The Lakers get an improved chance to sweep this big back-to-back against Denver and Utah with word just out of the Jazz camp that starters Carlos Boozer (ankle) and Mehmet Okur (back) aren’t playing. The Lakers already won games where the opponents were without Tracy McGrady, Chauncey Billups…

Bobcats center Ryan Hollins said at practice Friday he's traveling with the team to Chicago and Toronto, but I'll be surprised if he plays. Hollins hasn't practiced in a week, since injuring his left shoulder in a clinch with Orlando's...

Like many other longtime Warrior fans I've been mouthing off for years about how it's so depressing that the Warriors are such a cheap, poorly run organization that isn't the least bit committed to winning or putting out the best possible product on the court. I often say the Warriors…

You see what happens when you focus at the charity stripe?! See what happens when you play D with a sense of urgency?! You see what happens when you BELIEVE?!!! Well for one thing, you can brick a bunch of 3's and walk away with a win. You can get a string of questionable calls from the refs…

Warriors (W-L): 6-7 Kings (W-L): 5-9 Time: 7:00pm PST TV: FSN Bay Area As Steve Harvey so eloquently put it, "We're goin' to see the Kangs tonight." Who would have thought after the abysmal start that we had to our season the Warriors would be making a push to get back to .500 by their…

Update: We have a winner! Congrats to Zack Vank for being the first one to get all of the questions right. At 8:35:33PM he gave out all the correct answers. Hopefully his knowledge of the Warriors and Rockets is that much better. Thanks to everyone who played, unfortunately there could be only one…

Final Yahoo! Boxscore After starting 0-6 and looking like a one-trick-pony that the “We Believe” haters had continually harped them to be, the Warriors have roared back to a respectable 8-7 record. The Warriors, beating the Houston Rockets 113-94 at the Roaracle, kept…

The Hornets just had three days off to rest, recuperate, and practice not sucking so much. They play the Hawks in Atlanta this evening, then it's back home to New Orleans to host those dastardly Mavs tomorrow night. We've lost four of five, so getting at least one win in these next two…

Back in the halcyon days of the beginning of the week I found my self thinking, “Maybe Lucy’s right. Maybe these guys are starting to come to an understanding; it’s time to just come together and play. This may not be a playoff team, but there’s no reason it has to be a…

LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant is becoming really good at expressing some opinions while not expressing others (with the others often being the ones everyone is dying to hear). Here’s a fresh take from Bryant — limited as it is — now that Phil Jackson has agreed to his contract…

John Hollinger does the work in pointing out exactly how bad this start has been. It's a pretty academic exercise: all the players stink. The worrisome part is that this isn't just a slow start. The offense is historically awful. Every single player ('cept Joe Smith) is playing worse than …
