Kings Rise To .500, Swat Hornets 112-96
One of the more surprising teams in the NBA at this stage of the NBA season has to be the Sacramento Kings. One must consider that their team is relatively young and experienced not to mention they have a new head coach in Paul Westphal; that combination usually means a young team that is slowly [...]
Lakers Shoot 54%; Destroy Warriors 130-97
One thing that the Los Angeles Lakers are not is offensively challenged. Granted they’re not the Phoenix Suns, but at the same time they’re certainly not the New Jersey Nets either. Fortunately for Los Angeles, their opponent in Saturday night’s game – the Golden State Warriors – consider defense an afterthought for 48 minutes a [...]
Sacramento’s Learning Curve Is A Work In Progress
As I have stated before I’m a big proponent of Sacramento. Last night however they showed youth. They allowed a CBA team calling themselves the New Jersey Nets to make it a contest. Paul Westphal first had to turn to Sean May and when that experiment failed they brought in Kenny Thomas. Kenny was able [...]
Nets Drop 16th Straight, Kings Prevail 109-96
I think that it can be said that the New Jersey Nets will eventually win a game this season, despite their injury woes and a relatively young roster. They would look to snap their long losing streak as they traveled to Sacramento to take on the ever-improving Kings; unfortunately for the Nets, the Kings would [...]
Nowitzki’s 31 Helps Mavericks Squash Pacers 113-92
Apparently, road trips agree with the Dallas Mavericks these days; they made the journey to Indianapolis to take on the Indiana Pacers, who would welcome the return of Mike Dunleavy, who had been out for some time with a right knee injury. Unfortunately for the Pacers, even Dunleavy at 100% was not enough as the [...]
Boozer Helps Jazz Make Losers Out Of Bulls 105-86
Thursday’s game between the Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz made one wonder who had the tryptophan-laced, pre-game meal before tipoff. One thing that is for certain: the game was one of polar opposites. The Jazz, led by Carlos Boozer’s 28 points, shot a scorching 60.8% from the field while the Bulls shot only 42%. As [...]
Iverson To Become Prodigal Son?
Folks, you can file this under “Strange But True”, but the word according to Stephen A. Smith over at Fox Sports is that *gulp* the Philadelphia 76ers are seriously considering bringing back former Sixer Allen Iverson into the fold. That’s right – Iverson may return to the “City of Brotherly Love.” Unnamed sources are saying [...]
