Three Up, Three Down

Tough Juice
For only the second time this season, all three members of the second-tier trio in the East were together on the floor in uniform. With Gilbert Arenas coming off the bench to play 24 minutes, and Antawn Jamison returning for his first game since a shoulder injury, the Wiz looked as if Eddie Jordan […]

Turns out, that pump fake was something that Doc Rivers had repeatedly warned his players about. From today’s Detroit […]

This Would Have Been a Disaster

Honestly, what were the Celtics thinking? Amid their mad scramble to fill up their roster, word came out over the weekend from SI’s Ian Thomsen that Larry Brown was 90 percent sure that he was joining to the Celtics as an assistant coach this summer. Not only that, but the whole idea was apparently conceived […]
