Carlos Boozer returned to the land of the living on Friday, playing his best game in about six weeks and ruining any plans the Lakers had of pulling a “Fo, fo, fo and fo” on the ‘08 postseason. Booz slapped up 27 points and 20 boards as the Jazz handed L.A. […]

The Unusual Suspects: The Best Players in the Playoffs
Jason Maxiell’s gone toe-to-toe with Dwight
In the Lakers/Nuggets series it was J.R. Smith. In the Philly/Detroit series it was Reggie Evans. In the Jazz/Rockets series it was Mehmet Okur. No matter the series, there has been at least one guy that has elevated his level of play far beyond expectations to give his team a […]

Not Even Basketball

Have you ever spent all night watching a movie or TV-show marathon that was amazing all the way through, until you got to the end and it was a total letdown? That’s what it was like watching the NBA last night. Pistons/Suns and Lakers/Warriors were both fantastic overtime games, only the nightcap […]

Freshman Day

Even with two high-profile games on the schedule (and another involving the Bulls), the NBA took a backseat yesterday to college ball, as everyone was focused on the NCAA Tournament. Thursday’s main event had future #1 pick Michael Beasley and his Kansas State squad going up against future Lottery pick O.J. […]

A Lakers/Celtics NBA Finals? It could very easily happen. And in today’s Los Angeles Times, columnist Bill Dwyre examines what it would mean for the teams, the NBA and basketball in general. The article breaks down the major matchups:
Monday night, little more than a scrimmage for the Celtics in their 104-76 victory against a […]

Last-Second Antics
Hedo Turkoglu’s fall-away three over Paul Pierce to knock off the Celtics was the latest chapter in the book of ridiculous buzzer-beating walk-offs. Hedo got us thinking … What are some of the best game-winners of recent memory? We’re not going to open the archives for Lew Alcindor’s hook in double OT to give the […]

Once Upon a Time…

Three years ago, Steve Francis was giving the Kobe/Shaq Lakers triple-doubles in the playoffs and was probably one of the 15 or 20 best players in the entire League. Now he’s taking Chris Webber-ish “please just go away” buyouts and his free agency is less of a story than Darko being on […]

Part of following free agency is being bombarded with lists of which teams are after which players. So here’s what we were hearing as of this morning: Gerald Wallace has the Mavs, Warriors, Grizzlies, Heat, Bucks, Magic, Blazers and Bobcats after him; Mikki Moore’s agent says about 15-20 teams have been in contact, including the […]

Top 10 Clutch Players
Who’s more clutch than Gilbert?
It’s time for the Finals, where superstars cement their reps as crunch-time performers and role players can build a legacy on being known as clutch. Just look at the ’90s-era Chicago Bulls. Michael Jordan’s six rings established him as the game’s most legendary clutch player — arguably the most clutch athlete […]

All That Jazz
Watching Derek Fisher emerge as maybe the MVP of Game 2, and in only about 10 minutes of burn no less, it occurred to us that the Lakers (among a bunch of other teams) could really have used D-Fish this year. He can run the point, make clutch defensive plays, knock down timely threes, and […]
