Before the ball was even tipped, I was nervous about Wednesday’s game. The Pistons were playing their fourth game in five nights, and they’d be winning so easily I figured either fatigue or over-confidence would do them in. For the first 12 minutes, it looked like I was right: the…

Boxscore "Austin Croshere can get scary hot!" -- Fitz When Austin Croshere is playing, you know the Warriors must be playing well. When Fitz is saying "Austin Croshere can get scary hot" the Warriors must be absolutely killing the other team. This makes me wonder, are the Bucks a real NBA…

So I did make it to the Lakers-Timberwolves game Tuesday night despite my stomach virus. Had a job to do, did the job. Bottom line. I had no idea going in about similar illnesses for Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum. Turns out Bynum had food poisoning, he said just now. But he is playing tonight after…

I asked someone who knows the Knicks pretty well to rank Stephon Marbury, Isiah Thomas and Jim Dolan 1-to-3 in leadership qualities. His response: “It’s a trick question. They’re all zeros.” Ah, nothing like the negativity that surrounds the Knicks … and with good…
