NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Larry Brown looked stunned. He had just been ejected for debating a call by a replacement referee. How could he eject the grand old man of NBA basketball coaching? That was not all. The NBA decided to fine Larry two times for the one game. It must have been a 2 for 1 sale.

Found this by Jamie Samuelsen who blogs for the Free Press in Detroit.
Sheed had two points through the first two and half quarters. He picked up a technical, and then realized that he was the best player in the building. He dominated offensively and shut down Tim Duncan.
I’ve been writing this blog for about a year and I’ve probably spent more time on my inner angst about Wallace than any other topic. I love him and I hate him. The Pistons have to dump him, yet somehow can’t …read more

For better or worse and most of the time worse, Stephon Marbury has been the face of the New York Knicks. He was like a plague to both Larry Brown and Isiah Thomas. Now the Knicks are prepared to face life without him.
