Power Rankings: Week 15
It’s all star time and some teams can’t wait to get there, while others just want to keep on rolling. Impressive win by the Lakers the other night against a depleted Portland team. The Jazz are the hottest team in the NBA and are almost unstoppable at home.
The Grizzlies return to Earth after their short period in a place they don’t belong. In the playoffs. I think where every team is right now is how it’s to be during playoff time. …

Less than a week until the All-Star Game!! But not so fast, there’s still four more days of NBA action left before we get to a weekend of the game’s best. But be sure to check back to NBAtoday.net for full coverage of the All-Star Game and all of its events.

Monday
Mavericks @ Warriors – This game might not even be that great, but I just remember the 2007 playoffs when the Warriors upset the Mavs in the first round. Man, that was great. I wish I could see Mark Cuban’s …

Magic 96, Celtics 89
First off, I’d like to say that this is not my normal wrap-up coverage night, but The Ref (who adores Ray Allen and any team he is on) and Duts (who adores shamrocks and anything else green, specifically Celtic green) who normally have this night were not in the right state of mind to be covering this game. Not only that, but its Super Bowl Sunday, and you know that they’re trying to ‘forget’ what happened earlier in the day.
So here comes Shooter to the rescue!
Unfortunately for …

Wow, a lot of Top 25 teams played yesterday. Actually all except 2 were action on College Saturday highlighted by No. 8 Georgetown taking on No. 2 Villanova in the nation’s capital. Kentucky tries to regain it’s composure from their loss against the Gamecocks, and Michigan State faces off with Illinois in a Big Ten battle. A lot of action, and it’s three weeks from March Madness. I can barely contain my emotion. I have the Future is Ready post coming out this week to illustrate all of the NBA interest. …

Hornets 104, Bobcats 99
I’m starting to think the Bobcats are taking their winning ways for granted. That sounded really lame, but seriously, after being up by 10 points at the half the Hornets outscored Charlotte 36-21 in the third quarter.
Wait a second – Charlotte? Remember a team that used to play there?
Grandma-ma does.
Wow, I really don’t know where I’m going with this.
Back to the game…. The Hornets won for the first time since Chris Paul was sidelined with his knee surgery. Darren Collison led the way for the Stingers with …

The San Antonio Spurs and the Boston Celtics are two of the better franchises in the NBA, hands down. The Celtics should probably be considered one of the greatest franchises in all of sports, whereas the Spurs have been a force in the NBA for the past decade. Both of these teams are still considered as contenders to win in it all this June, but I can’t help but think these two teams are headed downward, and faster than you think.

It is my humble opinion, that both of these teams …
