The Dwight Howard trade chatter has died down over the past couple weeks, with most of the NBA believing the Orlando Magic will wait until the March 15 trade deadline to decide what to do with their soon-to-be-unrestricted free agent franchise center. But there is a piece of news out of the Bay Area this morning that should jump-start the rumor mill. Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle says the Golden State Warriors are going to be aggressive in trying to
Fantasy Spin: Monday Feb. 13
It’s my pleasure to be joining Team Sheridan with a daily look at fantasy hoops. The proud owner of Jeremy Lin and Nikola Pekovic in a competitive 20-team league, my specialty is picking up free agents before they get good. Statistics are useful, of course, but they are available to everyone. Other tidbits of information (injuries and rotation shuffles) can be even more valuable in making your roster decisions. The advice dispensed here is rarely going to concern superstars, or consistent
Durant does it again for Thunder; Paul Pierce passes Larry Bird on Celtics scoring list
The Thunder have found a knack for finishing off close games, as true championship contenders do, thanks to MVP candidate Kevin Durant. (Have you voted yet in that MVP poll to your right?)

Russell Westbrook also had a
The Bernucca List – Edition VIII

Hat tip to Steve Lardner for pointing that out. Specifically, I was looking for “players better than their fathers,” which Ronnie Brewer
Utah wins at Denver, joins two-thirds club
Prior to last night, nine of the 30 NBA teams had won at least two-thirds of their games. Now, there are 10. Welcome to the club, Paul Millsap and the Utah Jazz. When you think of players who can reel off 14 consecutive fourth-quarter points for their team in the hick of a tight contest, certain names come to mind: Kobe, D-Wade, LeBron, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Dirk Nowitzki. It is what they do and what they’ve done, which is why all of them
Fantasy Spin: Wednesday, Jan. 4th
Highlight Performances: Monta Ellis, GS– If you spent an early round selection on Monta Ellis, well then, feel free to brag. Ellis scored 38 points tonight, along with 7 assists. But the key here is with Stephen Curry out indefinitely after re-injuring his ankle, Ellis figures to see a heavy dose of scoring opportunities until further notice. Move him up on your cheat sheets, and consider 25 points a game a distinct possibility. Jrue Holiday, PHI– Holiday scored 23 points in Wednesday
