The Raptors had an answer for everything the Bulls threw at them tonight. Chicago led by 2 ... Read More »

Last night, the Chicago Bulls snapped the New York Knicks 13-game win streak. Earlier this season, they also halted the Miami Heat’s 27-game tear. However, they have encountered trouble with the lower ranked teams rather than the better ones. They have defeated the four teams ahead of them during the past three weeks but, for example, lost to the Raptors ... Read More »
