Mike D’Antoni & L.A. Lakers star in The Italian Job
Posted on 18 Nov 2012 by Cal Lee.
Mike D'Antoni will be calling his first game as the head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Phoenix Suns tonight at the Staples Center. The expectations of success for the embattled head coach will be at its highest since his hiring was looked at as a means for Jim Buss to snub legendary head coach Phil Jackson over coaching this talented squad. Everyone in the NBA community knew the ...

Star Power…West wins 152-149 thriller over the East
Posted on 27 Feb 2012 by Warren Shaw.
When one thinks of the NBA All-Star game one tends to think about a game that doesn't mean much with sloppy lob attempts and matador defense. All of that is usually true but the All-Star game of 2012 was one of competitiveness, excitement, and heroics. Fans were treated to a thrilling game where Kevin Durant led the Western Conference to a 152-149 win. Durant captured his first All-Star game ...

See You in…13 Years
Posted on 2 May 2011 by Andy R Strom.
Well, the Mavs took care of the Blazers in 6 games. Just like…well, just like I had predicted. But no Dougie dance here, just a mention. What needed to come together for the Mavs in their first round series against a big and tough Blazer team did just that. The bench showed up, it may have been different guys on different nights, but that’s why the Mavs depth is so valuable. Kidd and Chandl...

TIME TO BEAR DOWN STARS
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Travis Currie.
Things are tightening up like a vice in the Western conference playoff race and the Stars are currently on the bubble. They can either start winning and push somebody else out onto that bubble or call it a season. Each team is desperate and playoff atmosphere is already abound. It's going to take a hero to make that play, block that shot, score that goal, make that big save, etc. So who's it go...

Parity No Rarity
Posted on 9 Jan 2011 by Patrick McLellan.
If the Blues were to have won their game against the New York Rangers last night, they would be in fifth place in the Western Conference. Instead, they sit in 12th. 12th place is only one point behind the 8th and final playoff spot. The parity in the Western Conference is unbelievable this year. As Jim Morrison used to say; the West is the best. It couldn’t be truer. Yes, there are some great...

Monta Ellis is an All-Star
Posted on 28 Dec 2010 by Scott Johnston.
Monta Ellis is an All-Star. No question. I think we can move on. Let’s try to figure out something much more difficult to explain, like the popularity of the Kardashians. Question has been asked and answered. Done. Over. I know an All-Star when I see one and Monta Ellis is an All-Star. Ellis is still only 25-years old and in his 6th NBA season. Ellis was drafted in the 2nd round out of hi...

Back From Vacation, I Write About a Laker Victory
Posted on 17 Dec 2010 by Donovan Williams.
I'm back. I know you missed me. The holidays are busy. A full-time job, wife, two kids (3 1/2 & 7 months), kids birthday parties and black Friday shopping are all priorities this time of year. Sadly, the blog job that I do not get paid for gets knocked down the priority list. Sorry. The Lakers have been horrible to watch as of late. I've written before in this space that it really does no...

Jackets Getting Back on Track
Posted on 16 Dec 2010 by Jason Wagensveld.
After experiencing their longest losing streak of the season, the Jackets look to be getting their game back on track. They have earned 6 of the possible 10 points in their last five games. It has been a tough stretch in the schedule for the Jackets as tonight they will be playing their fifth game in eight night. However, they need the points and it won't be an acceptable excuse if...

Looking For Three Straight: Oilers vs. Blue Jackets
Posted on 28 Oct 2010 by Jason Wagensveld.
The Blue Jackets look to make it three straight wins as they are host to the Edmonton Oilers tonight at 7:00 pm. The Oilers are sitting at the basement of the Western Conference and are in the midst of a rebuilding stage with plenty of youthful talent. The Blue Jackets can't afford to lose two points to the struggling Oilers or any team for that matter. It should be a fast paced game wi...

Game One in the Books
Posted on 9 Oct 2010 by Jason Wagensveld.
The Blue Jackets fell just short of earning two points in their first game of the season. They fell to the San Jose Sharks 3-2 as the Sharks scored a powerplay goal during the third period to put them in the lead. If you are a glass half full type of fan then you will see that there are plenty of positives to take from the loss. Positive #1: Despite Steve Mason having a slow start t...

Western Conference Predictions
Posted on 1 Oct 2010 by Corey Krakower.
Last week, I posted my Eastern Conference predictions for the 2010-11 NHL regular season. Now it’s time to take a look at where the teams in the West are likely to fall. The Western Conference consists of 4 “elite” teams, a whole bunch that are in building mode at the same time, and the Calgary Flames. This makes projecting where teams will finish that much tougher, because the majority o...
