  • On LeBron James and NBA Clutch Shooting This Season

    LeBron James gave up on the final shot in the All-Star game, but his clutch shooting numbers haven’t been exactly stellar this season, so maybe he knew what he was doing. Shooting without anyone to restrain you, a-la Kobe Bryant, doesn’t always help your team, while having a Durant-Westbrook combo to share the load seems like the best idea.

  • Top Ten NBA Players in 2011-2012 – Mid Season Edition

    LeBron James didn’t win the MVP last season, which would have been his third regular season award, because of the negative hype against him, and Derrick Rose suddenly bringing back the Chicago Bulls into a championship caliber team. Joined by Durant, Bynum, Howard, Bryant, Paul, Aldridge, Griffin and Kevin Love, these are the best NBA players so far in the 2011-2012 season.

  • When Jeremy Lin Met the Best Team and Player in the NBA

    LeBron James continued his impressive MVP campaign with a rare stat line of 20 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, five steals and two blocks, as the Miami Heat beat the New York Knicks 102-88 to extend their winning streak to 8, while Jeremy Lin got a painful taste of a really good NBA defense, which he and his team aren’t ready to cope with yet.

  • Andrew Bynum Proves Lakers Have More Than Just Kobe Bryant

    Andrew Bynum had another impressive double-double performance, being the best player on a 96-91 win by the Los Angeles Lakers in Dallas against the Slow and old Mavericks, actually enjoying the fact that Shawn Marion completely shut down Kobe Bryant, allowing Pau Gasol and others an opportunity to shine.

  • Dwyane Wade Taking Over for the Miami Heat

    Dwyane Wade wasn’t exactly consistent during the first 5 weeks of the season, but in February, averaging nearly 25 points per game and shooting over 50% from the field, the Miami Heat finally have all of their big three, with LeBron James and Chris Bosh enjoying great seasons, and look like the best team in the NBA.

  • Top Ten NBA Rookies in 2011-2012 – Mid Season Edition

    Kyrie Irving is the only thing stopping us from three consecutive rookie of the years from the same draft class, but despite Ricky Rubio’s impressive numbers, it looks like the number one draft pick, leading all rookie in scoring, will be the one receiving the ROY award at the end of the 2011-2012 season.

  • Lakers Keep Going Where Bryant Points and Words Take Them

    Kobe Bryant talking about the Lakers mishandling the Pau Gasol situation seemed to refocus the team as they stormed the Staples Center, leaving no chance for the Portland Trail Blazers in a 103-92 win, that showed everything the Los Angeles Lakers have going for them (Bryant, Bynum-Gasol) and their two major problems at Point Guard and Small Forward.

  • Tony Parker and the San Antonio Spurs Too Hot Too Soon

    Tony Parker (30 points, 10 assists) has been leading the San Antonio Spurs this season, with their latest 103-100 overtime win over the Los Angeles Clippers (thank you Chris Paul) with Gary Neal as unlikely hero being their 10th in a row, an NBA best this season, which won’t be enough come the playoffs.

  • Bulls Don’t Need Rose to Dominate Celtics

    Derrick Rose was MIA for the fourth consecutive game for the Chicago Bulls, but it didn’t stop them from beating the Boston Celtics 89-80, with Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer both leading them team scoring 23 points, while the overrated and too dependent on Rajon Rondo Boston Celtics just didn’t have enough to keep up with a better team.

  • Jeremy Lin Already Has an Infographic

    Jeremy Lin and the New York Knicks keep winning, with their 100-85 home win over the Sacramento Kings being their seventh consecutive W. Lin took a step back from scoring, focusing on feeding his teammates, notching up a career high 13 assists as the Knicks finished with 7 players in double figures.
