Another Long Night For Cleveland In Falling To Toronto 120-105

Night after night, game after game the Cavaliers are finding more and more ways to lose. Wednesday night at home in front of what seemed to be a crowd more worried about free mexican food and bobbleheads, the Cavs lost their 8th in a row, falling to the equally as sorry Toronto Raptors, 120-105. Yes, [...]

Magic Fend Off Undermanned Bucks 97-87

The Milwaukee Bucks are one snakebitten team, with their injuries mounting – or so it seems. They currently are without Brandon Jennings (broken foot), Calros Delfino (concussion symptoms) and Drew Gooden (plantar fasciitis in his left foot). Nevertheless, they went to Amway Center to take on the Orlando Magic Wednesday and with all things considered, [...]

Kings Put Up Good Fight But Lose To Hawks 108-102

It looks like 2011 might be better then 2010. Tonight’s loss is a moral victory. Tyreke Evan’s New Years resolution to show up is coming true. How do you argue with this stat line – 29 points, 4 boards, 8 assists, 5 steals, and 2 blocks? Welcome back to the Kingdom! Your presence was sorely missed. Reke did everything he could [...]

Wade’s 34 Helps Heat Pull Away In Fourth, Burn Bucks 101-89

The Milwaukee Bucks, as of late, have been giant-slayers, having defeated the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks – no small feat there. They would go into Tuesday night facing another NBA powerhouse in the Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena, hoping to maintain the “giant-killer” persona. Suffice it to say, after 48 minutes, the [...]

So without further adieu, here is the 2011 edition of Slam Dunk Central’s NBA Power Rankings: (Listed below are the team name, win-loss record prior to January 2, [...]

James, Wade Combine For 69; Heat Scorches Bobcats 96-82

These days, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James are quite the pair for the Miami Heat; as of late, both have had this habit of scoring 30 or more points each lately, much to chagrin of their opposition. Naturally, when the Heat came rolling into Time Warner Cable Arena Monday, they salivated at the thought of [...]

Obliterated In Orlando, Warriors Lose To Magic 110-90

I’m not quite sure what Keith Smart says to his team at halftime, but he’d be better off keeping quiet, because whatever he is saying isn’t working. For the 2nd straight game, the Warriors went into the break with a nice lead, and then in the 3rd quarter, within a matter of what seems like [...]

Cousins Sparks Late 19-2 Run, Kings Overtake Suns 94-89

Sunday night’s game between the Sacramento Kings and the visiting Phoenix Suns at Arco Arena pitted two teams at the crossroads – Phoenix making a trade that would hopefully give them the impetus to sneak into the NBA playoffs while Sacramento is a team that is going through growing pains with a revamped roster. The Kings [...]
