I'm not so sure this changed much, but it didn't help Denver in last night's shellacking at the hands of the Lakers.  Nene broke his arm in the fourth quarter.  I'll go ahead and make the joke… … hey Nene… if you didn't hack the crap out of everyone every chance you got, maybe you [...]

Just when you think the officiating in the NBA can't get any worse, the league has been forced to step in and fix calls after the fact.  Before these playoffs, I barely ever heard of the NBA rescinding or assessing technicals and flagrants the day after a game.  But now, it seems to be happening [...]

"I wish we would take more advantage of our height and the inside game, because it's pretty effective. It's unfortunate that we don't recognize it enough," Gasol said, according to the Daily News. "It's frustrating because we lose games," Gasol said, according to the report. "I don't mind when we win, because the bottom line [...]

Getty Images Yes, the Celtics are out fishing right now.  But they could soon be joined by the Lakers… and they'd have a hand in making that happen.  That's because the Nuggets are trying to use the blueprint the Celtics created for beating the Lakers. “Boston was so much more physical than they were,” Billups [...]

I never condone dirty play….unless it's directed at Kobe Bryant. Nuggets guard Dahntay Jones continues to take his cheap shots. Last night during the Nuggets Game 4 victory, he blatantly tripped Bryant as Kobe cut into the lane. Kobe went sliding into the lane and, here come the best part, there was no call! This [...]

One thing that's caught my attention in the conference finals (aside from the dramatic finishes and clutch shooting) is that LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are exhausted. LBJ had to be helped off the court after cramping up in Game 1. Kobe looked like he was going to pass out during last night's post game [...]

That’s first-team all defense in action right there. (Via TheHoopDoctors) [...]

This is just an awesome post from The Blowtorch Why am I a Lakers fan? I'll tell you. When I was a kid, my dad was, like, a HUGE Celtics fan. Like he made me watch all these games with him when I was growing up. He'd always talk about how great Larry Bird was [...]

We here at Issel's Army say there's no better way to express your Lakers hatred than one of these "Losers" Laker logo tees. A close second are the Anti-Kobe t-shirts (yes, I own one myself). Speaking of the vastly over-rated, Mr. Bryant. SI.com's Steve Aschburner wrote this great column a few weeks back proving Kobe [...]

We have two favorite teams here at RedsArmy.com:  The Boston Celtics, and whichever team is playing the Lakers.  Since our horse is out of the race, we're throwing our Laker-hating weight behind the Denver Nuggets.  So for now, we're renaming the site "Issel's Army," after Denver Nuggets great Dan Issel. And what a great team this [...]
