We saw two plays last night that are guaranteed to be on the 2010-11 NBA highlight reel.  So which one was better?   First up:  Steve Nash, Marcin Gortat, and Channing Frye combine in the second of three overtimes versus the Lakers: Or is it JaVale McGee who not only blocks Wesley Matthews' dunk attempt… [...]

  Let me say up front that I'm not basing my argument entirely on how the Wizards defended Rajon Rondo… because they're pretty terrible defensively.  But they do provide a couple of examples of the reaction to Rajon Rondo attacking the basket. The "book" on Rondo says he will pass… a lot… even when he's [...]

We just posted Paul Pierce's steal and poster on Lou Williams… which serves as a shining example of how to bear down on D, hustle, and then finish off the break so as to energize your team and home crowd.  … and now, by contrast, I present Andray Blatche's interpretation of a similar play   [...]

  You know… I've seen guys take less contact on a flagrant foul.  Semih took a straight left right to the face…. and his face was nowhere near the ball.  Just sayin'… [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “This team gave us problems last year, and we haven’t forgotten that — I haven’t forgotten that,’’ Garnett said. “All night I could hear [Wizards assistant] Sam [...]

  Were you hoping to see a super-blazing fast, one-and-done, phenom of a point guard from Kentucky face off against a super-blazing fast, one-and-done, phenom of a point guard from Kentucky?   You might be out of luck.  Wall didn't play last night because of a sprained foot.  He did make the trip with the team, [...]
