Tom Izzo announced this evening that he will decline the opportunity to coach the Cleveland Cavaliers and will, instead, continue on as coach of the Michigan State Spartans. All well and good; in fact, I believe this is the right decision, but does this indicate that, perhaps, Izzo has a feeling that LeBron will be moving on? Sure, he said all the right things — how he didn't speak to James, and ...

6:15 p.m PST: So here we are. This could be the final game of this NBA season. Sorry for the short delay. We are in the first quarter Los Angeles leads Boston 14-12.  6:17: Lakers have scored eight straight. However, the Celtics have won two straight and now lead this series three games to two as the teams are now headed back to Hollywood for the series' final two games. 18-12. 6:19: ...

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo, who has led the Spartans to six Final Four appearances in 12 seasons including a national championship in 2000, has turned down an offer to become the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Detroit Free Press and ESPN report. The announcement will be made official at an 8:30 PM ET press conference (5:30 PM PT). Now the underlying question is "What effect will this decision have ...

You read it correctly. The Chicago Bulls should not pull the trigger on LeBron James in this offseason's upcoming free agency. After taking notes from the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers in this year's final match-up, I've came to the conclusion of many points including individuals that are obvious. So this is what I've attained: #1 | One player doesn't make a team,which is pretty obvious. The Kobe saga has always ...

Houston.... I mean Cleveland, you have a problem. As free agency looms and the three ring circus begins to setup around LeBron James, the Cavaliers' superstar forward is becoming the team's number one problem. Yes, it is almost blasphemy to a Cavaliers fan to even think that LeBron could be a problem.  To me it seems that two things remain clear. The Cavaliers have ...

The 2010 NBA Finals have been full of drama and that is what we have come to expect anytime the Lakers and Celtics play for the NBA title. The Lakers and Celtics are the two most storied franchises in the league, no team has won more titles than these two teams. This series can be decided tonight if the Celtics can win Game 6 in LA. But the ...

It's been awhile since Steve Kerr found himself celebrating a championship. Apparently he won't be doing it with the Phoenix Suns. According to an article posted here , the Suns General Manager and President of Basketball Operations will call it quits when his contract expires at the end of June. While the former Bulls and Spurs champion sharp-shooter and role-player has felt the glow of an NBA Finals victory, his days ...

Probably not. But Lakers fans shouldn’t give up hope—at least not until 9:00 PM tonight. The Celtics have proven that they are stronger, quicker and tougher than the Lakers.  Considering the up and down season they have had, the Celtics are also more resilient and certainly more energized. I’m not saying this because I’m some kind of Boston homer. I’m not. But I do enjoy watching them play ...

The great Michael Jordan always had Scottie Pippen for his championship runs. A side kick to the greatest player of all time, Pippen was a seven time All Star and eight time All-Defensive NBA First Teamer himself. But team's win championships, not individuals.   The Bulls had one of the greatest rebounding forwards in the game in Dennis Rodman and two great shooters in Steve Kerr and Toni Kukoc. The list continues, but that ...

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that a press conference will happen either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, at which Michigan State's Tom Izzo will announce that he has turned down the Cleveland Cavaliers' offer to make him their head coach. Fans in Chicago and New York should be thrilled. Izzo was the clear favorite for the job in Cleveland, with both the MSU diploma on the wall in the owner's office ...
