Pistons are in Salt Lake City
What is it about the Jazz that give the Pistons fits? The Pistons couldn’t even beat them in the preseason. In fact, they haven’t beat the Jazz since 2005, and they haven’t won in Salt Lake since 2002. The Jazz just dropped a game last night to the Timberwolves, but I’m not…

Lakers 96, Trail Blazers 83
LOS ANGELES – Kobe Bryant brought home a game that might well have slipped away without a sterling outing from him Tuesday night. Jordan Farmar tied his career high with 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting, but Bryant had to do most everything else to beat Portland. Bryant had 30 points, nine rebounds…

Phil on Kobe’s MVP candidacy
LOS ANGELES — Cleveland coach Mike Brown is saying it should already be a done deal that LeBron James wins his first NBA MVP award. But Kobe Bryant’s coach — unlike in past seasons when the Lakers weren’t among the best in the West — is right there behind his…

How much do you want the No. 1 seed?
SEATTLE — With Phoenix’s 30-point loss to the Pistons (see, I told you they’re the team to beat in the East), the Lakers moved into sole possession of the Western Conference’s top spot entering this game in Seattle. San Antonio will undoubtedly be a contender for that No. 1…

Gameday Open Thread: Suns @ Hornets
So the Hornets are back at it again tonight, facing Steve Nash, Shaquille O'Neal and the rest of the Phoenix Suns at New Orleans Arena. We've beat these dudes three times already this season, so hopefully we can do the sweep thing. A win tonight would also help us stop sucking. Info...…

The Lakers’ future
We’re all caught up in what the Lakers could do this season. Let’s stop for a moment and think about what they could do beyond that. In both cases, Jordan Farmar is a major element. Is Lamar Odom? Hmm. Check out my weekly column about the Lakers’ future.

Jackson in line for fine?
By CURTIS ZUPKE The Orange County Register EL SEGUNDO - Given the hard stance the NBA takes regarding coaches and players commenting on its officials, Coach Phil Jackson will probably be called into the principal’s office soon. Jackson delivered another of his patented barbs Sunday when…

Wade matchup ‘old hat’ for Bryant
By CURTIS ZUPKE The Orange County Register EL SEGUNDO - Kobe Bryant is three years older has played seven more NBA seasons than Dwyane Wade, and that might explain why he downplays showdowns with his fellow superstar. “When I first came into the league, I really relished those matchups…

Open Letter to Brent Barry
Brent,I understand this must be a tough time for you. The San Antonio Spurs traded you to Seattle to retool in their quest for a repeat and fifth NBA title. It's gotta hurt. Not only did they feel they could get there without you, now they are dangling money to come back as if nothing happened. A…

The Suns need Snuffing Tonight
Damn that winning streak. The Hornets spent the first half of the year crushing opponents on the defensive end, staying in the top four all the way to February. Then, we had that wonderful nine-game run where not only was our defense solid, but our offense was clicking so smoothly…

That didn’t take long …
Just a few months ago, it was like pulling teeth just to get some members of the media to admit Amir Johnson even belonged in the rotation. Now? There are calls to turn him into a starter. From Terry Foster at the Detroit News: I love the idea of Antonio McDyess coming off the bench for the…

No Movin' On Up + Rumor: Warriors Interested in Brent Barry
Well this year's NBA trading deadline has come and gone faster than you can say "She keeps on passssssssssssssssin me by!" (shout out to the Pharcyde) and the Warriors did... nothing. Absolutely nothing. I have to say it's pretty disappointing. The Warriors are only 5 games…

Final BoxscoreCollison, do you really think you're going to block that? It wasn't pretty (expected) but in the end it still counts as a W. Maybe I'm getting spoiled expecting the Warriors to handily take care of lesser teams. I mean, c'mon, 34 wins already? It used to take 2 years for the…

61: Roger Maris and these Lakers
The Lakers have the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference as of the moment. They might actually be able to keep it given how well they’re playing and how light the rest of the schedule is (17 games left at Staples, nine elsewhere), although San Antonio will absolutely be a factor. How many…

Lakers 111, SuperSonics 91
SEATTLE – It’s awfully fun to be a Laker these days. Sunday night started with Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic and Ronny Turiaf linking arms and dancing in front of the bench upon seeing Lamar Odom make a nifty right-handed finish. It stayed all good from there – Kobe Bryant’s third-quarter…

Bryant: No. 27 in NBA history

Wallace vs. the Bucks (and the Cavs)
Anybody cozy up to their league pass like myself and watch Wallace (and Smith) and the Cavs tonight? Funny to see a stretch in the 2nd quarter where Wallace botched two straight close opportunities. Not that such things can't happen, but to a Bulls fan it's good stuff. I was worried that the…
