New Year Means New Faces

This 6’8, 31 year-old Josh Davis guy for Memphis, on a NBA roster for the first time since 05/06, scored 10 points Sunday night in 40 point loss to the Bulls.  He and Sam Young led the Grizzlies in scoring. Anyway, Josh kinda looks like Ross the Intern, formerly of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.     [...]

The Most Fascinating Case of Zach Randolph

Much has been said and written about Zach Randolph lately, and for good reason.  He is arguably the best player on a team that disposed of the top-seeded Spurs and then split the first two games against Oklahoma City, on the road, while looking nothing like an eighth seed.  Take the images of Dikembe Mutombo [...]

2010-11 NBA Playoffs Recap, Day 12: Breakfast, Backcourt & Zombies

Philadelphia 76ers 91 – Miami Heat 97 Andre Iguodala finally has a good game and the Sixers lose. It was a [...]

2010-11 NBA Playoffs Recap: Day 11, Black Socks And Beatdowns.

Last night was, in a way, disappointing. Maybe I’m a bit spoiled from the incredible action the playoffs has given us already? As Sebastian Pruiti pointed out to me on twitter, last night was the first time in 9 straight days that we didn’t experience wire-to-wire excitement, and that’s something we should all be willing to live [...]
