Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. Tonight the Warriors came out and looked like the team that we all know that they can be. They faced a situation where they knew what needed to be done against a team that they knew they could do it to, and what did they do? They gave them the business. …

I wish I could gaurantee a second straight trip to the playoffs for Dubs Nation, but I'm not a hoops god, just a hoops junkie. But I can promise the mighty GSoM community that something BIG is coming real soon. BIGGER than Inflatable Thunder. This is so hype we've invited our man Franco Finn…

There's a lot of people milling around that you don't normally see during the year with the potential of this game being perhaps the last one in Sonics history. However, everyone that I've talked to remains strangely optimistic that the team will be around for at least for another year. Who…

By CURTIS ZUPKE The Orange County Register LOS ANGELES - The Lakers can see beyond the Pacific rim after a 106-85 victory against San Antonio on Sunday at Staples Center put them in position to claim the top seed in the Western Conference. The Lakers moved into sole possession of No.1, a half-game…

[ed. note: Thanks to chgobr for today's game preview. -Matt] A loss tonight ties us with Charlotte and puts us two games behind Jersey with two games left. Tie breakers are broken by drawings so we will not be penalized by having won the series with Charlotte 3-1. The 8th pick is…

By CURTIS ZUPKE The Orange County Register LOS ANGELES - The Lakers woke up Sunday morning to find themselves tied with New Orleans for the top spot in the Western Conference. Coach Phil Jackson has understandably stayed away from running through all the playoff scenarios with his played, but he…

Yep … another All-Time Team post. It’s worth it, though: Scott Hastings had me rolling.

With the Pistons locked into the No. 2 seed, it’s clear that the only thing left to play for is guaranteeing home court advantage should they advance to the NBA Finals. This obviously entails finishing with a better record than any team in the West, which, for the moment, means the Pistons…

Dunleavy: No f*^&$&% way the Warriors can still be in the playoff hunt! Response: Talk to the hand cause the ear's not listening! Last night was monumental. Not only did Denver lose, badly, bringing our Warriors into a temporary tie for the final playoff spot, Patrick O' Bryant…

Even more All-Time Team stuff? I promise, this is (probably) the last of it: here’s video of the entire ceremony courtesy of Need4Sheed, as well as the montage the Pistons put together courtesy PistonsNation.

Chris McCosky of the Detroit News offers some final thoughts on the Tuesday’s All-Time Team ceremony in his blog, including a not-so-flattering depiction of John Salley: This guy has become an insufferable jerk. I am not kidding. The guy shouldn’t even have been on the all-time team, in…

I love YouTube just because you can find random videos like this that make it look like the 2002 playoff series between the Pistons and Raptors was the second coming of the 1980’s Pistons vs. Celtics. The way things are looking right now, the Pistons and Raptors may renew that playoff…

That might have been the most disappointing performance of the season by the Hornets. Looking to bounce back from their loss to the Lakers on Friday, they rolled in to Sacramento to face a lottery-bound Kings team missing two starters. You'd think we'd win such a game even if Chris Paul was…
