by Matt Silverston from blog.sidelinesapp.com:  Hate it or love it, but the NBA hype machine fed experts misinformation this off-season. It’s important to identify fact versus fiction before things get out of hand.  Myths regarding this year’s rookie of the year, the best free agent find in Texas and the top team in the East need to be busted. Welcome to NBA Mythbusters folks.

by Matt Silverston Say what you want about Lamar Odom, and go ahead and criticize his lifestyle and the choices he's made, but I will never hesitate to stand up for those human beings who suffer from addiction and mental illness. Given that Odom's story as well as his whereabouts are uncertain and up-in-the-air at this time, the biggest issue at stake here is so much more than money, a reality TV drama, or a basketball hoop. His future livelihood as a healthy, spirited human being is under attack and in immediate jeopardy.

As a Dallas Maverick fan, I have to wonder why teams like L.A., Miami, New York, and even Brooklyn can acquire the players that they have under the new collective bargaining agreement, yet a team that has operated well above the salary cap since Mark Cuban took over can not. Those teams have made a decision to operate in the red and a NBA championship is worth it. The new agreement was supposed to level the playing field by requiring a much higher luxury tax for teams over the salary cap. What has happened is the plane between contender and non-contender has grown exponentially. At the start of the 2012-13 season, the number of teams with a legitimate chance of winning it all is few and far between. Struggling franchises are finding it hard to attract top free agents and additional revenue streams to compensate for increasing their payroll. The original thought that low salary cap teams will be the go-to destination if a superstar wants to make big money was totally wrong. Lebron i...

Words are only words...right. After Steve Nash gave a radio interview saying that he was "old school" and thought it would be to hard to wear a Lakers jersey, he will now join the team next season. Nash, a two-time NBA MVP, will replace Ramon Sessions who opted out of his final year to pursue free agency. This will definitely help the Lakers stay title contenders in the Western Conference. Nash turned down a lucrative deal from his home country Toronto Raptors of $36 million for the same 3 years. Lakers acquire Nash through sign and trade with Phoenix using a trade exception from Lamar Odom's deal. Nash was also being pursued by his old team the Dallas Mavericks, NY Knicks, and Miami Heat also.

ESPN NBA Doc Rivers upset with technicals

Despite early exits from Utah and Dallas, the playoffs have gone as expected.  We started with 16 and now we are down to 8. As we move to the second round, teams to watch are the Thunder, Pacers,and the Clippers.These young teams are built to win now and in the future. With and least 1 or 2 superstar and a wealth of talent on the bench, they can easily be crowned this years champions. With such a compact season, these young guns are primed mentally and physically to  challenge anyone for the championship. Its hard to watch and at the same time hate to see the old guys struggle to compete with the next generation of superstars.Take a good look now because I suspect that we are about to see the a new NBA Champion! - Royce Fisher, RF Sports Radio
