ATLANTA – The Lakers might be better with Pau Gasol, but it’s still useful to have a functioning Kobe Bryant. Without Bryant’s jump shot for the second consecutive night, the Lakers couldn’t pull out a victory against a more energized Atlanta team on Wednesday night. Bryant shot 4 for 16…

MIAMI — Dwyane Wade looked overburdened out there, a perspective Kobe Bryant knows well. But Bryant, asked about Wade, had some interesting points to make about what it’s like to play with and without Shaquille O’Neal, who just left Miami for Phoenix. We’ll have to see how…

Recently I, your loyal Hornets247 Blogger, began a series of undercover investigations into the players that make up your New Orleans Hornets. Risking life and limb, I have uncovered a terrible secret involving occult arts most foul. I also have proof of active participation, perhaps…

I always thought Nazr Mohammed got something of a raw deal with the Pistons, so I’m happy to see him flourishing with the Bobcats. Since being moved, he’s averaged 10 points and almost eight boards in 24 minutes a game — and in his first game against the Pistons last month down…

Seriously, I don't know if my heart can take it anymore. Our inability to break a lead open and run away with a game (aside from the Bobcats game of course) is really starting to become a concern. Are we spoiled? Should we be this cynical about our team when we just hit 10 games above .500?!…

Tell me if you heard this before. The Knick starters begin the game and the opponent takes the lead. The bench comes in and the game is close again by halftime. The third quarter begins with the starters on the floor again, and the opponent takes a huge lead. The reserves come in and again [...]
