by Pat Sullivan - AP View full size photo » As readers of this site know, I'm (often too) focused on results, numbers, production when it comes to basketball and the Kings . I'd rather have a Rashad McCants than a Mikki Moore, a D-League question mark than a Desmond Mason , a successful play rather than a smart but failed play. David Eckstein is a curse word in my household (for multiple reasons),...
"That guy belongs in the NBA," Nelson said. "Hopefully we find a way to keep him. He’s stronger than anybody I have at that position." What's that, Don Nelson? You say Chris Hunter is better than Mikki Moore? Well that's...actually not all that controversial. Hunter finished with four points, three rebounds, a steal and a block in 14 minutes and started the second half for...
I'm really starting to wonder. It's been a strange first fourteen games in Portland this season. We've had success overall, but against who? A lot of terrible teams. The Blazers have played well below what they are capable of achieving. Luckily those bad games against bad teams ended up as wins. But tonight? All the glaring weaknesses - from coaching to execution - were fully magnified. What the Hell...
Golden State Warriors coverage at Fear the Beard . Blazers Analysis Warriors PG Andre Miller has been a bit inconsistent lately. Some days he's scoring, others he's dishing out the assists. Tonight he'll be matched up against a solid young rookie in Stephen Curry. Curry has averaged just under 14 points and 5 assists per game in his last 3 games. His size and ability to play point makes him a tough...
at Orlando Magic (9-3) at Boston Celtics (9-3) Friday, November 20 8:00 PM ET Game #13, Home Game #7 TV: ESPN, SunSpO, CSN HD, RTV Radio: WDBO, WEEI TD Garden Referees: Eddie F Rush, Tony Brothers, Eric Dallen This is the first meeting of these two teams since the Celtics were eliminated by the Magic in 7 games in last year's playoff semi-finals. I am sure the Celtics would like to get even for that...
Elise Amendola / Associated Press Our long regional nightmare is over! After a five-game local losing streak, the Celtics - finally, eventually - shook off the civic torpor and wound up blasting the Golden State Warriors 109-95. Not that it was as easy as the 14-point win sounded. Golden State (a) isn't a very good team, (b) is at the end of a long road trip, and (c) had only eight healthy players....
This makes me think of how different the make up of the NBA would be right now if we would have gotten Garnett instead of the Celtics. They would still be really bad most likely. Oh well, Cs by 24. Celtics are going stomp us. I know we played Cleveland tough but this team with all the injuries will just be too tired to keep up. Clovers vs Motley Crew BOSTON MASSACRE I'm calling a win. Celtics have...

Tonight I expect one of the weakest performance from GSW team. I was waiting quite a while but now team line up seems to be obvious, and it's obvious that they are seriously wekaned by injuries or conflicts inside the team. Big guns will be out and I think we won't see so many points tonight which makes this bet a big value. First of all players like Jackson, Ellis, Watson, Azubuike who scored for...
Box Score / R ecap My twenty years as a Bucks fan have been, at least superficially, a disappointment. Too many 50-loss seasons ending in mid-April. Disappointing draft picks and bloated contracts. "Stars" that don't shine as bright as every other team's stars. Coaches that talk a good game but can't seem to coach one. So if you're a recent convert or a casual fan, understand where I'm coming...

Saying he wants to honor those who have gone before him, Orlando Magic center Adonal Foyle announced today that he will no longer wear number 31 in memory of Portland Trail Blazers' legend player Sam Bowie. “When I think of Sam Bowie, I think of a guy like me – someone who was drafted high but never was able to fully demonstrate his gifts to the world,” Foyle told reporters in a Taco...
The Warriors are better than two teams in the Western Conference: the Grizzlies and the T'Wolves. The Warriors played a great game against an awful team. It was like watching a gang jump a nerd, as eight Warriors reached double figures in scoring. It was nice to see the Warriors dispense a beat-down rather than absorb one. Easy-to-please Warriors fans at Oracle cheered on their team, specifically former...
