With most of their guys back healthy from the flu and various other injuries, the Cavs smashed the Mavs by 30 last night at the University of Pittsburgh gym. (Since when do Cleveland teams get love in Pittsburgh?) Mo Williams had 16 points and 11 assists, LeBron put up 12 points on 3-of-13 shooting and seven dimes, and Big Z scored 16 off the bench … Dallas was the team playing short-handed, as Dirk, J-Kidd and Jason Terry were given the night off, and Josh Howard and Shawn Marion are still banged up. So the starting five looked like this: J.J. Barea, Matt Carroll, Quinton Ross, Drew Gooden and Erick Dampier.

Who do you want your offense to run through with everything on the line? Counting down 30th to 1st (one per team), I’ve ranked the League’s go-to guys…
Whoever came up with the line, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression,” should have made a fortune off advertising royalties — and they just happened to coin the phrase that has defined Dirk Nowitzki’s career. Read More »
One thing you don’t truly understand about the “real world” when you’re in school is what life is like in an office. For example, knowing the people that work at UPS and FedEx is a great thing. With so many things and people coming in and out of the office, sometimes things get lost in the shuffle. So when we saw a brown box just sitting by the door from our friends at 2K Sports, still unopened, we acted fast. Read More »
Last season, the Orlando Magic kind of snuck up on the rest of the league. While everybody knew that they had a solid roster, not many expected them to come out as Eastern Conference Champions. This time around, Orlando is not only one of the favorites to win the East again but is right there in the mix to compete for a title as well. This time around, the path will be a little different.

This offseason we’ve seen a lot of new jerseys drop. From the Sixers to the Bobcats to the Rockets, teams are looking to get fresh and add an alternate style to mix (and the team store) before things get underway. But of all the jerseys I’ve seen so far, none even come close to the new one for the Grizzlies. Read More »
After last week’s Stephen Jackson vs. Kobe Bryant battle which resulted in a two game suspension and Capt. Jack losing his captaincy, S-Jax is at it again.

Imagine Devin Harris dropping by your pool party. Or having Brook Lopez stop by your company shindig. You could probably even have Rafer Alston come kick it at your wedding. The New Jersey Nets can make it happen if you got $25,000. In the team’s latest effort to appeal to their affluent clientele, the Nets are offering a package where you can have a Net of your choice show up to a party or event for an hour if you purchase a courtside seats ticket package.
