Bulls under the radar and look good heading into easy schedule

The Chicago Bulls have won 11 of their last 13 games to help their cause of being an elite team in the Eastern Conference. Chicago is currently third in the conference and have a commanding seven game lead in the central division. Derrick Rose is playing at an MVP level, Carlos Boozer is at an [...]

Have the Suns hit rock bottom?

It is no secret that the Suns aren’t a very good basketball team right now and they might have hit the lowest point of the season after yesterday.  They had to come back from a 18-point deficit against the lowly Los Angeles Clippers and fell short in their comeback losing 108-103. The Suns wasted great [...]

Game Preview: Suns at Clippers

The Suns are in Los Angeles this afternoon to face the Clippers.  Despite their 8-22 record, LA has played much better the past week with winning three of their past four games.  They are coming off a loss to the Rockets on Wednesday night at home. Eric Gordon and Blake Griffin are clearly the Clips [...]

Looking back at last night

Usually when the Suns hold their opponent under 100 points, they are going to win that game, but that wasn’t the case last night.  Behind 36 points from LeBron James, the Miami Heat beat the Suns 95-83 last night. Even with Dwyane Wade out, the game was never really in doubt.  Miami’s suffocating defense allowed [...]

Game Preview: Heat at Suns

With Christmas just two days away, Suns fans will get an early present of seeing the Miami Heat in action here in Phoenix tonight.  Unfortunately, the game will feature a little less fire power. Vince Carter won’t make his Suns debut tonight due to his troublesome knee and Dwyane Wade will be a game-time decision.  [...]

Impressions on Suns/Magic deal

Sorry for the late response back for the deal that took place on Saturday, but I was busy losing my money in Vegas on video blackjack and at the sports book over the weekend.  Here is how the deal broke down. Phoenix receives Vince Carter, Mickael Pietrus, Marcin Gortat, Orlando’s 2011 first round pick and [...]

Farewell, Marcin Gortat

It goes without saying that we all have our favorite players, and of all the unsung heroes and bench players in Magic history, Gortat ranks up there with Jerry ‘Ice’ Reynolds and Anthony Bowie for me.  It’s his “heart and hustle” that endeared him to us and I almost hoped sometimes that Dwight would pick [...]

A Whirlwind of Activity Brings Overhaul to Magic Roster

On a day when there were rumors that the Magic would make a blockbuster trade, they made two.  The first dealt the underachieving Vince Carter, valued backup center Marcin Gortat, the three point chucking Pietrus, and possibly a first round pick for former Magic great Hedo Turkoglu, Jason Richardson, and youngster Earl Clark.  But that [...]

What is Brandon Bass’ Trade Value?

Brandon Bass recently began starting for the Magic and has been putting together some impressive games of late.  In the last seven games (excluding his 12 minute night against Portland), Bass has played he has averaged 13.9 points per game, 6.0 rebounds per game, shooting 57% from the floor.  While the Magic have to be [...]

Depleted Magic Roster Good Enough to Win 1 of 2

Last night, against Detroit, the Magic came out and handled business in the second half, turning a 1 point defecit at the half into a 13 point win. Holding Detroit to only 36 second half points enabled the Magic to sprint away with the victory; carrying a 5 point lead into th 4th quarter and [...]
