Antawn Jamison Heading to the Cavs

Antawn Jamison better be photogenic because he is joining LeBron James and his amazing photography skills in Cleveland.  Jamison is that piece that Cavs have been missing to make it to the NBA Finals and be victorious, or that’s the thought at least.  Jamison is a very skilled 6-8 power forward who can also take man outside and shoot the J or dribble drive by him.  Jamison for his career averages 19.9 ppg and 8.1 rpg.  He will definitely help out the Cavs who now have another option, outside of …

Nate Robinson Dunks His Way to Celtics

Looks like Nate Robinson can join the other Celtics that impressed on All-Star Saturday Night…
Nate the Great (?) has been traded to the Boston Celtics in a deal first reported by our boy JB. The Knicks reportedly will recieve Eddie House and a second round pick. This trade should be finalized sometime in the next 24 hours, so don’t be confused by the speculation.

Apparently the Celtics are really high on Nate, who had the option of not being traded I heard. This came out after the Grizzlies expressed interest …

Jazz Stay Hott, Lakers Win Without Kobe, Roy Makes Return

Jazz 104, Rockets 95
The Jazz continue to impress out of the gates for the last third of the season.  They didn’t waver over the 4 day break and they came out shooting 50% from the field on the Rockets’ home floor.  Deron Williams, Skills Challenge runner up, dished out 15 assists while Paul  Millsap came off the bench to drop 20 and snag 12 boards (he must have read my underachieving post).
The Rockets continue to slide and are now 27-25.  Maybe once they trade McGrady and get some new pieces …

Nets Win Number 5, Wade Continues Great Play, New Look Mavs Lose, Plus More!

Nets 103, Bobcats 94

I watched this game, and the Sixers’ game at the same time. After about one quarter, I proclaimed to myself that, “The Nets are going to WIN this game.” I could just tell by the way they were playing, that they were going to hold off the Bobcats. It almost seemed like Charlotte was still on vacation, while the Nets came in hungry as if this new half of the season is a clean slate. Of the Nets’ five wins, two of them come against the Bobbies, …

News and Rumors: Camby to Portland

It’s been reported that Marcus Camby to the Blazers for Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw (who is expected back in March) and cash is all but a done deal.  Until it is officially signed by both teams and approved by David Stern this is obviously still a rumor but Outlaw’s agent basically confirmed that both teams agreed on the deal and the final step is sending it in for the final OK.
This is a blockbuster trade!  It may not have those huge blockbuster names involved but this trade could really put Portland in …

What to Watch for: Feb 15 – 21

The All-Star break has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to look forward to in the second half… the playoffs are coming! But before that, we have the trading deadline, which comes on Thursday of this week. Who knows what will happen, but I’m ready!

Monday
No games scheduled – use that time to watch my boys #1 Kansas play #23 Texas Tech on ESPN,(Kansas!).
Tuesday
Suns @ Grizzlies – Welcome back to the second half… great matchup here! I wonder if Amare Stoudemire will even be on the team for this …
