That Buzzing In Your Heart? It's A Hornets Nest. Trust Me.
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who can't believe it's only two weeks until the NBA playoffs.

David West Is An Assassin
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who gets some serious NBA overload on Wednesday nights. When he's trying to get the pick and roll out of his head, he can be found cracking corn at Basketbawful. Enjoy! Chris Paul made nicknaming history last night. Last night, Paul had the following to say...
For A Minute There I Thought This Might Look Ridiculous
My first question before ordering one of these is, does it come in teal? Deuce of Davenport found this in a wrestling supply catalog, but I imagine that it could also come in handy on the basketball court, or just in the schoolyard to fend off bullies. Although there's always the danger of your head...
Keith Van Horn Has A Nice Gig, If You Can Get It
After the Jason Kidd trade finally went down — Mark Cuban says "this deal will have impact!" — the one question everyone had was ... Keith Van Horn's still playing? No, he isn't, which you probably know by now; he just never filed the papers. And now he's even richer than he was before....
Only Devean George Understands The Power He Wields
Of all the comments in the wake of the Jason Kidd trade that was, oddly, blocked by Devean George of all people, our favorite might have been in the live blog of the Mavs' game against the Blazers:...

Birdman Ready To Fly Again, This Time With Fewer Stimulants
It has only been two years, but still, a lot of people don't remember the maestro that was former Nugget and Hornet Chris Anderson. He's perhaps most famous for his performance in the slam dunk contest — Bill Simmons wrote, "Looking back, I think the best part was that he started off the contest by ...
You Know, This Hornets Team Might Be Pretty Good
The NBA Closer is written by me, J.E. Skeets, high leader of The Moose. When I'm not busy scouring the box scores or part-time modeling, I can be heard on The Basketball Jones daily podcast talkin' shit and spittin' rhymes. Enjoy!...
Nets Lose Despite Kidd's Triple-Double, 'Stache
The NBA Closer is written by our Canadian weekend maestro J.E. Skeets. When he's not busy scouring the box scores or time traveling, he can be heard on The Basketball Jones daily podcast....
Hornets Cancel Dallas' Dynasty
Nobody can quite explain why the Hornets franchise has been unable to beat the Dallas Mavericks since 1999. Experts agree one factor might be that in those games, the Hornets were unable to score more points than the Mavericks. Others blame global warming. Others still claim that last night the Horn...
And A Kidd Shall Lead Them
Was it just a few short months ago that Jason Kidd was practically a Los Angeles Laker? Just about everyone called it, then had to redact. Too bad. Instead of one great team (LA), we now have two mediocre ones. Bryant scored 31 points (on 7-of-31 shooting) for the Lakers, and Kidd had 15 points, 14 ...
New Jersey Nets Basketball: Don't Stop Believ —
A lot has been made of the New York Knicks' woes, and rightfully so. But what of the New Jersey Nets? Monday's 102-75 loss to the Jazz was the Nets' sixth straight. I'm only glad that Tony Soprano didn't live to see this....
Jason Kidd Is Aware Of His Physical Advantages
You know the NBA season is just around the corner when Jason Kidd is in the gossip pages again. The Nets point guard is accused of groping a woman (twice!) and then informing her of his rather imposing physical advantage....
New Jersey Nets Dancers Are INTENSE
If you think dancing for an NBA team is just about bleaching your hair blonde, suiting up in tight-fitting Spandex, and shaking what the good Lord — or a good surgeon — gave you, then 10 years ago you were actually correct. But times have changed, and in an era where Jason Kidd is no longer legally ...

The man just puts people in the mood for porno. And soon, Nets fans won't have to go far to satisfy their jones....
Cavs, Nets Try To Out Not-Care Each Other
This is how ugly that Cavaliers-Nets series has become: The Nets scored six fourth-quarter points, on the road, facing elimination ... and they won by 11 points. As the Bulls-Pistons series stirs slowly back to life, this plodding, limping joke of a series still stumbles along, one team emerging vic...
Vince Carter Reveals Himself Again
Legitimate question: Why would anyone with any sort of hopes for someday winning an NBA championship spring for Vince Carter this offseason? In the most important game of the year for his Nets, Carter dribbled the ball of his foot during the final possession, ultimately shooting 6-for-23 as the Nets...
