2010 NBA MOCK DRAFT (VERSION 1.1)
by DOUG FERGUSON 1) Washington Wizards- John Wall/PG/Kentucky Seems to be pretty much the consensus so who am I to argue with the masses…. 2) Philadelphia 76ers- Evan Turner/SG/Ohio State Alot of silly trade talk here but they will be just fine with Turner OR Cousins….they should feel extremely lucky to have this pick…. 3) New Jersey Nets- Demarcus Cousins/C/Kentucky If they pass on Cousins and take Favors they should report to the nearest bridge and jump off but it looks like they might…. 4) Minnesota Timberwolves- Derrick Favors/PF/Georgia Tech Kevin Love is one of the hottest names...

NBA TOP 3 DRAFT PICKS (WHY NOT COUSINS?)
by RAY MERNAGH Kind of an interesting bit of info came out recently — I think on SI.com — about the who the top 3 picks of the next NBA draft will be. The picks were John Wall, Wes Johnson and Evan Turner — with Wall probably being the top choice (something I’ve believed for a long time). But here’s the question I have: If you watched DeMarcus Cousins the last few times he’s been on TV, wouldn’t you be hard-pressed to maybe pull the trigger on him after Wall goes first? The guys a monster offensively and he’s still learning how to play. His motor... [Read more.]
NBE ASSOCIATION’S NBA ALL-STAR TEAMS
by DOUG FERGUSON I always tell everyone my girlfriend is basketball. It is fitting henceforth that this year I get to express my love for my babe on Valentine’s Day when the best in the world are all in same place. The 2010 NBA All-Star Game is February 14 in La Casa de Jerry Jones and here is the NBE All-Star Teams selected by a special panel. All ties were broken by me since it is my big day with the old bird. Please don’t mistake our list for that of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game as there is just one team with multiple representatives (Phoenix). That’s just the way... [Read more.]
Nate’s 41-Point Outburst, Hughes’ Benching Exposes D’Antoni’s Woes
By Zach Smart Is it really “nothing personal?” Mike D’Antoni claims Nate Robinson’s permanent perch in the D’Antoni Doghouse during a 14-game span in December was not personal. The decision to ditch Robinson in the doghouse, to bury him on the bench while players who’ve done considerably less for the organization ate up all his minutes, was solely based on D’Antoni trying to refine, regulate and unravel a winning formula in New York. D’Antoni was simply going with what works, living by the old cliche “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix... [Read more.]

Bulls Need to Say “Arrivederci” to Vinny
by DOUG FERGUSON I have been very vocal about my opposition to coaches in all sports being put on the chopping block without at least three years to implement what they want to do. But its clear when a team blows a 35 point lead with about 18 minutes to go your plan will never work regardless of how long the coach has to put it in place. I live in the Chicago and I will be the first to say that this decision has been a long time coming. If this was a one time thing for Vinny I would be completely on his side as I was when he had his timeout fiasco last season. Everyone makes mistakes. This is more... [Read more.]
1ST QUARTER NBA REPORT CARDS
by DOUG FERGUSON If this was a horse race we would be seeing who was setting the pace and as is commonplace in these times it is the Boston Celtics. God bless the Celtics for getting another championship and a well-deserved ring for Kevin Garnett, but I hope the Boston fans remember how bad they were a few years ago because those times aren’t that far from being a way of life again. Anyways some teams have a brand new “my son made the Honor Roll in the NBA” and some are just hoping their parents forgot that its report card day so they can go to Suzie’s party tomorrow...

ZSMART & NBA SULLY’S FAKEST TOUGH GUYS
By Zach Smart ZSMART’s Fakest G’s Of The League: 1. Jason “White Chocolate” Williams: The only dude this cat after got after it with was a Chinese fan who told him to get used to having bench splinters instantly inserted in his ass (though not in those words). JWill responded by verbally ambushing the peaceful man, a Golden State Warriors loyalist who was shocked by no.55’s racist, profanity-laced tirade. This incident took place back in 2001 when JWILL was getting his NBA teeth cut alongside Chris Webber in SacTown. [Read more.] Read More →
