It’s been almost a year since DBB reader Tim sent in that image of Sheedi-Wan-Kenobi and Chris Bosh-Walker and it still cracks me up. In any case, the Pistons host Bosh and the Raptors tonight (7:30pm, TV20), hoping to squash Toronto’s three-game winning streak. I’ll be at the…

Lamar Odom was getting dressed in the KeyArena visiting locker room afterward, smiled and hollered over to Luke Walton a few doors down: “Feels great to win a ballgame like that, doesn’t it?” Odom had shot 3 for 15 from the field; Walton had shot 1 for 6. Kobe Bryant bailed…

Apparently, Marbury really is hurt, and may require surgery. That’d be a blessing in disguise for the Knicks, as presumably at least part of his salary would be paid by insurance, right?

SEATTLE — As challenging as the Lakers know it’ll be to go about two months without the 16.4 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game that Andrew Bynum gave them over the past month, there is also some relief within the organization. Ever since Bynum arrived in 2005, the Lakers have…

It was interesting Monday night to hear Gerald Wallace address the lack of mental toughness that pervaded the Bobcats much of this season. This wasn’t in response to a question. He just volunteered postgame that there were "people" saying the...

LOS ANGELES — Andrew Bynum was helped off the court with 8:52 left in the third quarter, unable to put any weight on his left leg because of a sprained knee. He stepped on teammate Lamar Odom’s foot for an awkward landing while trying to reach back for a defensive rebound over his…

LOS ANGELES — There was a lot of pride emanating from Lamar Odom, a New York native, and Luke Walton, a San Diego native, after the upset victories by the Giants and the Chargers earlier in the day. Odom went so far as to bring a Giants jersey to hang in his locker. (Of course, it only…
