If anyone is looking for any positives regarding the state of the Lakers in this playoff against Phoenix, here's one: Kobe Bryant has just destroyed Shawn Marion when he has been filling in for Raja Bell on Bryant. Bryant has always said he has to adopt a certain strategy when it comes to Marion,…

I think it's time for one big Marv Albert: OH MY! Game 4 Rewind [NBATV] This series is far from over, but I'm expecting the Warriors to finish off the Dallas Mavericks for a monumental upset. WE GOT THIS! Still, there is a very recent precedent of a…

Tayshaun Prince was named to the NBA’s All-Defense second team today. It’s the third time he’s received the honor.

From the Freep: “The Pistons originally posted on their Web site that the lottery for $18 tickets would be held today, but it actually is on Tuesday. So here’s the new, correct information: 500 tickets to Games 1 and 2 of the Pistons’ second-round series will be sold via lottery…

Bravo to Kelly Dwyer for these gems: sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/kelly_dwyer/04/30/inside.nba/index.html I love watching Dallas’ Jason Terry and Golden State’s Baron Davis go at it, especially while taking into context their respective career arcs. Both were drafted in 1999,…

Lo and behold, a brand new post. Even though our Hornets didn't make the Playoffs, we're going with the P-word theme for the latest Hornets trivia thingy. Nothing else made much sense. Here come the question marks... Which player is credited with scoring the most points against the Hornets…

Best game I've ever been to. Best Warrior game in the last 13 years. The crowd was absolutely nuts tonight. We were just as loud, if not louder than the game on Friday. We had to sustain the energy level in the arena for 48 minutes, not the 36 in the blowout last game. I have to give props to…

Tonight's game was just... absolutely... and... well... wow. Speechlessness is really the only appropriate way to describe exactly how ridiculous Nash and Amare played tonight. Two players with absolutely insane nights, on the same night.For those of you who didn't catch the game, I suggest…

I wrote an entry here a few days ago titled "Lamar's trying, at least." That's one thing the Lakers can take out of this series, which obviously isn't going their way.

(photo credit: MichSt) The Pistons and Bulls are meeting in the playoffs for the first time since Chicago swept Detroit in the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals en route to the first of six NBA titles under Michael Jordan. We’ll be covering this from all angles between now and Saturday’s…

The Pistons swept the Magic on Saturday, and as I’m sure you’ve already heard three dozen times this weekend alone, it was their first playoff sweep since 1990. But even though the Pistons won all four games (or rather, eight, if you include the regular season), the series was more…
