Allright allright, the GSoM Night party is back! We had nearly 900 people at GSoM Night 2 on opening night vs Utah. The game didn't turn out to be much fun, but the night was a big success. We had a raffle, got on the jumbotron, went to the courtside shootaround, had 16 and unders high-5 the…

The Pistons have been playing excellent basketball for quite awhile now, but there’s something about nice, round numbers that makes other people take notice. In my latest from HOOPSWORLD, I take a look at the Pistons’ current 10-game winning streak: Joe Dumars and Flip Saunders made it…

It has hardly been noticed by anyone, but Phil Jackson is making a concerted effort to be more careful about overusing his main players this season. So Kobe Bryant feels great 30 games into the season, saying after practice: “I feel good. I’m just trying to build my legs back and use these…

My buddy walks into my house a couple nights ago during the game against Cleveland, a big dumb grin plastered across his face, and says, "West's jumper is as soft as a fluffy bunny!"After I had stared at him like he was an idiot for a few seconds, he finally explained that he had just…

I saw this two too many times Patriots...16-0. Even if I wanted to hate on the Patriots, Tom Brady, or Randy Moss - I can't. This team deserves all that they accomplished for doing what seemed to be the impossible - going unbeaten in the regular season. But remember, that's unbeaten -…

There was discussion earlier today about whether Marbury would return to the Knicks this season. Coach Isiah Thomas even remarked that he did not know if Marbury would return. According to a report, though, Marbury will return to the Knicks some time after the beginning of the new year. Is this…

On December 20th, 2003, a bad New York Knicks team defeated an even worse Atlanta Hawks team, 103-92. The starters for the Knicks in that game were Allan Houston, Antonio McDyess, Keith Van Horn, Dikembe Mutombo and Howard Eisley (do note that 3/5th of the starting five are no longer in the league,…

For the people that think Lee can’t survive in the half court: Did you see yesterday’s game? I’ve noticed that David “General” Lee (thanks DRED) has been playing really well on offense, especially with the ball in his hands. He likes to get it 10 feet from the hoop,…

Oh. My. God. After 13 years of missing the playoffs, the Warriors shocked the world by squeaking into the 8th seed position with a 42 and 40 record on the last day of the regular season! It's only fitting, I suppose, that we get matched up with Goliath in the form of the Dallas Mavericks, a team…

Time for the Hornets to get back on track and shake off that lousy loss to the Raptors on New Year's Eve. They're in LA to play the Clippers, and Jordy Hultberg reminds us in CST's pregame show that the Hornets have already won twice in the Staples Center this season. In those two…

Wow, what a way to end 2007 and start off the New Year, a convincing win in Houston 112 to 95. As the clock turned we said good bye to one of my favorite GSoM years. As we entered 2008 I wish this upcoming year to be as successful and entertaining as last. I have to say after last night's win…
