Suicide lines: Van Gundy critical of Magic; Stojakovic to start

Each weekday morning, BDL serves up a handful of NBA-related stories to digest with your bagels.Brian Schmitz, Orlando Sentinel: "As if the loss to a reigning lottery team wasn't bad enough, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard(notes) said it appeared his team 'quit' during the dreary proceedings. 'We haven't had a game like this in a long time. We'd miss shots and guys would hang their heads,' Howard said. 'I don't think we should quit in a game. Seems...

Post Up: Dwyane’s Got It

by Holly MacKenzie/@stackmack Woah, holy long night. I got home from the arena after filing my nba.com story on the Raptors/Pistons game just in time to catch the OT session of the Hornets and Mavs. I hate seeing Chris Paul look as frustrated as he has in the past couple of Hornets games, so I was rooting for them to get the W, but I couldn’t help but sympathize with the Mavericks and their tired legs from the night before. New Orleans outscored Dallas 17-10 in the extra session and CP3...

Paul sparks Hornets to OT win over Mavericks

Peja Stojakovic hit a game-tying 3-pointer in the final seconds of regulation and Chris Paul scored six of his 39 points in overtime, lifting the New Orleans Hornets to a 114-107 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.

Stojakovic, Paul help Hornets sting Mavericks in OT

After squandering a 12-point second half lead, the Celtics lead 82-80 with 6 minutes left in the game. Lead by Chris Paul and Peja Stojakovic, the Hornets had all the momentum. Following a Celtics timeout the Cs went on a 15-6 run. Here's the breakdown:

Kevin Garnett makes 9-foot two point shot
Kevin Garnett makes 6-foot two point shot
Ray Allen makes jumper (Rajon Rondo assists)
Paul Pierce makes 7-foot two point shot
Rajon Rondo makes two point shot (Kevin Garnett assists)
Paul Pierce makes 24-foot three point jumper (Kevin Garnett assists)
Kendrick Perkins makes 7-foot jumper (Kevin Garnett assists)

Prior to that timeout, the Celtics were getting scorched on defense and playing sloppy on offense. I'm not sure what Doc said, or what the players said to one another, but they clearly flipped a switch, played clean basketball and finished off the Hornets.

Chris Paul does not like Rajon Rondo and vice versa. They were slapped with double technical fouls in the 2nd quarter for getting too touchy under the basket. And then Paul had some words for Rajon after the game.

Here's the head-to-head matchup:

Paul: 22 pts, 9-13 FG, 8 assists, 3 reb, 2 TO
Rondo: 6 pts, 3-7 FG, 10 assists, 3 reb, 4 TO

Paul gets the nod tonight, thanks to a big 3rd quarter. It wasn't Rondo's best effort, but it's tough to complain when the guy gets double digit assists.

Peja Stojakovic Has Some 'Splainin To Do

The Hornets star was in Los Angeles on Friday. I know this not from looking at the schedule, but from the Tweets - and video - of a porn star who claimed she met him. Intimately. Sienna West is an adult actress, and like all sex workers these days, she updates the world on her, um interactions. (A Tweet the previous day ended with "G/g gang bang.") So when she had an appointment to meet Stojakovic for...something, she just had to film herself on the way. (Note: I am definitely no...

John Reid of the New Orleans Times Picayune reports: When New Orleans Hornets small forward Peja Stojakovic reports for training camp later this month, General Manager Jeff Bower and Coach Byron Scott will already know if his previous back problems will be a factor. Two weeks ago, the franchise sent Mark Cranston, Director of Athlete [...]

Sacramento Kings Fans: Where Have You Gone?

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 04:55:39 -0500

Watching the Lakers-Kings game tonight, I couldn't help but think of how good games were between these two franchises at a time that now seems like many, many years ago. But now...things have changed, and as much as I am a die-hard Laker fan, I'm a little bit disgusted. Why is the ovation for the starting line-up for the Lakers louder than the starting line-up for the Kings?
