New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Can’t Get Any Hotter Than This
There 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
With 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. On the other hand, the x-factor which was going to determine how far they’ll make it into the postseason was their ability to remain consistent on defense, something that hasn’t really happened over the last couple of months.

Mark Cuban Uses Twitter to Show How Disgusting Some Lakers Fans Are
Twitter has long been a spawning ground for those who feel the guts to say the disgusting things they truly feel only because they’re protected by thousands of miles and the lawless Internet. Mark Cuban, like most celebrities, is on the receiving end of swearing, foul-language and much worse each and every day, with the recent game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers providing another example to the stupidity and low cunning of some.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Leaving Everything He Has on the Court
For 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.

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Wasted His Best Game Ever
For the third time in his career, Carmelo Anthony scored 50 points. While it is the first time he’s done it with the New York Knicks, leading them to a win over the NBA champions and the Eastern conference leaders, it came on a night when the competition he faced wasn’t exactly at its peak form, not playing with their top two players.

Chicago Bulls – Injuries, Technical Fouls & Eventual Losing
Those thinking Derrick Rose might make his return fell a victim to an April Fool’s joke. He isn’t injured, but he isn’t returning this season it seems, while the injury list goes longer and longer for the Chicago Bulls, as Taj Gibson joined Joakim Noah, Marco Belinelli and Rip Hamliton while Kirk Hinrich, the only trustworthy guard in the lineup, found himself getting ejected from the game.

Los Angeles Lakers – The 2013 NBA Playoffs Conspiracy
No one really believes and trusts the NBA officials, or the league itself, with David Stern sitting on top of the mountain. When you see the kind of calls the Los Angeles Lakers have been getting or getting away with in recent games as they attempt to make the final spot into the NBA playoffs, you can’t help to think that there’s some foul play involved, or at least wouldn’t be surprised to hear about something along those lines going on.

The 2013 College Basketball AP All-Americans
Although the AP votes for All-Americans before the beginning of the NCAA tournament, leaving a few who think that the final results regarding the five first-team players should be different, it seems to be somewhat of an agreement that most of the guys on the 2013 list – Trey Burke, Victor Oladipo, Otto Porter Jr., Kelly Olynyk and Doug McDermott are deserving to be on it.

Utah Jazz – Al Jefferson Gets His Chance to Star
After a couple of games with the backcourt and especially Mo Williams setting the tone for the Utah Jazz, Al Jefferson went to work to bring back the dominance to what has been the team’s stronger unit over the last couple of years, the frontcourt, enjoying one of his more productive stretches of the season, coming at the perfect time.

Boston Celtics – Tanking Their Way to the NBA Playoffs
There’s lottery tanking, and then there’s the playoffs kind, when you know you’re not going to finish in a better position than you’re already in so you rest players as much as possible. The Boston Celtics aren’t going to finish above the 7th spot in the Eastern Conference, so Doc Rivers prefers battling his battles without Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, not leaving himself much of a chance.
