Game of the Year

Boston 112, Miami 106 (OT)
What a game tonight! I don’t know what any of you guys were doing, but if you missed the end of this game, it is a regret you will have to live with.
Miami has been struggling of late, and the Celtics face their worst injury trouble since bringing both Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen two short years ago. However, the C’s obtained Rajon Rondo and Pierce back for tonight’s game and boy, did they need them.
The game was back and forth throughout, each team bestowing masterful …

NBA Suspends Wizards G Arenas Indefinitely

NBA commissioner David Stern has suspended Wizards G Gilbert Arenas indefinitely for his poor judgment in bringing guns to the arena. Well, not just that, but also for the report of pulling a gun out on teammate Javaris Crittenton in the locker room. Whether or not that was true (which Arenas says was done as a joke), Arenas is creating an unfortunate image for NBA players and a poor model for children to follow.
I was surprised that Stern didn’t make this decision sooner. I expected Arenas to be suspended indefinitely …

Vote 4 Nash: He’s Awesome

Steve Nash is currently 3rd in the All-Star voting for guards in the Western Conference according to it’s last release on December 31, 2009.  Nash unfortunately trails Tracy McGrady in voting by a small amount.  A lot of players who are on the verge of making the All-Star Game each year will try to do a self-promotion whether it be on their website, a commercial and now twitter.  I read last week that Nash was approached about making a video to get people to vote for the 5-time All-Star.
This is …

Mark Cuban: Always Finding Something to Complain About

Mark Cuban, complain?
I know how weird that sounds, but by golly, he really did complain (again). This time, Cuban isn’t upset with the NBA, who he more or less thinks is out to get him, but he was complaining about the NFL of all things!
The NFL scheduled a first-round home playoff game for the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night, which happens to be at the same time as the Mavericks’ home game against the Utah Jazz. So of course, he can’t just accept this:
“I know we’re just little pissants compared …

Star-less Nuggets Sqeak Out Victory, Memphis Over .500, Suns Win On The Road

Nuggets 123, Warriors 122
The Nuggets were without Melo, Billups and the Birdman yet again, but the Nuggets still managed to win the game with 0.4 seconds left.  JR Smith took about a 40-footer, pumped faked and was fouled.  it sent JR to the line who hit the first 2 free throws to put the Nuggets up 1 and missed the last one on purpose.  Ty Lawson continues to impress with 21 points and 8 assists but left the game with what appeared to be a sprained ankle.  Joey Graham also …

Hibbert is Howard’s Kryptonite; Wizards Able to Hold off Sixers; Wallace and Jackson Lead Bobcats

Pacers 97, Magic 90
When I saw that the fans voted for this game on NBAtv I thought to myself, “What a horrible game to pick.  Without Granger and Murphy the Pacers have no chance.”  Boy was I wrong!  This is the beauty of the NBA in the regular season.  Any team can be any other team despite their records.  The Indiana Pacers were able to limit Dwight Howard to six shots (2-6 from the field) and kept him in foul trouble all night.  Roy Hibbert provided the aggressiveness that this …

Jayson Williams Is At It Again (No, Not Shooting Anyone)

Jayson Williams, former Net great, was charged with drunken driving early Tuesday morning (sometime after 3:15) after he had crashed his car into a tree as he veered off of an exit.  Just what Williams needs, a drunken driving charge while awaiting his manslaughter case.  I think it’s safe to say Williams is a dumbass, pardon my French.  Williams was trying to exit off of FDR Drive in Manhattan early this morning and crashed into a tree; when police got there Williams was in the passenger seat and he said …
