Sixers Are Officially in Free-fall
Posted on 18 Dec 2012 by Michael Thibault.
The Sixers fell to the Mavericks tonight in Dallas 107-100. OJ Mayo lead the way with 26 points for the Mavericks and Dorell Wright, yes you heard that right, Dorell Wright led the Sixers with 25. The game was close the entire way until mid-way through the fourth quarter when the Sixers defense completely fell apart, which has become a trend. The Sixers were missing Jrue Holiday for a third str...

What Bynum could mean to Sixers
Posted on 17 Dec 2012 by Michael Thibault.
Today, Andrew Bynum announced that he is “feeling much better”, and could possibly return to action soon. I think Sixers fans by now have learned to block these words out and stare down the realization that we probably won't be seeing our savior this season. But a small part of me believe's it this time. With the Sixers glaring at what could be a crippling schedule over the next mon...

The Curious Case of Andrew Bynum and the 76ers
Posted on 22 Nov 2012 by Warren Shaw.
What does one say about Andrew Bynum? The better question is what do the Philadelphia 76’ers do with Andrew Bynum if he does indeed have season ending surgery on his rickety knees? Both questions are riddles as mysterious as Bynum and the case with his knees seem to be. A report surfaced earlier in the week that Bynum had suffered a setback injuring his other knee while bowling and now has â€...

Center of Attention No More
Posted on 25 Oct 2012 by Warren Shaw.
With the presidential campaign season in full swing and the public thinking about their vote, the NBA decided to amend their own voting procedures in reference to the All-Star game. Without any sort of debate either. On Tuesday night, David Aldridge of NBA.COM announced the league’s decision to delete the center position from the All-Star ballot effective immediately. Instead fans will have t...

Beasts in the East: NBA Atlantic Division Preview
Posted on 17 Oct 2012 by Warren Shaw.
The NBA's very busy off season has transformed the Atlantic Division into a battlefield that could very well be the the league's best division. Gone are the days of just ink penning the Celtics as the division's champion with the Knicks, Nets, and 76′ers all vastly improved. What the Nets have done by moving to Brooklyn and essentially picking a fight with the oldest member on the block...

Sometimes you have to tip your hat and sometimes you have to shake your head. And sometimes you get to do both at the same damn time, especially if the L.A. Lakers are involved in a trade. After months of speculation, rumors, and false reports Dwight Howard was finally traded to the Lakers in a 4-team blockbuster deal reported by ESPN Thursday night. The specifics shake out like this: The Lak...

Rim Rocking Notes: Free Agency Fireworks before the 4th
Posted on 4 Jul 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Fireworks sparked off in the NBA a day early with the news of multiple free agent signings and rumors of potential signings that continue to keep fans salivating. No signing was bigger than that of Deron Williams who returned to the Brooklyn Nets to the tune of 5 years $100 million. Williams announced his return via Twitter/lockerz saying “Made a very tough decision today” and pos...

Thunder Blow Lakers Out of OKC
Posted on 22 May 2012 by Steven Jones.
Oklahoma City Thunder General Manager Sam Presti famously learned his craft as an underling for the San Antonio Spurs. R.C. Buford and Gregg Popovich, among others, taught Presti how to thoughtfully construct a team. When given his own team, Presti ingrained the Spurs Code, got lucky with a few ping-pong balls, and set about building his house from the foundation up. Now, he gets to test his te...

Game 2 Slips Through Lakeshow Fingers
Posted on 17 May 2012 by Arthur Kai.
The Los Angeles Lakers squandered a huge opportunity to steal Game 2 on the road, losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder 77-75. Up by seven points with 2 minutes left in a gritty matchup, the Lakers allowed the Thunder to go on an 8-0, thanks to turnovers, a Black Mamba disappearing act to end the ball game, and Steve Blake's Derek Fisher impersonation gone wrong (missing a 3-point attempt that wo...

LakeShow Gets Blasted by OKC
Posted on 15 May 2012 by Arthur Kai.
The Los Angeles Lakers get demolished on the road in Game 1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder 119-90. This game can be summed up in one word. Smackage! Yes, the lost was so bad that I had to invent a new word in the English vocabulary to capture the full essence of how the Lakeshow were basically man-handled. Kobe Bryant showed up last night, not the Black Mamba who could impose his will on a...

Thunder Approach Perfection in Blowout
Posted on 15 May 2012 by Steven Jones.
The Oklahoma City Thunder waited the past seven days for a second-round opponent. One game later, they're still waiting. The visiting Los Angeles Lakers showed every bit of the exhaustion from their Round 1 battle with Denver, playing one decent quarter before collapsing in a heap of errant shots and botched defensive assignments. It's dangerous to jump to conclusions after one game, especially...

Lakeshow Drops The Ball Against The Nuggets
Posted on 9 May 2012 by Arthur Kai.
The Los Angeles Lakers squander a big opportunity to finish off the Denver Nuggets, losing Game 5, 102-99 at the Staples Center. Besides the flashback “I am The Black Mamba” performance by Kobe Bryant, the rest of the Lakeshow had an uninspired night of play to forget. Even Bryant's 43 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists effort couldn't overcome the lethargic play of his team. “I...
