Now we know the problem. Gilbert Arenas should have gotten injured before!! Without him, we are the best team in the NBA! Kidding! Though it was a great effort by the Wizards on Tuesday night, crushing the Nets at home by 20 points. It was a big win because... Link
And when I say "he," apparently I should be saying "they." Because, shock of the year, the day after Shaquille O'Neal returns from injury, Pat Riley returns from the tailor, and both are ready to make someserious impact on your fantasy team. With all the goings on in Miami,... Link
Chicago Kirk Hinrich’s a tough dude. After leaving the season opener with an ankle injury and being questionable the next night, he came out and went for 26 points on 8-of-13 shooting with 3 3s. After being knocked out with a concussion against Dallas, he did miss a game,... Link

This article does not reflect the views of our resident Heat booster, El Huracan Andreo.It's been a truly historic week for FreeDarko, so I thought I'd close it out by doing what I do best: saying something vague, brash, and inflammatory that will likely send our credibility into a... Link
Manu Ginobili?Don’t say we didn’t warn you. All through his playoff run, all through the offseason, we warned you. A super-hot playoff run doesn’t mean that those stats are going to carry over to the following season. But that said, I don’t think anyone expected a statistical drop like... Link
