Derrick Rose has been patiently waiting for an ankle on the mend. Against San Antonio, Derrick had to just put it out of his mind and play as hard as he could play for as long as he could go. Coach Vinny Del Negro wanted to keep a close eye on Derrick Rose’s minutes, but he ended up playing 33 minutes in what was his first game in almost a month’s time.
Chicago Bulls 92 San Antonio Spurs 85
This was a huge victory for Chicago and probably not too …read more

Tim Duncan has had an incredible career filled with winning that dates back to the David Robinson era. As Robinson grew older he was paired with Duncan to make a twin towers that dominated the court.
Now the time for Tim Duncan is growing short and he knows it. San Antonio’s management also knows it, so they took a desperate gamble.
The original thinking was to find a Super Star player in the up and coming free agency of 2010. Every team in the league wants to …read more

The center position in basketball just ain’t what it used to be. It used to be you started with a center and then you found a point guard to lead the way. You had to have that big guy in the middle or you were toast. That was then and this is now. Now a day, there are some up tempo teams that would rather not play a true center. They would rather have a fast mobile power forward. Phoenix with …read more

The answer to “Who is better than Joe Dumars?”, is in my opinion, nobody. But then some would say that nobody is me and that would make me better than Joe, which is not true, so Joe Dumars is the best. Ok, just messing with you, but the The Ball don’t Lie has a great article on the 10 best GMs in the last decade.
They did not pick Joe Dumars as number 1.
So lets step through some of the highlights.
How about Pat Riley at number 8. He built a team in his image, always ready, always tough. …read more

ESPN does this thing where they get together a bunch of basketball experts that vote on the NBA conference teams to see who will end up in the NBA title game.
Well, this was a tough vote. The Los Angeles Lakers won in a landslide. Geez that is hardly news. The champs added Ron Artest to the lineup and resigned Lamar Odom and those two are just bit players on that team. You have to recognize that the Lakers are Kobe Bryant’s team first last …read more

Tim Duncan will once again have a team to write home about. There was serious talk that the Spurs had just grown too old and too complacent to be kings of the hill any more. Were they facing the same fate as the Pistons and heading into a slow destruction while still winning quite a few games, but not enough games?
It made for a very important off season for the San Antonio Spurs and future Hall of Famer Tim Duncan.
So how did the Spurs do? …read more

Manu Ginobili is out. There is nothing the Spurs can do about that and it is a hard loss to take. Manu is often the X-factor that spells doom for the other teams. If they bully Parker and double Duncan then Manu kills them with his outside game or slashes to the basket for repeated layups.
Now the Spurs have faced injured players before and if that was all there was then they would not be so worried. Sure the Lakers are the odds on …read more

Are we forgetting Tim Duncan? Will the Spurs just go away? Has Duncan lost his drive?
Nah!
Tim is always ready come playoff time and as usual is the ultimate mismatch player alternating short drives with post up moves making it very difficult to stop him.
But take a look at the Western Conference.
With just a little over 10 games to go in the regular season.
The Lakers dominate with 54 victories and look solid with a returning Bynum.
But the rest of the group?
Houston 46 victories
San Antonio 45
Denver 45
New Orleans …read more
