When I posted ‘The Melo Hour’ I was happy and thrilled to put some of Bernard King’s highlight videos up. He played way before I could realize the difference between good and bad but watching some tape of him on the MSG Network, I felt it was my responsibility to share the knowledge.
So it got me thinking, why not do it more often. The history of the NBA is out there for our disposal. We have Youtube, Amazon, and other vendors to find …

This is a trade first uncovered by ESPN. This is a statement of opinion on the matter.
The Lakers, Nets, and Rockets complete a three team trade today sending Terrence Williams to Houston, Sasha Vujacic and two first round draft picks to New Jersey, and two second round picks and the draft rights of Houston’s Sergei Lishchuk to the Lakers.
As much as I hate Sasha, he joins Jordan Farmar, who is playing well for New Jersey (11 ppg & 5 apg) which adds depth to their limited bench. He …

Knicks 128, Mavericks 94
Wow.
I turned on this game with 5 minutes left in the game, and I have to say that the score I saw was the ABSOLUTE opposite of what I was expecting. Why would I think that? Well, maybe you’ll recall a massive beat down over a month ago in New York in which the Mavericks beat the Knicks by 50! So, naturally, I would expect the Mavericks, a team on a 13-game win streak and on their home floor, to win by 34, not the Knicks.
So what …

Pistons 99, Wizards 90
The Detroit Pistons finally snapped their 13-game losing streak by beating the Washington Wizards at the Verizon Center.  Charlie Villanueva led the Pistons with 23 points (5-6 from three point range) and 9 rebounds off the bench in a game where the Pistons played without Ben Gordon and Tayshaun Prince.  Rip Hamilton and Rodney Stuckey both added 19 points in the winning effort.  Antawn Jamison led the Wizards once again with 31 points and 10 rebounds.  Randy Foye, who received the starting nod over Earl Boykins, had …

For those of you who didn’t know, there were a few games on the NBA schedule on Thursday night before the ball dropped on 2009. Check out wrap-ups for each of these five games with a little addition to close out the decade!

Thunder 87, Jazz 86
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: Good teams find ways to win close games.
Did I just say the Thunder were a good team? I think I did. OKC won their fifth straight game on Thursday night, their longest such streak since the …
