Pistons are in Clipperland

I can’t figure out what’s more impressive — that half-court shot or this one from Corey Maggette. In any case, here’s to hoping we don’t see any hijinks like that tonight (unless, of course, it’s from a guy wearing a blue jersey) as the Pistons go for their…

The Hornets beat the Jazz

One of the finest games I've seen at the Arena last night. The Hornets came out and played their best quarter of the season in the first, then watched the Jazz chip away at the lead all the way into the final stanza. Four point game, 6:33 left, and then we get massive buckets from Peja…

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…

Fisher tired, slumping

By CURTIS ZUPKE The Orange County Register EL SEGUNDO - Remember when Derek Fisher was on fire? He still is, statistically speaking, but that’s not evident lately. Fisher is in a 5-for-26 shooting slump (and 1-for-12 from 3-point range) the past three games. He went 3-for-11 against…

Lowest point of the season: unspeakable collapse, confirmation coach indeed sucks

Jim Boylan is a rube, a boob, a farce, a fraud, a hack, a joke, and proving himself to be completely unqualified to be an NBA head coach. 'Runs' happen in the NBA, although it's rare to see a 22-1 one to open a half, and from a reeling, injured, Wiz squad. During the first leg of that run,…

YouTubeTuesday: The College Baron

I was surfing around YouTube last night I thought I'd post a couple highlights I found from Baron's college years. Just for fun. The first is one a dribble fake that I'm sure all Warrior fans are familiar with - the behind the back dribble in the open court back to the same hand. The thing…

RECAP: Warriors 110, Hawks 117 - Blame it on the Weekend

The Warriors are déjà vu like Beyonce Knowles.   Its like the Warriors were re-living a game played last year. After beating one of the best teams in the league, the Warriors let the lowly Atlanta Hawks take them to the house.  Granted the Warriors were without,…

OPEN THREAD: 76ers @ Warriors - Go watch "Semi-Pro!"

Warriors (W-L): 34-22 76ers (W-L): 26-32 Time: 7:30pm PST TV: FSN Bay Area Radio: KNBR 680 In my opinion, the Warriors vs. 76ers match-up tonight just doesn't stack-up against the debut of "Semi-Pro."  For those older cats who lived through the ABA, please feel free to let us…

RECAP: Warriors 119, 76ers 97 - Gangsta Gangsta, Tell me how you do it?

Yahoo! final boxscore More accurate from the floor than Tony Parker? Dr. Jeckyl showed up tonight and the Warriors calmly dominated the Warriors-lite the full 48 minutes. In what looked more like a Rookie-Sophmore game than an important playoff-run game, both teams provided some…

Flip Murray to the Pacers

From Chris McCosky’s blog: By the way, what’s the over-under on how many points Flip Murray puts on the Pistons Saturday. From what I am hearing, he will be in uniform for the Clips. I’m going with zero. It seems Murray has reversed course and is now expected to stay in the…

With Billups (likely) out, Stuckey will start

Chauncey Billups returned to Michigan to deal with an undisclosed personal matter. He’s not expected back in time for Saturday’s game, which means Rodney Stuckey should get his first start. In fact, we could even see a little bit of Lindsey Hunter … with an emphasis on little.…

Flip on Amir: “We made a mistake”

Flip Saunders regrets not playing Amir Johnson in Wednesday’s loss to the Jazz. From the Freep: “We got to a point where Maxey was playing really well, and we were trying to match things,” Saunders said. “But we made a mistake — we should have played him. We got in a…

Trail Blazers 119, Lakers 111

LOS ANGELES – From Kobe Bryant on down, the Lakers didn’t bring the individual or team defense necessary to beat a talented and hungry team in a loud road house Friday night. The Lakers’ streak of 10 consecutive victories and seven in a row on the road ended in Portland. When the offensive…

I love Lakersground.net

I encourage you all to drop by Lakersground.net, my new favorite Web site for this brilliant thread (wink, wink) about who is the best Lakers writer. One of their moderators e-mailed me to tell me about it, and I can’t match the likes of Luke Walton or Ronny Turiaf when it comes to humility,…

Lakers 106, Heat 88

LOS ANGELES – Jordan Farmar outscored Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade on Thursday night in the Lakers’ victory over the Miami Heat at Staples Center. The victory was the Lakers 10th consecutive, which ties for the 16th longest streak in club history. After tying his career high with 21 points…

Gasol isn’t learning any power forward yet

LOS ANGELES — You could argue that Phil Jackson, with the Lakers atop the West and humming along, should already be preparing his team to put its best playoff foot forward — which would mean making sure Pau Gasol is fully capable of producing at power forward once Andrew Bynum is back…

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…
