If you were pulling for the Sixers to at least make last night’s Game Six interesting, you didn’t want to get an e-mail like the one Jed sent out amongst the Dime crew during the first quarter, the one that read: “I’m not sure if Philly is going to score in this […]

The Shining
A New Coach for the Bucks?
Mo Williams, your days of breaking off set plays and shooting til your arm falls off could be numbered.
NBA Hit List Power Ranking

It seemed like every top-level team played each other last week and in the early parts of this week, making it real tough to sort through everything and come up with a sensible power ranking. Maybe we got it right, maybe we got it wrong. You tell us…
1. Boston Celtics (55-15) […]
Twenty Sack

After the Rockets notched consecutive win #19, we asked in the DimeMag.com poll when T-Mac’s crew would finally lose. Understandably, not many of you thought last night’s game in Atlanta would be the streak-breaker. But there the Rockets were, in a one-possession game with five minutes left before Mac (28 pts, 9 […]
Kobe Day-Lewis

Knowing that Brandon Roy (ankle) is still on the shelf, Blazers/Lakers on Tuesday’s schedule meant Martell Webster would be the one charged with guarding Kobe. Going in, we were thinking it could get bloody for Martell, but the kid actually held his own for a while. In the first quarter […]
Best Backcourt in the League?

During last night’s Lakers/Hawks game (this was BEFORE the Lakers pulled off their belt and got to whoopin’ that ass) the L.A. announcers were talking about where Atlanta’s new backcourt of Mike Bibby and Joe Johnson ranks as far as the League’s best guard tandems. Although Bibby didn’t have a good debut with […]
The Long Road Back

With each passing game, dealing Shaq looks like a genius move for the Heat. Dwyane Wade and Shawn Marion look like they’ve been playing together for months rather than days, and although Miami is 0-2 since Matrix first suited up, they’re playing with more energy; like they actually care about winning or losing. […]
Milwaukee Mess

Bucks coach Larry Krystowiak admitted to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that his team is basically coming apart:
“It’s happening and we need to put an end to it and we need to figure out which guys want to be a part of it, which guys are in, and we’re going to go down swinging […]
Night Owls

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, […]
(Almost) Daily Fantasy
Mike’s a must-bench this week (Photo. Hill)
Monday. Line up day. Leave your fantasy questions in the comments box and I’ll try and answer as many as possible.
Chris Webber - Kind of shocking that C-Webb is going to end up on G-State. Such a bad fit. This may actually mean that the Warriors will give more […]
Hoop Links, 1/25
* Uh oh, the Clipper chaos is not calming down. Mike Dunleavy, Sr. says that Clippers President Andy Roeser told him to tell the media that he and owner Donald Sterling spoke and settled their differences, even though they didn’t. Rehashing Roeser’s orders, Dunleavy said, “‘You can say you talked to him because he got […]
The Sequel
Photo. Mannion
Just like they did a couple nights ago against the Lakers, the Spurs shook off a slow start yesterday, made a big second-half run, and won a game that they looked absolutely poised to lose. Against the depleted and depressing Heat, the Spurs were trailing well into the fourth quarter before they made their […]
They Shootin’! They Shootin’!

The Suns are rolling right now. Since last week’s loss to the Clips, when they got fricasseed by Sam Cassell, Phoenix has run off four straight W’s: they pieced the Lakers on national TV, smacked the Wolves and Nets with little trouble, and last night mounted a fourth-quarter comeback to take […]
2000 Draft Do-Over

The 2000 NBA Draft was not a good one. Of the entire field, only a handful of players would go on to become All-Stars, and only one of them is in a position to even be considered a franchise player: second-round pick Michael Redd, and he’s not necessarily a lock to […]
Hoop Links, 1/15
* The Wizards mounted a ferocious 25-6 rally last night in Boston, storming back from a 77-63 lead with 6:22 to play. Caron Butler led the charge with 11 points during that 6-plus minute span, and seven within the final 40 seconds to send the Celtics on their first two-game slump of the year.
* Peter […]
