Richardson, Nash Lead Suns Past Grizzlies 123-118 In 2 OT’s

ESPN should have televised the Memphis Grizzlies-Phoenix Suns game instead of the Los Angeles Clippers-Denver Nuggets game, which explains why I am a blogger instead of a network TV executive. 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 [...]

Turkoglu Stands Up For Bosh

Paul sent this in: Last week Slam Dunk Central reported that Raptors GM, Bryan Colangelo, publicly stated how Chris Bosh, the face of the franchise for seven years, “quit” on the Raptors last season. Today, former teammate Hedo Turkoglu came to Bosh’s aid, courtesy of the Canadian Press: “People have to realize something is wrong with [...]

Bosh’s Game-Winner Helps Raptors Rally, Nip Hawks 106-105

Chris Bosh, during the Toronto Raptors’ game against the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday night, was suffering through a sub-par shooting performance. His numbers weren’t all that special (14 points on 6-of-19 shooting), yet it took just one shot to turn the tables. Bosh’s 16-footer with just 2 seconds left on the game clock allowed Toronto to [...]

Ginobili Helps Shorthanded Spurs Beat Raptors 131-124

The San Antonio Spurs, by at least their standards, are struggling. Injuries have been the main culprit as during Monday’s game against the Toronto Raptors, they were missing Tony Parker and Tim Duncan – out due to injuries. Which meant that they would have to turn to their “third option”, Manu Ginobili, as their “go-to” [...]

Howard-less Magic Boot 76ers From Playoffs, Prevail 114-89

The Philadelphia 76ers have always been a competitive team, despite their playoff record recently.  And this year’s first-round series between the Sixers and Orlando Magic has been no different.  You look on paper and one would think that Orlando would have the decided advantage.  But Philadelphia has beaten better teams in the first round in [...]

Turkoglu’s Late Trey Sends Magic Past 76ers 84-81

One thing that can be said about the series involving the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic is that if anything else, the series has been competitive, with the victor in each game winning by no more than 9 points.  Sunday’s game between the Magic and 76ers would prove to be no different as Hedo Turkoglu [...]

Turkoglu Leads Big Second Half Magic Rally, Edge Knicks 106-102

On most nights, the Orlando Magic-New York Knicks matchup is, for the most part, competitive and not exactly low-scoring, either.  Monday night’s game between these two combatants would prove not to disappoint.  Dwight Howard got his points, as expected, but it was Hedo Turkoglu sparked a big second-half Magic rally, enabling Orlando to escape Madison [...]

D-Wade’s Career Game Wasted As Magic Cool Off Heat 122-99

The good news was that Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade had a career night; the bad news was that this career achievement by Wade was wasted as their opponent in Sunday’s game, the Orlando Magic – with seven players in double digits – shot nearly 55%; long story short, Orlando annihilated Miami in the Battle [...]
