I won't lie- La Faker fans are some of the dumbest fans in all of sports. If you thought this year's D-League and 23 and under Warriors had a low hoops IQ, just talk to your average Laker fan. Luckily the cats on new Pacific division SBN hoops blog Silver Screen and Roll are infinitely smarter…

I've gone out of my way to diss Pistons fans as barbarians, but this new SBN community Motown String Music has collected the classiest Pistons fans around. Props to them. Game #24- Warriors @ Pistons (12/15/07) Recap: Warriors 87, Pistons 109- Need4CocoaPuffs (12/16/07) The NBA Has a Fan…

Recap: Warriors 72, Spurs 101 - Yeeeeeeeesh!

Oh man. That was just FUGLY. Let me just start by saying that I have the utmost respect for those of you who fought through regular Warriors traffic as well as A's/Red Sox traffic only to witness that abomination of a game. It was a real pity to see the Dubs put up a display like that in their…

Remembering an Era: 2003-04

Once again, here’s Patrick and Pardeep remembering the good old days … MW By Patrick Hayes When the 2003-2004 season started, I was a general studies major at Oakland University and a co-anchor of one of the worst public access sports shows in the history of television, Sideline…

Bulls control destiny for playoff seed tonight

A similar situation happened a couple years ago, with the Bulls needing a win in New Jersey to get the 2nd seed (and a far easier half of the playoff bracket) and 50 wins on the season. They lost. I'm not quite sure what is the better matchup for the Bulls between Boston and Orlando. They're…

2009 Game Thread: Nets vs Knicks

[Back to the old blog style for the last game of the season. In case anyone is curious I'll leave the forums up for now, because a few threads are still active.] These two teams have nothing to play for, or more specifically nothing to win for. A Knick win combined with a Raptor loss would [...]

Bynum considers himself a postseason rookie

LOS ANGELES — One problem Andrew Bynum has always had is being too quick to leave his feet against pump fakes. Utah opponents early in the postseason would be wise to throw a lot of them at Bynum, because he’s even more eager than usual. “I feel well-rested; I am very, very,…

Lakers 125, Jazz 112

LOS ANGELES –The Lakers soundly defeated the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night. Now they’ll gear up to do it again. The Lakers’ victory at Staples Center locked the Jazz into the eighth spot in the Western Conference and set up a Lakers-Jazz first-round playoff series. The Lakers needed six…

Looks like a little Jazz music in the first round

LOS ANGELES — The Lakers’ chances of facing Utah in the first round just shot up with the announcement of the Jazz starting lineup in its must-win-to-avoid-the-Lakers game: Mehmet Okur (hamstring) and C.J. Miles (finger) were listed as game-time decisions but they are being replaced…

Celtics’ Ray Allen gets one-game suspension

Nothing like an elbow to the groin to get you a night off in the NBA. Not when NBA VP Stu Jackson can go to the video. Boston’s Ray Allen was the elbower Sunday, with Cleveland’s Anderson Varejao his target.  It merited a one-game suspension for the Celtics guard, served Tuesday…

You might say Kobe is getting less hot and less crazy

It’s not quite as good as the “hot-crazy scale” on the killer TV comedy  ”How I Met Your Mother” (think “Seinfeld”-esque cleverness with “Friends”-like chemistry … in other words, you’re missing out if you’re not watching…

Not liking the CP3 scenario for the Lakers

  Not sure how it’s going to all shake out in the last two nights of the NBA regular season, but I am certain of one thing after reviewing the scenarios presented by Kevin Ding. If I’m the Lakers, I don’t want to run into the guy flexing, top, in any playoff series soon. Maybe…

Route 66: James’ road to the MVP award

    While on vacation last week, I noted — and applauded — Kevin Ding’s nod to LeBron James as the 2008-09 NBA Most Valuable Player. Reviewing former colleague Marc Stein’s voting choices in his ESPN Weekend Dime, however, I was reminded of the best reason why No. 23…

LeBron vs. Kobe in MVP voting

Orange County Register reporter Kevin Ding wrote a column this morning stating that LeBron James is heavily favored over Kobe Bryant in this season’s NBA voting. What do you think? Who is this year's MVP? Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers: 28.4 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 4.9…

Polling GSoM: Are you glad the Warriors relinquished their right to void Monta Ellis' deal?

Word just broke that the Warriors have relinquished their right to void Monta Ellis' contract after Moped Gate. I'd be happy too if I violated my $66 million contract, destroyed my team's season, and only lost $3 million! J-U-M-P like Kris Kross for more!   To tell you the truth I…
