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 [...]
Are You Thankful, Magic Fans?

We clamored for change. It was readily apparent to the most casual spectator that a championship was not within reach given the current roster. We knew something had to be done and it was within Otis Smith’s realm of expertise to make personnel changes and bring about the kind of team transformation that could result [...]

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 [...]
Remember What I said about the J.R. Smith dunk?
December 20, 2010 by Brett Roberts
Filed under MLB
I recall saying that we “needed” what J.R. Smith brought to the table in terms of excitement. Enter, Jason Richardson. Richardson is capable of dazzling on fast breaks and always brings an element of excitement if he gets it in the open court (here’s to more fast break opportunites!). And who can forget we already [...]
A Whirlwind of Activity Brings Overhaul to Magic Roster
December 18, 2010 by Brett Roberts
Filed under MLB
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 [...]

It was a little too close for comfort at times, but the Suns were able to pull out a hard fought 128-122 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night to snap a three-game losing skid.

Suns drop third straight to Blazers

On a night where former Suns great Kevin Johnson was in the house, the Suns laid a real stinker at home in a 101-94 loss to the very familiar Portland Trail Blazers. Ever since last year’s first round playoff, the Blazers have now won three straight over the Suns. If you took a quick glance [...]

The Suns came back from a double-digit fourth quarter deficit to send it into overtime, but Phoenix ran out of gas in the extra session and the Grizzlies won 104-98 to grab their first game on their three game road. After winning three straight, the Suns have suddenly lost two games in a row. Phoenix [...]
Looking back at last night and previewing tonight

Filed under MLB
It might have been a different date, but the Suns 1o6-99 loss to the Trail Blazers last night felt real similar to the game that the two teams played to start off the season. Like in their first matchup, the Suns had control of the game in the first three quarters, but a poor final [...]
