Starting with Sunday’s Rockets/Lakers game (following Hornets/Pistons on the undercard), this is like Sweeps Week if you’re a hoop fan. There are a ton of big-time NBA matchups on tap, and coupled with the Big Dance starting on Thursday, you’d better make sure your cable bill isn’t past due … Last night’s marquee […]

Match Game

By Austin Burton

CP on Dime #23
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; […]
