CC Video of the day: Breaking down the Spurs’ winning streak
0 comments by Jeff Garcia on 3/31/2014
The San Antonio Spurs are on an impressive winning streak currently standing at 17 games in a row. But what it all mean? Does it really matter in the end especially for a team like San Antonio?
Bloguin’s own Project Spurs recently broke down the Spurs’ winning streak on their TV show and made it clear – this winning streak for a veteran team like the Spurs means nothing.
From who is the MVP during the streak to when it might all end, check out the Project Spurs’ panel as they break it all down.
Video: Pacers’ West gets into scuffle with Cavaliers’ Dellavedova, Hawes

The Pacers surprisingly lost to the Cavaliers and it seem frustration may have mounted with David West.
Late in the fourth quarter, with the Cavs handling the Pacers, West was under the rim trying to score 2-points and got tangled up with Matthew Dellavedova and Spencer Hawes.
Hawes stepped in to defend his teammate seeing how West threw an elbow at Dellavedova and the two were separated.
CC Video of the day: JaVale McGee rides a scooter. Why?

Welp, ladies and gentlemen, here is a video of Nuggets’ JaVale McGee riding a supermarket scooter because you know, why not?
I guess being injured for most of the season, McGee had to find something to do.
Sixers finally win!
0 comments by Philip Rossman-Reich
They did it. The Sixers finally won.
Philadelphia snapped an NBA record-tying 26-game losing streak with an impressive and energetic 123-98 win over Detroit at Wells Fargo Center. Thaddeus Young and Michael Carter-Williams each scored 21 points and Henry Sims added 16 points. It all finally seemed to work.
This was the 76ers’ first win since Jan. 29 in Boston. That was before the trades that sent Spencer Hawes to Cleveland and Evan Turner to Indiana. That was exactly two months ago. That is a long time to go without a win.
The Sixers though are still two games ahead of the Bucks for the best odds at winning the lottery.
Blazers open voting on court design to fans
0 comments by Philip Rossman-Reich on 3/29/2014
Crowdsourcing is a pretty popular way for teams to engage with their fans. The Mavericks did it with their possible jerseys in the coming years. Northwestern opened up voting on their new court’s design — the court that won, did not actually get chosen. The Blazers are the latest to go the crowdsourcing route. Portland’s […]
CC Video of the day: Heat’s Bosh with the nice put-back slam

The Pistons gave a lesson to those in attendance for at last night’s game versus the Heat on how not boxing out opposing players can lead to easy dunks. Case in point – Chris Bosh waltzing into the lane versus Detroit for the easy put-back dunk.
Seriously, two Pistons players were right under the rim and didn’t even bother to box out Bosh or any Heat player.

No endorsements for Mark Jackson?
0 comments by Philip Rossman-Reich on 3/28/2014
The Warriors have fallen short of expectations this year as they settle into sixth place in the Western Conference. The Mark Jackson and Stephen Curry-led group has struggled at times offensively even with the addition of Andre Iguodala and Andrew Bogut’s return to health. That has been the big surprise. The Warriors have won 10 […]
CC Video of the day: Spurs’ mascot loses his eyes… literally
0 comments by Jeff Garcia
Hopefully the Spurs mascot, “The Coyote,” gets hazard pay because he definitely earned it versus the Nuggets in San Antonio.
During the game, Denver’s Aaron Brooks went chasing after the ball out of bounds only to have the Coyote standing in his way. The result was some “road kill” as Brooks barreled over him resulting in the mascot losing his eyes… literally. (h/t Project Spurs)
Magic Johnson is definitely not the answer

Sixers tie NBA record losing streak
0 comments by Philip Rossman-Reich
Well, they did it. The Sixers tied an NBA record with 26 straight losses. The 26th came in Thursday’s 120-98 loss to the Rockets in Houston. Philadelphia can set the record with a 27th straight loss Saturday night in Philadelphia against Detroit.
Bob Knight claims NBA ‘raping’ college basketball
0 comments by Philip Rossman-Reich on 3/27/2014
Any time you throw the word “rape” around it is loaded and usually uncalled for. Bob Knight should know this better than anyone. Yet, he did it again. In no way should Knight have used the term in this context. All flak he receives for the comparison of a professional sports league taking the best […]

Video: ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith gets emotional over the Knicks

The Knicks were looking like they found their groove. Winning eight straight games, and even hiring Phil Jackson to the front office. Then they fell apart versus the Lakers, as LA defeated Knicks. Yes the lowly Lakers beat the Knicks.
So leave it to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith (devoted Knicks fan) to go on air and lose his mind over NY and their bi-polar play all season long.
