Posted on 23 Apr 2012 by Eric Cooney.
The Los Angeles Kings, seen as serious underdogs in their first round match up against the President's Trophy winner Vancouver Canucks, managed to topple the Goliath in just 5 games. I want to just point out a few things that helped the Kings to their first series win in 11 years. (more…)

76ers Top Wilt, Rout Warriors 105-83.
Posted on 3 Mar 2012 by Mike Rapine.
The Philadelphia 76ers came into Friday night’s bout with the Golden State Warriors with two goals in mind. First off, and most importantly, the 76ers needed to take care of business against the Warriors and if all went well with that, then they needed to find a way to celebrate and honor the 50th anniversary of Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game. The 76ers didn’t waste any time putting aw...

Parker, Spurs Too Much for 76ers
Posted on 8 Feb 2012 by Mike Rapine.
So, Wednesday night the Philadelphia 76ers found out there is a team hotter than they are. The streaking San Antonio Spurs came into Philadelphia and rode the hot hand of Tony Parker to a sixth straight win, beating the 76ers 100-90. Many felt that the older and slower Spurs would struggle to pick up the slack with do-everything guard Manu Ginobili already missing 22 games, but Tony Parker look...

Week 4: Ravens vs. Jets–Defense, Defense, Defense
Posted on 3 Oct 2011 by Frank Sullivan.
Last Night's Ravens-Jets game was unusual. Maybe it was the seven combined turnovers, or the five defensive or special teams touchdowns that set it apart. Maybe it was the fact that only one offensive touchdown was scored by either team. Or maybe we're witnessing, finally, the rise of the Ravens as a serious Super Bowl contender. And subsequently, the fall of the Jets. I could list off of...

The Celtics drill 14 Threes to take 3-0 lead over the Knicks
Posted on 22 Apr 2011 by Warren Shaw.
If there was ever a championship performance blueprint then this 113-96 Boston Celtic victory would and should be in the plans for the C’s. Boston led from the opening tip to the closing buzzer drilling 14 threes, out-rebounding the Knicks 43-33 and suffocating New York’s will to play right out of Madison Square Garden. Paul Pierce had 38 points, Ray Allen scored 32 while Rajon Rondo triple...

Colts Running Backs
Posted on 21 Apr 2011 by Nick Clason.
This is the fourth and final installment of our series on the Colts draft needs. The reason I say this is an off-season need is due to the fact that the only running back under contract from last season is Donald Brown. I hope (and think) the Colts will bring back Joseph Addai, Dominic Rhodes, and Mike Hart, or all three. Addai proved to be incredibly valuable after being out last season...

Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups Light Up Nets at MSG
Posted on 30 Mar 2011 by Jim Mancari.
Despite some significant improvements this season, the New Jersey Nets are still a year or two away from figuring it all out on the court. Though they led by 16 points in the first half, the Nets dropped a 120-116 heartbreaker to the cross-town rival New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. In Carmelo Anthony’s first game against the team that coveted him, he did not disappoint. Melo led all...

Danny Granger Lifts Pacers Past Nets Late
Posted on 21 Mar 2011 by Jim Mancari.
Though they showed some late fight, the New Jersey Nets dropped their third straight game, 102-98, to the Indiana Pacers at the Prudential Center in Newark. The Pacers have now defeated the Nets seven consecutive times dating back to 2008. The Nets were without Deron Williams for the second game in a row. Despite only scoring three points on 1-of-9 shooting in the first half, Pacers’ forward ...

Derrick Rose Outduels Deron Williams in Bulls’ WIn
Posted on 17 Mar 2011 by Jim Mancari.
I guess all good things must come to an end. Despite a valiant fourth quarter comeback, the New Jersey Nets lost an 84-73 contest to the Chicago Bulls at the Prudential Center in Newark. It might have been their green jerseys—or in Joakim Noah’s case, green shoes—that allowed St. Patrick to favor Chicago in this one. With a season-low 73 points, the Nets’ five-game winning streak comes ...

Sixers Come Back But Falter in OT Against Jazz
Posted on 14 Mar 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
I'm not sure how to perceive this game. Should I applaud them for being down 18 at half but then showing heart on the road and coming back to send it into overtime? Should I be angry that the Sixers actually took a lead and had a shot to win it before going to overtime? I'll take both sides and be happy with their effort because against the Bucks they fell apart, but the Jazz they showed real l...

NJ Nets Earn 5th Straight Win
Posted on 14 Mar 2011 by Jim Mancari.
The New Jersey Nets are a new team. With Deron Williams back in the lineup after missing the last two games, the Nets battled to an 88-79 victory over the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics at the Prudential Center in Newark. The Nets are now the proud owners of a five-game winning streak. This is the first time that New Jersey has won five in a row since the 2007-2008 season. The Nets a...

WINDS OF CHANGE SWIRL FOR THE VIKINGS AND THE NFL
Posted on 3 Mar 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
Stability is not a word I would use to describe anything going on in the world of the Minnesota Vikings today. The NFL seems on the verge of a lockout, although the owners and players did agree to a 24 hour extension earlier today. Quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was not offered a tender, making him a free agent once the labor issues are resolved. That is certainly not a shock. Pa...
