Damn, this team is deep.
After the nasty 4-6 start to the season, the Spurs have gone on a 3-game winning streak. In the last game, we beat an exhausted, overworked Warriors team that was on a SEGABABA. Big frickin' deal. The only "good" team we...

Look-Alikes of the Week: Russell Brand and Luis Scola

Luis Scola & timely outside shooting lift Argentina over Dominican Republic 89-87 in OT. Forget about Canada-Uruguay, this game easily qualifies as the best game of the 1st round. Less TOs (total of 16) & less fouls than the Can-Urug game plus the added juice of a lively crowd...

The way Laker fans were acting following Fisher’s stinker in Game 1, they might actually be happy if Derek Fisher were to be suspended for Game 3 against the Rockets. Luis Scola seemed to be in the middle of every tussle in the second half of Game 2 Wednesday night against the...

Will Rockets fans miss the most important trade of the decade? It could definitely go under the radar. H-Town shipped both its 2009 draft picks (to bring in Luis Scola and Ron Artest), leaving most Rockets fans without incentive to follow the NBA’s annual rite of passage. It’s...

BRANDON BASS
This is a guy who had me on his bandwagon when Dirk went down. He has some ability and the Mavs just are not that deep. 21 points and 5 rebounds while shooting 6-12 from the field and 9-12 from the line is respectable. He is the first guy off the bench for this team,...
