                           No the headline doesn’t indicate that the Detroit Pistons will participate on the popular NBC prime-time game show - yet it is so appropriate in their current situation.  Now that the NBA sea

When people talk about flopping in the NBA, they often talk about it like something that was invented by European players. Phil Jackson, for instance, joked that flopping fines should be expressed in Euros, not dollars. Is that kosher? Is it OK to...

Every Sunday, we’ll be updating the Nets’ off-season with bits and pieces of information, gossip, etc. to help take the edge off missing the playoffs, relying on the Nets’ beat reporters and others who have slipped interesting stuff into larger...
