Ron is busy today, so I get to bring you the recap. At least he 'says' he's busy. He always sticks me with games we lose, the psychic bastard.I'm not that upset about this loss. It was a blowout, sure, but there were enough positives here that I don't feel…

Time for a new thread, a new rotation, and the chance to see the Knicks without Eddy C and Q in the lineup. The Hawks should be highly motivated with a playoff spot on the line. As for the Knicks, at least they had a better week than Eliot Spitzer.

NEW ORLEANS — The Lakers appear as if they’ll be playing without Pau Gasol for awhile after he sprained his left ankle in the opening minutes of the game. He appeared to get tangled up with Hornets Tyson Chandler and Morris Peterson while Kobe Bryant was taking and making a jump shot.…

HOUSTON — Phil Jackson named Luke Walton, Lamar Odom and Kobe Bryant as the players the Lakers will need to get more post production from to counteract the absence of Pau Gasol. Then Jackson said about Odom needing to be more aggressive on offense: “I wouldn’t tell him that, but…

Oh Austin... shall we shag before or after the game? I'm down to my last 4 games of the season! (including GSoM Night 4!) Renewal for next year's season and this years playoffs are just too much for me to commit to. (My seats literally doubled in price... the reality of blowing up!) With that in…

Final BoxscoreExactly. In what was supposed to be a matchup to see the new look Suns matchup with a team that ran up and down even more than they did, I was a little disappointed. Shaq was stuck in foul trouble for most of the game totaling just 14 minutes through 3 quarters and sitting the…

In 1995, I experienced puberty full swing, I experienced my first 'real' kiss, I experienced running liners after school 4 days a week for basketball practice, and I experienced some horrible Warriors basketball. I experienced quite a bit at the tender age of 15, but I never experienced…

In the grand scheme of things, regardless of the outcome of home games like this the Warriors are in an unfair situation. Blowout wins against terrible teams are considered meaningless. Close wins like tonight's are cause for concern and losses spell doomsday. Preview/ Open Thread (100+…

I’ve been looking forward to this game for awhile and it seems I’m not alone: the game was bumped from it’s original 6pm start time to 1pm so that ABC could televise it for a national audience. For the oft-overlooked Hornets, it’s about time they get a share of the…

Echoing sentiments expressed to me last week, Amir Johnson told A. Sherrod Blakely he’s fine with uneven playing time so long as the team keeps having success: Johnson said he knew his playing time this season was probably going to fluctuate. “I’m fine with that,” Johnson…
