Orlando has this one circled: For the Pistons, tonight is just another match, the second of a back-to-back before they head back to Detroit. For the Magic, though, they’ve been waiting for this for a while. John Denton of Florida Today reports that Stan Van Gundy put a big “8″ on…

[Thanks to Chgobr for tonight's game preview. -Matt] Opening night at the UC - does life get better than this? It would if we won the opener but that diary is history. If only Wallace...I'm going to stop. You know the Sixers are in trouble when they open their season asking their fans…

See what I did there? I’m hoping a bit of flash video will distract you from the fact I’ve been derelict in my blogging duties today. In any case, by now you know the Pistons won 91-80 (if you missed it, you can get a feeling for how things went down by checking out the comments…

Yes, the Warriors stunk up the joint against the Utah Jazz this past Tuesday on opening night aka GSoM Night II, but who cares? I don't want to overanalyze the game- there's still 81 left and most importantly I had a great time out with all of ya'll! All of your boys at GSoM (minus R…

The Hornets look to improve their already-gleaming record to 2-0 this evening when they host the Portland Trail Blazers at the N.O. Arena. Game time is set for 7pm Central.I'm pretty much all tapped out at the end of a hectic week, so excuse my laziness today. I won't be doing much…

Attending GSoM Night/Warrior home opener was like attending prom, just without all the pressures of getting to second base (or further for those who like it nasty). Actually, it was probably better than prom since you were essentially going to with like 880 more folks all wearing the same…

When it comes to GSoM friend Marcus Thompson of the Contra Costa Times, normally we're the ones doing the interviewing. But MT decided to flip the script and interview me for a piece Do You Still Believe in the Warriors? for the East Bay's finest Oakland Magazine. You know me- I'm…

Suns take the season opener 106-99 over the Seattle Supersonics.Not gonna write much of a recap because it's kinda late and I watched the game on DVR. We've got the Lakers tonight though so that should be fun. Feel free to talk it out in the comments. Just as a heads up, I usually write about…

33 - That's how many 3-pointers Seattle allowed Phoenix to shoot. The Suns made 11 of them. 27 - The amount of points Seattle rookie Kevin Durant scored in the team's home opener. Durant was impressive, even making shots late in the game to keep the Sonics close. 41 - What Seattle shot from the…

Seattle is up 82-79 heading into the fourth quarter. We know what happened against Denver on Tuesday night. Can Seattle avoid another letdown? We'll see. Tonight Chris Wilcox (19 points) and Kevin Durant (22 points) have carried Seattle. And defensively the Sonics have been better in getting to…

Pax says the trade talk is over for now. It's certainly nice that the season can begin. But this past week has taught us some things about how Pax views his team. Clearly he did pursue Kobe Bryant, so to say he's content with this squad isn't accurate, and shouldn't be. While I have high…

In his first regular season home game rookie Kevin Durant has been as good as advertised, scoring 18 points on 7-for-14 shooting. The up-tempo game seems to be helping Durant, as he is getting out in the open floor more, making it easier for him to get shots close to the basket. After watching…
