Day 118 of 170: Mamba Makes It Four!

Posted by Erik on February 21st, 2011 filed in Author: Erik, NBA All-Star Weekend

The West all-stars defeat the East all-stars 148-143. As expected by most, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant led the West’s charge to victory. While Durant (34 points) was Kobe’s main “gunner,”  there was no question that the tactical command of the East’s destruction was in the hands of Bryant himself. Thanks to his 37-point, 14-rebound effort, [...]

Day 117 of 170: Worst. Product Placement. Ever.

Posted by Patrick on February 20th, 2011 filed in Author: Patrick, NBA All Star Weekend

Congrats to the 2011 Sprite NBA Slam Dunk winner Blake Griffin. Although his final dunk over the car “wasn’t the greatest dunk” in the words of Charles Barkley, he had some other great ones including hanging from the rim by his elbow (my arm hurts for him watching that). McGee’s only chance to win this [...]

Day 116 of 170: Rookies Repeat

Posted by Nels on February 19th, 2011 filed in Author: Nels, NBA All Star Weekend

Then it didn’t happen. And now things are even more complicated. Too much to handle. Perhaps Patrick wants to put himself through [...]

Day 115 of 170: Don’t Count Your MVPs Before They Hatch Line of the Night: The chants of M-V-P rained down like… well, like they have for the past 3 months in the United Center as Derrick Rose (2.36) led the Bulls over the Spurs with 42 points (18-28 from the field, 6-6 from the [...]

Day 114 of 170: Party with Dwight Howard and the Finest Females Hollywood has to Offer

Posted by Patrick on February 17th, 2011 filed in Author: Patrick, Injuries

Line of the Night: Kyle Lowry (2.74). The first man to get a LotN who I actually dropped in a league this season, Lowry scored 36 points against the Sixers, adding 6 threes and 7 assists in the loss. Aaron Brooks’ injury/attitude has definitely been a boon for Lowry, who has started all but 8 [...]

Day 113 of 170: We Pay You To Make Shots

Posted by Nels on February 16th, 2011 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, Phoenix Suns

And other notable quotes that may have come from the Phoenix Suns coaching staff or Carlos the Jackal. Line of the Night: Before the game, Suns assistant coach Igor Kokoskov told Channing Frye (2.20) “we pay you to make shots,” so he did. Now, I’m no professional basketball player, but I’m kind of thinking that’s [...]
