Earlier Wednesday afternoon, the Nets, Rockets, Hornets, and Pacers completed a four-way trade with the centerpieces being Darren Collison to Indy and Trevor Ariza to New Orleans. Time for a grade breakdown: Indiana Pacers receive Darren Collison, James Posey – the Pacers are clearly the winner of this deal. In exchange for the rising talent out [...]

eHarmony Presents: T-Mac And The Clippers
When Tracy McGrady was traded to New York last February, there was a buzz in NYC. He was easily the most dynamic star they’ve had in years. T-Mac dropped 26 huge points in his Knick debut vs. the Thunder and it had the fans chomping at the bit. But as days passed and games were lost, [...]
2010 Regular Season Awards (Sixth Man Of The Year)
The NBA gave out their season awards eons ago. We got interrupted by Playoff fever. Some of these blurbs may even sound funny and outdated. Anyway, here are our picks of previous awards. PREVIOUS AWARDS 2010 Coach of the Year 2010 Rookie of the Year 2010 Most Improved Player 2010 Defensive Player of the Year [...]
2010 Regular Season Awards (Most Improved Player)
The NBA has been giving out their end-of-season awards. We’re long overdue to give out our version. So this week, we are doing just that. PREVIOUS AWARDS 2010 Coach of the Year 2010 Rookie of the Year Most Improved Player is a bit of a strange award. Some people are clamoring for players that ACTUALLY [...]
It Shouldn’t Be THIS Hard For The Lakers
The Lakers blew out the Oklahoma City Thunder, 111-87, last night. This is how it should have been from the beginning. I stated several times that the Lakers aren’t doing rocket science, brain surgery, or trying to beat Garry Kasparov in chess. They’re playing basketball. Basketball. We’ve said in the past that the Lakers have [...]
2010 Regular Season Awards (Coach Of The Year)
The NBA has already given out some of their end-of-season awards. Our 11-person staff of writers and contributors got together (not really but it sounds cooler this way) and voted for these same end-of-season awards as well. We’ll also put down our preseason picks (if applicable) and see if we were actually good at prognosticating [...]
2010 Playoff Preview (Portland TrailBlazers)
Let’s continue this 2010 Playoff Preview. TNLP (and friends… maybe enemies, I don’t know) helps break down each Playoff team one by one! Resilient. That’s what the Portland TrailBlazers are this season. Injury after injury after injury. Yet they kept fighting and fighting and fighting. They come into the playoffs wounded at the 6th spot [...]
Lakers And Spurs… Where You Think You’re Going?
I’m sure it surprised some people that the Spurs beat the Lakers. I’m more surprised on how the Spurs beat them handily. 100-81 was the final score. Right now, these are two teams that are going in different directions. Actually, we have one team that’s trying to go the right direction while we have one [...]
TNLP Is Spurred (Episode 5)
This was supposed to be a monthly thing, right? Well, Jeff Garcia from Project Spurs and I didn’t talk last month. I remember him saying that the San Antonio Spurs are just not cutting the mustard. Well, they’re still in the lower seeds while the Lakers are still on top. We tried to have a [...]
We Like Obscure NBA Players: Billy Ray Bates
A kid once asked me who do I worship. I replied by asking him the same question. “Jesus Christ”, he said. With that I was able to respond appropriately “Billy Ray Bates. He’s on the same level. You’ll understand when you’re older.” OK, well that didn’t really happen, but you catch my drift. Bates was [...]
