Denver Nuggets, Best Inside Scoring Team in the NBA
As expected, the Denver Nuggets scored quite a lot of points in the paint against the Chicago Bulls in their 119-118 win, 68 for a matter of fact. Scoring from close range is going hand in hand with their 12 game winning streak, which is going slightly unnoticed because of what LeBron James and the Miami Heat are doing.

Houston Rockets – Don’t Sign Andrew Bynum
For one season, Andrew Bynum got the minutes he thought he deserved, and went on to deliver the numbers to make us think of him as one of the best centers in the NBA. Fast forward to 2013, and he still hasn’t played a single game this season, and won’t get to either. The Philadelphia 76ers wasted a lot of money on him, but will part ways in about a month, while the Houston Rockets should simply stay away.

Los Angeles Lakers – Who Knew the Phoenix Suns Played Defense
The easy thing to say after the Phoenix Suns wiped the floor with the Los Angeles Lakers? Kobe Bryant didn’t play,and you can’t win without him forever. The truth?

Chicago Bulls Weren’t Cheated by the Officials & Denver Nuggets
Despite feeling like they were robbed from a win over the Denver Nuggets, the Chicago Bulls have nothing to complain about. Well, almost nothing. Joakim Noah touched the ball as it was going down, in the cylinder off of Marco Belinelli’s shot. The officials were right to disallow that basket, and give the Nuggets the 119-118 win

New York Knicks – Don’t Need Carmelo, Amare & Chandler to Stop Losing
Who knew that the combination of Kenyon Martin, Kurt Thomas, Marcus Camby and Jason Kidd might be enough to stop the losing streak the New York Knicks were on, doing just about enough at their advanced age to put the absence of Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and Amare Stoudemire off the headlines, just for once?

Miami Heat – LeBron James Won’t Let Winning Streak End
Despite being down by 17 in an arena the Miami Heat haven’t won in (regular season) since the forming of the Big Three, LeBron James wasn’t just going to let six weeks of unstopped winning come to an end. So he had one of those exclamation games with lots of points, rebounds and assists that makes everyone says wow, but more importantly was his clutchness, and hitting the game winning shot and extend their win streak to 23.

NFL Rumors – Miami Dolphins & Detroit Lions Interested in Osi Umenyiora
After being on the market for a while, Osi Umenyiora might eventually return to the New York Giants after not getting the kind of dollar love he expected from the interested teams, among them the Atlanta Falcons, Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions.

NFL Rumors – Pittsburgh Steelers & Green Bay Packers Interested in Ahmad Bradshaw
It’s weird to think of the Pittsburgh Steelers as a team that is in great need for a running back, but things have changed, and the focus of their offense has shifted. Same goes for the Green Bay Packers, still looking for someone to complement Aaron Rodgers on the ground, and Ahmad Bradshaw, released from the New York Giants recently, might be the answer.
