If you were pulling for the Sixers to at least make last night’s Game Six interesting, you didn’t want to get an e-mail like the one Jed sent out amongst the Dime crew during the first quarter, the one that read: “I’m not sure if Philly is going to score in this […]

Something to Play For
Chris Paul (photo. Mannion)
Breaking from tradition, the final day of the NBA regular season wasn’t totally useless, as there was still some playoff positioning left to be done in the West. And one of the few games that meant something for both teams involved was Mavericks/Hornets. If Dirk Nowitzki and Co. won, they’d secure the […]

Thanks to a little blessing from the schedule gods, the Mavericks’ first game without Dirk Nowitzki in the lineup had them facing the Clippers. At home. Sitting somewhere between an actual threat and the stationary traffic cones that are the Miami Heat, the Clips gave the Mavs a chance to get […]

With my league’s playoffs starting next week, my decision to hold out for the return of Elton Brand certainly doesn’t look good. He clearly won’t play next week and although he continues to practice and say that he wants to play this season, he is most likely not going to play one […]

Drab Five

This year’s March Madness will mark the 15th anniversary of the last time the famous/infamous “Fab Five” played together. It was in the ‘93 national championship game that North Carolina beat a Michigan team led by sophomore stars Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson, one of […]

Thanks for That

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 […]

The Wonder Years
Was it really 14 years ago that this kid won the NBA’s Rookie of the Year? It hasn’t gone anywhere near that well in Chris Webber’s recent return to the Warriors. C-Webb is averaging about 14 minutes a night through seven games, notching 3.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per. Anyone who’s seen the Warriors play […]

Knowing that Brandon Roy (ankle) is still on the shelf, Blazers/Lakers on Tuesday’s schedule meant Martell Webster would be the one charged with guarding Kobe. Going in, we were thinking it could get bloody for Martell, but the kid actually held his own for a while. In the first quarter […]

From the Crypt
The Pistons clearly could have signed Chris Webber before he rejoined forces with Nellie. When they passed on C-Webb, it was conceivable that they were content with their frontline of ‘Sheed, Maxiell, McDyess and Brezec. But we now know the truth. After cutting Flip Murray on Friday, it seems as though Joe Dumars is going […]

Darko Has Issues
Today’s hoop blog in the Detroit Free Press from James Jahnke is kind of amazing. First it paints this sad picture of a mentally broken Darko Milicic:
The scenery changes, but the moping doesn’t seem to.
Memphis center Darko Milicic is again feeling down on himself, just like he did in Orlando and Detroit. He was averaging […]

Take the Bad with the Good

Rockets vs. Cavs was the good defense/bad offense affair you’d expect from those two teams until Houston pulled away in the fourth quarter behind a bunch of Cleveland turnovers and Houston fast-break buckets. T-Mac (17 pts, 8 asts) was playing point guard better than Rafer or any of the team’s other official PG’s […]

Hoop Links, 2/8
* Chris Webber’s return to the Warriors wasn’t much of a celebration. Last night’s 114-108 loss to the Bulls served as Chris Duhon’s coming-out party. Webber’s scoring output matched his number, four. Duhon posted 34. “I thought it would be a great opportunity for the team to go out there and really show some […]

Has it really been FIFTEEN years since Chris Webber put on that Warriors cap on draft night (after he was traded for Penny Hardaway)? Our younger readers will one day learn that once you get into your 20s it seems every other day something makes you feel old, and of all the stuff […]

C-Webb To Start … and Play 30 Mins a Night??
Really? Apparently so. Nellie is quoted in today’s San Francisco Chronicle as saying that he’s been so impressed by Webber in practice that he’s planning on “starting him every game.”
The loser in this move? Al Harrington. Twice. Apparently he had to give up tickets on the 50-yard line for Sunday’s Super Bowl because Nelson called […]
