Today, my first article went up on ProBasketballNews. I hope you go check out my thoughts on the Lakers. While you’re there, take a look around the site, they’ve got lots of great content.

The Sixers looked good in their win over Atalanta, 109-94. I have been very disappointed with the way they came out of the gates, but now they seem to be playing hard again. Guards are running to get on the offensive glass, their defense is swarming, they look like they will get back into the … Read more

The Miami Heat lost what was a close game, 86-76. The game was close for three quarters, but DWade and the Heat didn’t have enough gas in the tank. I noticed a lot of problems for this Heat team, funny to think how they’re in the playoffs in the East. While Wade was Wade, the … Read more

I have made my selections for the 2009 All-Star game. For the West: Amare Stoudemire, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Brandon Roy, and Al Jefferson.For the East: LeBron James, Danny Granger, Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, and Dwight Howard. I like Amare because he has played consistent ball in Phoenix and consistency is the biggest issue with … Read more

The Cavs pulled out a road win against the Oklahoma City Thunder, 102-91. Big whoop, they beat a terrible team. No, I thought the Thunder put up a good fight for three quarters. Both teams shot well, Cleveland is just better in 48 minutes. A lot of people feel that the Thunder are the laughing … Read more

The LA Lakers came up short, losing 106-103 to the Magic. The Lakers are not playing well on either end. On offense, it was basically Kobe and DFish. They combined for 68 points and were two of three players in double figures (Pau chipped in with 11). On defense, they allowed too many threes and … Read more

The Knicks pulled out a surprising win against Detroit 104-92. I was watching the first half of this game and I was thinking, what the hell is wrong with the Pistons? The Knicks were moving the ball around, getting open threes, layups, just blowing them out in the first half. I knew that in the … Read more

The Lakers took their first loss on the road, 118-117 to the Pacers. LA looked like they had them on their heels, ending the third on a 17-0 run. Then, the Pacers picked up some momentum and a couple minutes into the fourth Phil Jackson called timeout. Kobe and the rest of the starting five … Read more

The Washington Wizards fired their head coach Eddie Jordan, making them the second team to give someone the ax. I agree with this move, the Wizards have the same team they had last year, they’ve only lost Haywood and Arenas (who was out this time last year anyway). Haywood is a big part of their … Read more

The New York Knicks made two big deals yesterday. First, they traded Jamal Crawford to Golden State for Al Harrington. Then, they sent Zach Randolph to the LA Clippers for Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas. These aren’t really great basketball trades, but they’re still great trades. The Knicks have freed up some money to run … Read more
