We told you so…
Everyone wanted to see what Kobe Bryant would do on the night he was presented with the MVP trophy; one notoriously loud national analyst casually predicted he’d score 50, while others talked about triple-doubles and game-winning buckets for the game’s ultimate big stage performer. After telling his adoring L.A. minions that it […]

The “LeBron Rules”

Back in the day, the Pistons employed the “Jordan Rules” as a way to contain a young Mike. It was a strategy that frustrated MJ for years before he was finally able to break through.
Today, Cavs beat writer Brian Windhorst examines the Wizards‘ version of the Bad Boys’ business for a star opponent, […]

Check ‘Em For A Pulse

Michael Wilbon’s column in today’s Washington Post rips the hometown Wiz and their money players (and rightly so) for their performance in the first two games of their series with the Cavs.
He points out that the gap between LeBron - a true superstar - and the Wizards’ All-Stars is vast … and getting […]

‘Till We Collapse

You saw it coming. After getting out-bullied when they tried to be bullies in Game 1, then getting blown out last night and staring an 0-2 series deficit right in the face, the Wizards began falling apart. Leading the charge, naturally, was DeShawn Stevenson. With his team trailing by 19 in […]

Three Up, Three Down
Tough Juice
For only the second time this season, all three members of the second-tier trio in the East were together on the floor in uniform. With Gilbert Arenas coming off the bench to play 24 minutes, and Antawn Jamison returning for his first game since a shoulder injury, the Wiz looked as if Eddie Jordan […]

Whether he was just trying to build suspense or he’s been operating on J.R. Rider Standard Time, Gilbert Arenas‘ comeback in D.C. was plenty dramatic. After going M.I.A. for morning shootaround and pre-game warmups — even the actually beginning of the game — Gil strode out from the locker room halfway through the first […]

LeBron thanked the Bulls for improving his title chances at the trade deadline by stealing another piece of their team yesterday. After the Bulls had fought for three quarters to grab the lead, then extended it to eight points with 10 minutes remaining, LeBron put on the cape and went to work. He […]

* If Andrew Bynum is now totally off the trading block, is there still a possibility to deal Jason Kidd to the Lakers?

How would the Lakers adjust to life without Andrew Bynum? Playing a Sonics team against which he usually drops plenteous buckets, Kobe Bryant decided to go into Tony Montana mode (“Who put this $*** together? Me, that’s who!”) and had his eyes locked onto the rim — on his first 10 touches he shot […]
