Playoff hopes slipping away
Posted on 13 Mar 2012 by Colin Chisholm.
There's ugly, and then there's ugly– and watching the Portland Trailblazers play basketball as of late is ugly of the italicized variety. Tonight's game against the Indiana Pacers holds true to that as the Blazers fall 92-75. Portland shot an abysmal 31% from the field going 20-64 in the game. They shot just 2-15 in the first quarter which is the fewest field goals Portland has made sinc...

Going too far…Magic pulling out all stops to keep Howard
Posted on 13 Mar 2012 by Warren Shaw.
The circus is definitely in town in Orlando. According to an ESPN report: One source close to the situation told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher that the Magic have promised Howard that they will add a quality player before Thursday's deadline and that Howard can decide the fate of both GM Otis Smith and coach Stan Van Gundy at the end of the season if he signs an extension. Say what? Pull your ...

Celtics Blow Lead, Hold on to Beat Clippers
Posted on 13 Mar 2012 by Taylor Smith.
Things looked good for a while, but in the end, the Clippers' fate was all too familiar. A Bobby Simmons three-pointer with just over four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter gave the Clippers a four-point lead, after the team rallied from a 10-point deficit just minutes prior. Unfortunately, that's when Paul Pierce showed up, and that's when the Clippers' offense once again ceased to exist...

Cavaliers looking to tie Milwaukee, New York for 8th Spot in the East
Posted on 13 Mar 2012 by Eric Kastner.
Mr. 4th Quarter, Kyrie Irving Just two weeks ago, the Cavaliers were in the one of there worst stretches of the season. From the final game before the All-Star break (New Orleans), to the March 5th game at home against Utah, the Cavs had lost six in a row and went over 15 days without a win. Everyone in Cleveland was referring to the “Wait Till Next Year” talk, and players like Jam...

Escape from L.A. Boston handles the Clippers 94-85
Posted on 13 Mar 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Playing back to back in the Staples Center against the Lakers and Clippers once gave a visiting team a better than 50-50 chance of taking one of those two games. Now that the Clippers have added Chris Paul and turned into “Lob City” those chances have dwindled dramatically. The Celtics entered their contest against the Clippers harboring ill feelings about the previous day's loss...

The Hornets and Bobcats try their best to lose to each other
Posted on 13 Mar 2012 by Jarred LeBlanc.
If you are a fan of good basketball and the NBA, I hoped you missed Monday night’s game between the New Orleans Hornets and the Charlotte Bobcats. The Hornets and the Bobcats, which are arguably the two worst teams in the NBA, put together offensive performances that would rival that of LSU’s offense in the 2012 BCS National Championship game. The first three minutes of the game included ni...

Just taking a glance at the stat sheet tells you all you need to know about tonight’s game. First of all, and keep this in mind, the Knicks shot the ball better than the Bulls tonight, as far as per...

Posted on 12 Mar 2012 by Arthur Kai.
The Los Angeles Lakers managed to salvage what started off as a disastrous week, with a much needed win against their long-time bitter rival, the Boston Celtics, 97-94. Kobe Bryant led the way with 26 points and 7 assists.

End Game?…Lakers squeeze by the Celtics 97-94
Posted on 11 Mar 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Few teams harbor hatred for each other as much as the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers do. That hatred makes for great basketball even if you are not a fan of either team. Another epic battle was added to their rivalry's rich history of classics in Sunday's 97-94 victory by the Lakers. Kobe Bryant led all scorers with 26 points including 10 in the final quarter but the masked mamba was no...
