  Crab Dribbles, Runs for the Border and Last Laughs


 byChristopher Sells
The NBA entered the Twilight Zone last night. The Celtics and Lakers lost while the Thunder pulled out a rare win. Granted, it took overtime for Boston to lose and the Hornets needed 40 from David West to down the Lakers. And the Thunder played the Knicks, against whom anything is possible. It goes to show you that anything can happen on any given night. The second that you start expecting (...).

  The Lakers stole the Celtics’ heart.


 byJohn Nguyen
I knew I saw Rajon Rondo somewhere before. I couldn't put my thumb to it until I went back 3 years. That amateur sketch was on point. I knew I saw Rondo up on that tree. This explains everything. The Leprechauns have disappeared. The Charlotte Bobcats beat the Boston Celtics (114-106). Not only was their swag stolen, but their defense is gone, too. That Christmas day game against the Lakers (...).

  Injuries, Inebriation, Resolution and Recognition


 byChristopher Sells
Melo Injured Early reports out of Denver are that Carmelo Anthony has a "probable" hand fracture. No word yet on if this will require him to miss any games or how long any recovery time might be. This comes at a terrible time for the Nuggets, who are off to their best start since the 1976-77 season. Their 24-12 record leads the Northwest Division and is fourth-best in the West. More details (...).

  Why Tim Duncan doesn’t get Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, or Dwyane Wade respect


 byOly Sandor
I’m talking about career love. Or even career recognition for his four NBA Titles, MVP and Defensive Player of the Year awards, and being the building block for the best organization in pro sports. Duncan wins. Correction. San Antonio, Duncan’s team, wins. That’s what matters to the former first overall pick. Yet, in a results orientated business like the NBA, he gets less respect than a (...).

  The Ultimate Stat Equivalator


 byJesse Andrews
How many points is a steal worth? How many rebounds equals a blocked shot? In normal basketball analysis, these questions are absurd. People would mock you for asking them, and rightly so. “You fool,” they would sneer. “You can’t equate different kinds of stats.” Then, for emphasis, they would make an inflammatory hand gesture, or maybe spit on your shoes. For some reason, the people I (...).

  Goat or hero? What is Houston’s Tracy McGrady?


 byOly Sandor
The supporters mention T-Mac’s individual accolades, freakish athleticism, the good times in Toronto and Orlando, and last year’s improbable winning streak. While the detractors counter with T-Mac’s injury woes, record of apathetic play, the sour endings in Toronto and Orlando, and, of course, the first round playoff losses (...).

  Derrick Rose’s Rookie Year: Insider wanting to get out. Jerry Reinsdorf doesn’t care about winning.


 byJohn Nguyen
I’m watching the NFL playoffs so my interest is not here completely. Peyton Manning and the Colts just got eliminated because they couldn’t run the ball nor defend the run. It’s sad to watch. You know what’s even sadder? There was a Bulls game on at the same time and no one noticed. I don’t like to write about the Bulls. I’d rather have someone else write (...).

  Why hating Kevin Garnett and Boston Celtics is good for NBA


 byOly Sandor
Heroes and villains sell. The shine has come off Boston’s renaissance and the four-leaf clover, fair or not, is experiencing a backlash. Take The Big Three’s antics: Paul Pierce talks pure smack, KG’s elbows roam, and Ray Allen comes across as a little too holier than thou (perhaps, Jesus Shuttlesworth was more than a movie role) (...).

  First Step’s NBA Power Rankings


 byJahfree Duncan
With the trades, the coaches getting fired, and Stephon Marbury, the NBA has been full of surprises this season. Everyone wants the same thing: to be a champion. The regular season is just one long practice before teams can really start to play towards that title. Here are your top eight teams thus far: 1-Los Angeles Lakers (25-5) – The combination of Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol in the paint (...).

  3 Ways Toronto Raptors Get More From Andrea Bargnani


 byOly Sandor
Colangelo’s choice in 2006 could have fatal consequences. In July of 2010, Bosh becomes an unrestricted free agent and, if Toronto’s supporting cast is still sub par, he’ll sign elsewhere. Getting more from Bargnani will improve the club’s 12-20 record and improve their chances of extending ‘CB4’ (...).

  The NBA’s Western Conference: What each team wants (or doesn’t want) for 2009


 byJohn Nguyen
It’s the annual time to ring in the New Year. About half of the general managers should be in an inebriated state; half dead in bed pondering what to do with their joke of a roster they built. Other teams successfully winning are probably smashing girls they picked up somewhere at some club negotiating a buyout to cover up a baby they might have created on January 1, 2009. At least (...).
