Last night, the Washington Wizards surprised the country, and killed the hearts of New Jersey Nets fans by receiving the number one pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. Many people assume the Wizards will draft John Wall number one on June 24th but there are two reasons this may not be the case: Washington desperately needs to rebuild its team and one player simply isn't enough and the New Jersey Nets are ...

The next decade of Philadelphia 76ers basketball hinged on last night’s NBA draft lottery. They did not win the Powerball, but still took home the jackpot. The Sixers will select second in the 2010 NBA Draft next month, guaranteeing them a chance of selecting a future superstar for the next decade. That superstar will be Evan Turner. Turner was the best player in college basketball last season; averaging 20.4 points per game, 9.2 rebounds ...

Now that the Wizards have landed the No. 1 overall pick despite only having a 10.3 percent chance to do so, they've won the right to draft John Wall if they so choose. If you listen to Wizards forward Andray Blatche, the Wizards "have no choice but to" draft Wall with the No. 1 pick.  That's despite the fact they have their incumbent point guard, Gilbert Arenas, returning from his year-long ...

Monday night, the Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant, led the Los Angeles Lakers in the Game One demolition of the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Finals by scoring 40 points and controlling the entire game.   Phoenix had no answer.     While everyone focused the week leading up to the game on the condition of Kobe’s knee, it is another injury that has plagued him all season and is almost mind-boggling that ...

The Washington Wizards won the NBA Lottery. So, that probably means John Wall is going to be a Washington Wizard. Well, I think this is one of the worst situations for John Wall. Will the Wizards make John Wall sit behind Gilbert Arenas? Remember, Gilbert Arenas is due to come back next year and play for the Washington Wizards. Here are the reasons why this ...

Entering the lottery, the Sixers were slated as the sixth-worst team in the league. Given that dubious distinction, there was only a six percent chance they would move up as high as the second overall pick, but that is exactly what happened. "We hope our fans are as excited by the outcome of tonight’s draft lottery as we are," said Sixers' Czar Ed Stefanski. "We are fortunate that the ...

Get ready. Yes, sports fans, get ready. Get ready for the national media's onslaught of John Wall. I'll try and desensitize it for you right now. John Wall John Wall John Wall Hopefully that helps. It's true that by the time late June rolls around, and the actual NBA draft takes place, the media will have you believing that John Wall is Magic Johnson, Jesus, and The Beatles all rolled into one. If tonight's draft lottery being marketed as ...

J.J. Redick's stock in Orlando may have just taken a dive. With the Magic down three and the time winding down, Redick pulled down a rebound and attempted to move the ball past the half-court line. He failed to do so and proceeded to call a timeout with three and a half seconds remaining. Oh, J.J. If Redick would have called the timeout immediately, the Magic would have been able to inbound the ...

These days, the masses gossip about LeBron James’ future, whether he’ll re-sign with Cleveland or depart emotionally to Chicago or even New York or wherever he decides to land come July 1, we are forced to neglect the undervalued franchise of the Eastern Conference. It’s fascinating that basketball lords deems the Boston Celtics as an aging, old, unhealthy and washed-up franchise, without enough in the tank to win its second ...

Wining just one of two in Orlando wasn't enough for the Boston Celtics. While most teams would be happy splitting two games on the road in a series, the Celtics smelled blood. And let's face it, Boston is peaking at the perfect time. Other than maybe the Lakers , Boston has the best starting five in the NBA. Now healthy, the Celtics have proven they are one of the best teams in the ...
