Carmelo Anthony: Why He’s Not Overrated and Why He’s Better Than Kevin Durant Carmelo Anthony, kevin durant, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
July 1st has come and gone. NBA fans didn't get free agency. Instead, they got a lockout.July 8th has come and gone. Impact free agents—such as the Denver Nuggets Nene and the Atlanta Hawks' Jamal Crawford—haven't been able to communicate with NBA teams, much less sign new contracts.August 1st has come and gone. The NBPA met with the league's leadership, but instead of moving closer toward a new collective bargaining agreement, we were left with the NBA filing an unfair labor practice charge and a federal lawsuit, both asserting that the NBPA is negotiating in bad faith.In New York City, ...

NBA Playoffs Picks Sunday: Spurs/Grizzlies, Knicks/Celtics, Nuggets/Thunder Amare Stoudemire, Basketball, Carmelo Anthony, kevin durant, Kevin Garnett, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Stats | Comments Off
After a 2-1 day yesterday, let’s see what I can pull off on the second day of the NBA playoffs. Here’s who I like: San Antonio Spurs vs. Memphis Grizzlies OVER 193: While the Spurs have historically been known for their defensive prowess, that hasn’t necessarily been the case this season. The Spurs are right about average in the league giving up 98 points per game, and Memphis is right behind at 97.6 PPG allowed. This figures to be an uptempo and high-scoring game, even with the talented Manu Ginobili doubtful for the Spurs. Zach Randolph has had a monster season, and ...

That's keeping my options open,'' Anthony said when asked if re-signing with the Nuggets remains one of his options. "Yeah (it's an option). When ...

by Chris TomassonFiled under: Knicks, FIBA, USA Basketball, FIBA World Championship ISTANBUL -- Nearly four decades after a game against the Soviet Union provided the most heated situation in Team USA history, the Americans had a love fest against the Russians. Well, it wouldn't have been one if they had lost. Playing Thursday exactly 38 years to the day after the controversial loss to the Soviet Union in the 1972 Olympics, the Americans fell behind Russia by five points in the second quarter. But they came back for an 89-79 win at the Sinan Erdem Dome to advance to a FIBA World ...

by Chris TomassonFiled under: Knicks, FIBA, USA Basketball, FIBA World ChampionshipISTANBUL -- Team USA watched film Wednesday from a game that wasn't even 38 hours old and from a game that was 38 years old. The fact video was seen from Russia's 78-56 win Monday over New Zealand was hardly surprising since the Americans face the Russians in a World Championship quarterfinal here Thursday. But head man Mike Krzyzewski and his coaching staff also had something else for the players to view. "They just showed us the video of the game when they had three chances to score and they scored and ...

Why was Melo such a hot topic on ESPN that morning? Because for the last week or so, all anyone's talked about is Anthony. There's a certain logic to do this. ...

Take a look at the point guards on America's roster. Chauncey Billups, Rajon Rondo and Derrick Rose combine for six NBA All-Star appearances. Russell Westbrook, Eric Gordon and Stephen Curry aren't too shabby either. Neither is Tyreke Evans, although he wouldn't be eligible for a 6-4 and under league due to being 6-6. As for post players, Team USA used to be deep, and that was even after all 12 Olympians from the ...
