Finally the right man wins the dunk contest. This is what happens when you don't allow Michael Jordan to be a judge, even if Darryl Dawkins is perhaps his equal in hateration. Howard stole the show in what many are saying was one of the best dunk contests ever, if at leas...

Flying is Hard Work (via True Hoop)

Dwight Howard made a few jokes about his dunk contest preparation.

It was a little funny. But it was not light-hearted.

A year ago, after losing, he was clearly down -- the victim of a misunderstood, and under-appreciated sticker dunk.

So he didn't go crazy. He went corporate. To become Superman, first he spent a year as Clark Kent. He brainstormed. He workshopped. He f...

A Very NBA Valentine's Day [Nba Closer] (via Deadspin)

The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who's got a sinus infection right now, so don't expect any miracles today, okay? When he's not hacking up globs of stuff that look like they could be used as monster blood in an Alien versus Predator ...

Day 71 of 170: Eddy Curry has his revenge on Chicago (via Yardbarker)

While he didn't have the Line of the Night, the oft-maligned (by us) Eddy Curry came up with 29 points on 11-14 shooting (and 7-10 from the line) to help the oft-maligned (by everyone) Knicks beat the (effed in the head) Bulls. Curry had a career high (I'm guessing) 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. It's probably not too much to expect another good game from him next month. Line of the Night: Dwigt Howa...

Dirtlocker points for: Allen Iverson, Rashad McCants

The losing ways of the Timberwolves continued on Friday Night as they dropped their seventh straight game, this one to the Nuggets at Target Center. The Nuggets dumped the Wolves thanks to a big night from Allen Iverson and prevailed despite the resurgence of Rashad McCants who put in 34 points.

Right now, there are 39 players in the NBA from the 2005 draft class including 4 undrafted players. We know about Chris Paul and Deron Williams, but what about the rest? I've looked at their stats and ranked them by their overall performance from this year. See who's the best at each stat too. Stats are as of 12/31/07. Player (Draft #) Current Team Averages 1.

Kings' (2-4) Hawes & Udrih Debut in 100-93 Win vs. T'Wolves (0-5) (via Yardbarker)

I had my doubts about the Kings' free agent picks the past few years, but left handed point guard Beno Udrih might be a good choice. I mean, we got someone who was said to have not been dwaived by the T'Wolves out of all teams, and not only that, his finger on his shooting hand was broken when we got him. All of a sudden, he's the hero of the night. After losing a close game to the Cavs the n...

These first 3 add/drops were all made by the same teaminosity. The same team, I might addify, that picked up Matt Carroll before I could (after the news hit that Adam Morrison would be out for the season).

The Minnesota Timberwolves took a big step towards building their final roster before the season starts next week, trading away the final two starters remaining on the team from last season, Mark Blount and Ricky Davis. This deal has been hinted at over the course of training camp, but Blount was really never talked about, and this deal could lead to even more moves for the Wolves. In return f...

Recap: Wolves 113, Pacers 110 (via Yardbarker)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100
Dirtlocker points for: Ricky Davis, Al Jefferson, Rashad McCants, Craig Smith, Chris Richard

The Wolves finally picked up a victory in the US last night, but it took some time. The Wolves needed two overtimes in order to beat the previously unbeaten Pacers 113-110. In the game thread, there was one thing that I really pointed out to watch for, and that was a collapse. The Wolves did just that in the second half, blowing a 23-point lead and two nice quarters to start the game. Luckily, ...
