Allen calls Barea’s foul ‘bush league’

March 4, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Ray Allen is a mild-mannered guy so it takes a serious hit to get him riled up. But Allen was furious Monday night when J.J. Barea knocked him down to the floor, and the Miami Heat guard told NBA TV that he didn’t like the way Barea came at him. “I thought it was a … [Read more…]

October 30, 2012 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The Oklahoma City Thunder pulled off a shocking trade three days before the 2012-13 season opener.

January 31, 2011 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

Kevin Love is pulling out all the stops in his bid for a spot on the Western Conference All-Star roster.
