SOUND OFF: Cleveland Rocks! Bottom In NBA Draft
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Cal Lee.
The buzz surrounding the 2011 NBA Draft was never really about what the Cleveland Cavaliers should do rather than what they shouldn't do. The hype leading up to the top 2 prospects Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams made me wonder whether Cleveland was clearly looking for one these guys to be their future or if they were being bullied to take someone because of the hype that comes with having ...

Assessing Draft Needs: The Atlantic Division
Posted on 3 Jun 2011 by Warren Shaw.
Over the next couple weeks I will break down the draft needs of each team in the league grouped by their division in the NBA. I will not pretend to know who each team is targeting as most of that is all speculation anyway. Most teams have glaring needs but may not have the picks or money to fix everything right away. Keep in mind this year's crop of recruits is considered to be weaker than most...

Surprise heroes, second round playoffs – thoughts, sights, sounds…
Posted on 29 Apr 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
Out of nowhere, comes two unlikely potential playoff heroes… Michal Neuvirth and Dwayne Roloson. Neuvirth, a seemingly steady and technically efficient goalie, is facing 29.6 shots/game. He can thank the Cap's shin pads for keeping that number under 30 shots/game. Roloson, an energetic and somewhat spastic net minder, has seen over 36 shots/game - but he has been equally as im...

Situation on the Bulldogs’ Defensive Line
Posted on 15 Apr 2011 by Brenden Hull.
Let's face it: the defensive line was one of the worst positions on Georgia's team last year. Nose guard DeAngelo Tyson frequently failed to secure the middle, and defensive end Demarcus Dobbs did not follow up on a fairly successful 2009 season. This resulted in Georgia allowing 147.23 rushing yards per game, which was 53rd in the country. However, all that has changed now. In fact, it's chang...

Villanova Gets 9 Seed, Draws Tournament Darling George Mason
Posted on 15 Mar 2011 by Brendan Kelly.
It's been 5 years since George Mason shocked the world and made a run to the Final Four as an 11 seed. Since then they have made the NCAA tournament only once, a first round loss to Notre Dame in 2008. There is no one left, except coach Jim Larranaga, from that 2006 team, and only two remaining players from the 2008 tournament team. Whats the point? There are not many similarities between Cinde...

Wildcats Top Tigers
Posted on 26 Feb 2011 by Nate Jacobson.
The Tigers woes away from Mizzou Arena continued on Saturday afternoon. Kansas State used 20-10 run in the last six minutes to defeat the Missouri 80-70. A three-pointer by Tigers guard Michael Dixon (10 points) with 6:16 left evened the scored at 60. From that point on the Wildcats scored 16 out of the next 18 points to cruise to victory. The Wildcats were the better team in the first half sco...

Suns Land Brooks
Posted on 24 Feb 2011 by Brad Botkin.
The way I figure it, the Suns need to win somewhere between 18 and 20 of their final 28 games to have a realistic shot at making the playoffs. It's a tough assignment, but in the suddenly depleted Western Conference, it's at least feasible. In my opinion, even more so after the trade the Suns pulled off on Thursday. In exchange for backup point guard Goran Dragic, who is stable but nothing spec...

Combined Effort Fuel Sixers Easy Win Over Wizards
Posted on 23 Feb 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
The Sixers have become a team to be feared at home. Last year their home record was one of the worst in basketball, this year it is top 5 in the eastern conference. Now add the worst road team in NBA history against a very good home team in the 76ers and its a recipe for an easy victory. The 23 point victory of the Wizards was one of the easiest games the Sixers have had all year. And once agai...

Clippers Show Lakers There Are Two Teams in Los Angeles, win 99-92 The Los Angeles Clippers couldn’t wait to eliminate the bad taste of being defeated by the Los Angeles by only one point after Derek Fisher made a lay-up with less than 2 seconds left on the clock.

Bobcats Led By DJ Augustin Keep Winning Streak Alive
Posted on 14 Jan 2011 by John Boller.
A pre-game pep talk from the owner, a slow star by the opposing team, and a career-best performance by their point guard leads the Charlotte Bobcats to their four straight win. For Charlotte, last night’s 96-91 win over the Chicago Bulls improved the team’s record to 11-9 at home and was the Bobcat’s sixth win in their last eight games. The team is now 6-2 under their interim head coach P...
