Stat-Watch – Mikki Moore Fan Club Edition

Most NBA executives would say that a team can’t win with Mikki Moore.
Ron Artest recently claimed that the Sacramento Kings couldn’t with without him.
Suprised? No. But Ron Artest’s crazy evidently extended to the court tonight, with his 29 point, 12 rebound, 3 assist, 4 steal, 2 block effort playing a big part in the Kings’ [...]

Stat-Watch: 8th Seed Edition

Leave it to Marcus Camby to approach a 5×5 and fall short in the points category. This is the first time all season that a player has approached this milestone without reaching 5 points.
Camby had 2 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks. Not a bad night, especially considering that the Nuggets [...]

DeAndre Jordan, Kevin Love, and the Eric Weddle Corollary

There’s a storm coming in basketball that has been brewing for quite some time. It originates from something far older than myself (or likely anyone else who will read this), but will take on a completely different level of significance in the coming years.

As a real-estate developer he has engaged in repeated racially discriminatory housing practices and as an [...]

The NFL Draft is only a few weeks away so its a good time to consider the Raiders’ draft outlook. They have the fourth pick in the draft and many analysts are projecting the team to draft Arkansas running back Darren McFadden.

However, with the emergence of Justin Fargas and the current stable of backups (Michael [...]

NBA Coach of the Year Notes

Its a good problem, no doubt, but there are a lot of great candidates for NBA Coach of the Year. In no particular order:

1. Byron Scott: He’s done a lot with this team, which had just 18 wins when he took over. They are challenging for the best record in the West and have [...]

Stat-Watch – steppin’ it up

Two players stepped up their overall game tonight: Lamar Odom and Marcus Camby. Their efforts to help their teams maintain playoff seeding or gain a playoff berth also approached the 5×5 status:
Marcus Camby had 5 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 7 blocks, while
Lamar Odom went for 23 points, 21 rebounds, 5 [...]

I have a hunch…

Looking at the schedules a bit, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Bulls make a run at this.
At first glance, their schedule seems somewhat tough (for the East), but there are a few factors which go majorly in their favor:
1. Addition by subtraction- I think they can still gel
2. Closeness in the standings-
3. The schedule- [...]
