Rookie Luck Not so Much for Bobcats
Posted on 12 Jan 2012 by Britney Roper.
After a dismantling 30 point loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the Bobcats could use a little superman of their own. With Panther fans still buzzing about their on rookie’s incredible season, Bobcat fans wish they could say the same in hopeful prospect Kemba Walker. Since Walker was drafted in the first round to the Bobcats, he has averaged a little over 20 minutes per game; less than 10 points per ...

Wiz Update–Out of Control
Posted on 12 Jan 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
After notching their first win Tuesday night against Toronto the Wizards reverted back to their losing ways, falling to the Derrick Rose-less Chicago Bulls 78-64 Wednesday night at the Verizon Center. John Lucas III filled in for Rose, who sat out due to a turf toe injury, admirably. Lucas dropped 25 points while nearly going for a triple-double, adding eight boards and assists. It's sad th...

Posted on 12 Jan 2012 by Logan Williams.
Derrick Rose sat out of the game versus the Washington Wizards due to a toe injury but that didn't keep the Bulls from having strong production from the point guard position. John Lucas got the nod for the injured Rose and exceeded expectations with 25 points with 8 rebounds and 8 assists. This was his first game with extensive playing time this year and he took advantage of it and opened the d...

Knicks win fourth straight
Posted on 12 Jan 2012 by Michael Burke.
After a rough start to the season, the Knicks are starting to figure it out. A win Wednesday night over the Sixers is the fourth straight for New York, and their biggest win on the year. Yes, it was the third and final game of a back to back to back for the Sixers, and yes, the Knicks were idle yesterday. Nonetheless, this victory was an impressive one for the Knicks over a Sixers team that rod...

Thunder Keep Rolling
Posted on 12 Jan 2012 by Eddie McDonald.
The Oklahoma City Thunder adapt well to losing. After losing back-to-back games last Monday and Tuesday (January 2nd and 3rd), they have reeled off five straight victories, thanks in large part to the Durantula Kevin Durant. The reigning NBA Scoring Champion in back-to-back seasons continues to make great strides in this league. During the Thunder's five game wining streak the lengthy shooter f...

The Spurs Remain Perfect at Home
Posted on 11 Jan 2012 by Chelsea Curto.
Okay, I have to be honest. I know the Spurs are good; they have veterans and have lots of depth that come off their bench. However, I did not expect them to be playing this well so far into the season. Wednesday night they matched up against the stumbling Houston Rockets, who entered the game 3-6 and 1-6 on the road. The Spurs entered the game sitting on a perfect 6-0 record at home and a 6-4 r...

Durant Plays the Strings, and Every Other Instrument
Posted on 11 Jan 2012 by Steven Jones.
The numbers tell us that Kevin Durant is one of the most potent offensive weapons in NBA history. They don't lie, but neither do they sum up all that makes the man Twitter knows as @KDTrey5 such a unique athlete. Durant's smoothly-flowing style would earn him multiple comparisons to jazz soloists, if anyone under the age of 45 still listened to jazz. In honor of this obsolete analogy, here are ...

Broadway Trumps Broad Street (again)
Posted on 11 Jan 2012 by Mike Rapine.
Just weeks after the New York Rangers spoiled the Winter Classic for Philadelphia Flyers fans, the two cities took the hardwood for what would be an early test for both teams. Once again, New York came away victorious. From the get-go, the New York Knicks dominated and despite a late rally from the 76ers, held on for a 85-79 win. The Knicks needed Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire to step...

Dorell Wright Takes Down His Old Team
Posted on 11 Jan 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
Way back in 2010, the Miami Heat formed a “Dream Team”. When they went out and acquired LeBron James and Chris Bosh, it meant the end of the road for Michael Beasley and Dorell Wright. I stated then that while Beasley had more hype coming in when he was drafted #2 overall behind Derrick Rose, Wright was the player that the Heat were more likely to miss. It took some time, but ...

Two Games Above Sea Level
Posted on 10 Jan 2012 by Arthur Kai.
Two weeks into this abbreviated NBA season, the Los Angeles Lakers are two games above .500, are in 7th place in the Western Conference (only two games out of first place) and as a team, still look like work in progress. This version of the Lakeshow, appears to be more of a cohesive unit on defense, than offense. Which is a good thing, because the Lakers could easily see themselves on the negat...

Maynor’s ACL Won’t Doom Thunder Yet
Posted on 8 Jan 2012 by Steven Jones.
On the same day the Oklahoma City Thunder received the season's worst news, they recorded their most impressive victory. Playing its third game in three days, the young team led start-to-finish in a 108-96 victory over visiting San Antonio that was nowhere near as close as the final score. The second unit also provided hopeful signs that the loss for the season of backup point guard Eric Maynor...
