Week 8 baby! I lost a lot of respect for the Patriots last week. What was the point of bringing Brady off the bench? And why is Boston becoming the city of sports? Patriots, Red Sox, and Celtics? Things aren't too sunny in the Bay for football fans... 49ers and Giants. …

Warriors (W-L): 4-2 (preseason) Clippers (W-L): 4-3 Time: 7:30 PM PST (KNBR 1050) Nellie's announcement of the starting lineup last week was a strange turn of events, further cementing his unofficial moniker as "the joker." But things get even weirder this week. Maybe…

Compared to the East there really wasn't all that much improvement in the West this offseason. Sure Greg Oden and Kevin Durant (maybe you've heard of them?) winded up in the Northwest, but both the Blazers and Sonics took big steps back by trading away Zach Randolph, Ray Allen, and…

Happy days, the preseason is over!The Hornets actually had a pretty good showing last night against the Bobcats, despite missing David West (ankle sprain) and Tyson Chandler (resting). Let's dive into bullet-mode and throw some thoughts around...So yeah, the Hornets won. Final score was 111-100…

Maybe it's a little too early, but I have a simple request for everyone (and please hold me to it too). Let's stop calling the Eastern Conference the Leastern Conference or the NBA's JV Division this year. The huge disparity between the East and West just isn't there anymore after this…

We're just days away from the start of the 2007-2008 NBA Season and you know what that means- GSoM NIGHT 2! But Before we get to that extreme hyphy-ness let's take a closer look at the Southeast Division with the 2nd annual NBA Blog Previews. It's kind of cool how this division has so…

A solid, all-around effort by Seattle as they finish the preseason schedule with a victory. The Sonics controlled all phases of the game tonight, and most important, closed out the fourth quarter for the win, although they did it against Seattle's reserves. Seattle shot 53.6 percent from the…

It's too bad this game isn't on TV, because you're missing a entertaining game tonight. There's absolutely no defense being played out here -- just both teams getting up and down the floor as fast as they can and firing at the hoop. Seattle has the lead again for the third straight game going…

As expected, the Suns made a run in the second quarter and took a two point lead into halftime. Amare Stoudemire has been pretty spectacular for the Suns. He's the game's leading scorer with 18 points. And that included a nice alley-oop jam off a pretty dish from Steve Nash. Showing his…

A well-played opening quarter for Seattle. In particular, Chris Wilcox shot the ball well, going 4-for-4 from the floor with eight points. And Kurt Thomas came off the bench to score six straight points at the end of the period. Seattle owns the boards (19-8). But both teams are strugling from…

It's pretty much a Steve Nash lovefest in Vancouver, B.C. tonight. Several kids are wearing Phoenix Suns jerseys with Nash's name on the back. And he was swarmed by autograph seekers when he came on the floor for pregame warmup. The game is sold out, the first preseason game that I've been to…
