Will the Knicks and 76ers have a tank battle over Chicago?

With Miami's loss to Boston, the Bulls are locked into the #1 seed in the East. The 76ers already announced they'll rest Iguodala, Brand, and Williams in the final two games prior to the playoffs. Who could say they're tanking? Players typically go out there and try to win games, and coaches tank games by just not putting the best players on the floor. Or so goes the theory... Read more »

Hamilton leads team to victory despite failing to escape the Bogans role

Hamilton leads team to victory despite failing to escape the Bogans role
The Chicago Bulls, predictably, got their revenge on the New York Knicks despite the fact that Derrick Rose did not play. They were led by Rip Hamilton, who took on the task as primary offensive initiator in the third period and scored at will... Read more »

Bulls vs Knicks 8:30 on ESPN/WGN - Rose gametime decision with ankle sprain

The Bulls had their hearts broken in Derrick's return from injury, at least as much as any team with the best record in the NBA can have their heart broken in a regular season game, with a one point overtime loss... Read more »

Bulls vs Knicks 7pm on ESPN/CSN - Hype Linflated?

Is it just me or has the dust settled on the Jeremy Lin hype? Perhaps we're just used to the story, or perhaps New York's five straight losses have taken the shine off of his play. I'll say this, Carmelo couldn't have been put into a worse situation than to have the Knicks make a huge run behind Lin that ends as soon as he returns to the lineup... Read more »

Which teams would be hurt most by a lost season?

With the owners taking a hard lined stance on economic issues, insisting that they flip the entire revenue model on its head, there stands a good chance the NBA will be without basketball this year. If that's the case, who are the big losers... Read more »
