Bucks 97, Nets 77
In a game where Shooter and I (JB) were supposed to go to, the Nets hung tough until the end of the third quarter. The snowstorm that hit the Tri-State area caused many fans to stay home. However there were about 1,000 fans who came to see the Nets lose again and did not come away disappointed. The Nets contained Brandon Jennings who only scored eight points, but his back up, Luke Ridnour, went off for 17 points. Andrew Bogut led the Bucks with 22 points, 9 …
Tonight the New Jersey Nets faced off against the Milwaukee Bucks at the Izod Center in Rutherford, New Jersey. For our readers around the country and the world who may not be aware of this, a blizzard hit the New Jersey/New York area late last night. The snow continued all day forcing many New Jersyians to stay home. At game time there was only about 1,000 fans in attendance so the Nets allowed everyone to move down and watch the game courtside! A great gesture by the Nets considering that …
Heat 99, Rockets 66
The Heat’s defense looked like the best in the entire universe for one game only… not really. It was a combination of that and HRBL shooting by the Rockets who shot 30% for the game. The Rockets highest scoring quarter in this game was 24 points and the other three were 11, 15 and 16. Embarassing. Miami’s bench outscored Houston’s 48-24 and the high scorer for the Heat was D-Wade with just 17 points. Miami hit 41 shots and 27 of them were assisted which is a …
Lace up your….ice cleats?
The Harlem Globetrotters took a little field trip to Manhattan on Tuesday to play a game of basketball, on a hockey rink in Central Park. The most famous traveling team in the world played on ice for the first time in their 84-year history to play their greatest rivals, the Washington Generals.
I thought the Generals were due for a win in this one, but the Globetrotters extended their win streak over the Generals to 13,140 games with a 32-15 win.
Players for both teams wore ice cleats over …
Each week NBAtoday.net compiles a list of the top 10 rookies in the NBA. Leave a comment on your top rookies of the 2009-2010 season!
1. Tyreke Evans – A Memphis product, so is Derrick Rose. Who’s better? Evans, hands down.
2. Stephen Curry – Monta Ellis and Maggette are both hurt right now; Curry is expected to take 25-35 shots per game while they are out. That is NOT an exaggeration.
3. Brandon Jennings– Jennings is leading the troops to a 3-2 February record and just 1 game out of the 8th …
Bobcats 94, Wizards 92
It might be time for the Wizards to unload Antawn Jamison and Caron Bulter for whatever they can get for them. This team continues to lose close games and tonight was no different. Down 92-91 with less than a minute to play, Flip Murray of the Bobcats was able to drive to the hole and was fouled. He missed the first free throw but knocked down the second. After Jamison missed a lay up from point blank range, Raymond Felton his a fadeaway ten foot jumper over …
Back in college, while I was limping around the streets of Ewing, New Jersey running cross country and track, my boy JB (also my roomie!) decided he wanted to strap on his sneaks, and try out for our school basketball team. I can honestly say I’ve never seen someone work so hard to achieve something, and then actually do it. Seeing how hard he worked, motivated me to work hard in my own athletics.
But now I feel cheated, because I realized the secret to his success wasn’t lifting weights, shooting …
