Opinion: Howard Dominates Overtime as Magic Win Pivotal Game Four Versus Cavalliers
Dwight Howard scored 10 of his team-high 27 points in overtime as the Orlando Magic posted a 116-114 victory to take a 3-1 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. Howard led both teams in rebounds (14) and blocked shots (three) while also passing for four assists. Howard had two dunks and a layup in the first 2:13 of overtime and if the Cavs lose this series they will long rue not sending Howard--a .594 free throw shooter in the regular season who is shooting .638 ...   [read the full post]

Rate Pistons: The Pistons' Rite Of Summer Arrives Again, Right On Schedule

Original at gregeno (Blogspot) external link    Wed, Jul 1

By Greg Eno(noreply@blogger.com) Joe Dumars fires a coach. When will Dumars' noggin join them? Maybe Joe should coach the Pistons himself. Then Rick Carlisle, whose belly was simply bursting with fire, was hired. But Flip Saunders rubbed the players the wrong way, eventually. So Dumars hired Curry after just one season as Saunders' assistant. A 39-43 record. An embarrassing sweep at the hands of the formerly-tormented Cleveland Cavaliers. A complete loss of the players' respect. Rip Hamilton, by the way, disappointed me. Dumars is an anomaly. Speculation is that the still-green Curry was an obstacle to players signing with the Pistons. The Pistons' Engine Has Been Rebuilt!"   [read the full post]
