Posted in The Sacramento Kings, in their game on Thursday against the Houston Rockets at Arco Arena, showed why they are the worst team in the NBA. A good first half, but unfortunately for them, a lackluster second half. This habit reared its ugly head once again as Houston turned a 5-point deficit at halftime into a [...]

Pacers Shoot 55%, Blast Raptors 130-101
Although the Indiana Pacers more than likely will not make the playoffs, you cannot accuse them of playing out the string. In Wednesday’s game against the Toronto Raptors at Conseco Fieldhouse, they played like a team that was actually in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt; they shot 54.9% from the floor as they easily disposed [...]
Lakers Make Short Work Of Kings 122-104
Just two nights ago, the Los Angeles Lakers played and defeated the Los Angeles Clippers. Not very news-worthy, for the most part – except that they had to rally to hang on for the win. Fortunately for the Lakers on Tuesday, they had an opponent who would wind up giving them absolutely no problems – [...]

Neither team shot well, but apparently Kelenna Azubuike had the Kings’ number as he scored 30 points, [...]
Back In The Saddle Again! Cavaliers Stop Spurs 101-81
The world is not coming to an end in Cleveland, thanks in part to LeBron James – as usual. The MVP candidate and Cavaliers golden boy was on fire for the Cavaliers, as the team stopped a stunning two-game losing streak with an impressive 101-81 win over the Southwest leading San Antonio Spurs. “If I’d [...]
Tar Heels Go To NCAA Title Game, Throttle Wildcats 83-69
You have to admit – the Villanova Wildcats overachieved. I do not say that as a knock against the team at all; if I remember any of the preseason predictions and rankings prior to this tournament, the Wildcats were not supposed to advance this far, yet here they are. Unfortunately for them on Saturday, their [...]
Shorthanded Warriors Defeat Hornets 111-103
Typically if you’re an NBA team and you’re short a few players, then you’re usually at a distinct disadvantage. Consider the Golden State Warriors as one of those teams yet a funny thing happened on Friday night at Oracle Arena. In their game against the New Orleans Hornets, they suited up only 7 players; one [...]
