Starting with Sunday’s Rockets/Lakers game (following Hornets/Pistons on the undercard), this is like Sweeps Week if you’re a hoop fan. There are a ton of big-time NBA matchups on tap, and coupled with the Big Dance starting on Thursday, you’d better make sure your cable bill isn’t past due … Last night’s marquee […]

Jazz/Spurs last night might have been one of the best games of the year. As has been their way lately, San Antonio came out of the gate playing sloppily and dug themselves a sizable hole, but rallied to tie it up midway through the second quarter. Every time the Jazz made a run […]

Thursday night’s Pistons/Spurs matchup was big for both teams: Detroit was coming off of a frustrating (despite their attempts to downplay it) loss to the Celtics and an uninspired blowout at the hands of the Mavs, while the Spurs struggled through W’s over the Knicks and Clippers before dropping one to the Warriors this week.

We absolutely wouldn’t mind watching Phoenix and San Antonio go another seven games with a trip to the ‘08 Finals on the line.

Uh-oh. Details are sketchy on the extent of the injury, but it’s being reported that Greg Oden needs surgery on his right knee. The Blazers are playing everything close to the vest, only acknowledging that their franchise savior was found to have possible cartilage damage in an MRI last week — no one […]

You might have missed Tim Duncan hanging a sign above the Utah Jazz bench at halftime yesterday: “Dr. Duncan: Specializing in Low-Post Surgery.” Did you see what TD did to the Jazz? He put up 27 points, 10 boards, 5 assists and 2 blocks in San Antonio’s Game 1 win, which wasn’t close until the […]

We’ve had this running debate in the Dime office for the last few months: basically, Christian is convinced he could beat Eric Snow 1-on-1, while everyone else says Snow wouldn’t even allow him a bucket. Last night hopefully settled that argument. On the game-deciding possession of Cavs/Nets Game 4, Vince Carter was iso’d on the […]
