Nicolas Batum: The high flying Frenchmen is the mainstay in the Trailblazers starting lineup. He is a big reason why the team isn’t looking for perimeter help, despite key subtractions to the Portland roster including Travis Outlaw and Martell Webster, as well as the numerous trade requests from Rudy Fernandez. Though Batum is usually touted [...]

The FIBA World Championships are “a JV tournament compared to the Olympics.” At least that’s what Pardon The Interruption’s Tony Kornheiser thinks. He said so on the 9/13/10 episode of the popular ESPN show which he co-hosts alongside Michael Wilbon. And who can blame him. In the past, American hoops fans have associated success on [...]

Prior to game 2 of the NBA Finals, Doc Rivers talked about not making drastic adjustments to their Finals’ game plan.

There has been plenty of talk regarding coach Alvin Gentry and the Suns moving to a zone defense to slow the Lakers’ offense down. In the past two games, both Suns’ victories, Phoenix has used a zone defense on occasion (much more in game 4) and many are arguing it is the key to their [...]
