Let's be honest, there wasn't much to be happy about from the dismal 2011-12 Charlotte Bobcats season. The team finished with a horrific 7-59 record in a lock out shortened season but surprisingly, there were some highlights for Charlotte fans to hang their hat on. From Kemba Walker, Gerald Wallace to Cory Maggette, the team […]

I had to consult with Crossover's second in command, Phillip Rossman-Reich, for the video for Orlando Magic day. Apparently, former Magic guard Darrel Armstrong is adored in Magic nation.

Last year when Dwight Howard went down with a back injury, Glen Davis really stepped up in his absence. Davis’ numbers went up and he averaged 19 points a game in the Magic’s first round playoff loss to the Indiana Pacers. With Howard shipped off to L.A., Davis is hoping his streak of solid play […]

"The Spurs are old." "The window is shut." These are common one-line excuses I’ve been hearing since I started blogging on the Spurs in 2004 of why the Spurs aren’t real title contenders amongst younger, ESPN headline-grabbing title favorites.
