Denver Nuggets – Corey Brewer Pulls Off a Magical Finish
Despite trailing with only 14 seconds left on the clock; despite Ty Lawson not playing and in general being outplayed for almost the entire game, the Denver Nuggets pulled off another win and kept their secretive winning streak alive (now at 14 games), mostly thanks to a clutch performance from Corey Brewer, rescuing his team with some impressive off-the-bench scoring

Miami Heat – LeBron James Enjoying the Arrogant Role
A couple of years ago he was a villain. Last season he was the guy winning his way back into recognition, shedding off all criticisms and hatred towards him. This season? He seems to be having fun, and his dunk over Jason Terry as the Miami Heat took another step towards Eastern domination during a win over the Boston Celtics showed an arrogant side, which kind of suits his ongoing transformation.

Louisville, Syracuse, Michigan, VCU & Arizona Make it Look Easy; Marquette & Gonzaga Not so Much
In a first night of NCAA tournament basketball, we had one real clear upset, but quite a few games that went down to the wire that probably shouldn’t have, including Gonzaga being pushed by Southern and Marquette barely getting by Davidson, thanks to a last-second layup by Vander Blue. On the other side of the equation, teams like Louisville, Syracuse, Michigan, VCU and Arizona, big favorites to begin with, didn’t really have any trouble with their opponents.

NCAA Tournament Upsets in Second Round
Four upsets, meaning lower seeds being higher ranked teams, occurred on the opening day of the real NCAA tournament, as Harvard pulled off the biggest one with a win over New Mexico, followed by California upsetting UNLV, Wichita State destroying rather easily the Pittsburgh Panthers while Oregon beating Oklahoma State was a shocker considering the seeding, but most people weren’t that surprised.

Nate Robinson Dunk the Only Good Thing About the Chicago Bulls
After a season of playing sorta anti-basketball offensively, it looks like the Chicago Bulls have run out of hustle and effort to keep their heads above water, resulting in another home loss to a Western Conference team, while the only good think to take from the game was a sensational dunk from Nate Robinson, who impresses every time he decides to show that incredible leap and dunking ability he has.

March Madness Coffee Break Planner
As we speak, the NCAA tournament is on its way, with 8 games already completed. By the time you read this, the lineup of Thursday games will probably be over, with at least one number 1 seed, Gonzaga, showing everyone how tough it’s going to be, barely beating Southern. More important than the actual score, is planning how to work watching the games on Friday into your schedule.

Miami Heat – A Different Look at Their Winning Streak
Now that the Miami Heat have extended their winning streak to 24 games, it might be a little bit more interesting to check out the differences in the dominance between wins. Yes, there are games in which LeBron James and Dwyane Wade dominate from the first moment, going on to win comfortably, but their last couple of wins and quite a few in general during the streak have been about impressive comebacks.

2013 NCAA Tournament – Day 1 Predictions
The real first day of the NCAA tournament kicks off with the second round and two number one seeds, Gonzaga and Louisville, beginning their way, hopefully to the Final Four in Atlanta, with games against Southern and North Carolina A&T respectively, hoping not to make 2013 the year in which a 16th seed finally pulled off the biggest upset of them all.

Conference Realignment – The New Big East
College Football tore the old Big East apart, with the conference to be wiped away from the slate, renamed into something else, possibly the America 12. In basketball, we’ll have a Big East, a new Big East; a combination of the Catholic 7 (Georgetown, Providence, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Villanova, Marquette and DePaul), and three new schools joining the conference; Butler, Xavier and Creighton, making it quite the mid-major powerhouse.

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan & Tiago Splitter are the Best Big Man Duo in the NBA
Some arguments can’t be decided, but the way the San Antonio Spurs are looking recently thanks to Tim Duncan raising the level of his game while Tony Parker recovers with his injury puts them on top of the Western Conference justly, while the combination between Duncan and Tiago Splitter might be the best we’re seeing this season from two big men in the NBA.
