However, his biggest contribution came as a decoy for G Derek Fisher to hit the game-tying three that sent the contest into OT. While the Lakers hold a ... Read Full Story

Once again Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with a game high 30 points as he finally ... Read Full Story

He has done it again! Derek Fisher has hit another big shot to win another big game in a big time clutch situation! Robert Horry may be the one Lakers legend with the most clutch shots in the big time playoff game situations, but Derek Fisher is catching up especially hitting two extremely clutch three both in regulation and overtime in the Los Angeles Lakers game four victory in Orlando. These shots weren't as crazy as 0.4 back in the day against San Antonio, but they great shots that had me jumping out of my seat! In beginning of game four, both teams were ... Read Full Story

Pau Gasol was always questioned about his toughness. Especially in last year’s NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. He was also questioned about his toughness against point guards! Have you ever seen him dunked by Baron Davis? He struggled badly last year against Kevin Garnett in the NBA Finals. That series was a lop-sided match-up with ” The Big Ticket “ winning. But Pau Gasol has been struggling a bit this year in the Finals as well when he faces Dwight “ Superman ” Howard. Gasol only averaged close to 15 points per game last year in the Finals. He was criticized badly not ... Read Full Story

The Cleveland Cavaliers made a huge first splash in the off season landing Shaquille O'Neal from the Phoenix Suns the night before the NBA Draft. Since then, other teams have made moves of their own to counter what Cleveland has done.

It's not the time to panic...

When forward Jermaine O’Neal was brought to the Toronto Raptors before the start of the 2008-09 season, many thought that his rebounding and defense will immediately provide support to the team’s front court of Andrea Bargnani and Chris Bosh. For some reasons, it did not work. By the All-Star break, O’Neal was traded to the Miami Heat for another forward, Shawn Marion. Still, it was not enough for the Raptors to make the playoffs. In...
