      Nice NBA doubleheader on TNT tonight

      November 20, 2008 /

      There are just two NBA games tonight, and they’re both good ones. Better yet, they’re both on TNT.

      Pistons (8-3) @ Celtics (10-2), 8 PM ET
      After an 0-2 start to the Allen Iverson Era in Detroit, the Pistons have gone 4-1 over their last five games, which includes wins against the Lakers (in L.A.) and at home against the Cavs. Tonight, they head into Boston to face the defending champs, and hope to avenge a 12-point loss on Nov. 9. Meanwhile, the Celtics have won eight of their last nine, and look every bit as good as they did last season.

      Lakers (8-1) @ Suns (8-4), 10:30 PM ET
      The Kobe/Shaq rivalry is renewed in Phoenix, where the Lakers hope to continue their torrid start to the season. Neither team played last night, so the players should be fresh and ready to go. Shaq has had a nice season thus far; he’s averaging 15.1 points and 7.8 rebounds, while shooting 59% from the field. Meanwhile, the Lakers are doing it with defense. Efficiency-wise, they have the top D in the league.

      Couch Potato Alert: NBA Thursday

      November 12, 2008 /

      With 11 games slated for tonight, there’s bound to be a few good matchups to keep your eye on. Unfortunately, the two most compelling games aren’t on national television.

      Hawks @ Celtics, 7:30 PM ET
      The 6-0 Hawks test their mettle against the 7-1 Celtics in this battle for supremacy in the East. The Hawks are without Josh Smith, and they’re coming off a game last night against the Bulls, so the C’s are the clear favorite in this one. Still, it’ll be interesting to see if Atlanta can keep this one close after not playing very well in Boston in last year’s playoffs.

      Lakers @ Hornets, 8:00 PM ET
      Some think this game might be a preview of the Western Conference Finals, but the Hornets are off to kind of a shaky start and would like to straighten things out against a Laker team that is coming off a big win in Dallas last night.

      Rockets @ Suns, 10:30 PM ET (ESPN)
      Is it just me, or are the Rockets much more interesting to watch now that Ron Artest is on the roster? Phoenix is 6-2 and Houston is 4-3, but both teams, barring injury, should make the playoffs this season. This one will feature a nice matchup between two of the best centers in the game (Yao Ming and Shaquille O’Neal).

      With 11 games on the docket, it’s a good night to have NBA League Pass. Just keep your eye on the scoreboard and flip from exciting finish to exciting finish.

      Yao miserable in Rockets’ loss to Celtics

      November 5, 2008 /

      Check out this line from Yao Ming from last night’s 103-99 loss to Boston: 4-14 from the field, eight points, seven rebounds, zero blocks and zero assists.

      Ron Artest shot 3-16 from the field, but finished with 15 points since he got to the line nine times. (Yao didn’t attempt a free throw.) So between the two of them, they shot 7-30 from the field. Ouch. Is Boston’s defense that good or did these two guys just have a bad night?

      It’s probably a little bit of both.

      Still, the Rockets have to be somewhat encouraged that they lost to the defending champs by only four points even though two of their three best players shot a combined 23% from the floor. Houston looks like a legitimate contender in the West, though their fortunes depend so much on the sustained health of Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming.
