The NBA All Star starters were named last week and for the most part the fans did a decent job of selecting the players who deserved to be there. It’s a flawed system so perfection can’t be expected. While the fans may have let biases cloud their decisions on a few players who will start, the coaches will try to fill out each roster in democratic and deserving fashion. Or at least so we hop...

Lakers / Heat Stoke NBA ’12-13
Posted on 16 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
Consider this the year of LeBron. Not because he and his Heat team are a lock to repeat as champs in 2013. Au contraire, the new & improved Lakers will have a thing or two to say about who dons that crown come next June. Rather, it’s because this’ll be the first time in his 10-year NBA tenure that Mr. James can actually enjoy himself on a basketball court. Having garnered that elusive c...

How Do The Champs Rebound After A Sweep
Posted on 19 May 2012 by Max Barton.
The Mavericks started the season with a different supporting cast, letting key players from the title run walk out the door.

Dwight Howard nonexistent as Knicks breeze by Magic
Posted on 5 Apr 2012 by Michael Burke.
When the New York Knicks stepped on the court tonight to face the Orlando Magic, they made it very apparent that they were ready to bounce back from Tuesday night’s fourth quarter collapse in Indiana, and they did just that. For the second time in eight days, the Knicks dominated the Magic, and for the second time in eight days, kept Dwight Howard silent, mostly credited to Tyson Chandler. On...

Tough Stretch Ahead For The Old Guys
Posted on 29 Feb 2012 by Max Barton.
When this delayed season finally started, no one gave the Mavericks the respect they deserved for being the champs, or at least that’s the case according the Shawn Marion. Everyone, but Maverick fans, had written them off before they even had a chance to prove themselves, “they had a lucky run last year” or “they cant do it again”, are just some of the statements that have been made. ...

Posted on 26 Dec 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
Merry Christmas. The Miami Heat opened the season by beating down the Dallas Mavericks 105-94 on Sunday, and it wasn't that close. The Heat were up by 35 points in the 3rd quarter and during trash time the Mavs outscored Miami reserves 29-8 in the 4th quarter. LeBron, Dwyane and the rest of the Heat exacted at least a small measure of revenge against Dallas for their loss in the NBA Final...
