Utah 108, Atlanta 89 or where guarantees are thrown out the window
via www.thesunblog.com Box Score AP Recap Sekou's Blog: Where he gets progressively more upset in the comments. It would have been a close game, but if we only counted their wide open threes and dunks, I think Jazz still win by three. I don't care if a team has not one in a specific city...
Lakers 96 Atlanta 83 or where I waste 2 hours of my normal sleeping pattern
Box Score Game Recap Repeat after me: The Hawks were not suppose to win that game. The Hawks were not suppose to win that game. The Hawks were not suppose to win that game. I feel better already. A little reality check in the system is a good thing. Ok lets get to what the players had to...

What Happens in Atlanta...
(I went to Atlanta, and the Segways were taking over...)Perhaps Mike Bibby isn't done just yet. Last year, with both the Kings and Hawks, Bibby took fewer shots and suffered a precipitous decline in free throw attempts. Never a good defender or a particularly proficient assist guy, his failure to...
I Don't Think the Bobcats Will Have Cap Room in 2010
For anyone who thinks the Richardson trade is getting us sweet sweet cap room, it doesn't. We'll need to trade Diaw, somehow, in order to realize significant cap space, which might be more difficult than trading the far more talented Jason Richardson.Consider:-- The salary cap will be at about $61...

The whole book is a trip, from charts to text to the glorious illustrations. But the segment that, thus far, has spoken to me most clearly...
Philadelphia 76ers Sign Andre Iguodala to a New Deal

In the lead up to Boston and Atlanta's first round match up I wrote the following about Josh Childress: "Josh Childress is one of those guys that catches me off guard in the sense that he's playing in his 4th NBA season. I did not see that coming. He is athletic, a solid foul shooter (79% on his...
Marcus Camby Traded to LA Clippers
Just as I was about to go to bed I went over to NBA.com to find out about the new Celtics championship DVD. I'm not even trying to be obnoxious right now. And BOOM the Clippers acquired Marcus Camby. The running joke will definitely be that one of the worst defensive teams in the league just went...
