Joe Dumars: How the Detroit GM Can Solve the Pistons’ Problems
Posted: 29th November 2009 by alex jung in NBA
Alright Pistons Fansùget ready because putting the Detroit team together is really simple.
I think if I were on the Pistons staff, I would construct this team to Joe Dumars' liking. As far as I know, Joe D likes to make his team with cast- offs. He doesn't really like having a big name player like Dwayne Wade or Lebron James.
Dumars likes his team to have teamwork, chemistry, and tough players. ...
The Eagles ' win over the Redskins Sunday moved the team to 7-4 overall on the season (3-1 in the division) and firmly into the driver's seat for one of the two NFC wild card spots.
But in reality, it was about as close to a defeat as a win could be. á
In fact, while the Redskins get credit for another moral victory for keeping the game so close, the ...
Dipped, Fried, and Chomped: Timberwolves Make Meal Out of Nuggets
Posted: 29th November 2009 by Matthew Hayden in NBA
First off, thank you Minnesota Timberwolves for, as sadly as it sounds, re-sparking your fan base with a win over the Denver Nuggets.
Over the web, just one minute into actually winning their second game, Timberwolves fan's are incredibly impressed and NBA fans are amazed that the Wolves end their 15 game losing streak against the Denver Nuggets, in Denver Nuggets territory.
If the Wolves would have lost that game, it would ...
Horrendous Play-Calling Hurts Dolphins in Loss To the Bills
Posted: 29th November 2009 by T.J. Morrill in NFL
While the final score was 31-14, I will assure you this was not as lopsided a game as the score would lead you to believe. This game was tied in the 4th quarter but the Dolphins let it get out of hand.
In fact, the Dolphins should have blown the game open in the first half.
However, Dolphin offensive coordinator Dan Henning's play calling was atrocious.
On their first drive of the game, ...
Charged Up: Kansas City’s Blunders Mean Another Win, San Diego May Run Table
Posted: 29th November 2009 by Eric Gomez in NFL
So maybe Thanksgiving night was made a little less joyful by the Broncos taking down a quixotic Giants team (but I guess that's what you can expect when Kevin Gilbride is your offensive coordinator), but I'm betting the smile came back on everyone's face when they were reminded San Diego would face the Chiefs on Sunday.
Despite the constant warnings by the "experts" of a potential trap game (AKA "Sleeper ...
Bengals-Browns: Cincinnati Runs Over Hapless Northeast Neighbors
Posted: 29th November 2009 by Eric Ball in NFL
The Cincinnati Bengals played the ball control game as they ran the rock down the Cleveland Browns' throats in a 16-7 workman-like victory.
The Bengals held the ball for just over 38 minutes as they rushed for 210 yards on the ground. á The Browns were simply unable to stop the Bengals two-headed rushing attack of Larry Johnson and Bernard Scott. With Cedric Benson out for the second-straight game with a ...
Pivot Points: The L.A. Lakers Are Finding Their Rhythm As Kobe Adjusts
Posted: 29th November 2009 by Hadarii Jones in NBA
As the Los Angeles Lakers continue their holiday feast of the NBA's most impoverished teams, they are beginning to find that championship rhythm that has eluded them thus far this season.
In their latest conquest of the cellar-dwelling Golden State Warriors, the Lakers appeared to be firing on all cylinders as they completely blew the Warrioirs out of their own gym.
The offense was in a rhythm, and the defense was able ...
Well, I'm back with another fearless prediction—this time, I've got a lot of swagger, after almost nailing the final score and outcome in the CBJ's game against the Preds, on the 21st.
A wise person would quit while they're behind—well, I'm not that wise person. Lest we forget, I also had possibly the worst prediction, ever, against the Red Wings, a week or so earlier. Then again, no one saw that ...
The Boston Bruins have one of the most storied traditions in the NHL. They were founded in 1924 and are one of the original six teams. They were also the very first American based team.
The Bruins have had plenty of great players come through the doors and wear the spoked B proudly which made compiling this list so hard. There were some guys that were left off this list ...
Imagining the Sixers Without Iverson: Jrue Holiday’s NBA Orientation
Posted: 29th November 2009 by Bryan Toporek in NBA
With Sixers coach Eddie Jordan downplaying the slew of "Allen Iverson back to the Sixers" reports , I wanted to take some time and examine what the next eight weeks could look like for the team sans "The Answer."
The question that should be on most Sixers' fans minds as they've been watching these past few games: Just who is this new starting point guard? áWho is Jrue Holiday?
The Sixers ...
