Space invaders
The Lakers are having their first experience with the NBA’s new gimmick to offer more access for nationally televised games. The camera to be used for certain pregame, halftime and postgame footage was mounted in the locker-room corner above the team’s water cooler and bubble-gum bin. It faced,…

Wait til Okafor learns to read double-teams

Pistons sting Hornets
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…

Warriors Bobblehead Day!
I don't know about you but I get excited for Bobbleheads, I don't know why. I'm not sure I ever remember the Warriors doing bobblehead giveaways before, so this might be a first. The first bobblehead I got was a Barry Bonds one, and the head on that thing was HUGE! Haha. Even the bobblehead was…

RECAP: Warriors 95, Blazers 105- Outlawed!
There's the mantra in the NBA that good teams take care of bad teams, but I really question if that applies to these two teams. The Warriors have gone 7-3 over their last 10 games, so I'm fairly confident in calling them a good team right now or at the very least saying that they been…

Why the Miami game? Because it was just that good of a show. The comeback, the passion, and the crowd (wow!). Our recent game against Miami is just one of many examples that we are a part of a new Warriors generation. I can't even count how many times in the past we've complained about not…

On Consistencey & Team Building
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…

Report: Thomas’ Job Safe
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…
