Coach Gentry was having no part of it when I asked him how important the Robin Lopez - Andrew Bynum match-up is. He talked about needing a team effort, especially on the defensive end and then he went on and talked for two minutes about how …

Any time you lose nearly $110,338 because of a measly one-game suspension, you've got to do something about it. I wouldn't know this from personal experience, but if you do, then you feel the pain of Indiana Pacers star Danny Granger. After …

After thinking for about four minutes on this Joe Johnson to the New York Knicks in a "wink, wink deal" because his agent has known Donnie Walsh for 20 years, I have decided it is a bit ridiculous. Not because Joe would never go to the Knick…
The Nets were defeated in Dallas despite building a 33-17 lead late in the first quarter to match their largest first-period lead this season. New Jersey blew an early 16-point lead in a loss to the Grizzlies on February 21. The Nets (0-2),…

SI Article on Oden.......ouch Pretty honest assessment about the future of Oden and the Blazers going into next season and the season after that. Not particularly enjoyable to read, but I think it shows the dilemma coming down the road
The Warriors officially signed Reggie Williams to a 2nd 10-day contract today. His last day will be Mar 21st. He will be available for 5 games: Raptors, Lakers, Hornets and a road back-to-back of @Spurs, @Grizzlies. Beyond that, no other in…

Dwight on Injuring D-Rose I feel bad about what happened to my guy, D-Rose, in the Bulls game last night. We spent a lot of time together last summer going to China on that adidas trip, and I really think my guy is gonna be a star for a long t…
Michael Jordan wearing #12 in a game against the Magic. Unfortantley the Bulls lost a heartbreaker and Scott Skiles hit 4 crucial threes, but still a rarity with Jordan in a #12 jersey.
I did some digging in Dallas to find out if anyone has ever made him a "Godfather" offer for the team. The answer? Yes. In the middle of the past decade, when the economy was still thriving, Sterling was offered a billion dollars for the Cl…
Evan Turner hits 40 foot buzzer beater to beat UM This just happened about 20 minutes ago. OSU was down by 1 against Michigan in the Big 10 Tournament and Turner goes Jerry West on them. Look at Turner's reaction. The kid is filthy!
So the Rockets have limped back to barely being over .500. At least they have the Nets to pick on tonight (though the Nets have been quite feisty lately). Then again... as exciting as the Kevin Martin trade was, and as good as the Rockets …
Who? The Green Wave of Tulane. Where? New Orleans, LA; Tulane hosted the longest field goal in NFL history. When? Friday the 12th, in Tulsa, OK. How? The Green Wave ripped off a 22-2 run to open the game and held off some fierce runs from th…

I don't see a game thread created for tonight's game. So, hope this post is used by folks to chat away during the game. It's been an oddly quiet day. Hope spurs make our days better. This must be an easy game for the Spurs, we should wrap it…

Steinmetz: Magic-Bird Borders on Perfection Lets face it, theres never again going to be anything like Bird-Magic. Thats what makes the HBO documentary so good: It takes you to a time when basketball was close to perfect.
Recently, we had a poll on the front page asking which position the Spurs should concentrate on upgrading in the offseason. The results were pretty clear: most fans think the Spurs are most lacking at the Center position. With that in mi…
Larry Brown advises Sixers on Eddie Jordan situation So the 76ers won't listen to their own coach or GM, but they will listen to a former coach that's coached about half the teams in the league. And of all people, Larry Brown? The same Larry B…

" Parker is amongst the best LEFT handed finishers..." Something of a silver lining... If Tony can come back in time to help the Spurs, he will surely be hampered by his freshly healed right hand. But perhaps he wont be at as big a disadvan…
I did not take this photograph, nor does this particular picture have anything to do with the Washington Wizards as far as I know. This is just a picture of Wet Willies, a bar/nightlife on Ocean Drive in South Beach, Miami. I was in Miami …
It's too bad the Nuggets wont be playing at home on St. Patty's Day, or at all on March 17th, because we'd maybe get to see some more green uniforms. Well, the Nuggets are playing this evening in Memphis, the Saturday before St. Patty's, or…
A video about Allen Iverson during his time in Denver. It's so funny because, well, Iverson calls himself the best leader and fiercest competitor ever. He's currently dealing with divorce, an illness to his 4-year-old daughter, and drinking …
Former Skyforce guard Reggie Williams was the halftime interview on TNT in his most recent game with the Golden State Warriors. He also signed a second 10-day contract today. Both of these things make me happy.
Kyle from Truth About It and Mike from Bullets Forever recently spoke with Wizards call-up Alonzo Gee. Good stuff. You can see some photos of Gee in action and read some of Kyle's notes about him over at TruthAboutIt.net.
There is a growing sentiment among opposing team executives that at the very least the Knicks will sign Atlanta's Joe Johnson, whose agent, Arn Tellem, orchestrated the Tracy McGrady trade to the Knicks and has been friends with Walsh for 2…
I don't really have anything to say about last night's game. Lots of non-efforts, crappy play, boring ball, and...is this season over yet? I have a bad feeling I'm going to need a new Korean cookbook before it's all said and done with.…

Scola gets career high 44 points The impressive part is that he did it on 20 of 25 shooting! Granted it was the Nets, but that is a monster night nonetheless. He's averaging 26 and 15 over the past 5 games, you have to wonder when the Rocket…
