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) […]

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 […]

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, […]

* If Andrew Bynum is now totally off the trading block, is there still a possibility to deal Jason Kidd to the Lakers? (ESPN Insider) “On Monday, as I was pondering trade possibilities for Kidd, I came up with this proposal: Lamar Odom, Javaris Crittenton and Sasha Vujacic for Kidd,” writes ESPN’s Chris Broussard. “I […]

When will C-Webb suit up for Nellie?
* Multiple sources agree that Chris Webber will be wearing a Warriors uniform before the end of January.
* Ironically, on the same night that Nellie set wheels in motion to bolster the Warriors’ presence on the boards, Andris Biedrins cleaned the glass single-handedly with 11 points and 26 […]

Hedo’s Heroics

Put the Magic on that list of teams who could give the Celtics a serious problem come postseason. Orlando handed the C’s another loss yesterday when Hedo Turkoglu (27 pts) stuck a three-pointer at the buzzer. With the game tied and the clock running out, Hedo took it up top, being guarded by Paul Pierce […]

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 […]

Redd Alert

Of all the problems that the Milwaukee Bucks have, you would think that Michael Redd is not one of them. Apparently though, there are those in Milwaukee who feel differently. From a post today on Bucks blog Brew Hoop:
What’s wrong with the 07/08 team?
Ironically, Redd has often been the scapegoat this season, frequently […]

2003 Draft Do-Over

Who gets ‘Melo? (Photo. Mannion)
Before getting into this next NBA Draft Do-Over (see ‘05 HERE), let’s go over some ground rules:
1) The idea is that while each team has the same roster it had at the time of the Draft, they also have the benefit of knowing how good each potential draftee will be as […]

2005 Draft Do-Over

If the Bucks could do it over, who would they take #1 in the ‘05 Draft?
We put that question up as the DimeMag.com poll a few days ago, but the results were so surprising I think it’s worth a deeper look.
Think back to 2005: At the time, most people felt Chris Paul was […]

Meat Shower

Zach and Eddy’s nightmare… (Photo. Monte Isom)
Have you seen the new Rambo trailer? Sly Stallone is going ballistic throughout the whole thing, using ridiculously oversized weapons to take out the bad guys — there are times when he’s literally making it rain meat, and we don’t mean the kind you’d get at McDonald’s. At Madison […]

Raise Up

With everyone talking about bouncing to Europe lately, we can’t be mad at Lynn Greer. Passing on a guaranteed $770,000 with the Bucks this year, Greer is headed to Greece for a nice $3.5 million per for the next two years. Lynn never really did get a fair shot in the League. He was The […]
