There is none of this in the NBA Playoffs. Yes, the NBA is the next step from college, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is better to watch. In the NBA there are super teams that, such as the Warriors, but not in the NCAA, any team could beat any team. To begin, March is a crazy and fun month. March…

It’s official, Al Horford will be a Boston Celtic. That said, it’s now Dwight Howard’s time to shine in Atlanta.

fantasy basketball owners, it’s going to be worth watching how Rondo and Holiday function together. This would not be the first time Gentry has deployed Holiday this fashion. Tim Frazier started 12 of the final 13 games last season in the same backcourt, and Holiday scored at least 17 points six times with two double-doubles. In his other 55 games last year, Holiday reached that point total 19 times with 13 double-doubles. Holiday’s minutes shifted back toward the point last year, but Basketball…
