Kobe Bryant has given rave reviews of Andrew Bynum’s workout work ethic this season after Bynum did a ton of offseason training for the first time in his career, enlisting the help of personal trainer Sean Zarzana. So it seem incongruent that Phil Jackson criticized Bynum as having stepped…

The Sonics outscored New Orleans 24-15 in the third quarter and only trail 67-65 heading into the fourth. Earl Watson and Kurt Thomas were the catalysts leading Seattle back. Watson chased down loose balls and found open shooters for the Sonics. And as usual, Thomas is doing the little things,…

New Orleans point guard Chris Paul has been a one-man wrecking crew so far for the Hornets. Paul has 14 points and six assist at the half, as the Hornets lead Seattle 52-41. Seattle is getting beat down the floor in the first half. The Hornets have a 10-3 advantage in fastbreak points. Kevin…

Seattle started the game 1-of-9 from the field and fell behind early 15-3. It's kind of surprising because with the day off and New Orleans down a couple guys you would have thought the Sonics would come out with more energy. Luke Ridnour entered the game with with 2:20 left in the first after a…

After warming up Luke Ridnour said he will play tonight. Delonte West said he had X-rays on his right foot, which revealed no tear and he's hopeful to play at Chicago on Tuesday. Ridnour will come off of the bench tonight. Starters are Earl Watson (PG), Kevin Durant (SG), Damien Wilkins (SF), Chris…

The Miami Heat played like the Miami Heat for 43 minutes. And then the Golden State Warriors played like the Golden State Warriors for 5. If you were at the game last night, then you were treated to one of the best games of the year. Down most of the game, the Warriors pulled it out and have proven…

I like that the Redskins put 10 players on the field on their first defensive play in order to honor Sean Taylor, but maybe they should have told the Bills before hand? Sadly, they didn't win that game, but their miraculous win (2 INTs by Shawn Springs!) against the Bears on Thursday night might…

If you win this contest, you'll be seeing Duncan like this The Spurs are coming to town this Tuesday and we have 2 lower bowl tickets we're trying to give away for the game. This contest is going to be different than the previous ones. It's not timed, but rather based on your Nostradamus-like…

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…

I lived in SoCal for over half a decade and nothing gets me more hype than a good old fashioned Laker-Warrior showdown. Sure the Lakers have beaten down the Warriors in roughly 97.23% of the battles in the past 30 or so years, but who cares? Win or lose as Warriors fans we always keep it…

One term that is frequently used during the Knicks telecast is consistency. Mike Breen often questions why the Knicks aren’t more consistent. In Breen’s mind, New York’s main problem is their inability to “get the job done night in & night out.” However from what…

Now, this report really does not come as much of a surprise to most of us, as it appears fairly evident that Dolan is fully prepared to let Isiah coach (apparently) indefinitely, but it is still a shame to have the idea specifically shot down. Again, though, Dolan is really more of a problem here…
