As G said in our latest podcast, “We are in the playoff push.” Couldn’t have said it better myself, haha. Teams are playing hard and trying to survive through this long season. Here’s a look at some of the bigger games of the next week!
Monday
Hawks @ Bulls – If the Bulls want to make the playoffs, they have to win games at home. No more excuses for this team. Then again, they’re really not that good, so who am I to force to win.
Blazers @ Grizzlies – Pretty good matchup …
Shaq is heading to Baltimore on Monday to take care of his severly sprained thumb which he injured against the Celtics last week going up for a dunk when he was fouled. On one hand it’s funny because Shaq sprained his thumb and acted like nothing even happened, but if I had done something like that you’d know it; that’s why Shaq is the closest thing to Superman and I’m sitting here writing about it.
Shaq is having surgery on his thumb and the typical recovery time is 6-9 weeks and there are …
Spurs 113, Suns 110
It’s pretty incredible that the Suns have Amare Stoudemire drop 41 points, and lose. What is even more remarkable is that the Spurs leading scorer only put up half of Amare’s points.
Oh, but it gets worse. How did the Suns really lose this game? A missed dunk. Jason Richardson missed a dunk with 41 seconds left that would have tied up the game. San Antonio made them pay after that, hitting 9 of 9 foul shots after that point. What was evident was the impressive play of …
Tonight Shooter and I drove to the IZOD Center to watch the New Jersey Nets square off against the Washington Wizards. Little did we know, that Andray Blatche decided to put on a show. Blatche finished with 36 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 assists. Blatche is a guy who was drafted straight out of high school late in the second round in 2005. The past two seasons he came off the bench being fairly productive for the Wizards. As most of you know that the Wizards have decided to rebuild …

Nets 104, Celtics 96
It’s obvious that the Nets win over the Celtics has yet to sink in for me, because I am still waiting for them to blow the game as they have so many times this year. Note to self: The game is over!
Here’s the lowdown on this game… It was a 1pm matinee and there was plenty of college basketball on TV. Going into the game, I knew the Nets would lose because they were playing the Celtics, in Boston nonetheless. Butttttttt, I decided to watch anyway. The …
Ladies and Gents, you’re all in for a treat, as Bud Light has unofficially sponsored this post. Let’s begin.
Cavaliers 126, Raptors 118 (OT)
LeBron. LeBron. LeBron. LeBron was shaken up, taking a knee to the quad early in this game, but he recovered well, pouring in 36 points to go along with 6 rebounds, and 9 assists. Toronto was gutsy in this game though, playing without superstar Chris Bosh. Andrea Bargnani and Jarrett Jack each had 24, but at the end of the day, the Cavs, playing without LeShaq, won …
