Five Fast Facts from NBA Games: 2.24.13
While most of the world was watching “Argo” win best picture at the 85th Annual Academy Awards, nine games were on the NBA schedule. The Knicks and Warriors gave their fans a break from their “Les Miserables” recent struggles with wins, the Heat completed another fourth quarter comeback from their “Silver Linings Playbook” to defeat the Cavaliers again and the Thunder continued their “Life of Pi” with a dynamic defensive performance against the Bulls. In honor of Tony Mendez, we present Sunday’s
Sheridan Hoops MVP Rankings After Week 17
The career triple-double count is now up to 35 (including seven with the Heat). The road record is now 16-11 to get out of the shabby zone. The lead in the Eastern Conference is up to 5 1/2 games. The winning streak is at 10 and counting. Put it all together, and LeBron James is pulling away in the MVP race for a Miami Heat team that is finally playing with the pedigree, pride and determination befitting the defending NBA champions.

Fantasy Spin: Wizards Win Again; Hobbled LeBron Triple-Doubles
Sure, LeBron James had a triple-double on one good leg, but the top fantasy basketball story is Chris Sheridan finishing 12th out of 18 in the $22 Challenge. Thinking the Pistons might show up to defend their home court, he used two potential bargains — Jason Maxiell and Viacheslav Kravtsov — who did very little. “PrincessDuckling” won the $180 first prize, “tommyboy42609” earned $112 for second and “mr92,” the only person who doubled his chances of winning by entering two

Perkins: LeBron James, for now, deserves fourth MVP

Hubbard: NBA All-Star Week — Just Go With It
If you’re looking for a way to capture the quality of NBA All-Star Week, think Adam Sandler movies. They are meant to be entertaining. They are hectic, foolish and sometimes embarrassing. The critics hate them. And the fans love them. Take a look at the web site Rottentomatoes.com and find Adam Sandler movies, whether it’s as a writer, producer or star. By my count, 39 of them have been rated by critics. Of those 39, 34 of the reviews have been negative. Safe
Fantasy Spin: Wizards Upset Knicks; Garnett (27) Leads Celtics Comeback
We warned you — and the Knicks — that this might happen. John Wall (21 PTS, 9 AST, 5 REB) is all the way back, playing 39 minutes, and Martell Webster (19 PTS) hit five 3-pointers, but the big surprise was Trevor Ariza also knocking down five triples in his best game of the season — 20 PTS, 4 REB, 3 AST in 33 minutes off the bench.
