Two-thirds of Thursday’s NBA schedule saw superstars trying to carry their teams: one got the job done and one didn’t. In Portland, the game was close until the last couple of minutes of the third quarter, when the Rockets went on an 11-0 run sparked by T-Mac and Bobby Jackson. Having a Sacramento […]

Down to the Wire

If we know our readers, last night’s late League action got no burn on your TV. We’re going to guess that most of you were watching (and then mourning) the series finale of The Wire. Luckily the game of the day was the afternoon showdown between the Suns and the Spurs. Are these […]

Thanks for That

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. […]

Deal With It

The biggest trade deadline deal from yesterday saw the Cavs finally do something to prove the lights are still on up in the front office. And fitting that it would take Cleveland — who slow-walked on taking care of business with Anderson Varejao and Sasha Pavlovic this summer — up until […]

Take a Day Off
Vacation’s over for T-Mac and the sizzling Rockets.
Monday was the NBA’s day off, as everyone was traveling and/or recouping from All-Star Weekend in New Orleans. Of course, if you were checking DimeMag.com throughout the weekend, you know we had everything covered … A few airport sightings on our respective flights back to New York. Pat […]

LeBron and Damon
Bron on Dime 31
During the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Nuggets, LeBron James sat on the edge of Cleveland’s bench while Damon Jones sermonized the rest of the Cavs about “banding together” as a team. However, it seemed as if Jones, who stared directly at LeBron, was singling out King James.
Though Jones cleared […]

If the Warriors are going to be this entertaining all the time, we won’t mind staying up past 1 a.m. on the East Coast and watching their games. Last night GS was down by as much as 23 to the Wizards, who were desperate for a win after dropping seven straight, […]

Remember the Titans

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 […]

Popular sentiment following the NBA’s latest batch of Christmas Day games is that the Lakers are now a legit contender. Are they really? For now, we’d have to say so. The Lakers have the best player on the planet in Kobe. They have arguably the best coach in the game in […]

End of the Road?
This could very likely be the last day of the ‘06-07 season. Kinda snuck up on us, actually. It seems like not too long ago we were all exhausted in Vegas during All-Star Weekend; back when a Cavs-Spurs championship series wasn’t exactly the odds-on favorite … So do the Cavs have a chance tonight?
