Ronnie Brewer hops up from where he’s posted at the scorer’s table about an hour before tip-off against the Phoenix Suns. “I’ll be back,” said Brewer. “Gotta get some shots up.” The shooting guard runs across the court and finds New York’s shooting guru, Dave Hopla, for a pre-game workout.

Rubio Back At Practice; Magic Shocks Lakers By Hacking Howard
It won’t be long until Ricky Rubio is back, flinging passes through his legs and behind his back to astonished teammates. Rubio is way ahead of schedule (we were guessing Christmas) in his recovery from knee surgery, and took part in the T-Wolves’ practice on Sunday. Decimated by knee injuries to Chase Budinger and Brandon Roy, with Andrei Kirilenko (back) day-to-day, the team can use any healthy body. While it may take some time before the flashy Spaniard plays a game,

Spurs “B Team” Scares Heat; Win $1,000 Cash Tonight
When the news broke that four of the five San Antonio starters were getting the night off, fantasy owners of Tim Duncan and Tony Parker were disappointed, and it really hurt to get a zero from Manu Ginobili after his 20-point explosion the night before. Appearing to concede a game on national TV is unusual optics, and Commissioner Stern promised “substantial sanctions” before they even started to play. Get the whole story from our Chris Bernucca.

Billups Back; Rondo Ejected; Wizards Finally Win
It’s the same old Spurs. When Kawhi Leonard went down, then Stephen Jackson got hurt, I thought Danny Green would become a fantasy star for at least a couple of weeks. It hasn’t worked out that way. Instead, the veteran stars have stepped up their games. Tim Duncan outscored Nikola Vucevic 13-0 by halftime and Tony Parker (14 PTS, 8 AST) was needed for less than 30 minutes. Manu Ginobili was brilliant as the sixth man, hitting 6-of-9, all from 3-point
LeBron James reclaims top spot in jersey sales
Has LeBron James rid himself of his image as a villain? Jersey sales would certainly suggest that. The NBA released the top 15 selling jerseys from April through Cyber Monday, and James has reclaimed the top spot. James last had the top-selling jersey in April 2011, less than a year after he joined the Miami Heat via “The Decision” and before his poor performance in the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks.

Hornets Sting Clippers; Nets Win Battle of NYC
The biggest upset of the season? The Hornets, coming off a lopsided loss the night before (their seventh straight defeat) and at the end of four road games in six nights, had ‘no chance’ against the mighty Clippers. [Read more…]
SH Blog: Knicks, Nets set to collide at Barclays tonight
BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Hyped and magnified. As the New York Knickerbockers and the Brooklyn Nets get set for their showdown tonight at the Barclays Center, they’re surely aware the meaning of this game transcends the sport; the first matchup in what will surely be a long rivalry has all the ingredients to be a dandy: 1. Two good teams: Instead of an uncertain opening night tilt on October 29th, we have teams who we know have confidence in themselves as they head toward
