Howard Feasts On Wizards’ Frontcourt, Magic Win Big 105-90

After the Orlando Magic-Washington Wizards game on Thursday, I had an epiphany; well, not exactly that, but a truth did come out: Magic center Dwight Howard is the best center in the NBA.  He illustrated that as he had 17 first-half points, toying with the Wizards’ frontcourt at his leisure.  The end result?  Orlando embarrassed [...]

Vinsanity Reigns At Arco, Nets Edge Kings In OT 116-114

Neither the New Jersey Nets or the Sacramento Kings shot especially well during their game Wednesday night at Arco Arena; but as has been the habit lately for the Kings, they let the second half get away from them as Vince Carter and Devin Harris made key baskets in the fourth and overtime periods, leading New [...]

Apparently it must be something in the drinking water in the Willamette River, the tributary that flows alongside the city of Portland, OR – the home of the Trail Blazers.  the Miami Heat came to take on the Trail Blazers Wednesday night and their effort gave the impression that they were lethargic – or at least [...]

LeBron Maintains Calm In Eye Of Media Storm As Cavaliers Take Manhattan

All the talk entering Tuesday nights game with the Knicks was about 2010 and LeBron James jumping ship to play in the Big Apple. For now, James is and will remain a member of the Cavs, and he and his teammates continue to play championship basketball, dominating the Knicks 119-101 at Madison Square Garden to [...]

Terry Leads Late Mavericks Rally, Edge Pacers 109-106

One would typically think that Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki would be the go-to guy during a game where a rally is taking place; if you thought that during the Mavericks’ game against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, then you thought wrong.  It was none other than bench player supreme Jason Terry.  Terry led a [...]
