C-Webb vs. Jelani
LOS ANGELES — I was debating with someone today whether it made more sense for the Lakers to sign Chris Webber for the rest of the season or just call up Jelani McCoy temporarily from the D-Fenders to bolster the injury-plagued frontcourt. You might be able to gather from my post Wednesday…

The Julian Wright situation
With our team near the peak of the Western Conference with an oh-so-fantastic 26-12 record, there isn't much for us Hornets fans to complain about these days. Everyone is healthy, the bench is playing better, and our first round draft pick has been on the inactive list for the past three…

Ankle Saves Face?
The Post, along with other outlets, is reporting that Stephon Marbury is “a lock” to have surgery on a chronically fracutred bone spur in his ankle. Although MRI results were not available at the time of writing, prior X-Rays have revealed the fracture. The surgery is quite likely to…

Golden Break: The Trade, One Year Later
The island of Manhattan for beads and mirrors. The Louisiana Territory for $23 million and change. Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, Sarunas Jasikevicius and Josh Powell for Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, Ike Diogu, and Keith McLeod. OK, so maybe the first two steals were a little…

RECAP: Warriors 105, Timberwolves 98 - Breaking the Cycle
Yahoo! Final Boxscore The Warriors have broken the cycle! No, they didn't really break the cycle of poor interior defense. They definitely didn't break the cycle of NOT letting young bigs play. They sort of had a decent first quarter, though it was strange to see how close…

The Pistons are at the Garden
I’m a little too young to remember the 1984 playoffs (let alone the fact that the Pistons’ bench used to be called the “A Team”), but that’s what YouTube is for. The Pistons are at the Garden, and the ball just tipped. As usual, leave your thoughts in the comments.…

Pistons look to rebound against Spurs
A bunch of other stuff commanded my attention today, and to be honest, I wasn’t exactly thrilled about dissecting last night’s loss to the Mavs (although this headline is awesome). One of the few bright spots, though, was the play of Walter Herrmann (aka, Strretch Arrmstrronng), whom…

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…

Bobcats want a do-over
With Miami being granted a rare do-over last week, Bobcats coach Sam Vincent wants one of his own: he wants to file a protest over a basket interference call that went against Emeka Okafor in the final seconds of Charlotte’s loss to Detroit. Chances of it happening? Slim to none.…

Ah, bless the Miami Heat
I think if the Bulls played the Heat in a 50 game series, they'd win 54 of them. Somehow with that group it'd be possible. Ben Gordon with 24 points on 6 made field goals. Him and Noc with 4 threes apiece. Joe Smith went 9 of 10 from the field. One of the few opponents where Ben Wallace looks like…
