Dwight Howard Has Missed More Free Throws This Season Than Steve Nash Has In His Entire 17 Year Career
Posted on 4 Apr, 2013, by Greg in BasketballIt’s hard to say if this stats is a praise to the free throw shooting accuracy of Steve Nash, or a jab at the ability of Dwight Howard to convert his trips to the line, as the Los Angeles Lakers center has already missed more shots from the line this season than Nash has during his entire NBA career, spanning nearly 17 seasons.

Los Angeles Clippers – DeAndre Jordan Looks Like a Superstar for Once

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Makes Chandler Parsons & James Harden Look Great
Posted on 4 Apr, 2013, by Greg in BasketballMaybe Kevin McHale has been paying attention, because the return of James Harden to the Houston Rockets backcourt didn’t hurt the dominance of Jeremy Lin, which made both the returning star and Chandler Parsons look quite fresh despite missing a few games and with the need to shake off a little rust.

Denver Nuggets – Danilo Gallinari Changing the Scenario of the NBA Playoffs
Posted on 4 Apr, 2013, by Greg in BasketballAs always, points in the paint were the key to another Denver Nuggets victory, while Danilo Gallinari made the most of his few shots to lead his team, especially in the fourth quarter.

Boston Celtics – Jeff Green Clinches Playoff Spot for Hobbled Group of Guys
Posted on 4 Apr, 2013, by Greg in BasketballIt took a bit longer than usual, but this is no ordinary season for the Boston Celtics, who look like they’re playing on their last fumes of gas entering the final couple of weeks of the NBA season.

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Can’t Get Any Hotter Than This
Posted on 4 Apr, 2013, by Greg in BasketballThere will be no MVP awards for Carmelo Anthony, just some accolades like “best pure scorer in the NBA”, which actually means you don’t do a lot too well except for putting the ball in the basket, but at least he’s justifying the amount of shots he is been taking this season with these last couple of extraordinary games, making it 10 wins in a row for the New York Knicks.

Los Angeles Clippers – Won’t Succeed Because of a Bad Defense
Posted on 3 Apr, 2013, by Greg in BasketballWith players like Chris Paul and Blake Griffin in the lineup, it was quite clear the Los Angeles Clippers weren’t going to fail this season because of their offense.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Leaving Everything He Has on the Court
Posted on 3 Apr, 2013, by Greg in BasketballFor the Los Angeles Lakers to make the NBA playoffs, it’s going to take more than close calls and help from the refs. It’s going to take, apparently, Kobe Bryant not resting for more than a minute or two each game, while sticking to the game-plan of actually giving up shots to provide for others, while hoping that Dwight Howard continues to make free throws as his defense manages to cover the holes the rest of his teammates leave him to handle.
