The NBA's Biggest Surprise of 2012-2013: Omer Asik for Most Improved Player

To be honest, he wasn’t someone I had pegged for much success in 2012-13. Sure, he deserved more playing time than what he got as Joakim Noah’s backup with the Chicago Bulls, but I wasn’t expecting a double-double machine who’d turn the Houston Rockets’ young frontcourt men into end-of-the-bench fixtures.

Sorry Rajon You Deserve it: Boston Celtics Point Guard Earns Two Game Suspension

Like thousands of other fantasy basketball players around the world, I have Rajon Rondo in my lineup.

Opening Week Impressions: Northwest Division

The Northwest has been one of the more interesting divisions in the first week of play, and that’s not always a good thing. Following Wednesday’s games, the Timberwolves are on top despite playing without Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio. Could this be a sign of things to come? Three games isn’t 82 games, so you’ll never know.
