B-Roy’s Blazers are a year away.
Wrapping up the regular season, we rank the non-playoff teams. Come back later today for the playoff team rankings heading into the postseason.
30. Miami Heat (15-67) — Who here is worth keeping? Obviously D-Wade and Marion. Haslem stays because he fills a role that every team needs filled. Daequan Cook […]

Rivalry Weak

Of all the Chris Paul vs. Deron Williams head-to-heads we have seen and will see over the years, last night’s won’t exactly go down in history. The Jazz got the win — which has kind of been the norm in the series so far — clinching the Northwest Division and proving […]

Five matchups to look forward to on Friday’s NBA schedule…
Wolves @ Cavs: Al Jefferson vs. Ben Wallace
In his first real test as the Cavs’ starting power forward, Big Ben kind of got the business from Kevin Garnett. Jefferson (21.4 ppg, 11.8 rpg) is a bit more ground-bound and theoretically easier to guard; […]

As loaded as the Western Conference is — and even moreso after the trade deadline deals — it’s looking more and more like whoever emerges from that side of the playoff bracket will have a whole other kind of hell to deal with coming out of the East. Onto the power […]

* Although he swears that he “doesn’t want Mo’s job,” Larry Brown indicated that he wants to be back on the bench. “I miss the game, sitting here,” said Brown. “I am pretty confident I will [coach] in some capacity, whether it’s an assistant coach, or involved in a franchise in some way, or possibly […]

The D-O-double-G
After we showed Jay-Z some love in last week’s Hit List, the Dime West Coast contingent (b.k.a. Austin & Nay) demanded we give their side its due shine this week — which is funny considering that this is the week our Seattle natives get to watch their team assume worst-of-the-worst status. So with that, […]

When will C-Webb suit up for Nellie?
* Multiple sources agree that Chris Webber will be wearing a Warriors uniform before the end of January.
* Ironically, on the same night that Nellie set wheels in motion to bolster the Warriors’ presence on the boards, Andris Biedrins cleaned the glass single-handedly with 11 points and 26 […]

Hedo’s Heroics
Put the Magic on that list of teams who could give the Celtics a serious problem come postseason. Orlando handed the C’s another loss yesterday when Hedo Turkoglu (27 pts) stuck a three-pointer at the buzzer. With the game tied and the clock running out, Hedo took it up top, being guarded by Paul Pierce […]

* The Raptors were as close to perfect as a team gets last night, sinking 15-21 triples en route to a 114-112 upset of the Celtics. “Half the guys in our league couldn’t shoot 15-for-21 if they were in a gym by themselves,” said Doc Rivers. “It was almost like we didn’t believe they would […]

Aside from Tim Duncan beasting Kwame Brown (who’s starting to develop a Jermaine O’Neal-sized forehead), the Spurs didn’t play well at all in the first half yesterday. Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili weren’t doing anything, and the San Antonio defense was opening up left and right to allow the Lakers open shots. Then, […]

No NBA games on the schedule yesterday, since everyone knows New Year’s Day belongs to college football. To kick off 2008, though, we’ve got a brand-new NBA Hit List power ranking for you. Not much has changed at the bottom — Al Jefferson and Zach Randolph’s squads are […]

Maybe the Cavs can contend for a ‘chip after all. If they play defense like they did in Dallas last night and get offensive contributions from a couple of guys other than LeBron ( Big Z and Larry Hughes stepped up), they can at least play with anyone, just like last year, and keep […]

Lost Ones
Awwwwdaaaamn!
Here’s the problem with the Cavs: While their #1 is one of the five best players in the world and has playing better than anyone anywhere for the last month or so, 2-through-12 they’ve got a collection of talent that’s subpar at best. Hence the .500 record for most of this season, and hence the […]

Some of the greatest source of stats come from the power forward spot. In one position you can get points, boards, threes, blocks, and percentages. Really you can.
1. Kevin Garnett – KG is a fantasy monster and that’s not about to change in the East. Yes, there […]

Doc’s Orders
Don’t wear him out early, Doc…
There’s a reason (or three) why Celtics fans fear Doc Rivers could be the biggest hurdle standing between the Big Three and a championship. Take, for example, the way Doc has been managing Ray Allen’s minutes. Over the weekend Doc sat KG and Paul Pierce for a game in which […]
