Jeremy Lin had a nice week, to put it mildly. Nobody in New York talks about Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire anymore. So they Knicks are biggest risers in this week’s rankings, right? Wrong. (The Mavericks and Rockets are). Let’s see how Lin’s game works when the max-paid ball stopper and Mr. Apostrophe return. I’m all for the Linsanity, and Friday night was the first time in eons Kobe didn’t receive the most adulation in his annual visit to MSG. But let’s not get
Fantasy freeroll tonight; Choose wisely
We are running another free fantasy basketball contest tonight ($350 prize pool), and with 24 NBA teams in action there will be plenty of players to select from. A piece of advice. Choose wisely. I made one bad choice last night in a tournament, and it cost me a chance to finish in the money. I have been playing fantasy hoops for 15 years, the type of league in which you pick a team at a live auction, then spend the season trying to
Weekend preview, Linsanity, and All-Star snubs and selections
csprtContainer(); Who was snubbed when the NBA All-Star reserves were selected? How intense is Linsanity in New York? What is the best game of the weekend, and why? CineSport’s Brian Clark and Chris Sheridan of SheridanHoops.com discuss.
Linsanity effect: Knicks ticket prices skyrocketing
NEW YORK — Linsanity has carried over to the secondary ticket market. The Los Angeles Lakers are making their annual visit to Madison Square Garden this evening, and people trying to score tickets have a different motivation than usual this time around. Instead of paying premium prices to see Kobe Bryant, they are forking over extra dough to see Jeremy Lin (whose popularity is probably about third right now among New York athletes, training only Eli Manning and Derek Jeter.) Since Tuesday, when
All-Star snubs: A.Varejao, R.Allen, B.Jennings, P.Millsap, M.Ellis, K.Lowry
Dirk? Apparently, the Western Conference coaches chose this year’s All-Star reserves based upon last year’s accomplishments. The 14 All-Star reserves were announced tonight on TNT, and there were a couple of surprises. None was bigger than the selection of Nowitzki, who is averaging the lowest numbers since his sophomore season. His points per game (17.6) are down 5.4 from last season, his field-goal percentage has dropped from.517 to .461, and whose 3-point percentage has nosedived from .393 to .211. He even acknowledged recently
Magic beat Heat after Orlando owner speaks on Dwight Howard
It is very rare to see the Miami Heat lose. It is even more rare to hear Rich DeVos speak. Both happened last night in Orlando, where the Dwight Howard trade situation again took center stage in what has been a circus of a season for the Magic. In a nutshell, DeVos doesn’t want to trade Howard, and the Orlando owner revealed that he has told Howard the grass is not always greener on the other side — although he did not rule
Magic owner Rich DeVos on Dwight Howard: “I don’t want to trade him”
I have been saying this over and over again when asked on radio shows and in video appearances what I expect to happen with Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic. Time and again, I have come back to one key point: The fate of Howard, for this season anyway, rests in the hands of 85-year-old owner Magic owner Rich DeVos. I am not 85, but I would imagine that when you are 85, you know the clock is ticking. You are not interested
Sheridan: Kevin Love for MVP? It’s a valid argument
Over to your right is a poll we are running, asking our readers to vote for who they believe is the most worthy MVP candidate at this point of the season. I have already cast my vote, choosing “other.” Forgive me for not genuflecting to the superstars on that list: LeBron James, Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant. They are all worthy candidates — there is no arguing that. But none of them has turned around his team the way Kevin Love
