Bryant vs. Marion
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…

Ticket info for Games 1 and 2
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…

K-Dawg Tearing It UP
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,…

Know your Hornets: Playoff edition
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…

PLAYOFF RECAP: Warriors 103, Maverick 99 - Heart
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…

Impressive Performances, 113-100 Suns (Series 3-1, Suns)
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…

Odom's injuries
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.

Rivalry renewed: Pistons and Bulls
(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…

What the first round taught us
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…

Comparing attendance: Red Wings and Pistons
How comes the Pistons still sell out games and the Red Wings don’t? Christy from Behind the Jersey takes a look at that question. Personally, I think ticket prices have a lot to do with it, but I’m also not convinced the Pistons’ sell-out streak is 100% legit — there were a…

PLAYOFF OPEN THREAD - Game #4: Warriors vs Mavericks - Take Control
Warriors (W-L): 2-1 Mavericks (W-L): 1-2 Time: 7:00pm PST TV: FSN Bay Area, TNT Radio: KNBR 680 Forget about the last 3 games, this is the only one that matters now. The Warriors need to treat this game like they absolutely must win. A win puts the Warriors up 3-1 and firmly in control. A…

PLAYOFF Game Thread: Bulls vs. Heat Game 4
I may have too much confidence in a Bulls sweep today. But I figure...the Heat are washed up, old, and probably don't even want to make an extra trip to Chicago. I did enjoy hearing in some places that this team has too much 'pride' to go down easily. What pride? They coasted the whole regular…

Game 4 situation
If theres one Phoenix weakness, its that theyre human. Steve Nash has brought up human nature after a subpar Game 1 effort and a real letdown in Game 3. When the Suns were motivated, they brought the house down in Game 2. And they'll be motivated for Game 4.

When Tiny-ball actually worked
Duhon as the third guard. The sum of all fears happened midway through the 3rd quarter and I thought the game would be lost. But the Bulls with their small lineup erased a twelve-point deficit and held onto a lead for most of the 4th. Granted, it's hard to figure how Duhon contributed,…
