In the Lakers’ 120-117 win over the Timberwolves last night, Kobe Bryant fouled Ricky Rubio on a three point attempt in the closing seconds of the game. But the thing is, the referees didn’t call it. From their perspective, there was no foul. But all that was needed to confirm that they made a bad mistake was one replay. It was that clear. And upon further review, the NBA released [...]

I’m not usually a big fan of half-court buzzer beaters because, unless you’re that guy who hit the right hand hook shot for $75,000 at half-time of that Heat game a week ago, then they are just lucky shots. But when they happen to come in the closing seconds of a close game, it’s a different story. Sure, [...]

Since making his long awaited return on December 15th, Ricky Rubio has been slowly working his way back into basketball shape. It’s going to take him a while and along the way, he’s going to make some mistakes (take his 2.4 turnovers per game as an example), but last night against the Clippers, he made the worst basketball mistake of them all – bricking a wide [...]

At least Timberwolves fans won’t hate me for it. [...]

Kevin Love is in the dog house right now. After his highly critical interview about the Timberwolves with Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Love tried to clarify his statements by saying things like “I’d love to end my career as a Timberwolf” and “I do believe this is the closest-knit team that we have.” But according to the crowds reaction [...]

The last time we saw Brandon Roy was on November 9th against the Indiana Pacers. The three time all-star has since undergone his seventh career arthroscopy surgery and has faced over 1,000 questions on whether or not he believes this is the nail in the coffin. Whilst [...]
