The Sonics officially announced that Eddie Gill was not resigned after his 10-day contract expired. To fill out the 15-man roster, the Sonics signed 6-foot-7 swingman Ronald Dupree to a 10-day contract. The 27-year-old last played in the NBA for the Detroit Pistons earlier this season. But…

Playing out the string
Another game, another loss for the Sonics as they head toward a franchise record for futility this season. Seattle’s chances for another win this season look bleak. They face playoff contenders in the last seven games, including Houston and Dallas twice, along with Denver, Golden State…

Stat Pack: Evaluating Team Improvement
About the mid-point of the season I did an evaluation of which teams had improved the most from last season, basing the ranking on the Defensive and Offensive Efficiencies of the teams from year to year. Now that we are near the end of the season, and the numbers probably won't fluctuate…

The NBA can learn from March Madness
I’m not a fan of college basketball whatsoever, but I really get into March Madness. Clearly, the suits in the NCAA’s offices are on to something (beyond just making billions of dollars while not paying athletes a dime). What can the NBA take from the success of March Madness?…

All-Starbucks Team
This cracked me up: the Pistons just announced their All-Starbucks Team — players whose cup of coffee with the Pistons lasted 10 games or fewer. I remember Pepe Sanchez and Jermaine Jackson, but Tracy Moore? Cozell McQueen? Bubbles Hawkins? I’ll have to take their word.

Sheed vs. Adriana
I think Sheed is going to need your help (and then some) in the second round of the BDL Bedlam Tournament.

New time for DBB/N4S Blogfest
I’m guessing most of you have long-since tuned out that big, shiny Blogfest graphic to the right, but if you look at it again you’ll see that there’s a new time listed: the NBA has bumped up the 4/13 game between the Pistons and Raptors to 1pm so that ABC could televise it as the…

RECAP: Warriors 86, Mavericks 111 - Upset doesn't begin to describe it
Final BoxscorePretty much the Warriors D the entire night I honestly don't know how to describe what I'm feeling right now. It's a combination of pain while being upset, frustrated, and pessimistic all rolled in one. Part of the anger is with the loss, but the majority of my pain has to do with…

Kobe Bryant’s one-game leadership setback
LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant will almost certainly not be posting another season high in points in this game coming up vs. Washington. Bryant adopted a shoot-first, think-about-the-team-situation-later approach Friday night in the loss to Memphis. Bryant actually shot quite well, but the other…

Lakers 104, Trail Blazers 91
LOS ANGELES – Phil Jackson will acknowledge that most of his great teams from the past will hit a late-season lull before building toward the postseason. Perhaps with the return of Pau Gasol, Jackson’s team is starting its climb for this season. After a three-week absence, Gasol helped the…

The Hornets beat the Heat
The Hornets played a rather uninspiring three quarters of basketball tonight, but the reserves came in and turned it into a blowout in the fourth quarter, thus ensuring a franchise-best fifth win on the road trip. Half-assed notes for a half-assed performance...Final score was 106-77 ( recap | box…

So you wanna trade Gordon or Deng?
As you may have noticed, the 'what I'd do this offseason' diaries and comments have started to accumulate on the site. Usually they include the Bulls giving an opposing GM Rohypnol, and then having their way with their roster while only giving up Andres Nocioni. But if such a grand plan must…
