Bobcats Sign Hughes

Without a doubt, in my opinion, a case of a team making a bad personnel decision, according to the Associated Press, the Charlotte Hornets have signed veteran guard Larry Hughes to a contract, replacing Flip Murray, who was traded to the Chicago Bulls last month. Interestingly enough, the Bobcats said that they would have signed [...]

Balanced Scoring Helps Lakers Cool Off Suns 102-96

Usually it is the game of both teams on the floor that dictate the winner and loser – usually. During Friday night’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns, it would be the actions of Suns coach Alvin Gentry that would help Los Angeles rally and defeat Phoenix 102-96 at US Airways Center.

Bucks Win Fifth Straight, KO Jazz 95-87

Truth be told, I can honestly say that I did not pay the Milwaukee Bucks much attention this season as they seem to have this knack of teasing their fans with their promise, but inevitably winding up disappointed.

It was a homecoming of sorts for the New Orleans Hornets as they visited the Ford Center for their game Wednesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. More than likely, it was bittersweet as it was their home court for two seasons following Hurricane Katrina. The matchup, in and of itself, was between two teams [...]

Kobe Hits Game-winning Basket, Lakers Edge Raptors 109-107

You can probably count on both of your hands the number of times that Kobe Bryant has scored the game-winning basket and saved the Los Angeles Lakers from the jaws of defeat. As it would turn out, Bryant would help the Lakers rally from a deficit and drain the game-winning basket with 1.9 seconds left, [...]

Dunleavy Gets Trump Treatment From Clippers

I cannot for the life of me think of a NBA coach who resigns from then gets fired by the same franchise in the same season, yet it actually happened as on Tuesday, the Associated Press is reporting that the Los Angeles Clippers have fired coach-turned-general manager Mike Dunleavy. His replacement for the remainder – presumably [...]
