SEATTLE – Kobe Bryant has kept up scoring barrages for the entirety of the past two seasons, so why not a little eight-month trip down memory lane? With Andrew Bynum’s knee injury leaving the scrambling Lakers to try to win behind little more than Bryant’s individual offense, he delivered: 48…

By CURTIS ZUPKE The Orange County Register EL SEGUNDO - Lakers coach Phil Jackson acknowledged that his insertion of seldom-used guard Coby Karl in Monday’s game was more than just a move to empty his bench. “Guys all wanted him to do well, perform,” Jackson said. “There was a lot of…

I thought it was pretty neat how the FedEx forum was in the middle of downtown. Especially in an afternoon game, there were plenty of places to go eat/drink (special thanks to Zack of 3ShadesofBlue for the recommendations) before and after the game. I'm not sure it would work…

The Portland Trailblazers find their way into New Orleans tomorrow, right now the only team in the league able to claim they've beaten the Hornets twice. They are a young, rising team like ours, so I figured I'd bombard Dave at Blazer's Edge with a few questions about his…

Last month, DBB reader Tim passed along the new link to these NBA Hot Spots, which, as you can see below, breaks down the shooting percentages for each player based on each spot on the floor. (These were introduced last year under the name “NBA Hot Zone,” and I wish they’d just…

I totally missed this from last weekend: “Pistons rookie Cheikh Samb did not travel with Detroit during their four-game road trip because he has back in Senegal dealing with what team officials describe as a passport-related matter. The matter is not considered serious and team officials…

Ron Artest wouldn’t mind being a Piston? From the Freep: “I wouldn’t consider not playing here,” Artest said. “But right now I’m doing Sacramento. But it’s not something I’m opposed to, you know. That would be a hell of a first day if Ron Artest was in a Pistons’ jersey. That…

The Pistons are in Chicago tonight (8:30, TV20) looking to shake off last night’s loss to the Kings. But be warned: Chicago always seems to have the Pistons’ number in the regular season, even when they don’t have anyone else’s. Plus, when the Pistons drop a game, they tend…

Okay, so Chauncey took a few liberties with the letter of the law with an extra step or two, but you have to admit that was a damn good shot. (Video via FanHouse.) I admit that as it left his fingertips I actually started shaking my head in disbelief that he settled for such a poor look, but in…

LOS ANGELES — Although it looks like defensive specialist DJ Mbenga from Kinshasa, Congo, might be the choice, 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…

Final BoxscoreThe Twolves just won the Finals Oh. My. Gawd. If the Warriors miss out on the playoffs by one game, this will be one that everyone can point to and say if we had just won that game. It's one thing to lose against a below .500 team, it's another completely horrible thing to lose to…

LOS ANGELES – In recent years Kobe Bryant has gotten an inordinate amount of experience cracking help, zone and straight double-team defenses to score on his own anyway. That’s the hard way to do things. What Bryant did so masterfully Monday night is far easier, though still so tricky that most…

There was a good buzz going when I got to the Arena ahead of today's game. They had the big inflatable inflatables out front and there were a million kids running around ready to burst with excitement. The Hornets ran a promotion for the game where children under 12 could get in free when…
