Before Game 6 of the Cavs/Wizards series got out of hand, there was a play in the second half where Delonte West was leading a 3-on-2 break with Wally Szczerbiak and LeBron filling the lanes. Seeing the potential for what could happen, both Washington defenders focused their attention on LeBron, surrendering a wide […]

‘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 […]
Turning the Pej

For 47 minutes of Hornets/Magic, Peja Stojakovic was having such an off night that the Orlando announcers were questioning Byron Scott for even having him on the court in crunch time. But that didn’t stop Peja from stepping up with about a minute to go and hitting the go-ahead three-pointer on a […]

No one really thought the Nets were gonna be the ones to snap the Rockets’ win streak, but the potential was at least there for a competitive game, what with Jersey’s size advantage up front and the dual threat of Vince and Richard Jefferson. Didn’t happen. T-Mac put up an easy […]

In the 1980s and up through the late-’90s, Georgetown vs. St. John’s was a truly big-time rivalry. The two Big East powers, who play tonight at Madison Square Garden, have seven Final Four appearances between them, with the Hoyas winning a national ‘chip in ‘84 and the Red Storm holding status as the […]
Match This
Good for Charlie Bell. We’ve been arguing his case in Smack for a while now, and it looks like he’s finally about to get paid and be able to stay in the States. The Heat stepped up with a 5-year, $18 million offer sheet, which is bigger than the offer Charlie was getting from Greece […]
Captain Canada?
Amare’s not bad on the sticks.
Yesterday saw some of the Dime crew out in San Diego, hanging with Amare Stoudemire while he wraps up some business for Sony’s NBA 08 video game. Gracing the cover for the second time (his first was in ‘06 — Kobe got the cover last year), today STAT will suit […]
NBA Hit List, 3.20.07
Remember this guy? The Suns do.
It was a no-brainer that last week’s winner of the Mavs/Suns game would take over the No. 1 spot. But Phoenix messed us up by winning the game, then going out and getting handled in their next two, while Dallas bounced back from the loss with a pair of wins. […]
