Rumors abounded that Melo could be on the move at this year’s trade deadline, Nbaactioninsight official website but nothing serious ever materialized. Though Anthony loves living in New York City, the best thing for his career (both real and virtual) may be a move to a team where he can be part of a big three (maybe the Cleveland Cavaliers or Los Angeles Clippe

Listed at 6’7″, Butler is a full 10 inches taller than Thomas, but has the physical gifts that it takes to stick with him for a long period of the game. Despite the major height difference, Butler respects Thomas’ versatile g
The 5’9″ Thomas is in the midst of a spectacular, career-best campaign, averaging 28.9 points and 5.9 assists. If you’ve watched the Celtics play this year, you know that their entire offense runs through him and he’s what makes them tick. Further, he’s been the best fourth quarter scorer in the league, providing important points down the stretch of most ga
In the four contests against the Bulls this year, Thomas put up 24.8 points and 5.8 assists per game. However, he shot the ball very well against Chicago, going 53.8 percent from the field along with 48.4 percent from three-point ra
As of Wednesday night, the 38-40 Chicago Bulls are in a three-way tie for seventh place in the Eastern Conference.Possessing the same exact record as both the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers, and just 2.5 games ahead of the Charlotte Hornets and 3.0 games ahead of the Detroit Pistons, a lot can happen between now and the playoffs, even if there are only a handful of games remaining.Bulls shooting guard Dwyane Wade has missed the last 10 games with an elbow injury (sprained with a small fracture) that he suffered on March 15.He was originally deemed out for the rest of the regular season as a result.However, according to Vincent Goodwill of CSN Chicago, his recovery has progressed so well that he might be able to suit up as early as Saturday against the Philadelphia 76

“I look forward to that matchup,” Butler said after Friday’s practice . “Especially what he’s done this year for that team. I know that it’s going to come at some point in time. I don’t know when — but I’m going to make it tough for him. For anybody that I’m guarding. Not just me, it’s going to be a team effort. I’m going to get beat at times, I’m going to need guys to be there. If not, then we’ll do it over and over again ’til somebody is there if I’m beat. But I look forward to that challenge. I want th
The Bucks were sensational from three-point range, going 16-for-28 on the night. Oddly enough, they attempted just five free throws in the victory, hitting three of them. Gianni Antetokounmpo (10/11/10) recorded a triple-double over 36 minutes played in the low-scoring contest. The Hornets played without Kemba Walker, who sat out to r
The Clippers outscored the Rockets 36-12 in the third quarter and at that point, the game was essentially over.

The Celtics moved into first place in the Eastern Conference with the victory. Led by Isaiah Thomas (27/4/3), Al Horford (19/8/4) and Avery Bradley (18/5/2), the Celtics led the Nets to 36.0 percent shooting for the game. In the loss, Brook Lopez (25/7/2) became the Nets’ all-time leading sco
