Was that really Mamba? (photo. Chris Sembrot)
Who was that guy wearing #24 for the Lakers last night, and what did he do with Kobe Bryant? Going from one extreme to the next, Bizarro Mamba posted a super-efficient 26 points on just 10 field-goal attempts (he was 13-for-17 at the stripe) to give L.A. the series […]

Tough Road for the Celtics
Hanging his head…
Forget about the 66 wins and the postseason blowouts at the Garden; we’re no longer taking the Celtics seriously as championship contenders until they win at least one playoff road game. Losing three in Atlanta to a sub-.500 squad was bad enough, then last night KG and crew got torn apart in Cleveland […]

Playing Up

Most of the time, DeShawn Stevenson is just “a guy” on an NBA court: decent defender, decent shooter, gets buckets sometimes. If he didn’t have all the tats and the Che Guevara beard, he’d be Devin Brown with more hops. But the line DeShawn up against either one of the two best […]

Thanks for That
LeBron (Photo. Mannion)
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 […]

Far From Flawless
LeBron on #31
Some might disagree, but we think the Cavs did get better with its haul from the 11-player deadline deal. That said, they didn’t cover up all of their flaws, at least one of which came to light in Wednesday’s loss to the Celtics. While LeBron (26 pts, 8 rebs) struggled with his shot […]

The Key to the Cleveland Deal

Most of the Cleveland-area reaction to yesterday’s last-second, 11-player deal falls somewhere between “We’ll see” and “And at least they did something.” Which is understandable. From a pure talent standpoint, you can’t really argue that Cleveland’s infusion of new players is only slightly better than what they had prior to Thursday. […]

Super Stink
The future’s not so bright.
Have you ever been cleaning out your fridge and come across something damn near unidentifiable? Remember that look on your face when you got a whiff of The Blob Formerly Known as Mac And Cheese? That was me when I heard about the Sonics’ trade-deadline deal yesterday, the one sending Wally […]

Breaking News: 11-Player Deal Goes Down

Not quite sure this makes LeBron’s team better but at least they did something.

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 […]
