Lakers 105, Nets 90

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Kobe Bryant-Pau Gasol partnership debut featured numerous fourth-quarter celebrations for the two of them as the Lakers pulled away from the Nets – more because of Gasol down the stretch than Bryant. Twice down the stretch Tuesday night, Bryant drew double teams and…

Step one: find Paxson's cell-phone charger

Sorry to sound like Jimmy 'Feel Good' Boylan, but ya know what? I can't help but believe the Bulls really will make the playoffs this season. As of Tuesday afternoon they're a game out of the 8th seed which is held by New Jersey, a squad that record wise has actually been overachieving…

See ya, Kwame

WASHINGTON — Here in the nation’s capital, where Kwame Brown heard the first of many a boo while stinking with the Wizards more than he ever did with the Lakers, Pau Gasol arrived to replace him. Experiencing Gasol’s gentle, kind demeanor first-hand at the Lakers’ team hotel…

Shaq to Suns?

The Miami Herald is reporting that the Heat is negotiating with Lakers rival Phoenix regarding a trade of Shaquille O’Neal to the Suns for Shawn Marion. Now that would be a new twist to our old story.

Gasol won’t shave

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — I remember writing in a game story from Memphis recently that the shaggy-haired, scraggy-bearded Pau Gasol looked like Phil Jackson back in Jackson’s playing days. Jackson apparently thought the same kind of thing, because he said he told Gasol that he would…

The Sporting Blog just got better-er

My former FanHouse compadre Bethlehem Shoals makes his first appearance today at The Sporting Blog. I’m happy for him, yet bummed that our bylines will no longer share the same page. (And this concludes my blogging about bloggers for the week.)

With Expectations Come Vitriol

With Ron in a hazy Mardi Gras-induced delirium, I volunteered to do the recap for the Utah Game.  However, I'm not really a masochist, and the memory of that game is about as welcome as a scorching hot case of 'rhoids.  I'll hit a few points from the game at the end of this…

Pissed Pax Comments on Michael Heisley

[From the Diaries. Yes, there are reasons to not want to pay Pau Gasol max money. That said, I do have a problem with the 'no luxury tax, not ever' edict that I still want to believe isn't true, but gains more supporting evidence each week. Also, it bothers me that Pax comments on the ethics over…

Oklahoma City courts Sonics

An interesting article from The Oklahoman, where Sonics chairman Clay Bennett talks about his frustrations in dealing with the Sonics since purchasing the franchise in July 2006. Here’s an excerpt. While reflecting on his decision to join the NBA world in front of a crowd of about 100 at…

“Look at the pretty moving pictures” filler

I’m not even sure there are any Pistons in that video. As my title suggests, this is 100% pure, unadulterated filler, intended solely to knock a dated game post off the top of the page until I have time to actually, you know, write something original.

Getting Some Love From the Cunninghams

Thought I’d pass this along. Got this link from Berri’s blog: http://bucksdiary.blogspot.com/2008/02/two-ferocious-knickerbockers.html A couple of months ago I suggested that if I was the Milwaukee Bucks GM, this offseason I would offer up the team’s lottery spot to the New York…

Struggling Carroll sits one out

Stray thoughts at the end of a 1-4 road trip: -- Matt Carroll is in a deep slump, and I guess Sam Vincent no longer has the luxury of letting Carroll play out of it. Carroll was DNP-CD Monday (NBA...

Seattle trails at the half

The Sonics trail 56-49 at the half. Most notably Seattle is getting owned on the glass. Rebounding had been one of Seattle's strengths during the team's three-game winning streak. But the Bulls have a 27-17 advantage on the boards, including 14 offensive rebounds. Joe Smith leads Chicago with 14…
