Hornets Still Perfect, Sting Trail Blazers 107-87

I think that it is a safe assumption to say that Chris Paul is the main reason that the New Orleans Hornets were perfect at 7-0, going into their game against the visiting Portland Trail Blazers. Of course, Paul is getting help along the way, but CP-3 is the straw that stirs the drink in [...]

Allen Trey Helps Celtics Down Grizzlies In OT 116-110

The way the Boston Celtics are playing these days, perhaps the NBA should rename the Atlantic Division the Celtics Division. Prior to their game against the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum, Boston was riding a three-game win streak on the road, downing Oklahoma City, Dallas and Miami – an impressive feat in itself. But the Celtics [...]

Big Second Half Leads Indiana Over Cleveland 99-85

If the Cavs could only skip halftime. Again on Saturday night at home, the Cavs played a solid 24 minutes to start the game, only to then fall apart in the second half as they fell to 4-5 with a 99-85 loss to the Indiana Pacers. “I think we were out there flying around, they [...]

Yao-less Rockets Edge Pacers 102-99

Because the Houston Rockets are without the services of center Yao Ming for about a week or so, they are utilizing the duo of Brad Miller and Luis Scola to man the middle for the short-term. During their game against the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse, the absence of Yao in the middle was hardly noticed [...]

NBA Talk: Blame Can Not Go All On Chris Bosh, But He Needs to Step It Up

Notice that picture right up there. Look at that above. I’d be screaming too if I were playing like that. We know that game he played in. The Miami Heat were up by 20 points, but then blew it losing to the Utah Jazz. The undersized power forward Paul Millsap got a bunch of rebounds [...]

Allen Iverson Not Ready to Play In Debut with Turkey

Allen Iverson tells the Associated Press that he will not be ready to play with the Turkish pro basketball team, the Besiktas. It will be postponed. Iverson said he did not feel ready to play today. He instead watched his team play, as they beat the Oyak Renault in a 87-81 victory. I bet if [...]

Paul Pierce Disses LeBron James On Twitter

The Boston Celtics recently beat the Miami Heat, 112-107, in the team’s rematch after Boston pummeled Miami in the season-opener, triumphing towards a 88-80 win. Paul Pierce got at the Heat, and LeBron James, again, too. Pierce scored 25 points, although James had a near triple-double. Pierce, however, did another thing after the game. He [...]

Yao Expected To Be Sidelined For At Least A Week

A Team No Longer Centered Around Yao? The big fella Yao will be sidelined for at least one week, due to a mild left ankle sprain; not a leg/foot injury, which was originally the diagnosis. The 7-6 giant was hurt in the first quarter of the team’s 98-91 loss in the Nation’s Capital on Wednesday [...]
