As the college hoops begins the round of 64 on Thursday, the NBA had a very busy night on Wednesday. 11 games made up the NBA schedule on the 20th of March, 2013. The Heat are starting to show god-like qualities, as they not only won their 24th straight game on Wednesday, but they accomplished a small miracle by rallying down 27 points in the second half. In other NBA action, the Marc Gasol and Anthony Davis played tip-in the game-winner
How The Memphis Grizzlies Improved After Trading Rudy Gay
Trading a star core player from a contending team is not usually a popular move with a team’s fan base, but we’ve seen two such moves this season improve a pair of Western Conference contenders. The Oklahoma City Thunder have actually benefited from dealing James Harden to Houston, and the Memphis Grizzlies are 16-6 since trading forward Rudy Gay to Toronto in a three-team, six-player deal on Jan. 30, the latest victory coming on Marc Gasol’s tip-in at the end of
Tweet of the Night: Bill Simmons
On Monday, the Miami Heat’s ridiculous 23-game winning streak was the hot topic at hand, and rightfully so. It’s about time, though, that we start talking more about the Denver Nuggets. For much of the season, there was a clear-cut picture of who the top four teams in the Western Conference would be.

Sheridan: Heat’s streak to end in Boston? Give us a break, Kobe
Quite the night it was Wednesday in the NBA, from Miami reaching 20 consecutive wins to Denver reaching 10 in a row to Kobe spraining his ankle and then e-mailing his favorite national columnist to whine about what he claims was a dirty play by Dahntay Jones. So let’s look a little further into each of those items. _ Everyone is now looking at the Heat’s upcoming schedule (they are currently one game into a five-game road trip) and wondering if they
Kamenetzky: The Cali Report – Dwight’s return, Clips vs. Griz, Lee’s D, Boogie’s issues
Don’t look now, but the Lakers suddenly have what appears to be legitimate momentum on their side. That’s not to say they’ve morphed into the juggernaut many predicted back in October. Such talk would certainly be premature. But it’s safe to assume their surge has grabbed the attention of the entire league, much less the Pacific Division. The Golden State Warriors are now just two games ahead of the Lakers, a gap that doesn’t feel impossible to close. Were that the case,
Geltzeiler: Who needs Offensive Rebounds (Not Celtics and Spurs)
Fresh off my maiden voyage to the M.I.T. Sloan Sports Analytic Conference in Boston, I have been spending more time dissecting advanced stats. One of the important principles in using advanced stats to draw conclusions is to also know which stats don’t paint a complete picture. I have found that looking at some of these team stats can tell us a lot on why good teams are good and why certain teams overachieve and conversely underachieve. The San Antonio Spurs currently have the
Five Fast Facts From NBA Games 3.3.13
If you haven’t noticed, the NBA has been magnificent in filling the football void these past few Sundays. The first Sunday of March was no different. The nine games on the NBA schedule did not disappoint, as we saw many came down to the final few seconds. Kobe turned the clock back while LeBron made sure to remind everyone, especially the Knicks, that this is his time. Let’s take a quick look at what transpired in a frantic day around the
SH Blog: Grizzlies surge into Miami; Bynum may miss entire season; Kings to stay in Sacramento?
