Stephen Rhodes 
Posted in Remember last season when the San Antonio Spurs were booted from the playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks? Fans of the Spurs remember that series all too well. Both teams met again Wednesday night in a rematch of sorts, with the major difference being that Tony Parker and Tim Duncan weren’t available to suit up for the [...]

Granger’s Double-Double Boosts Pacers Past Warriors 108-94
For the past four games, Indiana Pacers forward Danny Granger has been in a bit of a shooting funk, making only 35% of his shot attempts; that would change dramatically as during Wednesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors. As most of you who follow Golden State know already, defense isn’t exactly their strong suit – [...]
Boykins Is Back! Earl Boykins Signs With Washington Wizards!
AP reported that the Wizards have signed the free agent point guard to their roster to help with their severely depleted roster. The Wizards are without guards Javaris Crittenton, Randy Foye and Mike James due to injuries.

Clippers’ Gordon To Miss Another 10 Days
As if the Los Angeles Clippers needed another albatross hanging on their shoulder already, the weight keeps getting heavier.

What isn’t known is that Williams is a thoughtful, well-spoken young man, as evidenced in a questions-and-answers [...]
Thompson Helps Kings Reach .500 Mark, Race Past Thunder 101-98
The Sacramento Kings, for the most part, have played below .500 ball for the past several seasons. Interestingly enough, with a revamped lineup and a new coach in Paul Westphal, the team seems to be playing inspired ball as of late, having won their last two games. During their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder [...]
Late Billups Free Throw Lifts Nuggets Past Bulls 90-89
Call me old-school, but I tend to like defensive-oriented, low-scoring basketball games. That doesn’t necessarily mean I don’t like high-scoring games; on occasion, they can be entertaining. In reference to the Denver Nuggets, they usually are one of the higher scoring teams in the NBA; however, in their contest against the Chicago Bulls, defense was the [...]
