Studs: New York Knicks (138-125 victory over Golden State)
Despite the fact that the Knicks were playing against one of the few teams equally disinterested in playing defense as they are, they had a few players put up some ridiculous numbers. Chris Duhon set a franchise record in assists with 22, David Lee chipped in 37 [...]

Studs:
Dwyane Wade, Miami HEAT
Dwyane Wade was spectacular in the HEAT’s first meeting against the Phoenix Suns since the Shaquille O’Neal for Shawn Marion trade. The HEAT got the better end of the matchup this time around, as Wade poured in a season high 43 points (on 15-24 shooting) along with six assists. [boxscore]
Emeka Okafor, [...]

Backcourt insubordination

November 27, 2008

Allen Iverson apparently decided that practicing on Thanksgiving day was too much to ask, as he was the only Detroit Pistons player absent from a mandatory practice today. Pistons coach Michael Curry said that Iverson will be issued a “hefty” fine and hasn’t decided if A.I. will play in Friday’s matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. [...]

November 27, 2008

The University of Texas has produced some of the best NBA prospects in the NBA over the last several years. Among them are D.J. Augustin, Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, Daniel Gibson and T.J. Ford. The past several days I was able to get an up-close look at Texas in the Maui Invitational, and two players [...]

Maui Invitational: Bigs with potential

November 27, 2008

This year’s Maui Invitational tournament had its fair share of NBA-prospects, but here are a few post players who I think may eventually develop into solid pros.

Luke Harandody – Notre Dame, Jr.
At 6′8″ and 250 lbs., Notre Dame junior Luke Harangody is a force to be reckoned with in the paint. He has more than [...]

Maui Invitational: UNC is full of NBA talent

November 26, 2008

In the following day, I will take a look at the numerous NBA prospects that we saw in action throughout the tournament. But as the University of North Carolina was crowned tournament champions after a convincing win against Notre Dame, I think it is only fitting that we start with the immense amount of potential [...]

Studs and Duds: 11/25/08

November 25, 2008

Stud: Andray Blatche, Washington Wizards
Apparently having interim head coach Ed Tapscott at the helm lit a fire under (the enigma otherwise known as) Andray Blatche. In 29 minutes off the bench, Blatche contributed 25 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, five blocks and two steals. For a guy who was averaging under seven points per game [...]

Manu Ginobili returns to the Spurs

November 25, 2008

Manu Ginobili made his season debut yesterday, chipping in 12 points off the bench to help the San Antonio Spurs defeat the Memphis Grizzlies 94-81. This will be a huge boost to the Spurs who have been without point guard Tony Parker since the first week of the month after an ankle sprain.
