Posted in After being embarrassed at home by the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday, the San Antonio Spurs obviously had to regroup and regain their focus as they had to face them yet again on Monday.

Cavaliers’ Brown To Win NBA Coach Of The Year
Later on today, according to Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Cleveland Cavaliers are scheduling a news conference at which team coach Mike Brown is expected to win the NBA Coach of the Year award – although the NBA and the team have refused to confirm the announcement. Assuming this is the case, Brown would [...]
Hawks Decimate Heat 90-64
In this day of age, if a team scores 64 points in a half, then you’re an offensive juggernaut; on the other hand, if you score 64 after three quarters, then your offense is marginal, at best. But in Sunday’s game between the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks, the Heat managed to do what a [...]
76ers Rally From 18 Down, Upset Magic 100-98
The Amway Arena – at least for one night – was rather silent on Sunday when the Philadelphia 76ers took on the Orlando Magic. I obviously do not know where they found it, but the 76ers, despite 31 points from Dwight Howard, somehow managed to rally from an 18-point deficit to slip past the Magic 100-98. Philadelphia [...]

But the Mavericks decided to do something about that issue as they shot 54% from the floor, defeating the San Antonio Spurs Saturday 105-97 [...]
Never a Doubt: Cavs Dominate Pistons in Game One 102-84
The Cavs slogan for the 2009 NBA Playoffs is rather simple – “One Goal.” Saturday afternoon in game one at Quicken Loans Arena, that goal got just a little bit closer, as the team scored their first win of the postseason, dominating the Detroit Pistons 102-84. It was the workman like effort that has made [...]
Jackson, Kobe Returning to Lakers? Signs Point Towards Yes
It is pretty much a given that every year after the NBA season is completely finished, Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson holes up in Montana (Wyoming?) to reflect and decide whether he wants to return to coach for another season. This time will be no different as Jackson has given a variety of different [...]
Cavaliers Lose Season Finale To Sixers In O/T 111-110
In what the Cavs treated as more like a preseason game, the sellout crowd at Quicken Loans Arena saw the team with the leagues best record fall at home for just the second time in the 2008-2009 season, losing to the Philadelphia 76′ers 111-110 in overtime. It was only the 2nd time all year the [...]
