NBA Newsflash: All-Star Edition
Not since the 2000 slam dunk contest has the NBA All-star weekend been this riveting.

Game Recap: Knicks 103, Raptors 99
Oh, how I hate it when the Raptors play the Knicks. It’s the kind of game I just hate seeing because it’s ugly basketball on one side, and the Raptors can never seem to match them physically on the other side. Sure, the Raptors have won their share of games against them, but the games [...]

Deal Breakers
So the NBA trade deadline has come and gone, that’s just great. In the weeks leading up to that fateful Thursday we were lucky to see a swarm of deals go down, some we like, and some not so much. Last week, and of course the deadline itself, was no different. We here at HoopsAddict [...]

Strange Eastern Conference Trades
The Juan Dixon trade was a personnel move which saw Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo move a guy who didn’t want to be in Toronto anymore. Dixon, a guy that can’t play the point, is undersized at the two and a streaky shooter, was loved by few and but had the benefit of having a short [...]
For Phoenix, 30 Games Until the Truth Is Told
The Los Angeles Lakers were in an unenviable position last night in Phoenix. Win, and you’re supposed to because the Suns are getting acclimated to the Big Philanderer, Shaquille O’Neal. Lose, and Phoenix becomes an instant NBA media darling with O’Neal as a conquering hero. Fortunately LA won, 130-124, led by Kobe Bryant’s 41 points. [...]
Game Recap: Raptors 127, Magic 110
Defense? We don’t need no stinkin’ defense.
It was a little bit into the third quarter when I looked up at the scoreboard and poked my buddy at the shoulder. The board read that Chris Bosh had 29 points and I said to my friend, “Wow, I never realized he was even close to [...]

The Gap Between East and West
The Denver Nuggets are on pace to win 50 games this year and they are 1.5 games behind the Utah Jazz for first place in the Northwest division. Pretty successful season, right? One would assume so but as of All-Star weekend this put them at ninth place in the Western Conference, one spot out of [...]
