Posted in Never has an 85-78 win been more exciting. Sure, most NBA fans want their teams to win an up-and-down, run-n-gun affair. The Warriors have had their share of those. If the Warriors win, they had better score 100+ points. But on Friday night, there they were, rebounding, defending, hustling, causing turnovers. It was beautiful. The [...]

John Wall and Gilbert Arenas: Can It Work?
John Wall has been coming off of some dazzling performances with the Washington Wizards lately. And he can’t stop. The Washington Wizards have a solid set of guards, and with Gilbert Arenas back, Washington can be just that much better now. Arenas was coming off a rusty performance in his debut, totaling up towards 18 [...]
Trail Blazers Shore Up Center Position
The Portland Trail Blazers certainly didn’t waste any time finding someone to back up Marcus Camby. Saturday found the team signing joiurneyman Sean Marks to a contract, of which the length and financial terms are not known as of the time of this posting. Marks played in 14 games for the New Orleans Hornets last [...]

But I digress. Two teams that are on the upswing got together at US Airways Friday night; the Memphis Grizzlies have a decent starting five [...]
Garnett Defensive Stop Pushes Celtics Past Bulls 110-105 In OT
Arguably the best game of the ESPN doubleheader Friday had to be the tilt between the Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics. I say that only because the network’s broadcasters at the game included Jeff Van Gundy. Don’t get me wrong here, the game itself was excellent. But to have to listen to Jeff Van Gundy pontificate [...]
Heat Reward Cleveland LeBron Fan
In other news: LeBron will start tonight against the Hornets in the Big Easy From Yahoo Sports: Remember Matthew Bellamy? Of course you don’t. Remember the guy that was led from a Cleveland Indians game for his own safety earlier this year because he decided to show up for the contest wearing a Miami Heat jersey [...]
Could the NBA’s Central Division Go Anyone’s Way?
The NBA Central division looks pretty mixed up as of right now. There are currently three teams tied for first place within the division, which are the Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Many would label the Bulls as early favorites, but so far as the first week ended, the Pacers ended up [...]
