With one signing, the New Orleans Hornets have improved. The Hornets added James Posey, with a four year contract. The reported sum of the four years is a healthy twenty five million dollars.
James Posey will present a three point shot threat which should spread out the defense for Chris Paul. Even if [...]
There was no question. The Boston Celtics dominated. The final score was 131 - 92; and the Boston Celtics won their seventeenth championship. Kudos to the Celtics.
The Lakers fans deserved better. At one local venue, Lakers fans have been gathering all season - and for countless seasons previously. [...]
The sports news services are carrying a story that Kendrick Perkins will be playing in Game Six. Some Lakers fans are writing and bemoaning the fact that the Lakers odds of winning the Tuesday night elimination game just went down.
For the Lakers fans, if the belief is that the team from the left coast [...]
Game Six, a possible elimination game in the Celtic-Lakers series, will be played in Boston. The key Lakers player may be Lamar Odom. Over the last two games, the Celtics have been able to contain Kobe Bryant. The Celtics have limited him to an average of twenty one points over Games Four [...]

“He can’t get any more intense. I don’t think it’s humanly possible.”

Game Three of the NBA championship series was characterized by missed shots and disappearing performances. It was a game that raised more questions and provided few answers. The Lakers won: 87 - 81; and perhaps they won in spite of themselves:
Kobe Bryant missed seven free throws. Usually, for Kobe Bryant, [...]
The L.A. Lakers won Game Three against the Boston Celtics and it was a thoroughly unconvincing win. It was a 87 - 81 victory, thanks to a thirty six point performance from Kobe Bryant. The lack of help was staggering. No Lakers starter, other than Kobe Bryant, scored in double figures.
