Posted on 13 Feb 2012 by Warren Shaw.
The Boston Celtics shook off the effects of their two game loosing streak and defeated the Chicago Bulls 95-91 on Sunday. Rajon Rondo took advantage of the Bulls who were without the reigning MVP, Derrick Rose, and triple doubled with 32 points, 15 assists, and 10 rebounds. Boston never trailed in this game but it was anything but a dominating victory. Throughout the game Boston inched close...

Miami blitzes Atlanta
Posted on 12 Feb 2012 by John Morgo.
I thought about waiting until the end of the game between the Hawks and Heat before posting. Since, at the end of the third, Miami's up 88-61, I went against it. The Hawks are resilient, but even this is too much. LeBron has 23, and Dwayne has 21. Hawks announcer Steve Holman thought they were trying to force the baskets so they can pad their stats before they sit down for the rest of the game....

Manu Ginobili Returns as Spurs Win 7th Straight; Duncan Snubbed of All-Star Game
Posted on 12 Feb 2012 by Chelsea Curto.
Finally. It seems that the San Antonio Spurs are finally clicking when playing on the road. Last night they traveled to New Jersey to take on the lowly Nets, with Manu Ginobili suited up to play. After starting the season with an abysmal record on the road, the Spurs are inching closer to being above .500 when away from Texas. Entering into the game the Spurs had won six straight, all without s...

76ers Bounce Back, Beat Cavs 99-84.
Posted on 12 Feb 2012 by Mike Rapine.
For the first time this season, the Philadelphia 76ers were on a losing streak. Luckily for them, the beat-up Cleveland Cavaliers came next on the schedule and the 76ers bounced back from two straight losses with a pretty easy 99-84 victory. The Cavs, missing rookie sensation Kyrie Irving (concussion) and big-man Anderson Varajeo (broken wrist), needed to play a near perfect game to compete w...

No Carmelo, no Amar’e, no problem; Linning streak continues for Knicks
Posted on 10 Feb 2012 by Michael Burke.
Sure, he played great in his first three games in wins over the Nets, Jazz, and Wizards, but those were far from impressive wins, so naturally it was not easy to completely buy into Jeremy Lin. Well, Friday night all but proved that he is the real deal. The undrafted Harvard graduate scored 38 points on 13 of 23 shooting in just his third career start, while dishing out seven assists en route t...

Hawks beat Magic in OT, try out Dampier
Posted on 10 Feb 2012 by John Morgo.
Atlanta defeated the Magic 89-87 in OT from Orlando in the first meeting of the two since their playoff series last season. While it was a terrific game, Orlando had every chance to win it, but 3′s by Jason Richardson and Jameer Nelson both missed. I really don't want to discuss this, as I would bring up the resilience that's characterized this team all season. Instead, there is news brew...

Road Warriors: Rockets Bench comes up big
Posted on 10 Feb 2012 by Mohsin Ghesani.
Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning said the New York Giants season philosophy was “Make it tough, but make it possible.” The Rockets seemed to take that to heart and played with that philosophy in their last two victories. After opening up a comfortable double digit lead both Wednesday in Portland and last night in Phoenix, the Rockets manage to squander it away and let the opposing team right back...

Don’t Tell Gasol He’s Not an All-Star
Posted on 10 Feb 2012 by Arthur Kai.
Amidst the “Greatest Laker Debate”, the Los Angeles Lakers get their second road win on their six-game roadie last night in overtime against their arch nemesis, the Boston Celtics 88-87. With the relevance of this rivalry being questioned for the first time in four years, the all-star snubs became the hot bed topic of the evening. And one individual, in particular, took it upon him...

Late Mistakes Undo Thunder
Posted on 10 Feb 2012 by Steven Jones.
After back-to-back narrow escapes to start the week, the Oklahoma City Thunder would have welcomed a reprieve against the Sacramento Kings. Instead, the Kings bullied their guests into their sixth loss. Wearing Raider-esque black-and-silver uniforms, the Kings played the villain role to the hilt, hacking the more athletic OKCers on every foray to the hoop and punishing the Thunder on the offe...

For Old time’s Sake…Lakers scrape by the Celtics 88-87
Posted on 10 Feb 2012 by Warren Shaw.
If “those who are late do not get fruitcup” then the baksetball equivalent would be “those who do not rebound do not get wins”. The Los Angeles Lakers annihilated the Boston Celtics on the boards (55-45) in a classic overtime game and came away with an 88-87 victory. Kobe Bryant led all scorers with 27 points but it was the inside play of the Lakers bigs, Pau Gasol and ...
