Although there were two fairly large deals yesterday, the one deal that would have trumped both was denied by the team receiving the offer. According to reports, the Boston Celtics offered Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen to the Detroit Pistons for Rodney Stuckey, Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince. Some initial reactions were negative, which [...] If there is any trouble in paradise this off-season, it is the possible departure of star forwards Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza. Due to disastrous contracts for Sasha Vujacic ($5 million) and Adam Morrison ($5.3 million), the Lakers may only be able to keep one of them. Odom brings something very special to the [...] It is hard to put into words how effective and important that Kobe Bryant was to the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl said it best when he summarizing Kobe’s amazing run at the end of the first half. “No. 24 had a great five minutes at the end of [...] It’s an elimination game for the Denver Nuggets, so their confidence and emotions are already shot.

That was pretty much the story for game one of the Denver Nuggets-New Orleans Hornets series that kicked off last night with a 113-84 Nuggets’ victory.
