    NBA Rumors – Golden State Warriors, Chicago Bulls Season Maintains Opposite Direction

    The Chicago Bulls didn’t play on Sunday, but their fate on a couple of levels was determined by results. From a present day angle, they lost all hope of making the NBA playoffs due to the Indiana Pacers winning their game. On a historic, franchise level kind of angle, they no longer hold sole possession of the NBA record for most wins in a regular season, now sharing it with the Golden State Warriors.

    Jeremy Lin Bad Game Just Part of an Awful Charlotte Hornets Performance

    Trying to find a bottom line to the Charlotte Hornets losing 113-98 to the Washington Wizards isn’t that difficult. The problem is non of the ideas coming up have any positive spin to them. Kemba Walker was bad, Nicolas Batum was worse, the defense under the basket didn’t exist and Jeremy Lin? An early Sunday session he’d like to forget.

    Jeremy Lin Flagrant Fouls Video Bigger Than Him & Golden State Warriors Cheat Their Way to the Record

    As the Charlotte Hornets struggle against a Washington Wizards team with nothing to play for; while the Golden State Warriors prepare to tie a 20-year old NBA record, more thoughts rush through my head about the meaning of the Jeremy Lin Flagrant foul video becoming such a hit, and why Stephen Curry and Draymond Green can get away with a lot more than anyone else.

    Jeremy Lin Doesn’t Stand Out, Kemba Walker Good Enough, Charlotte Hornets March On

    As the Charlotte Hornets easily go through the Brooklyn Nets with a 113-99 win that saw the usual contribution from Kemba Walker and some surprising one from Troy Daniels, Jeremy Lin had one of those games that didn’t really stand out as either good or bad, while his fans made a much bigger impact by going after unjust officiating against him, and in a way against anyone who isn’t considered a star by the officials and the NBA.

    Jeremy Lin Making Statements, Kemba Walker Busy Campaigning, Charlotte Hornets Chasing Advantage

    The Charlotte Hornets seem to be pushing Kemba Walker to some sort of NBA award and maybe an All-NBA team mention with something of an awkward looking campaign, while Jeremy Lin is settling old scores by hitting three pointers when the game is basically over.

    NBA Rumors – Dallas Mavericks Carried by J.J. Barea While Dirk Nowitzki Fades Away

    Unless the Dallas Mavericks crash and burn in their final four games, they should be able to find themselves, just barely, making the NBA playoffs as J.J. Barea is playing like one of the best point guards in the NBA for the last few games, making up for Dirk Nowitzki who seems to have run out of fuel at the most important phase of the season.
