This week has brought us some terrific hoops, story lines, and heartbreaking truths. That last one is for Knicks and Portland fans.
Trailblazer lovers have more of a reason to be upset as they will bare witness the slow but tragic fall of Brandon Roy. It won’t be immediate, but when the man plays the game of basketball with bone on bone friction, only bad things will happen. His speed will break down , he won’t be able to elevate to make his patented pull up jumper, …

Lakers 104, Jazz 99 (Lakers lead 1-0)

Going into Game 1 of this series, some felt the emotionally draining close out game the Lakers won on Friday in OKC could result in a first game upset at the Staples Center. Close, but no cigar, Utah. The Lakers came out to a demanding lead, which the Jazz fought back to take back. But the Lakers once again showed us that hustle and determination is still not enough to beat their core superstars in the end.
It only took 20 seconds and we were …

Jazz 114, Nuggets 111 (Series tied 1-1)
Please excuse the length of this recap.  Most of the writers here at NBAtoday.net also play on an adult basketball league called the EMUs.  Down late in the game, our team pulled out an exciting double over time win, leaving yours truly exhausted.

Bucks 98, Pacers 94
Don’t look now, but the Bucks have another winning streak going.  Tonight they did just enough to win as they edged out the dismal Pacers 98 to 94.  Jerry Stackhouse led the Bucks with twenty points off the bench.  Andrew Bogut scored himself another double-double putting in 18 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.  Rookie Brandon Jennings had a stat-filler type  with 8 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals.  There is not much left to say about the Pacers who fell to 7-29 on the road …

What is the point of doing wrap ups tonight? Half of the teams didn’t even show up. Hey, somebody’s gotta do it.
Well here we go…
Cleveland 124, New York 93
Well, this game was over during warm ups, seriously, New York, why even show up. You give up 38 points in the first and then follow that up with 36 in the 2nd. Stellar work gentlemen, you make me proud to support such a solid group of guys. You allow everybody that gets into the game to …

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 …
