Lakers 109, Hornets 80
NEW ORLEANS – Andrew Bynum just keeps throwing logs on his personal fire. And the Lakers just keep winning. The Lakers never trailed the Western Conference’s other up-and-coming team, the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night. It was the Lakers’ 14th victory in 17 outings, and it was fueled…

YouTube Tuesday II: Focus Your All-Star Votes Here!
I saw this tonight on tv and even though it's not Warriors related, it's hilarious. I had to put this up here to accompany Hash's Melo video. With all the diaries about All-Star voting, I just want to throw this name out there. Vote for Chris Bosh! He's a great young star getting no exposure in…

YouTube Tuesday: I Knew I Liked That Guy!!!
Hey c'mon now... I know it's easy to hate a guy like `Melo. He's rich. He's young. He rips our defense apart every time we play the Nuggets. He gets to play with A.I. But seriously man... why all the hate? He's not so bad. He genuinely seems like a good guy! I mean, if there was an old lady…

Warriors in the History Books... AGAIN!
Last season when the Warriors sent #9 overall 2006 Draft pick Patrick O'Bryant down to the D-League they made history by making him the first ever lottery pick to get sent to the place where NBA dreams are supposed to start. With their signing of C.J. Watson they've made NDBL…

Finally, another game
That youngster is Bentley Green — you can get the full lyrics, and (believe it or not) his representation info on the YouTube page. The Mavericks are riding a five-game winning streak but the Pistons are ornery and extremely well-rested, which I’m sure can’t be a good…

Rasheed Wallace doesn’t explain his departure
It didn’t really get a lot of press because I don’t think many people really knew what to make of it, but Rasheed Wallace didn’t stick around very long after Saturday’s loss to the Celtics — he didn’t even shower and apparently left the arena still wearing his…

On Boston’s (over)reaction

Pistons visit Toronto
I kind of feel bad for the Raptors. Last year they were scrappy division champs, perhaps the only bright spot in an otherwise bleak Atlantic Division. With a legitimate All-Star in Chris Bosh surrounded by a solid nucleus featuring the likes of T.J. Ford, Jose Calderon, Jorge Garbajosa, and…

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…

If you haven’t already, be sure to check out A. Sherrod Blakely’s piece for Booth Newspapers about the first 100 days of the season for the Pistons. He obviously spent a lot of time with Joe Dumars, as the whole thing is littered with some really interesting quotes, such as…

Not even sure it could be called a venting thread
I mean, a home loss to the Knicks. Getting outscored 28-12 in the 4th quarter against a team that can't play defense and in most cases simply doesn't find it necessary. You could call it stunning, but the Bulls haven't been playing well lately despite their record, and when you let teams hang…
