The Nets now have a record of 23-15, which makes them second in their division and fourth in the Eastern Conference, sitting just two games behind the New York Knicks. You can thank new head coach P.J. Carlesimo for this drastic turn around. Before the firing of Avery Johnson the Nets were sitting with a below .500 record. Under Carlesimo, the Nets are a blistering 9-1. But all these successes are not just because of a coaching change. The players started to produce, especially Joe … Continued

The Lakers were worried about how the season started because this was one of the worst starts in Lakers history. But the real question is why. Why did the Lakers fire their head coach?

Shaq VS D12: The Battle of the Supermen

By

The sparks are flying between Hall of Fame center Shaquille O’Neal and newly acquired Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard. The Hall of Famer recently called out Howard, saying that he is not the best center in the NBA. O’Neal stated that Brook Lopez and ex-Laker Andrew Bynum are better centers than Howard.

Lopez has averaged 17.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in career, and Bynum has averaged 11.7 points and 7.8 rebounds. Howard, by comparison, … Continued
