For well over a decade now, one night out of the year has brought forth same complaints as if they were running on a continuous loop. “The dunk contest sucks.” “He didn’t land it on the first attempt it shouldn’t count.” “Who even is that guy?” “I could do that.” ”Props are stupid.” “It was better [...]
Dear Danny Ainge… You’re Welcome
There are a couple of points I would like to hit on before I dive into this glorious trade you see above. Over the past few days many Celtics’ bloggers have written various articles saying that Jeff Green needs to be inserted into the starting lineup over Paul Pierce. That it would allow Green [...]
New York DJ’s Trolling Kris Humphries to His Face
(New York Daily News) Deejays seem to love torturing the Net forward with the vocal stylings of his ex-wife’s new beau. Humphries’ anguish was apparent Wednesday night at WIP, when he arrived to let off steam after a tough loss to the Knicks, but was left fuming after consecutive West songs blared in his ears… [...]
Rondo Vs. James: All Hail King Rondo
For those of you who are new to TSHQ, first of all welcome. Grab a seat. Would you like a drink? I believe K.M. Venne and Cole Zwicker were just discussing the intricacies of JaVale McGee’s self-indulgent retweets of himself over a fine burbon whiskey. Toward the early days of this sites inception onto the [...]
Free Courtney Lee
Sing it with me now people: “All we are saaayiiiiiing, is give Lee a chaaaance.” Boston Celtics shooting guard Courtney Lee is a 27-year-old sharpshooter who can also finish at the rim, yet somehow, he’s lost minutes to Jason Terry and Leandro Barbosa. Like teammate Jeff Green, Lee is a natural-born starter who’s played on [...]

In an effort to take people’s minds off today’s events, let’s look at some early NBA moves that would fix glaring needs across the league.
Don’t Hate The Player or The Game, Hate The System
Many players have come and gone through the NBA, some good, some great and some absolutely terrible. Is it their fault? Maybe, maybe not. But not many players will get to The Association without the ability to play the game. That being said, not every player can play the same position or even the same [...]
The Hall of Fame Is Just Fine
Disclaimer: My opinions are my own, and they don’t mean a damn thing in regards to how you should think about basketball, or anything for that matter. This post is dedicated to anybody who seeks to change something just for the sake of being original. Countless people work for their entire lives in an effort [...]
The Death of Linsanity
Linsanity is dead. There, I said it. It was on its last legs once Carmelo Anthony returned from injury last year, but now Jeremy Lin’s catchphrase has to contend with “Fear the Beard,” and it’s not faring well. The Houston Rockets paid big money to lure Lin away from the New York Knicks in free [...]
Role Players, Second-Tier Scorers and How Danny Ainge Can’t Tell The Difference
Meet Courtney Lee, shooting guard for the Boston Celtics. He’s a decent on-ball defender at-best and can score in bunches when given the chance. Some would call that being a role player, but I assure you that’s not the case. If Courtney Lee were a role player because of his scoring, then what of Chris [...]
