East All-Star reserves: Jose Calderon got robbed by a masked man named Richard Hamilton, who undeservedly stole his spot. Calderon is one of the best guards in the NBA right now, while Hamilton is a solid player who benefits from being on a very good team. Unfortunately the coaches making the decisions missed seeing Calderon [...]
Game Recap: Raptors 122, Wizards 83
One hoarse throat, a Raptor Bobblehead and a nice, full, energetic arena later, the Toronto Raptors found themselves on the favorable end of a complete routing of the Washington Wizards. It wasn’t even close, and it makes you just wonder how the Raptors played so poorly only 24 hours ago? Was it the crowd consistently shouting “d-fence” (while [...]
HoopsAddict.com’s Southeast Division Review - Jan. 30
You may recall that last year HoopsAddict.com was lucky enough to take a spot on About.com’s weekly division recap panel. Both Ryan McNeill and I took turns breaking down the woes and worries of the Atlantic Division, back before the Boston Celtics were even worth talking about.

Game Recap: Wizards 108, Raptors 104
History felt like it was about to repeat, but some days, you just don’t deserve to win. In what can be called a great last minute effort, the Raptors came up with too little in the second half and overtime. And that was with a lot of calls going their way.

Game Recap: Wizards 108, Raptors 104 (OT)

To catch [...]

Game Recap - Cavaliers 98, Lakers 95
It’s easy to look at LeBron James’ stat line this season and not think much of it anymore. It’s LeBron James after all. He’s a beast, we’re all used to it and we’ve all gotten over it. But take a closer look, it was bound to happen eventually so it’s no real surprise, but James, [...]
Reviewing The 2006 NBA Draft
With David Thorpe’s recent article on ESPN looking back at some of the selections in the 2006 draft and their progress so far in the NBA, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look back as well. It has a similar feel to the article by David Thorpe, but there is [...]
Game Recap - New Orleans @ San Antonio
Wait, what? The New Orleans Hornets are in first place in the Western Conference? What gives? What year is this? Where am I? I mean, I knew they were good but I didn’t know they were this good.
