So the winner in the Dwight Howard Derby is… Orlando? Dallas? We don’t know and now we won’t before June, 2013, with our big guy leaving more unsaid than said, as usual. If Howard’s heart, soul, spleen, liver and whatever else he listed are in Orlando, why exactly doesn’t he sign long-term so he won’t have to go through this next season, again? Yes, Dwight’s lovable but goofy, but the press may be missing an angle, or the real story—as usual–in the feeding frenzy
Will the Nets trade Deron Williams?
// Now that the New Jersey Nets know they have no shot at getting Dwight Howard, will they attempt to trade Deron Williams instead of being at risk of losing him with nothing in return when he opts out of his contract this summer? ESPN.com is reporting that the Nets would say no to a Pau Gasol-for-Williams swap, and a source told SheridanHoops.com that the only thing that would make the Nets move Williams would be a clear message from him
Heisler: D12, DWill Are Going … Nowhere
Counting down to… zip? If some players may go every which way by the trade deadline, they’re not likely to include any Dwight Howards, Deron Williams or even Pau Gasols. All three are, indeed, in play, but their destinations are a lot likelier to be revealed in June, no matter how much pure unadulterated BS you hear between now and March 15. Hey, it’s better than waiting to see if Ric Bucher thinks the Lakers should trade Kobe Bryant, the Bulls should trade
Biyombo outplays Howard as Magic lose to lowly Bobcats
If you are Orlando Magic owner Rich DeVos, what are you thinking as you wake up this morning? For one thing, you’ve got to be grateful to be walking the earth for another day, still having your wits about you. But on the other hand, your team just had its most embarrassing loss of the season, your coach sounds apoplectic, your superstar’s intentions are unclear, and there is no way in hell you can convince yourself that your team is capable of
Game of the night: New York at Dallas
Since the All-Star break, the New York Knicks have played two games in the span of eight days. The extra time off and subsequent practice time for the revamped roster hopefully will be a benefit as they visit the weary Dallas Mavericks in Tuesday’s best NBA game. The Mavericks (22-17) are coming off a controversial loss Monday night at Oklahoma City. Playing their fourth game in five nights will present a challenge as they are just 3-3 at home against Eastern
Thunder uses D to beat Big D; Love manhandles Clippers; Bulls bomb Pacers
As dominant as the Oklahoma City Thunder have been this season, they seem to get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to late controversial calls. The Thunder trailed by a point with 46 seconds remaining Tuesday night when Dallas center Ian Mahinmi appeared to cleanly block Serge Ibaka’s shot, but the whistle was blown for a foul, much to the dismay of Mahinmi and Rick Carlisle. Ibaka made both free throw attempts and the Thunder never looked back as they
Game of the night: Dallas at Oklahoma City
Even if Dirk Nowitzki is feeling as good as he did against the Jazz on Saturday when he scored a season high 40 points in just under 29 minutes, defeating the best home team in the league will be a tall task for the Dallas Mavericks. Nowitzki and the Mavericks (22-16) visit Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder (29-8) for their final meeting this season in Monday night’s best game. The Thunder has won two of the three meetings this season
Hubbard: Mavericks hoping Odom is all in
The world champion Dallas Mavericks lost a game Friday night to a team that included starters Gustavo Ayon, Al-Farouq Aminu and Marco Belinelli, who sound more like 16th century explorers than fine basketball players. Chris Kaman and Jarrett Jack rounded out the starting lineup. Suffice to say no one was comparing the New Orleans Hornets to the ’86 Boston Celtics. The Mavericks season of transition to the future while attempting to compete for a second consecutive title has been uneven, to be nice,
