Hughes Happy With Smiling Star
The City gaffer is happy that one of his star men has started playing with a little more obvious joy after some tricky recent times at the club.

King James Has Triple-Double As Cavaliers Smoke Heat 99-89
Regular readers of these pages are aware that I covered Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star forward LeBron James for his first three seasons in the Association, plus the NBA Finals in 2007. Including preseason games and playoff contests, that means I watched LBJ in person in excess of 150 times during that period. I have watched this [...]
The Heat Can Score, When The Suns Defend
Last night the Heat beat the Suns with a pretty balanced scoring attack. But, this is a case where the stats are kind of off. Even though DWade didn't have to carry the team, the Suns don't play consistent defense, so Cook got open shots, most of their shots were open and easy. Daequan Cook can ...

Day 129 of 170: Dwyane Wade Just Burst into Flames
Line of the Night: Dwyane Wade (1.43) continues his
absolutely insane play over the last month with 35 points (sadly, he
didn't go over 40), 16 assists, 6 boards, and 2 steals as Miami beat
the Suns 135-129. If he keeps this up, we're going to have a new number
one overall fantasy player very, very soon.

(Cleveland 99 - Miami 89 Box)
As Dwyane Wade drove toward the basket, you could see he was starting to lose control of his body as he so often does.? It usually ends with Dwyane Wade flying every which way, firing up a circus shot that has at least a 30% chance of going in all [...]
'Ru Bosh' has a response for Shaq
Shaquille O'Neal has ruffled a lot of feathers lately. Stan Van Gundy's. Dwyane Wade's. Chris Bosh's. And now the replies are being formulated. Chris Bosh has a video blog, which for the most part is boring as hell. But on this week's edition, he does take the time to [...]

2. Chris Paul
3. Dwyane Wade
4. Danny Granger

THE GREAT ARISFLOPPLE
Let the "Hate Shaq Tour" continue, as ESPN.com so kindly puts it. Tuesday night, after the Orlando Magic put down the Phoneix Suns 111-99, Magic head coach and former head coach of one Shaquille O'Neal, Stan Van Gundy, slammed Shaq for his play that night. His play included, flopping on Dwight Howard rather than moving his feet to play defense, racking up his usual...
