Pacers 99, Bobcats 94
I honestly cannot remember the last time I did a recap that had the Pacers winning a game so I decided to cover this game tonight.  With Gerald Wallace of the Bobcats out with an ankle sprain the Pacers did just enough to win.  The Pacers capitalized in Wallace’s absence by scoring thirty-two points in the second quarter.  Danny Granger led the Pacers with 26 points (9-25 from the field) and Troy Murphy had 16 points and 13 rebounds.  Mike Dunleavy had 15 points off the bench …

Lakers 102, Suns 96
Show of hands: how many people here thought the Lakers were washed up and falling fast after their three-game losing streak last week?  Ok, now how many people here hate the Lakers?
Yeah, I’d bet it was the same people keeping their hands up for both, and boy are they disappointed; because the Lakers are focused and back on track after a big road win against the Suns.
Guess who stepped up for the Lakers in their big road win. Who else, but Kobe (yes, I am going to …

Miami 100, Atlanta 94
In the comment section of my last power rankings, Shooter exclaimed Chicago to be the most inconsistent team in the league. I agree with him that they are inconsistent, but they are nowhere near the inconsistency of the Miami Heat.
I understand that Dwyane Wade has been out for 4 straight games and the Heat didn’t win any of those games (big surprise), but even when he is in the lineup, I have no idea what team will show up. They beat the Lakers already this week and …

Thundercats 113, Kings 107
Kevin Durant is dirty, it is as simple as that.  Durant his thirteen of his twenty-six shots and was a perfect twelve for twelve from the line finishing with a game high 39 points.  Russell Westbrook did not play too bad either.  Westbrook put up 30 points of his own while adding 13 assists.  This was a game the Thunder were expected to win if they expect to make it to the playoffs, and they did just that.  Tyreke Evans did what he could scoring 27 points …

Cavs 105, Hornets 95
Newly acquired Cavalier Antawn Jamison scored 18 points while LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal both put in 20 points as the Cavs snap their losing streak at three games.  LeBron also added 13 assists as the Cavs survived a forty point quarter by the New Orleans Hornets.  Rookie, Marcus Thornton, had 23 of his career high 37 points in that second quarter.  Thornton scored all but four of the Hornets points off the bench.  The Hornets are finding out that they have a solid back up point …

Bobcats 110, Cavaliers 93
Where do I start?
First off, the Cavs lost their second straight game after winning 13 in a row. Secondly, Antawn Jamison made his highly anticipated debut for Cleveland – and he stunk, big time.
Jamison came off the bench to shoot 0-12 from the field. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, zero field goals in 12 attempts! He had five shots BLOCKED and two of his shots were AIRBALLS! His only two points came with 41 seconds left when he hit two free throws. I’m sure he’ll make up …

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 …
