It's Monday, and I have all the answers ... Let me get this right: The Bulls played better shorthanded twice -- jeez, did I ever look stupid predicting Friday that the Bulls would tank the game after the trade deadline to Denver -- because guys who were still around got a lot of minutes, but as ...

The dumbest thing the Washington Wizards could do right now is fire Eddie Jordan. Abe Pollin's history of patience with employees he likes -- and he loves this Jordan -- and Ernie Grunfeld's track record of making smart basketball decisions both suggest the Wizards will be too smart to finger Jordan...

The rule used to be, a coach got a one-year honeymoon and a general manager got a one-coach honeymoon. John Paxson has now gone through Bill Cartwright, Scott Skiles and Jim Boylan. I don't know what the rule is now, but I do know that Paxson probably has used up all the goodwill he banked as a cham...

But it's a whole other thing to absolutely refuse to play a whiff of defense, to refuse to body up, to refuse t...

So I was floating around the intertubes today when I stumbled across the "Magical Journey" of the 1998-99 Sioux City high school baskeball team.  Lead by none other than Kirk Hinrich, this $14.95 DVD contains: "Never released behind the scenes footage, interviews, and many basket...

Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich was added to the USA Basketball roster on Wednesday.   The addition of Hinrich comes one day after Orlando Magic rookie guard J.J. Redick announced he would not be able to participate in tryouts for Team USA due to a back injury.   Redick and forward Adam M...
