Tweet of the Day: Mike Bresnahan

Metta World Peace apologized for what he called an "unfortunate" and "unintentional" elbow on Harden. "I hope he's OK," he said.

For anyone who hasn’t seen yet, here’s the video of what Metta World Peace did to James Harden. Although World Peace claimed it was accidental, I’m not too sure how much of that to believe. His elbow was clearly thrown violently, and he followed through with the smash. The issue is do we treat the situation differently because of his track record? This is not the first time World Peace has had his face on sports news for all

Tonight’s best game: Denver Nuggets at Orlando Magic

by

The Magic are pretty much locked in as the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference; but that doesn’t mean they have nothing to play for. Sitting two games behind the Atlanta Hawks with three games remaining, and leading the Knicks and Philadelphia by three games, one would assume they finish as the sixth seed, barring a a crazy turn of events. But the Magic need to not only prove to the world they can win without Dwight Howard, but to themselves. Howard

Nuggets clinch playoff berth; Jazz grab edge for No. 8 seed

by

It took awhile, but the Nuggets finally clinched the playoffs for the ninth consecutive season. But just because they are in, that doesn’t mean George Karl is about to rest his players. Quite the contrary actually; Following the win, Karl said “We have three games left, and we are going to try to win all three of them. There won’t be any rest going on here.” It only makes sense. The Nuggets still have a chance to catch the Mavericks (who lost

Tonight’s Best Game: Denver Nuggets at Phoenix

by

As we all saw coming, it looks as if the race for the last seeds in the West may very well come to the final game of the season. The benefits of winning this game vary for both teams, however. Denver (34-28), 1 1/2 games ahead of the Suns (33-30), could clinch a playoff berth with a win. They would seal the 7th seed, leaving the Utah Jazz (33-30) and Phoenix Suns to fight for the last spot. If the Suns win,

After 30 boards in 1st game vs. Spurs, Bynum's totaled 9 in past 2. Pop: "He humiliated us. Guys were fired up to play better against him."

In their previous matchup, when Bynum grabbed 30 rebounds as thee Lakers beat the Spurs, I was a bit confused, I must say. How could the Spurs, such a fundamentally sound team, let one player destroy them on the boards like that? Might I add, they also possess debatably the greatest power forward/center of all-time in Tim Duncan, who is still playing at a very high level. I was concerned, to say the least, of whether or not the

Now this will be a game to watch. Following a Lakers win without Kobe Bryant that snapped an 8-game winning streak for the Spurs, they returned to the Staples Center and returned fire, crushing them 112-91. Tony Parker had a field day on Ramon Sessions, scoring 29 points and dishing out 13 assists. The series returns to San Antonio, in a matchup we may very well see in the playoffs. Kobe is finally returning, and everyone knows how much

Stan and the Magic players talked about being happy with the effort tonight, but I think tonight was a bad sign for Orlando going forward.

It truly is a shame of how far the Magic seem to have fallen. Just when the city was given hope with Dwight planning on returning next year, he goes down with an injury and puts his post-season in jeopardy. Let’s face it, the Magic are just not a good team at all without Dwight, and without him in the playoffs, they are going to get mashed. I had high hopes for the Magic, especially considering I reside in

Who would have thought? The Knicks bring in Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, Amare Stoudemire, JR Smith, Baron Davis, and Mike Bibby, and who turns out to take the spotlight? Steve Novak. Although he’s not a nightly horse, he was an absolute monster tonight, shooting 8-10 from three-point range and scoring 25 points. Don’t get me wrong, JR Smith was also huge, shooting 7-10 from long range and scoring another 25 points, and the combination of Carmelo and Tyson scored
