Sorry y'all, can't watch the game tonight. Something more serious weighing on my mind right now. Just kidding! Y'all know where my heart lies. It's Paul Westphal you need to crack. (SPOILER ALERT! Donte Greene started Tuesday.) THE OPPONENT For all the bouquets Phoenix (10-3) has been bestowed with, Dallas (9-3) has been just as surprisingly good. Don't forget that Josh Howard has (basically) missed...

The people who run bad NBA teams watch the good teams and think: If I had those players, everyone would think I was a genius. Sometimes, though, they did have those players . As it happens, the NBA's best rosters -- the success stories like the Lakers, Celtics, Mavericks, Suns, Rockets and the like -- give heavy...

I love how Matt Caroll rocks the headband while he's on the bench. Shawn Marion played much better defense on Kobe Bryant than Quentin Ross.

Here's what I don't understand. Mark Cuban is a smart guy. Erick Dampier is their starting center, 5 years and counting. The two should be polar opposites.

Case in point, the referees had to intervene and give the Heat the championship...

One can read as Bryan Colangelo 's "single greatest masterstroke achieved by a Raptors general manager" (Doug Smith, Toronto Star ) as something which might keep Chris Bosh home. (One wonders if it really works this way, but if Roy Halladay leaves the Blue Jays, how much more important...
