Jermaine O’Neal to undergo season-ending wrist surgery John Krolik Mar 19, 2012, 5:35 PM EDT Leave a comment From the Boston Herald’s Steve Bulpett: Jermaine O’Neal will have season-ending surgery on his left wrist. The 33-year old Boston Celtics center was once considered one of the game’s best big men, but O’Neal, who was drafted out of high school, aged quickly, and has not been a truly effective center for some time, although he has been able to provide size and decent defense in spot minutes over the last few seasons. This season, O’Neal has averaged just 5 poins per [...]

Warriors Fans Hijack Mullin Number Retirement to Boo Owner
Posted on 25 March 2012.
Warriors fans hijack Mullin number retirement to boo owner Kurt Helin Mar 20, 2012, 1:59 AM EDT 5 Comments I’ve never seen a number retirement ceremony go badly before. I have now.

We’ll all be forced to be back on Dwight Howard watch this summer, we can give it a rest until then. But during the whole Howard saga there was that report that the Magic told Howard if he signed an extension he could have say on who would be the coach and GM. Something everybody denied. Even though we know Van Gundy’s in your [...]

Derek Fisher Releases Statement on Signing with Thunder
Posted on 24 March 2012.
A statement from Derek Fisher gave a lot of us an odd flashback to the lockout, when as president of the players union he did that regularly, but he did it again upon signing with the Thunder. Here is the statement, via Sam Amick of Sports Illustrated. “I am extremely honored to announce that I will join the Oklahoma City Thunder in pursuit of the 2011-2012 Championship. What these players, coaches and front office have created is special. My representatives and I had conversations and offers from several teams, however, this just feels right and this is a choice I [...]

A Couple NCAA Sweet 16 Matchups Scouts Will Be Watching
Posted on 22 March 2012.
A couple NCAA Sweet 16 matchups scouts will be watching Kurt Helin Mar 22, 2012, 8:33 AM EDT Leave a comment NBA fans – and to some degree NBA GMs – do a lot of scouting during conference tournaments and the NCAA Tournament. They like seeing players they may draft respond to pressure situations against good competition. But for scouts, it rarely changes what they have thought about a player they have watched for a couple seasons now. Opinions are formed. Still, there are a couple matchups scouts want to see in the NCAA Sweet 16, something Chad Ford pointed [...]
