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...

Lamar Odom Has To Go
Posted on 28 Mar 2012 by Max Barton.
Shawn Marion should be in talks for Defensive Player of The Year, the only small forward to ever win the award was Ron Artest in 2003-04 for the Pacers. The coach of that Indiana team was, wait for it, Rick Carlisle. Seems that a second small forward has a chance to win this year, even though over the past couple of years it has been a big man award. Marion missed his third and final game due t...

Sixers Hold Down High Paced Rockets
Posted on 30 Mar 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
It was a Kyle Lowry homecoming, and he was certainly playing like it was his home court in the first half. The North Philadelphia and Villanova product was raining 3′s and forcing Jrue Holiday to turn the ball over. Then in the second half, specifically the 4th quarter, the Sixers started clamping down on defense and executing on offense. Jrue Holiday and Thad Young sparked the Sixers and...

Lowry’s Triple Double Sinks Jazz
Posted on 21 Mar 2011 by Wilson Tarpeh Jr..
The Utah Jazz are suffering right now, not only did they just lose this game to the Rockets but they gave up their place in what was the 9th playoff spot. The Rockets are now just 1.5 games behind the Memphis Grizzlies for the 8th and final playoff spot. Lowry led the Rockets to a 110-108 victory over the Utah Jazz, the Rockets jumped out to a fast start outscoring the Jazz 30-19 in the first q...

Rockets’ Explosive Shooting Dooms Kings
Posted on 8 Mar 2011 by Steven Jones.
No rational NBA fan, after glancing at the rosters or watching a few of their recent contests, would expect a memorable offensive display from the Kings and Rockets. And they'd be right, because while the teams blistered the nets for 123 combined points in the first half, only visiting Houston could maintain the torrid pace as the evening moved on. The Kings lost sight of the game in a disast...

Gordon Returns, Leads Clippers Past Rockets
Posted on 3 Mar 2011 by Taylor Smith.
The Los Angeles Clippers got their leading scorer back, and not a moment too soon. Eric Gordon, playing in his first game since January 22, scored a team-high 24 points as the Clippers downed the hot Houston Rockets 106-103 at Staples Center Wednesday night. The win snapped a five-game losing streak for the Clippers, while Houston's five-game winning streak came to an end, as well. Nine of Gor...

Head(ing) Down
Posted on 11 Jan 2011 by Warren Shaw.
One would think that after Saturday's lackluster effort in Chicago where the Celtics were handled 90-79 by the Bulls, that the Celtics would be ready to pummel the Rockets on Monday night. One would think… The Rockets entered the game without the services of leading scorer Kevin Martin, big man Brad Miller, and a hobbling Aaron Brooks. Not to mention they were losers of 5 straight games. ...

Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em alone Week 9
Posted on 20 Dec 2010 by Warren Shaw.
The last week in fantasy has been anything but slow! I have lots to get to so forgive the short analysis. Gilbert Arenas: New team for Gil but likely the same situation with him coming off the bench in Orlando. He will have an opportunity to do a little more playmaking and also have Superman down on the blocks. Van Gundy says he is too good of a talent to not get at least 30 minutes a night. P...

Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em Alone Week 8
Posted on 13 Dec 2010 by Warren Shaw.
Hope all is well in your fantasy leagues my friends. Let’s get busy with Week 8 of Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em alone. Brandon Bass: Bass is the starting power forward in Orlando at least for now. Coach Van Gundy claims he is going to continue to change his lineup based on matchups but I still believe Bass is worth grabbing. He has been incredibly efficient all season and if he does hold on to...

Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em Alone week 7
Posted on 5 Dec 2010 by Warren Shaw.
Injury and coaching inaptitude highlight this week’s edition of Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em alone. Let’s get to work! Jerryd Bayless: Jose Calderon owners beware! Bayless has played well in 2 of his last 3 games highlighted by a 23pt, 7reb, 6ast and 5 made threes effort against the Knicks on Sunday. Bayless is not a pure point guard but is instant offense which Toronto seems to lack. It is g...

Wildcats Looking for that Third Option
Posted on 18 Nov 2010 by Brendan Kelly.
Jay Wright once again has the Villanova Wildcats back in the national spotlight. After a final four appearance two years ago and a number 2 seed in the NCAA tournament last year, the best-dressed coach in college basketball once again has his team primed for a deep run in March. The Wildcats return three starters, all seniors: guards Corey Stokes and Corey Fisher, as well as big man Antonio Pen...

7 quick thoughts on the Rockets preseason opener
Posted on 6 Oct 2010 by Adam Spolane.
The Rockets lost their preseason opener tonight against Orlando, and while it means nothing, it is the first look we've gotten at them in a game situation, so here are 7 quick thoughts I had on the game: 1. It was just good to see Yao on the floor again. The fact that he played and made it through his 12 minutes is a big positive. I liked that they brought him back in during the first period af...
