Save or Sonics song

Reader Ryan Parker has penned a song about the Sonics impending departure to Oklahoma City. You can listen to it here. Seattle his shooting 63.2 percent for the half and up 58-51 over Minnesota at halftime. However, Seattle led by 15 points midway through the second quarter and let the T-Wolves…

Phil Jackson’s nouveau “gnat” named Jordy

PORTLAND, ORE. — I had a nice chat with Jordan Farmar before the game in Seattle on Sunday night about both his individual situation and the team’s bright future. He proceeded to play pretty badly that night, but nevertheless I opined about Jordy’s underrated value to the team now…

Bobcats' Vincent 'firmly' committed to Felton at point

So many of the Bobcats’ rotation decisions this season were written on an Etch A Sketch. You know: Shake it and it goes away. This one would be harder to shake off: "That’s firmly my position," coach Sam Vincent said,...

Lakers 108, Mavericks 104

LOS ANGELES – The Lakers won’t get another major test for 12 days – when they start a trip to New Orleans, Houston, Dallas and Utah – so they sought to make this one count Sunday against Dallas at Staples Center. And they did push past the Mavericks down the stretch with an improved defense…

Pistons are in Denver

It’s Chucky! Sadly, he’s still sidelined with a hernia and won’t be playing tonight — since the game actually already started (my bad), I’ll keep this short. Leave your thoughts in the comments, for those of you not stuck Montana/Idaho State.

Stampeding out of the most pathetic playoff race ever

Boylan is still a steamy turd. Here's his pregame explanation on why he moved Gooden to the starting lineup: I feel like it's time, Drew is a physical presence around the basket. Especially in a game like today, we need that. Going forward, I feel we need that at the start of games. Tyrus…

Tex Winter on Kobe’s best: now or before?

Gameday Open Thread: Hornets @ Wizards

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…

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…

Rumor: Warriors Interested in Jeff McInnis

The Warriors struck out during this year's in-season trade sweepstakes, but have no fear my friends. Help could be on the way in form of a recently cut Charlotte BETcat [The Charlotte Observer]: [Jeff] McInnis, a 10-year veteran, started 26 of 54 games, averaging 26 minutes. His…

Open Game Thread # 59: Bulls at Cleveland Cavaliers

I was much more excited for this game before Friday night. National TV (which I don't care about the 'exposure', just a chance to hear different broadcast crews), against a 'rival' who now has one of the most reviled players in team history. Honestly, how great will it be to watch Ben Wallace do…
