Posted in The Chicago Bulls have not had newly acquired John Salmons and Brad Miller – former Sacramento Kings – for very long yet they seem to be helping the Bulls in their quest for better playoff positioning. In Wednesday night’s game against the Golden State Warriors, Salmons and Miller combined for 42 points, leading Chicago to [...]

Delonte Delights Cleveland Fans Cavaliers Shoot Down Bucks 91-73
Coming off a tough road trip with winning three of four games, it would have been easy for the Cavs to return home Tuesday night and not have a solid effort vs the Milwaukee Bucks. But that’s not how this Cavaliers team rolls. Led by a solid outing from Delonte West in which he had [...]
Captain Jack Returns, Warriors Declaw Timberwolves 118-94
I wonder how many more times Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson will rest his starters in lieu of giving the younger players more playing, based on how his team played tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night at Target Center. Personally, I think that Nellie should use his regular rotation; Stephen Jackson, fresh from [...]
Pacers Hi-Jack Kings 117-109
Apparently, the Indiana Pacers are making a sincere effort to try and catch the Milwaukee Bucks for the 8th playoff spot in the Eastern Conference; they would have that chance as they ventured to Arco Arena to take on the Sacramento Kings Tuesday night. The Pacers, without Danny Granger and Mike Dunleavy, got their offensive production [...]
Spurs Pull Away In Third Quarter, Destroy Clippers 106-78

Jazz Win Streak Now Nine, Beat Short-Handed Warriors 112-104
As I had alluded to in previous posts, the Utah Jazz has a variety of scoring options – both in their starting lineup and from off the bench. Perhaps what is different about this team is that on any given night, you never know who the #1 scoring option is going to be. That air [...]
Balanced Scoring Helps Pacers Bounce Nuggets 100-94
In the mad rush for the 8th and final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference, the Indiana Pacers are currently treading water. But they have one thing on their side – albeit unrelated – they have this knack of beating divisional leaders at Conseco Fieldhouse – with the lone exception being the San Antonio Spurs. [...]
Jazz Win Streak Up To 7, Crown Kings 102-89
The Utah Jazz have the luxury of when their starting lineup is slumping, they have a bench that in my opinion is one of the better benches in the NBA. Nonetheless, in their game against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, their bench didn’t do so much; but then again it didn’t have to as Ronnie [...]
