Knicks select Michael Sweetney at 9
New Orleans selects David West at 18

Who’s Craig Ehlo? Lebron James Writes New Chapter In Cavs History
If you didn’t catch it last night, Lebron made a ridiculous game-winner over Hedo’s outstretched arms with the clock expiring to catapult the Cavs to a 96-95 win. For us Bulls fans, nothing will ever top Jordan’s shot on Ehlo (besides his shot on Russell and other MJ exploits, but that is besides the point), [...]
'Melo Rips Wizards-Nuggets Win
(AP Photo/David Zalubowski)(Boulder-CO) It was just one of those nights for Carmelo Anthony, the Nuggets, and even mascot Rocky. Anthony came out and dropped 20 points, Denver put 30 points on the scoreboard, and Rocky tossed in a half court-backwards granny shot all in the first twelve minute perio...

I know this is a bit late, but there has been a lot of buzz about Game 3 of the Lakers-Nuggets series. The call in question was when Trevor Ariza was fouled by Carmelo Anthony and there wasn't a clear path foul called. Lakers fans were angry and confused about the rule as it would have give the Lakers two free throws and the ball.It was the right call.First off, Trevor Ariza...

The NBA Refs Are Fantastic...If Fantastic Means God-Awful
If I had $500 in my pocket right now (which I don't) and I needed to get advice on who to bet that money on for an NBA Playoff game, who would I go to? Not the great RJ Bell at Pregame.com. Not anyone on ESPN (some please shut down their NBA Shoot Around show ASAP). Not Lee Cordova (it is best you don't know who he is or what he does). I would go straight to: JOEY CRAWFORD
Kobe’s Late Trey Helps Lakers Regain Series Lead, Beat Nuggets 103-97

If you watched last night’s Game 2 matchup between the Lakers and Nuggets, two things became evident: 1) Carmelo Anthony is a beast; 2) Chauncey Billups is money in the playoffs. At the end of the first half, Billups attempted to inbound the ball along the baseline but rather than pass it to a teammate, [...]

LA beat Denver 103-94 to take a 3-2 lead. Bryant didn’t shoot much, just 13 attempts, but scored 22 points andled Los Angeles with his passing. On the night he had seven assists and five rebounds. The big story was really Lamar Odom though. After struggling in the first four games of the series Odom had 19 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 assists to spark Los Angeles. Pau Gasol only...

Does The “Cleveland Curse” Actually Exist?
I have always considered myself a very logical person. I do believe that dinosaurs once walked the earth and I also have no doubts that man has walked on the moon. Up until Tuesday night I also believed that there was no such thing as a curse or a jinx. By the time the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Orlando Magic in game four of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals had ended however...

I get into a little debate today at work. I told this guy that LeBron James came up lame during last night's game. King James turned the ball over 7 times during the fourth quarter and overtime including some very costly mistakes in the extra period.He countered with "how could you say that after he hit those huge free throws with 0.5 seconds remaining?" Are you serious...

I've watched a lot of games and teams over the years and attitude, specifically having the right attitude, counts for a lot. When I watch two really good teams go up against each other, I watch to see if the a great offensive player checks the other team's defensive player. On the one hand, I get the argument that you don't want your best offensive player being tired out on defense...
