Posted in When you think of the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers, you think of two things: arguably the two best teams in the Western Conference, although I am sure you’d get some disagreement from the Utah Jazz fans – and rightfully so. You can add a pair of high-octane offenses into the mix, as well, [...]

D-Will’s Big First Quarter Helps Jazz Shoot Down Rockets 133-110
Deron Williams can be considered a true professional. While a good number of players, after they have a bad game, blame anyone but themselves, Williams put the burden upon himself after his team lost to the Sacramento Kings Friday night. Apparently Williams was genuinely angry because during the Jazz’ game against the Houston Rockets [...]
West’s 40 Helps Hornets Rally Past Magic 100-93
An unlikely hero came out of the Orlando Magic-New Orleans Hornets game Friday night: former Chicago Bull Aaron Gray. Dwight Howard was having his way with the frontcourt of the Hornets when coach Jeff Bower inserted little-used Gray. The maneuver worked as he was able to slow Howard down, allowing New Orleans to rally from [...]
Nowitzki, Kidd Help Mavericks Outlast Hawks In OT 111-103
Friday night’s game between the Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena was rather competitive, from start to finish. But perhaps the turning point of the contest was late in the fourth quarter. Jason Kidd was dribbling down the left sideline with 1:37 left in the fourth quarter when Hawks coach Mike Woodson took [...]
Nuggets Dial Long Distance, Pummel Warriors 127-112
One thing is for certain these days – the Western Conference teams, by and large, score more points on a per-team basis than their Eastern Conference counterparts. The Denver Nuggets could possibly be the poster children of high-speed, run-and-gun basketball, with the Golden State Warriors a close second. Speaking of which, both teams got together [...]
Ginobili’s Late Heroics Help Spurs Quiet Thunder 95-87
While the game Wednesday night between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder at AT&T Center was by and large competitive, one play probably turned the tide of the game more than any other. The block. A play that I think will be one of those candidates for “Play of the Year.” The play [...]
Kobe’s Late Basket Helps Lakers Get Past Grizzlies 99-98
Kobe Bryant’s return to the Los Angeles Lakers’ starting lineup was without a doubt welcome news, although they went 4-1 without him. The Lakers on Tuesday had a game against a team with issues of its own, the Memphis Grizzlies; as of late, they have had problems winning at home, having lost three straight [...]
Richardson Floater Helps Suns Snap Thunder’s 9-Game Win Streak 104-102
At the risk of sounding repetitive, I’m going to say that the Oklahoma City Thunder are for real. Not an original statement, mind you, but prior to this season, the Thunder, when they were the Seattle Supersonics, weren’t taken very seriously (unless you followed them from Seattle to Oklahoma City). Now that they have a [...]
