Watching the Warriors’ postseason hopes evaporate in Phoenix, there was only one question on everybody’s mind: Why isn’t Baron Davis playing?

Whether it was a result of Doc Rivers‘ genius or because of the influx of fresh faces, the C’s were forced to experiment with different lineups during the first half of the season.

No brawl, just a beating

Last night we went to Mavs/Knicks at the Garden, the first hoop game at MSG since Sunday’s brawl at the high school city championships. There didn’t seem to be any extra security on-hand, but then again, high school kids are mostly priced out of Knicks games anyway … The Mavs picked up the W, 92-77, […]
