Posted in For a good chunk of the season, I had described the Oklahoma City Thunder as a good, young team that will get better over time, despite their current win-loss record. They would enter Arco Arena to play the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night having won 4 of their last 5 games; the game in and of [...]

Jazz Win Streak Now At 12, Decimate Pacers 112-100
The Utah Jazz obviously are looking for better playoff positioning as the season is in its twilight. They brought an 11-game winning streak into Conseco Fieldhouse Tuesday as they took on the Indiana Pacers, who are very much missing leading scorer Danny Granger (torn tendon – foot) and Mike Dunleavy (knee). But turnovers would prove [...]
Hamilton Helps Undermanned Pistons Beat Magic 98-94
Despite being undermanned in their game against the Orlando Magic on Friday night - Allen Iverson is out due to injury and Rasheed Wallace left the game with an injury in the first quarter – the Detroit Pistons made a good showing for themselves as Richard Hamilton picked up the slack. Hamilton scored 29 as both [...]
Three Kings Score 20+ Points, Beat Slumping Nuggets 114-106
Whether the Sacramento Kings brought their A-game to Arco Arena Sunday night as they hosted the Denver Nuggets or the Nuggets simply had a bad game, I suppose is irrelevant at this point. But nonetheless, the Nuggets have lost 6 consecutive road games, dating back to February 18 when they beat the Philadelphia 76ers. Sacramento [...]
Bucks Survive Big Warriors Rally, Win 127-120

Pistons Win 4th Straight, Throttle Warriors 108-91
The experiment of Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson isn’t exactly paying any dividends as the team hasn’t won any games that were without their leading scorer Stephen Jackson in their lineup. Friday night’s game against the Detroit Pistons would find them without Jackson in the lineup and as a result, the expected happened as balanced [...]
Melo’s 38 Allows Nuggets To Crush Trail Blazers 106-90
If Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony’s performance against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday was any indication, then perhaps he should suspended for a game a few more times this season; to wit, Anthony was suspended for one game after the Nuggets’ game against the Indiana Pacers last Sunday. In any case, Anthony returned from the [...]
Roy Leads Trail Blazers’ Late Rally, Edge Pacers 107-105
The Indiana Pacers, in their quest to sneak into the eighth playoff spot, had a daunting task at hand when they ventured to the Rose Garden to take on the Portland Trail Blazers; in what was arguably the best game on Wednesday’s game schedule, both teams went at it for nearly four quarters until a [...]
