// After the Orlando Magic’s shameful performance Thursday night vs. Boston, in which they blew a 27-point lead, scored 25 points in the second half and lost to a severely shorthanded team, Jason Richardson said the team was developing a soft reputation. After Friday night’s debacle in New Orleans, coach Stan Van Gundy said it all. From Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel: “If this isn’t rock bottom, what is? The Orlando Magic completed a forgettable week Friday night, falling to the
Friday’s best game: New York at Miami
The three-star approach seems to be working for the Miami Heat. For the New York Knicks, not so much. The rivals meet Friday night in Miami, the best game on a schedule of 13. While the Heat may be getting back one of their stars, the Knicks will be without one of theirs. Miami’s lineup could include Dwyane Wade, who averaged 28 points vs. New York last season but has missed the last six games with a sprained left ankle. The Heat
Carmelo Anthony out for 2 games, Wade a game-time decision
The ankle, the wrist, the thumb … and the ego? Carmelo Anthony had an array of injuries, and he has decided to shut it down until next Tuesday when the Knicks return home from their four-game road trip and play the Detroit Pistons. Takes a little shine off tonight’s nationally televised matchup with the Heat in Miami, where the Knicks are 11-point underdogs. For Miami, Dwyane Wade participated in the team’s shootaround and is listed as a game-time decision. Wade has missed the past
Perkins: Heat’s halfcourt offense developing into a threat
MIAMI – Yes, they like to run more than they did a year ago. But when you watch the Miami Heat closely it becomes apparent that one of their biggest improvements from a year ago has been in halfcourt offense. There’s much less confusion and malaise, and much more of a crisply-run, definitive, attacking game. “We’ve put a great emphasis on getting out running and being a fast-break team and getting easy points,” forward LeBron James said. “But we know there are
Kravitz Fantasy Basketball Top 5 Players and Sleepers after Week 4
The random luck of picking league owner names out of a hat for draft positions has always been the bane of my fantasy basketball existence. Each year upon receiving the e-mail with the draft order results from one of my two leagues’ commissioners, you’ll typically read my team’s moniker, “Krewtime”, between sixth and ninth in either nine-team league. Lebron James was the first selection in both our 8-CAT and 9-CAT league drafts, and he’s more than lived up to that status.
Sheridan on Kevin Love’s contract, Eddy Curry and Mike Miller, and the weekend’s best games
The Miami Heat were impressive in their win over the Los Angeles Lakers. What’s ahead for Kevin Love and his contract situation? And what are the best upcoming NBA games? CineSport’s Brian Clark and SheridanHoops.com’s Chris Sheridan discuss. //
LeBron was sick, but so is his career record vs. Kobe
If Jeffrey Loria (owner of the Miami Marlins baseball team) comes down with a nasty cough and cold, we’ll know who to blame. None other than LeBron James, who took a sick day in the morning but was well enough in the evening to break the 30-point barrier for the eighth time this season, dropping 31 along with eight rebounds and eight assists in the Miami Heat’s 98-87 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Heat were the aggressors throughout the first
The Bernucca List – Edition VIII
Last week’s edition of The Bernucca List was the toughest to date, with the post going an entire day before Ali Black was credited with the correct answer, which requires a minor clarification. Black’s answer was “players with a higher scoring average than their father.” Technically, Ronnie Brewer does not (yet) have a higher scoring average than his father, Ron. Hat tip to Steve Lardner for pointing that out. Specifically, I was looking for “players better than their fathers,” which Ronnie Brewer
