Michael Redd is back home in Ohio recovering from a torn acl and mcl in his left knee which caused him to miss nearly the entire 2009-10 season.  It was the second time he suffered the injury to his left knee missing most of the 2008-09 season due to the same injury.   If Redd can rehabilitate his injury sufficiently to play during the 2010-11 NBA season Bucks general ...

This past season was a historic one for Rajon Rondo. In his fourth year, Rondo eclipsed career-highs in what seemed like every statistical category. His 36.6 minutes, 50-percent field goal percentage, 9.8 assists, 2.3 steals, and 13.7 points were all career bests for the former Kentucky Wildcat. Above all else, Rondo broke the Celtics franchise-record for assists in a season . His 794 assists surpassed the 60-year mark previously ...

If Hell Freezes over, and the NBA Draft Lottery actually works according to plan, my, and many other T-Wolves fan's, faith in the controversial system would be restored.    The Wolves would be assured of drafting either John Wall, whom many see as the prize of this class, or the “consolation prize,” Ohio State combo guard Evan Turner. While you likely cannot go wrong either way, Turner would better suit Minnesota ...

As the NBA playoffs march on, we are less than a month away from the ultimate prize: the NBA Finals. By now, it is clear which teams are contenders and which teams are pretenders. The playoffs have show a lot of squads true colors and just how deep their rosters are. With the Atlanta Hawks, who finished the Eastern Conference's third seed, down 0-3 in their series against the Magic, ...

LeBron James promised fans a "different monster" this post season. Since this proclamation, fans have only caught glimpses of said monster. The 2010 post season has been more of a Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde act, with unfortunately more of the easy going Dr. Jekyll showing up at tip-off than the fearsome Mr. Hyde. The monster, or Mr. Hyde, has shown its face in just three games. Games one ...

Imagine if the Mavs had gotten past the Spurs in Round One of the NBA Playoffs. How would they have fared against the Phoenix Suns? The Suns just advanced to the Western Conference Finals by ousting the Spurs, but would the outcome have been different had the Suns played Dallas?  Here's what the headline would have read: Steve Nash finally gets his revenge on Big D The Phoenix ...

Provo wasn’t the only place that gave a big sigh of relief when Jimmer Fredette decided to forgo a shot at the NBA this year and return to BYU for his senior season. Glens Falls, New York, Jimmer’s home town, can now officially look forward to one of the biggest sporting events in the history of the community. Fredette and the BYU Cougars are scheduled to play the Vermont Catamounts on ...

Note to self—do not go away again during a Boston Celtics playoff weekend. As much as I enjoyed my all too brief trip to New Orleans, great players build their legacies in the playoffs, and I missed two different players add to their own growing legacies in the two games I missed. On Friday night, in Game Three, it was LeBron James’ turn to respond to all the questions about his ...

In the 1970s, Campy Russell was a fixture at forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now a TV analyst for FOX Sports Ohio, Russell repeatedly leans on a favorite superlative to describe LeBron James and the Cavaliers in his post-game analyses: “Unbelievable.” As in: “LeBron played an unbelievable game.” Or, “Antawn Jamison was unbelievable tonight.” “Mo Williams was unbelievable from the three-point line,” he might gush. And so on. It occurred to me, after watching ...

Rajon Rondo might not be part of the “Big Three;” we might not even know the correct pronunciation of his name (is it Raw -jon ? Or Ray-jon ?), but he is the power behind this Boston Celtics team. And he is the reason the Celtics are currently tied 2-2 with the No. 1 seeded Cleveland Cavaliers. Rondo’s performance Sunday was nothing short of stellar as he engineered Boston’s 97-87 victory. His ...
