NBA Notes: Timberwolves' Rubio out indefinitely
2014-11-12
Rubio was hurt in the game at Orlando on Friday night. An MRI exam performed on Saturday confirmed the severity of the sprain. The Timberwolves play in Miami on Saturday night.
Rubio agreed to a $55 million, four-year extension with the Timberwolves on Oct. 31. He entered Saturday as one of only four players with at least 50 assists so far this season.
With Rubio sidelined, it's expected that Minnesota will start veteran Mo Williams.
Rubio is averaging 9.4 points and 10 assists this season.
Clippers: Zucker takes over business side
LOS ANGELES -- Steve Ballmer introduced his first major hire as owner of the Clippers on Saturday, with new president of business operations Gillian Zucker joining Jeanie Buss of the Lakers as the only female chief executive or president in major U.S. pro sports.
Zucker spent the last nine years as president of Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, the West Coast's largest racetrack. The 45-year-old Zucker replaces Andy Roeser, who took an indefinite leave of absence last spring during the scandal involving former owner Donald Sterling.
Ballmer said he met 25 to 30 people in searching for the right person, and described Zucker as "someone with enough intensity, enthusiasm and wisdom to really do this job well."
Zucker said when Ballmer bought the Clippers in August, she thought running the team's business side would be a job she would love (see full story).
Thunder: Westbrook upbeat after surgery
OKLAHOMA CITY -- One week after surgery on his broken right hand, Russell Westbrook is upbeat about his recovery and trying to help his injury-riddled team find a way to survive without current NBA MVP Kevin Durant and himself on the court.
Westbrook met with the media for the first time since suffering a small fracture early in the Thunder's October 30th loss to the L.A. Clippers. He underwent surgery the following day, and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks.
For the three-time NBA All-Star, it was the fourth surgery in less than two years and another frustrating moment for one of the league's most mercurial competitors.
"I missed a shot and tried to come back up and get a rebound and I hit my hand on Perk's (teammate Kendrick Perkins) elbow. I knew I hurt something, I thought I dislocated my finger of something. I couldn't tell until I got the ball back when I ran back down the court and couldn't dribble," said Westbrook. "I was already mad once I hit my hand because I knew it wasn't gonna be good, so I was instantly upset and frustrated. Obviously, I was ready to go and ready to help my team go out and get wins, especially since we were down some guys already. It was frustrating for me, but it'll be alright. I'll get back to where I was at."
Already hobbled by injuries to Durant and newcomer Anthony Morrow, the injury to Westbrook wasn't the end of the misfortune. Forward Perry Jones and guards Jeremy Lamb and Reggie Jackson have also missed games, while rookie forwards Mitch McGary and Grant Jarrett have yet to begin their NBA careers due to injuries. On most nights, the team has had only eight available players
NBA: Sterling doubts players would strike
2014-05-16
In portions of an interview Football Live Betting Lines nfl football betting Online Bingo Sportsbook NFL Odds with CNN released on the television network's website Wednesday, the 80-year-old real estate tycoon said salaries would be more important that spiting him.
"That's talk. The media pushes that," Sterling told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "Why would they do that? If they get their salaries, they are going to play."
LeBron James, the Miami Heat superstar who has led his club to the past two NBA crowns, told CNN that players are pleased with the actions of NBA commissioner Adam Silver to ban and fine Sterling and they understand the process of removing Sterling as an owner will take time.
"The direction Adam is going and the NBA is going, there should be a need for (a strike)," James said. "We trust those guys and we know they are going to take care of what needs to be done for our league and we understand that it's not going to be done tomorrow."
There had been talk of a walkout during the playoffs in the days after Sterling's comments first surfaced but that tension eased when Silver banished Sterling for life.
Sterling's troubles began late last month when recording of him making racist comments were posted online by TMZ, Sterling saying he did not want his girlfriend bringing black people to Clippers games or posting photos of herself with black people on social media websites.
Sterling has later claimed he was trying to seduce the much-younger woman, known only as V. Stiviano, to whom he had already given money and expensive gifts.
The remarks prompted a firestorm of controversy and Clippers players turned their jerseys inside out during a pre-game playoff warmup to protest Sterling before Silver issued his life ban and began the process of having owners remove the team from Sterling's control, hoping to push Sterling to sell the club, something he has said he will not do.
While a firm timetable is not yet set, Silver said Monday the league's board of governors "is continuing with its process to remove Mr. Sterling as expeditiously as possible."
Sterling apologized in a portion of the CNN interview aired earlier but in doing so insulted NBA legend Magic Johnson, prompting Silver to issue an apology to Johnson from the NBA for Sterling's latest comments.
In comments released Wednesday, Sterling asks, "What am I, a Frankenstein? What am I, some kind of ogre?
"I'm a good person. I'm a warm person. I say hello to everybody who comes to the team."
The Clippers trail Oklahoma City three games to two in their best-of-second Western Conference second round playoff series with game six on Thursday at Los Angeles.

NBA Free Agency 2010
2010-07-07
The NBA free agency frenzy has officially begun, promising to alter the course of the NBA for the next decade. After much analysis, here are some predictions about where this year’s top players will end up.
LeBron James- Whatever James decides, it will ultimately cause a huge ripple effect. He has saved his last two free agent visits for what are likely his top two candidates: Cleveland and Chicago. It’ll be a very tough decision but in the end, I see another heartbreak for Cleveland’s sports fans as James signs with the Bulls. They simply give him a better opportunity to win championships. It also doesn’t hurt that he’d be able to play in the same place as his idol, Michael Jordan.
Chris Bosh- Bosh won’t be going back to Toronto so it will be intriguing to see if he tries to leverage a sign-and-trade in order to maximize his earning potential. Bosh’s Toronto teams never did very well so he’s going to want to go to a team that has excellent pieces in place to support him and ultimately challenge for a championship. Look for Bosh to follow James to Chicago and reap the benefits of an extremely talented nucleus already in place.
Dwyane Wade- Don’t be fooled by these meetings with other teams; Wade will be returning to Miami. After trying to pull off a coup and bring James and Bosh to Miami (which will ultimately be unsuccessful) Wade will continue to actively recruit other free agents to help Miami return to their championship ways of 2006.
Dirk Nowitzki- This is another player who, barring unforeseen circumstances, will return to his former team. Nowitzki has an outstanding relationship with owner Mark Cuban and the city of Dallas and merely opted out of his contract so he could maximize his earning potential. Nevertheless, Nowitzki is likely pleading with Cuban to make a splash in free agency and push Dallas over the top after past postseason shortcomings. They won’t be able to pull off a sign-and-trade for James, a player Cuban covets, but in a class as deep as this one there are many other possibilities.
Amare Stoudemire- Stoudemire’s choice will ultimately come down to Phoenix and Miami. Although he has enjoyed great success in Phoenix’s system, rumor has it that negotiations have stalled. It can’t help that Steve Nash in aging and this team’s championship window appears to be closing. Although not Miami’s first choice for an interior player, negotiations will heat up after James and Bosh sign in Chicago. It may take a while but Stoudemire will ultimately sign with Miami after seeing the benefits to forming an inside-outide duo with Wade in South Beach.
Joe Johnson- Johnson is another one of those players whose free agency is complicated by other elite free agents. Although an outstanding player and likely maximum contract recipient, he lags behind James at his position and is looked at as a plan B for many teams. He has already been offered a maximum contract by Atlanta and their interest in him is unequivocal. However, after years of playing on mediocre teams, the guess is he’ll ultimately opt for a change of scenery. The Knicks have already spoken with him and appear to have their sights firmly set on him if (and when) James gets away. The lure of a new venue and playing in the glitzy New York market will be too much for any other team to overcome in the Joe Johnson sweepstakes.
David Lee- Lee is one of the most underrated players in the NBA and has been a pillar of consistency for the Knicks during turbulent times. He will get many looks from other teams, likely including the New Jersey Nets, but the Knicks will ultimately view him as too valuable to let go. He’d get much more help with the addition of Johnson.
Carlos Boozer- Boozer has been a very consistent, rugged player for the Jazz but it appears that they aren’t willing to pay the contract he’ll command and are content with letting Paul Milsap take his spot at power forward. Boozer could truly end up anywhere, potentially in a sign-and-trade. Rumors are starting to grow that this will indeed be what happens, with Boozer going to Orlando and the Jazz receiving compensation. The Eastern Conference is going to be rapidly improved next year and the Magic need to keep up in the arms race. Boozer would help them achieve this and would give Dwight Howard excellent help on the interior. Are you getting ready for the upcoming NBA season? With so many players moving around NBA betting will be more exciting than ever. Head over to www.sportsbook.com the home of NBA betting.
NBA Western Conference Semi-Finals Preview
2010-05-06
For the third straight year, the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Lakers will meet up in the NBA Playoffs. Two years ago, the Lakers advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a 4-2 series win over the Jazz. Last season, Los Angeles needed only five games to knock out Utah in the first round. On Sunday, the two clubs will vie again in the postseason in Game 1 of the series at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The Lakers were tested to begin the playoffs by the upstart Oklahoma City Thunder. A follow-up basket by forward Pau Gasol with under a second to play enabled LA to finish off the Thunder with a 95-94 victory in Game 6 at Oklahoma City on Friday. The short-handed Jazz pulled a mild upset to reach this round by handling the fourth-seeded Denver Nuggets in six games. Despite playing without two starters, Utah played inspired basketball to advance to the conference semi-finals. In the regular season, the Lakers won three of its four meetings against the Jazz. All three victories by Los Angeles were by 14 points or more. The Lakers are building faith back in NBA bettors. But can they continue? Get over to www.sportsbook.com where they have all the NBA lines for you to bet on.
Utah will attempt to pull the upset over Los Angeles with one of the best guard-forward combos in the league. Guard Deron Williams (19 points, 11 assists per game during regular season) and forward Carlos Boozer (20 points, 11 rebounds per game during regular season) are a potent duo for the Jazz. Both players stepped up against the Nuggets as Williams averaged 26 points per game while Boozer added 23 points per outing. However, some injuries have limited the club's supporting cast heading into this series. Center Mehmet Okur (14 points, 7 rebounds per game during regular season) is out for the rest of the season due to an injury. Forward Andrei Kirilenko (12 points per game during regular season) could return to action at some point during the series against the Lakers after missing the first round with an injury. Reserve forward Paul Millsap (17 points, 10 rebounds per game in series vs. Denver) has picked up the slack for Utah's injured frontcourt performers. Utah is a very efficient offensive team. The club shot 49% from the field during the regular season. On defense, opponents were held to under 45% shooting. Hall of Fame head coach Jerry Sloan is wrapping up his 22nd season with the Jazz. He is in the playoffs for the 19th time.
The defending NBA champion Lakers are just eight wins away from a third straight trip to the NBA Finals. As usual, guard Kobe Bryant (27 points per game during regular season) leads the Lakers attack. After shooting just 41% from the field against the Thunder, he will be looking for a more productive series against Utah. Gasol's arrival in Los Angeles two years ago enabled the Lakers to become an elite team. He produced another solid campaign in the 2009-10 season by averaging 18 points and 11 rebounds per outing. 22-year-old center Andrew Bynum (15 points, 8 rebounds per game during regular season) is still developing as a player but is capable of being a difference maker for the squad. The biggest change from last year's title club was the addition of veteran forward Ron Artest (11 points per game during regular season). The defensive specialist will be counted on to aid the Lakers to another championship during this year's postseason. While the Lakers don't shoot as well form the field as Utah, Los Angeles has more offensive weapons to work with than the Jazz. Like Utah, Los Angeles held its opponents to under 45% shooting from the field during the regular season. Los Angeles also has a Hall of Fame coach on the sidelines. Phil Jackson is looking for his 11th title ring. He won six championships with Michael Jordan in Chicago while adding four more with Bryant in Los Angeles. In his 19 seasons, Jackson has never missed the playoffs. He has also won at least 55 games in the regular season in 15 of his 19 years as a head coach in the league. In back-to-back NBA Finals matchups in 1997 and 1998, Jackson got the better of Sloan as Chicago defeated Utah in six games in each series.
