The Old Man and Trevor Ariza Step Up in the Second Half for the Lakers, Take Contol of the Series

For the entire first half, Kobe Bryant was the only Laker that was contributing in a crucial Game Four, scoring 16 of the Lakers’ 27 points on his own. On the other end, veteran Derek Fisher was 0-for-5 from deep and Trevor Ariza was 0-for-4 from the field.

76ers Acquire a Much Needed Shooter From Toronto

It has been an active off-season for the Philadelphia 76ers. Just a week after introducing Eddie Jordan as their head coach, the Sixers have traded forward Reggie Evans to the Toronto Raptors for three-point shooting machine Jason Kapono.

Evans brings a good amount of toughness in the front court for the Raptors, and despite [...]

Lakers Defend Homecourt Thanks to Lee's Missed Lay-up

There were eight seconds to go in the ball game and the score was tied 88-88. The Lakers had just taken a timeout after Lamar Odom rebounded a Courtney Lee missed lay-up and they were set to get the ball into the hands of Kobe Bryant. They did so with the inbounds pass, and [...]

NBA Finals Preview: Disneyland vs Disneyworld

So instead of getting LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, we are getting Dwight Howard and Kobe. Not too bad I suppose. I actually prefer this match-up because I know that the Orlando Magic will give the Los Angeles Lakers more of a fight than the Cleveland Cavaliers would have.

The Orlando Magic are the [...]

Dwight Howard Carries Orlando Into the NBA Finals

There is a lot of good that happened in this contest. Dwight Howard absolutely dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers while leading his Orlando Magic to a 100-93 victory. We can talk about Michael Pietrus and the way that he outscored the entire Cleveland bench for the whole series. But instead of all of the glory [...]
