The Nets and Heat tip off tonight in Miami, and it’s fun to play the game of “Who’s it less painful to root for: Pat Riley or Vince Carter?” Tough call, really; we tend to veer toward cutting Vince Carter some slack, if just because the guy clearly knows... Link

So BV did his draft recap and now it’s my turn. Like he said, we start 10 players (PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, UT, UT), with three bench spots, 12 teams. So it’s a pretty deep league, and it’s very competitive. Hard to slip sleepers past... Link
Boston Celtics What can i say about the Celts? I'm confused by this team year after year. It's nice to see them do well, but sometimes i have to wonder how they do it? Paul Pierce of course is the only consistent scorer Celtics fans have known for... Link
After getting out to a sluggish (to say the least) 11-17 start, the Nets called in ... Vince Carter? Yes, the same enigmatic Vince Carter who allegedly dogged it for the Raptors provided the Nets with a reinvigorated spirit, clicking with Nets star point guard Jason Kidd immediately.... Link
Ah, the shooting guard. Perhaps the deepest of all the positions. But that doesn’t mean you can wait ‘till the end of the draft to take one. If you’ve done your research, and if you can afford to do so, grabbing an elite SG early in the draft can... Link

Is it ever really too early to do a mock draft? Absolutely not. Especially with training camp starting next week, and the season only about a month away. So what we’re going to do is spend this week going through a mini-mock draft. Today we’ll do rounds one and... Link

It's with a heavy heart that this 15th edition of the Carnival of the NBA comes to you. All our minds are on not the hoops world, but the Gulf Coast. It's the most horrible tragedy of my life by far, and I have to admit my eyes have... Link

After four seasons in New Jersey and a decade into his NBA career, Jason Kidd is a little upset that he isn't any closer to a championship trophy. It was obvious Sunday after Miami swept the Nets in the first round of the playoffs, and again Monday as the... Link
One of the luckiest bounces of Vince Carter's career - five or six bounces, actually - couldn't keep the New Jersey Nets from falling behind 3-0 to the Miami Heat. Carter forced double overtime with a shot that danced all around the backboard and rim before dropping through, but... Link
First off, I have to comment on the Heat-Nets game, since it was the only one on “broadcast” TV… that’s right - no cable for me. I might have been tempted to go to a sports/alcohol venue to view the remaining games of the evening, but it’s Sunday, and... Link
