Opinion: Addition By Subtraction: Jackson Finally Dealt

16 Nov 2009 09:06:56 PST

Written by Adam Lauridsen
Our long national nightmare is over — or at least our three-month local nightmare of a disgruntled Stephen Jackson trying to force his way off the team. Jackson got his wish, the Warriors largely get to hit the reset button, and hopefully everyone will be better off for it. I doubt Bell and...

Written by sportsbloke42
Fans will accept losing to the likes of the Celtics, the Lakers, the Magic and the Cavs. What will infuriate them is losing badly at home to teams in the bottom halves of their conferences. If the Knicks aspire to respectability, games in the Garden against the likes of the Pacers are games the...

Opinion: Clippers 124 - Warriors 117 (Pre-season) - A Tale of Two Halves

It's way too early, but tempting nonetheless, to say that Baron Davis is now ready to be the impact player the Clippers thought they were getting - a year later than expected, but better late than never. After being dismantled by his former teammate Monta Ellis in the first half, Baron came...

Written by aloneconformist(noreply@blogger.com)
The point is, the Lakers showed they will play dirty to win or NEED to play dirty to win. They ARE cheap shot artists. That's what they do. The Houston Rockets are not and they shouldn't start just because L.A. sets the precedent. Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley summed it up perfectly in what may be t...

Opinion: Precision Passing by Bryant Carves Up Nuggets

28 May 2009 05:53:25 PDT

Written by David Friedman(Doc319@yahoo.com)
Carmelo Anthony led the Nuggets with 31 points but he shot just 9-23 from the field and did not score for a 12 minute stretch spanning the third and fourth quarters as the Lakers took control with a 23-5 run; during that crucial time, ESPN's Mark Jackson said, "The question for (Denver Coach) George Karl is, 'Where is Carmelo Anthony?' You need a guy offensively to stop the bleeding." Chauncey Billups had a quiet 12 points and five assists while Kenyon Martin added 12 points but shot just 6-15 from the field as the Lakers invited him to keep shooting his patented no-arc jump shots and awkward runners. J.R. Smith, apparently believing that his salary is linked to three point field goal attempts per minute, shot 1-10 from three point range; this is...

Opinion: Cavs Build 29 Point Lead, Coast to 94-82 Win Over Pistons

22 Apr 2009 06:32:00 PDT

Written by Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman)
The Cleveland Cavaliers used a powerful three pronged offensive attack led by LeBron James plus stifling defense to race to a 29 point lead versus the sputtering Detroit Pistons en route to a 94-82 victory, placing Detroit in a 2-0 hole. James finished with game-high totals in points (29) and rebounds (13), adding six assists while committing only two turnovers. He thrilled the crowd with two sensational third quarter dunks: a two handed monster jam off of a slick bounce pass from Mo Williams at the 5:19 mark to put the Cavs up 61-44 and a two handed windmill fastbreak dunk that made the score 68-46 Cleveland with 3:27 left. Williams established playoff career-highs in points (21) and assists (seven), while Delonte West had 20 points and fo...
