Could the non-playoff All Stars win it all?
Random thought, I know, but it is one that is fun to contimplate none the less. What if you were to make an All-Star team in each conference made up solely of players who did not make the postseason. Now, take that team and give them a three day training camp to work out some […]

Mavericks steamroll Hornets in second half in possible playoff preview
Both teams played hard. I know that sounds like a backhanded compliment, but there are 15 games scheduled tonight and this might be the only one in which both teams went after the victory with 100% intensity (at least for one half). Unfortunately for the Hornets, they were unable to come out on top due […]

Well the Hornets are down to one game, so they are sure to be focusing on what it’s implications will be. […]

Jazz Shut Down the Hornets
The Jazz beat the Hornets behind a balanced attack that saw all five starters score in double figures. The Hornets loss came despite Chris Paul scoring basketball points (incredible, I know) and… and……….. Oh, that was it. Nobody else really showed up. Even Paul’s game was subpar. After a first half that saw the Hornets […]

The Grizzlies shrugged off the Hornets
In a repeat of the last game between these two teams, the Grizzlies simply outmuscled the Hornets all game long. The Memphis bigs fought their way to superior position, and when they were rarely stymied, Grizzly wing players simply muscled their way to the basket and hit an array of sometimes easy, sometimes stupid shots […]
