After a much-needed hiatus, the Spurs and the Hornets are set to resume their playoff series tonight and this time, it’s for all the marbles… or the whole shebang… or perhaps we’re going for a “last man standing” approach. Whatever the case, Game 7 between the Spurs of San Antonio and New Orleans Hornets […]

Backed by a combined 62 points from Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili and a 11 made 3-pointers (is Michael Finely STILL in the league?), the Spurs clawed their way back into their series with the Hornets with a 100-99 victory.

The Parker/Ginobili duo did just about everything in their power to counter a Hornets […]

Which is it? Of course, those that vote for the NBA’s MVP award made Kobe their winner and justifiably so. He had a another great season and his team performed much better than expected. Of course, a lot of that had to do with Gasol theft, but nevertheless, the best player on […]

To further […]

After a moderately subpar game against Detroit on Sunday, CP3 reminded us the MVP discussion is long from being over. While many are content to concede the award to Lebron or Kobe, the face of the New Orleans franchise continues to be just as dominant while keeping the Hornets right in the thick of […]

The NBA’s top point guard (not named Chris Paul, Deron Williams, or Jason Kidd) is looking kind of gaunt lately. I saw his interview last night on ESPN and he a little compare/contrast exercise came to mind. Observe:
