Another Step in the Right Direction for the Clip Show

Just over a month ago, the LA Clippers excused Mike Dunleavy as their coach, allowing him to focus on being the full-time general manager. Turns out that wasn’t the only privilege they planned on taking from him. Dunleavy was unexpectedly let go as the team’s GM on Tuesday, officially ending the relationship between the Clippers …

Rookie Rankings: Week 19

Here we are, nearing the end of the season and the Rookie of the Year race is wide open. I’d say 3 guys have a legit shot at winning ROY and another 2 guys should steal some votes from the top vote getters.  Since we are so close to the end of the year my rankings will now be a top 5 system with those 5 being the actual contenders for ROY.
1.  Tyreke Evans – Let’s be serious, ROY is usually voted based upon numbers and not so much what …

Andrew Bogut is Better Than Garnett, D-Wade Needed Extra Help, and the Jazz Beasted (Oh and Kobe Hit Another Winner, WTF!)

In tonight’s spotlight of games, I’ll add Andrew Bogut to the list of players better than Kevin Garnett, spotlight how the Heat need to get Wade a solid second fiddle, and show that the Jazz are a legitimate powerhouse out West.
Bucks 86, Celtics 84
Nene, myself, D.J. Mbenga, and now Andrew Bogut. That’s right, all of these players are now ranked higher than Kevin Garnett in my eyes. Bogut was ridiculous in this game with 25 points and 17 rebounds. Garnett did have 14 points and 10 rebounds, but that …

The Cavs are First to 50 Wins as LBJ Sits Again…Plus More!

Let’s take a look at three key games tonight…
Cavaliers 97, Spurs 95
LeBron James sat, resting his body along with a tender ankle. Manu Ginobili dropped 38 points. Spurs win right? Nope. Mo Williams and Delonte West both came up time after time through the late parts of this game, to put the Spurs away. If you’re LeBron, or Coach Mike Brown, this win has to give you a large amount of confidence. What makes it even better, is that the Cavs were down entering the fourth quarter. For whatever reason, …

Power Rankings: Week 19

With approximately 20 games left in the season, the best in show are starting to slip up when it matters most. Well, maybe it doesn’t have that type of ramifications, but the Lakers and Cavs have not looked like themselves in the past few weeks. Should we be worried? Should we start to reconsider who is the favorite to represent each other in their respected conferences?
A lot of questions, and only The Ref can give viable answers. Let’s get to it.
Biggest Gain: Milwaukee (+4)
Biggest Loss: Chicago (-4)
1.Dallas (43-21) Since the …

What to Watch for: Mar 8 – 14

Every night in the NBA is completely unpredictable. Anything can happen at any time, and no one can prophesize each coming day. So this is a what to watch for, but don’t be constrained by these games, watch them all! Here is a preview though of the games I am looking forward to the most!

Monday
Spurs @ Cavs – This matchup should mean a lot more, but since the Spurs are no considered a top class team, there really isn’t much chance of this being a Finals preview. But let’s hope …
