Everyone is still talking about the mini-melee between the Suns and the Houston Rockets at U.S. Airways Center on Wednesday night. The funny thing is, it probably could have been avoided altogether. The fracas started when Tracy McGrady set a hard pick on Steve Nash, which apparently tweaked Nash' shoulder. On Houston's next trip down the floor, Rafer Alston tried to set a pick on Suns' [...]

It's here! After a 14-day off-season (we know it was longer than that, it just seems like 2 weeks since Boston won the title), the 30 teams in the NBA are back at it.
