Although Dwight Howard was the one guy on the Magic who didn’t look like he should give his paycheck back after last night’s embarrassing loss to Oklahoma City, that didn’t stop the Thunder announcers from using Dwight for a punchline or two. “Superman has met Lex Luger tonight,” joked commentator Grant ...1 day ago -

Erick Dampier was almost the headline photo for today’s Smack. Seriously. In the late stages of the fourth quarter of Mavs/Hornets, Damp (16 pts, 14 rebs, 3 blks) was the most clutch player in the building, getting a putback off a Dirk Nowitzki miss to break a tie, catching an alley-oop from Jason Kidd on [...]5 days ago -

I ran across an interesting article at Cleveland Scene about how the Cleveland media has struggled to cover Delonte West . These stories are far too rarely told in public. (Via @snthebaseline ) Dwight Howard is tired of being hammered by smaller players and dealing with teams that have adopted the ...5 days ago -
Knicks Out Shoot Hornets 117-111 For First Win Of Season
Slam Dunk Central —
Authority: 509
If you are hoping to watch a good defensive battle than the New York Knicks are not the team for you. Defense seems to be a word that is foreign to the team’s vocabulary. They can put the ball in the bucket but unfortunately they allow the other team to do it at a greater pace then they score themselves. Through the ...1 week ago -
The Whiny Face of Frustration

By now, you should know that when NBA announcers keep saying, “Kobe is really frustrated,” it’s actually code for, “Kobe is playing like crap and won’t stop whining to the refs.” And when one of them does fix his mouth to call Kobe out on his antics, they never actually say his name; it’s more [...]1 week ago -

It would have been assumed that the young Bobcats were not headed in the right direction after drafting both Adam Morrison and Alexis Ajinca in the first round of the draft. But when Sheldon Williams drops a near double-double on you, things really aren’t looking too good. Blame it on the pre-game masseuse or ...1 week ago -
