For those avid viewers of Spike TV (and what guy doesn't love that channel), you may have seen the sport Slamball for two seasons, in 2002 and 2003. Well, Slamball is returning, with eight franchises. If you're interested, they are holding open tryouts in early April and the...

JEWELSRoger Mason, PG, WASIn his last five games he has averaged 14 pts, 2 boards, 2 assists, a block and a steal a game. Until Arenas is back (which is looking more and more questionable with each passing week), this guy may be a good substitute buy. Mason's also been getting...

BONZI WELLS (NOH, SF)
The saavy 31 year-old is showing he still has some game left in him. In his last two outings he has seen increased minutes and productivity. Last night against Houston his 25 points were 28% of his team's total point output, and he also came away with 2 steals...

KYLE KORVER (Uta, SF)
Coach Sloan has been talking about integrating Korver as more of an option within the Jazz option and that's exactly what has occurred. Korver put a ridiculous line of 17 pts [6-7 FG, 1-1 3PT, 4-4 FT], 4 reb, 4 asst, 2 stl in only 21 minutes of play last...

JOSH CHILDRESS
I know that we have been down on this guy in the past. But there is no way the Hawks can go through a playoff push with only a five-man rotation, and Childress should be the first guy off the bench. Against the defensively-challenged New York Knickerbockers, Childress...

I blame daylight savings for the Lakers loss to the Kings last night. Kobe was obviously fatigued by the time the game reached the fourth quarter and could not play to his potential. One point in the fourth quarter Kobe? That's abysmal. Well, at least daylight savings time hasn...
