  • Thunder & Durant Not Troubled by Fatigue

    Kevin Durant got to rest in the fourth quarter, finishing the 3 games in 3 nights with 3 wins for the Oklahoma City Thunder, who made easy work of the San Antonio Spurs with a 37-21 third quarter. James Harden added 20 off the bench in another fantastic game for the best sixth man in the NBA.

  • Knicks Streak Doesn’t Make Problems Disappear

    Amare Stoudemire has been struggling, like the New York Knicks, to find consistency. On Saturday night, he led the Knicks to their first win streak of the season, beating the sad looking Detroit Pistons 103-80 as Carmelo Anthony finally got just a bit of rest he desperately needed.

  • Kobe Bryant Hogs His Way to Another Lakers Win

    Kobe Bryant isn’t slowing down despite his injured right hand, scoring 39 points to lead the just above average Los Angeles Lakers in their 97-90 win over the Golden State Warriros, his third straight 30 point game in four nights, while the Lakers go 2-1 in these games.

  • Chris Bosh Doesn’t Always Need Other Big Two Around

    Chris Bosh is the lesser of the big three. That’s just life. But if a six time All-Star is your third best player, then I guess the Miami Heat can handle a night without both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. They certainly looked capable of handling the load, beating the Atlanta Hawks in a triple overtime game 116-109.

  • LeBron James Keeps Leading Heat in Everything

    LeBron finished with 33 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists, leading the Miami Heat (without Dwyane Wade) to a 118-83 win over the Indiana Pacers.

  • Lakers Will Benefit From Limiting Bryant

    Kobe Bryant doesn’t like players from his own team stealing his thunder, so he continued to shoot an incredible number of shots, this time actually hitting about half of them, finishing with 37 points to lead the Los Angeles Lakers (4-3) to a 108-99 win over the Houston Rockets (2-3).

  • Mark Cuban Goes Off on NBA Scheduling

    Mark Cuban expected to get an away game against the Washington Wizards on the Dallas Mavericks schedule. Well, the NBA schedule didn’t give the Mavs a D.C. visit, so Cuban took care of the traditional visit of the NBA champions to the White House and meet the president on his own.

  • Tracy McGrady and Zone Defense End Perfection for Heat

    LeBron James had his usual impressive stat line (28 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists) but Dwyane Wade struggled with his shooting, the Heat struggled with their offense and Tracy McGrady came up big in the fourth quarter to lead the Altanta Hawks (4-1) in a 100-92 win, the Miami Heat’s first loss of the season.

  • Mavs Finally Produce Four Quarters of Good Basketball

    Dirk Nowitzki led the way, as usual, with 26 points, but this time, the rest of his Dallas Mavericks teammates followed with energy and hustle, becoming the first team to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder this season (100-87), as Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook just didn’t get enough help from the rest.

  • Paul and the Clippers More Than Just Lob City

    Chris Paul has started to pay dividends for the trade that brought him over to the Los Angeles Clippers, carrying the Clips to a hard earned 93-88 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, coming up with all the big plays in the final minutes to secure the win.
