I will say, the Cavaliers had a very successful draft. Tristan Thompson is slowly shaping out to be a very solid big man, and Kyrie Irving is the can’t-miss point guard that made him to be the first overall pick in this years draft. The Cavaliers took a big step forward this year, as they should have having the first and fourth overall pick in the 2011 draft. Although they sit at 17-26 on the season, they have made

Masked men of Los Angeles make for interesting Sunday

by

Unless you caught the second-game of the day-night doubleheader at the Staples Center, you might not be aware that a second masked man is playing there, a masked man named Chris Paul whose Los Angeles Clippers just dropped into second place in the Pacific Division. Yes, Paul, Blake Griffin and Lob City are no longer perched atop Tinseltown. First place in the division is now back in the hands of Kobe Bryant, the guy who called the game-clinching play in the huddle Sunday

Sunday’s NBA Post-Game Notes

by

The Knicks have now lost five straight, falling to 18-23. Metta World Peace is the Lakers worst shooter, shooting a paltry 35% on the season. Kyle Lowry has been hospitalized with abdominal distress and fever since last week. According to the Associated Press, Kyrie Irving was saddened after hearing of Ricky Rubio’s injury, saying “It’s tragic. He was my nemesis — me vs. him at times. I’m used to seeing his stats every single night, seeing how many points and assists he had.” Dwight Howard

Atlanta ends Thunder’s winning streak; Kevin Love scores 42 in win over Blazers

by

When Josh Smith is in the right frame of mind, meaning attack the basket and not settling for perimeter shots, the Atlanta Hawks are a difficult team to beat. In fact, when Smith scores at least 20 points, the team is undefeated. They improved to 11-0 in such situations as Smith scored 30 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder — the team with the NBA’s best record coming into the game — 97-90 Saturday night. It was an

Fantasy Spin: Saturday Mar. 3

by

As much as I enjoy fantasy hoops, the real games are way more interesting. The Heat had won nine in a row by 10 points or more, but lost to the fired-up Jazz. With Chris Bosh away for a funeral, Shane Battier was an effective fill-in starter, notching 18 points on 6-7 shooting, with four blocked shots. Paul Millsap was back for Utah, Al Jefferson was stellar and the bench was very helpful: another good game from C.J. Miles, with

The first pick and the last pick in the 2011 NBA draft were named Rookies of the Month for February, the league announced Thursday.

Not entirely sure what your referring to here, Iman, but what I do know is that the Knicks looked phenomenal tonight against the Cavs. I also understand that Kyrie played good, not great, and Iman played quite solid off the bench with 12 points and 3 steals. The Knicks completely showed up the Cavs tonight at home, and Steve Novak just made a serious name for himself. It’s actually not crazy to say he stole the spotlight from Jeremy
