11-2 | Matrix won the player of the week award right after Amare Stoudamire won it the week before. I guess that’s what happens when a team is hot. |
| 2(3) |  |
13-2 | The Sonics are shooting a league leading 40% from the 3 pt. Line. Unimpressed? They also lead the league in 3’s taken with 316. |
| 3(4) |  |
11-3 | Defense, Defense, Defense. Yeah, the Spurs are good, but man are they boring. |
| 4(5) |  |
8-5 | As they proved in Sacramento, the T’Wolves can be very good when the Big Ticket has some help. |
| 5(7) |  |
10-5 | Lets talk about depth. The Mavs have a backup coach? Now that’s depth. Good luck Avery Johnson. |
| 6(9) |  |
8-5 | Believe it or not, but the run and gun Kings avg. the fewest turnovers in the league. |
| 7(2) |  |
10-5 | The Heat should be pulling away from the East. Except for the fact that they are 1-4 against the Western Conference. |
| 8(10) |  |
10-4 | Gotta love the depleted Pacers. They are not going down without a fight. Pun intended. |
| 9(11) |  |
8-6 | Last week I said the Lakers had to beat the Kings to crack the Top 10. I guess I lied. |
| 10(13) |  |
9-5 | Coach Dunleavy said, “You treat Lebron pretty much the way you would treat a Kobe Bryant”. No arguments here. |
| 11(19) |  |
9-6 | The Clippers have won 4 in row. I am not completely sold on them yet. We will know if they are for real Saturday vs. the T’Wolves. |
| 12(8) |  |
8-5 | I don’t care if it was a revenge game for Doc Rivers. The Magic have no business getting smoked by the Celtics at home. None. |
| 13(14) |  |
8-6 | Carmelo vs. Lebron is Thursday. How many Bird vs. Magic comparisons will we have to hear? |
| 14(6) |  |
8-6 | That was a steep drop for the Jazz. But they lost to Bulls and AK-47 is out for a couple weeks. It could get worse. |
| 15(21) |  |
7-5 | The Wizards are averaging 102.9 Not bad. Good enough for #2 in the NBA. They are giving up 102.8. That’s bad. |
| 16(12) |  |
6-7 | Ben Wallace suspension ends Friday night. Just in time to defend Tim Duncan. Welcome Back. |
| 17(22) |  |
6-6 | The Knicks are 5-1 at home, while on the road they are a sad 1-5. Fix that, and they could run away with the division. |
| 18(20) |  |
7-6 | The Northwest is ridiculous. The Blazers could win 50 games this year and still be at the bottom of their division. |
| 19(24) |  |
6-7 | On the flipside, Philly could win 50 games and take their division. |
| 20(15) |  |
5-8 | The Red Sox won. The Pats continue to win. There wont be a lot of grumbling about the Celts till the Pats are finished. Then watch the mob… |
| 21(16) |  |
6-9 | Houston, we have a rebounding problem. Team rebounding leader Yao Ming is averaging 7.7 boards per game. Nuff said. |
| 22(18) |  |
6-9 | The Raptors are 1-7 on the road so far this year. Oh and tonight they begin a 6 game road trip. This could get ugly. |
| 23(17) |  |
5-9 | Just when things started to go right they lose 3 straight. As long as they are below .500, they can’t afford to lose 3 straight again. |
| 24(23) |  |
4-7 | I was just about to give my “Michael Redd is next” speech. That is until Kobe LOCKED him down in LA. Lets see if he is ready for Kobe tonight. |
| 25(27) |  |
3-9 | These guys aren’t that bad. Theyre the best expansion team since….Wait, who was the last expansion team? |
| 26(26) |  |
3-10 | Here is a positive note. Mathematically, this team is still in the playoff hunt. That’s all…moving on. |
| 27(25) |  |
2-11 | Twenty bucks for the 1st person do describe a highlight from a recent Hawk game. The clock is ticking. |
| 28(26) |  |
2-11 | 9 game losing streak. Maybe they can shake things up and throw a couple punches at some fans. It worked for Pacers. |
| 29(28) |  |
1-12 | To make a comment, I require a fully operational team within the NBA. With that being said, “No Comment”. |
| 30(30) |  |
1-10 | Around this time every season we start to think the Bulls next season looks promising. Times have changed. They’ll stink next season too. |
