The Phoenix Suns lost a legend yesterday - one that should have been bigger than he ever was.
While twitter may be a petri dish drowned in the cess pool of life on most days, it’s also the greatest way to share thoughts about a legend.
News broke yesterday that one of the greatest All-Time Phoenix Suns, forward Connie “The Hawk” Hawkins, has passed away at 75 years old just as the expansion team he led in 1968 enters it’s 50th NBA season.
Cleveland’s starters played well, but the bench fell apart.
While their starters were on the court, the Cleveland Cavaliers dominated. When they were off the court, not so much.
In a 106-102 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Friday, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ starters outplayed the Pacers and lead by double-digits for long stretches of the game. Lead by a 20 point performance from Dwyane Wade, 17 points from Jae Crowder and 15 points for Derrick Rose, Indiana was no much for Cleveland early.
BROOKLYN, N.Y. — It’s only preseason, but the Nets look like a ton of fun.
The Brooklyn Nets improved to 2-0 in the preseason with a 107-88 victory over the Miami Heat Thursday night at Barclays Center. Last year, the Nets didn’t get two wins in a row, preseason or regular season, until March 23.
Danny Green caught fire, Joffrey Lauvergne impressed, and the Spurs put on a dominating performance.
In their preseason opener in Sacramento, the Spurs were outplayed by mostly first- and second-year pros. Friday night’s rematch in San Antonio began with more of the same as the team was outscored 24-15 in the first quarter and struggled to move the ball, create off the dribble, and slow down the Kings attack.
NEW YORK, N.Y. — Just like that, Nets basketball is back… and they were a whole lot of fun.
It’s only one game in the preseason, but this looks like D’Angelo Russell’s team. Behind his lead, the Nets opened the preseason with a 115-107 victory over the New York Knicks, Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. Russell finished with a line of 19 points (in 19 minutes), four assists, one steal, one block and a plus-19 on 7-of-14 shooting.
after his best performance of the preseason too
The Bulls point guard of the future may have to wait two weeks into the future before he can play in a basketball game again.
A 41-point 4th quarter outburst made the difference for Phoenix
Perhaps the Phoenix Suns are saving the defensive improvement for the regular season.
Sixteen Magic players logged minutes in Orlando’s opening preseason contest.
The Orlando Magic took the floor Monday night for the first time this season, opening up their Preseason schedule at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, TN. The Memphis Grizzlies were able to grind out a 92-84 victory over the Magic in what can only be described as a typical early preseason game. There was sloppy play, poor shooting, and tons of guys on both rosters that logged minutes.
Houston’s two stars and some cranked-up D gave the Rockets a win in the first preseason game.
The Houston Rockets looked like a well-oiled machine for three quarters, building a huge lead while the starters were playing, before the reserves let things tighten up bit, but still resulting in a 104-97 Rockets victory.
