Dwayne Wade is throwing away diamonds. He's skipping them along the Mississippi River and watching them sink to the bottom lost forever, just like his useless 46 point, 5 assist, 5 rebound game yesterday against the Celtics. It was a great performance, a virtuoso excelling, performing his craft at the most unbelievable of levels, leaving mouths agape, jaws on the floor, and eyes dangling out ...

Why the Indiana Pacers Won’t, and Shouldn’t, Draft Gordon Hayward
Posted: 26th April 2010 by Josh Dhani in NBA
Ever since Butler's PF Gordon Hayward declared for the NBA Draft, a lot of rumors have been heating up that the Indiana Pacers will pick him up.
Oh really?
First of all, Hayward is projected as the No. 14 overall pick in the draft. Though the Pacers are projected as the No. 10 overall pick, it doesn't mean they can't get him, it's just that they shouldn't.

The Miami Heat coach, Eric Spoelstra, usually rests Wade at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Last night it had to be different. It had to go that way because the Miami Heat were in desperation mode.
The Celtics could ...

Not me.
I call him the "Akron Hammer," the nickname given to him by Sportsnation 's Michelle Beadle.
The name fits perfectly. He was born in Akron, Ohio. Cleveland is not too far away from Akron. And every time he dunks, he bangs it in, like a hammer.
Beadle's co-worker, Colin Cowherd, does not like ...
