Fantasy Basketball: the Landry Man Can

Often times your endure few rosters spots of a fantasy basketball aggregation are expendable. Injuries and disability advance to players al of a sudden bustling up and accomplishing some damage.

Some of those players appear and go quickly, so you accept to act fast.

One amateur that is absolutely trending in the appropriate administration in New Orleans Hornets advanced Carl Landry. In his accomplished four amateur he is averaging 18.3 credibility per game. He has denticulate at atomic 14 in all four contests.

Not alone is he scoring, but he has been actual able accomplishing so, cutting 60.0 percent from the acreage and 86.4 percent from the floor. Often times a scoring billow like that comes at a price, in the anatomy of poor acreage ambition or chargeless bandy percentages. This isn't the case here.

Given his career marks in both categories, 53.5 and 77.7 percent respectively, that should not appear as a surprise.

Landry has aswell been hitting the glass, averaging 7.5 boards per bold during the stretch. He has averaged 31.5 account per game, and if he can abide to play abundant account he should abide to produce.

That is the admeasurement of his fantasy goodies, though, as he has averaged 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks. Still, if you can get points, boards, and FG allotment advice that is advantageous to fantasy owners.

Landry has both SF and PF eligibility, which adds to his value. He should be accessible in a appropriate bulk of leagues as he is endemic in about 40.0 percent of Yahoo! and ESPN leagues.

If you are in charge of a quick boost, maybe the Landry Man can...help your band that is.

Chris Andersen vs. JaVale McGee: There's Only Room for 1 Shot-Blocker in Denver

Like a lot of people, I was blindsided by the Nene-JaVale McGee bandy that beatific the Denver Nuggets' allegedly "prized big man" to a afflicted Washington aggregation in barter for a young, high-flying, contrary big.

After the ball of restructuring Nene's accord throughout the summer and the alpha of the lockout, Denver absitively to allotment means with the injury-prone centermost two weeks ago.

I accept the move now, based on the Nuggets' new run-and-gun appearance of breach that sends Ty Lawson and Arron Afflalo sprinting down the cloister and jacking a attempt up in beneath than 15 seconds, or aggravating to get an alley-oop to Kenneth Faried or Chris "Birdman" Andersen.

So, now I pause.

Birdman has been a basic on this Nuggets aggregation for the accomplished several seasons. He's accepting up there in age (now 33), but he still provides that atom off the bench.

Whether it's blocking shots, avaricious rebounds, ablution on people's active or VERY occasionally authoritative a 10-foot jumper, Birdman has been that guy that comes off the bank and gets the army and his teammates pumped.

Unfortunately for him, Denver just brought in a nine-years-younger adaptation of him.

Shot blocker? Check.

High flyer? Check.

Great dunker? Check.

High energy? Check.

Ridiculous antics on the court? Check.

It is alarming how agnate the accomplishment sets of these two are. Now, I can accomplish all the claims I wish that McGee has clearly taken Andersen's job…but let's attending at the numbers in a "this is what McGee did, so this is what Birdman did" blazon of way:

How can you bank THIS?


March 15th vs. Thunder

McGee: absent bold (ineligible; he got traded the day before)

Andersen: played 15 minutes; 5 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block

March 17th vs. Boston, March 19th vs. Dallas

McGee: did not play in either game

Andersen: did not play in either game


Here's area it starts to get interesting. Since that March 19th bold adjoin

Dallas, Denver has played 5 games: vs Detroit, @Utah, @Minnesota, @Chicago and a lot of afresh @Toronto. The amazing numbers are below.

McGee (five-game averages): 25 mpg, 11.4 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 2.2 bpg, .661 FG%, 36% FT
Andersen (five-game averages): 1 mpg, .4 ppg, 0 rpg, 0 bpg, 0 FG%, 50% FT
Birdman played 5 account adjoin Minnesota…and that's it. I don't even bethink seeing him on the bank adjoin Chicago the added night.

Now, I apperceive Faried has taken some of Andersen's account away, but he was still at atomic accepting assimilate the court. Even with Faried, Mozgov and Koufos (who, in my opinion, should be the one alone seeing one minute of arena time a game), Birdman was still seeing a little beneath 15 account per game.
That's not that far off from his career boilerplate of 17.8 mpg.

I apperceive George Karl has a awash frontcourt with Harrington in there as able-bodied as the above players, but you still accept to appearance some adulation for the Bird. He's a fan admired who knows his role and can still be that atom off the bank that Denver needs.

NBA: Charlotte Buys out Boris Diaw; Where Will He Land?

The Bobcats are calmly the league's affliction aggregation and they accept to get bigger at some point. It starts with their adventurous move today, as the aggregation has reportedly bought out Boris Diaw's contract, authoritative him a chargeless agent.

Lately, Diaw's account accept been akin down absolutely a bit and it has about been a authoritativeness that something would appear to Diaw. He wasn't dealt at the deadline, so the cessation seemed to be that the Bobcats would buy out the butt of his contract.

Diaw's arrangement would accept asleep at the end of the division anyway, as he was appointed to accomplish $9 actor for the 2011-12 campaign.

According to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer on Twitter:
"OBSSERVER EXCLUSIVE: Bobcats and Boris Diaw accede in assumption on arrangement buyout. More coming."

Now that Diaw is a freed man, that leaves one question: Area will he go?

There's no agnosticism in my apperception that Diaw active to any adversary that wants him. He's not traveling to go to a bottom-feeder such as the Wizards, Raptors or Hornets, a allotment of added teams. Like any added amateur in the NBA, Diaw wants to win a championship and he's traveling to go to a aggregation that has a adventitious at carrying him a ring.

With that getting said, the Spurs assume to be the a lot of applicable option, as Diaw would be re-united with adolescent Frenchman Tony Parker. Despite averaging just 7.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, Diaw is still a amateur that is able of starting on a acceptable bulk of teams.


San Antonio absolutely doesn't charge Diaw, as they already accept Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter, DeJuan Blair and Matt Bonner. But it is absolutely believable for Diaw to appear in to Popovich's arrangement and accept a acceptable bulk of arena time. There's even the achievability that the Spurs could eventually alpha Diaw at adeptness forward, depending on how able-bodied and quick he picks up on the playbook.

You can aswell never aphorism out the Lakers, a aggregation that has gone afterwards the retired Rasheed Wallace and Gilbert Arenas, who active with the Grizzlies yesterday.

The Lakers charge some frontcourt depth, as Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum can't play over 40 account per game. The aggregation acquired Jordan Hill at the barter deadline, but it charcoal to be apparent as to how abundant he will play in L.A.

Outside of Hill, the Lakers accept Josh McRoberts and Troy Murphy, both of whom accept been balmy disappointments back accession in L.A. this offseason. McRoberts is averaging just 2.3 credibility and 2.8 rebounds per game, while Murphy hasn't done that abundant bigger with averages of 3.4 credibility and 3.6 rebounds.

When activated correctly, Diaw is a solid player. He can do acceptable things with the basketball if he's healthy. He's had a down year this season, but that could change if he were to go abroad with a bigger system. Mike Brown's arrangement could be what he needs.

There's aswell a aggregation like the Celtics, who aswell charge frontcourt depth. Currently, the Celtics' frontcourt consists of the crumbling Kevin Garnett, the injury-prone and knee-less Jermaine O'Neal, Brandon Bass, Greg Stiemsma and the seldom-used Chris Wilcox. Boston absolutely needs to add anyone to the frontcourt if they plan on authoritative the playoffs and accomplishing some accident in the process.

Which aggregation will assurance Boris Diaw?

Boston San Antonio New York Chicago Miami Dallas Added Submit Vote vote to see results

The Celtics could absolutely use anyone like Diaw, who could appear in and anon accept superior account in Doc Rivers' system. The Frenchman absolutely isn't young, but at 29 years old, he's still a amateur that could be advised as allotment of their "future" if they adopted to re-sign him at the end of the season.

Boston could absolutely use a amateur like Diaw. At this point, he's account a attempt for the C's.

Additionally, there's the Knicks, a aggregation who badly needs some frontcourt help. The Knicks are ample in the backcourt, but they are appreciably attenuate at adeptness advanced and center.

Currently, the aggregation has Jared Jeffries, Steve Novak, Josh Harrellson and Jerome Jordan advancing off of the bank abaft Amare Stoudemire and Tyson
Chandler.

Causeless to say, the Knicks aren't traveling to be acceptable a championship anytime anon with back-ups like that in their frontcourt. They charge a amateur like Diaw, who can advice allay burden off of Stoudemire, his aloft assistant in Phoenix.

Diaw would acceptable not command that big of a bacon for the blow of the season, and if the Knicks were to action him a accord Diaw should yield it. He'd acceptable accept a appropriate bulk of arena time in the Big Apple with arch drillmaster Mike Woodson.

A Diaw to New York book seems to plan out able-bodied for both sides. I wouldn't accede the Knicks to be championship contenders, but they are a aggregation that could accomplish some babble if they were to accomplish it to the postseason.

The Chicago Bulls should aswell yield a attending at Diaw, as the Bulls are alienated with the Heat as the conference's best team. Abaft Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah, the Bulls currently account Omer Asik, Taj Gibson and Brian Scalabrine as the back-ups.

So causeless to say, alfresco of Gibson and Asik, there isn't much. That's area Diaw comes in.

He would acceptable not accept as abundant arena time in Chicago as he would in San Antonio or Boston, but the Bulls accept a abundant bigger adventitious at acceptable a championship than those two teams. If Diaw wants to win a championship, Chicago would be the best advantage of the teams listed.

Clearly, the Bulls are a abundant team. They're accomplishing amazing things appropriate now and they are aswell one of the best teams in the NBA, not just the Eastern Conference. A Diaw accession may agitate the team's allure slightly, but he could awfully advice them in the playoffs –– as a affiliate of the Suns during the 2006 postseason, Diaw averaged about 19 points, seven rebounds and 5 assists per game.

I aswell wouldn't aphorism out the Miami Heat, even admitting they active Ronny Turiaf beforehand today. Anything is possible.

As declared above, there's no adventitious that Diaw latches on to a bottom-feeder. He will acceptable go to any adversary that wants him. That's accessible –– Mike Bibby did it endure division if he was bought out by Washington and again active with Miami.

Diaw may not be the best amateur in the world, but there's no agnosticism that he can advice a team's postseason hopes. If he were to go to a contender, he would acceptable not be a amateur on any team, except for maybe the Spurs, but he could become a role amateur and a key contributor to the team's success. The Frenchman absolutely has the adeptness to advice a aggregation win a championship this season. We just accept to delay and see area he'll go.

Can Marc Gasol and Memphis Grizzlies Survive Gauntlet of Tough Games?

Marc Gasol and the Memphis Grizzlies face a defining amplitude in their agenda advancing up. They’ll play 10 of their next 13 amateur adjoin acceptable teams, seven of which will be on the road. This amplitude could go to some breadth to actuate the Grizzlies’ playoff position.

For Gasol, this aeon could go some means in painting his reputation. He could disclose his abidingness adjoin acceptable teams, or added his rap as a amateur who bullies bad teams but can’t footfall up in amateur that matter.

Gasol has struggled to account able-bodied adjoin acceptable teams. Thus far, Gasol is averaging 15.4 credibility per bold while cutting 48.3 percent from the acreage adjoin acceptable teams. He's averaging 11.1 credibility per bold while cutting 38.3 percent from the acreage on the alley adjoin acceptable teams.

The Grizzlies accept done ailing adjoin acceptable teams, abnormally on the road. They're 10-14 adjoin acceptable teams. Memphis has yet to exhausted the Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers. Wins adjoin these teams during the advancing amplitude would advice their case appear playoff time. The Grizzlies are 2-8 adjoin acceptable teams on the road.

Four segments highlight the accessible games. Aboriginal is the back-to-back set adjoin the Los Angeles clubs. Second, the Grizzlies will play their alone back-to-back-to-back set of the division from April 2 to April 4.

Third, the Grizzlies play a boxy back-to-back set adjoin the 2011 NBA Finals teams, traveling to Miami to play the Calefaction afore hasty aback to Memphis to host the Dallas Mavericks. The gauntlet finishes with a alley bout adjoin the Spurs.

How abounding amateur out of the next 13 will the Grizzlies win?
0-5 6-10 10-13 I don't apperceive Submit Vote vote to see results


The Los Angeles Set Could Be Easier than It Looks

At aboriginal glance, some adeptness accept the Grizzlies couldn’t possibly appear out of the weekend with a win adjoin the Lakers or Clippers.

However, these teams are far from unbeatable, abnormally at this point in the season. Clippers players are growing annoyed of Vinny Del Negro. A Clippers antecedent told ESPN.com, "Vinny has absent the team. They don't wish to play harder for him."

This was axiomatic in their accident to the average New Orleans Hornets on Thursday. The Clippers didn’t appearance a actual accomplishment in the clutch, acceptance accustomed players like Jarrett Jack to put them away.

Gasol could yield advantage of lapses by Blake Griffin on aegis to draft up the column for scoring.

The Lakers are actual beatable as they are aggravating to get acclimated to their new point guard, Ramon Sessions. Tony Allen and Mike Conley could yield advantage of lapses in advice amid Sessions and added Lakers, abnormally Kobe Bryant.

Gasol could calmly do bigger than the 0-of-9 achievement he put alternating adjoin the Lakers in aboriginal January.


The Grizzlies Should Be Glad that the Back-to-Back-to-Back Has a Bendable Middle
How able-bodied will Marc Gasol shoot during this stretch?

Worse than 40 percent Amid 40 and 50 percent Amid 50 and 60 percent Bigger than 60 percent I don't apperceive Submit Vote vote to see results

The Grizzlies’ back-to-back-to-back comes at absolutely the amiss time. Accepting it appear in the bosom of this asperous amplitude is harsh. At atomic they accept a bendable adversary advancing beforehand.

That will affluence the alpha of the leash of amateur as they face the Oklahoma City Thunder on April 2. The Grizzlies are abstraction up a abundant animosity with the Thunder. The Thunder won a exciting action with the Grizzlies in the Western Appointment semifinals in seven games.

While the Thunder has won anniversary of the aboriginal three affairs this year, anniversary bold has been close.

The Grizzlies can about-face up the calefaction in the animosity by acceptable this bold in Oklahoma City. They’ll accept to break able from alpha to accomplishment in this one, clashing the endure activity in Oklahoma City, if the Thunder outscored the Grizzlies 32-17 in the fourth division to win.

The Grizzlies go home to the next day face the Golden State Warriors, a aggregation they’ve bedeviled recently.

A nice win adjoin the Warriors, abnormally now that Golden State no best has Monta Ellis, would get them set for a boxy alley bold adjoin the Dallas Mavericks. Dicing an simple aggregation would be just what the Grizzlies charge afore adverse a boxy adversary on the road.

Gasol would abnormally account from the boost, because his struggles adjoin acceptable teams.


The Following Back-to-Back Could Get Ugly

The Grizzlies will face a boxy bold adjoin the Calefaction two canicule afterwards the alley activity with the Mavericks. Gay and Allen will be challenged in aggravating to accommodate LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. Allen will accept to try to accumulate the brawl at the top of the key, banishment Wade and James to alfresco shots.

Something that adeptness be of absorption is the adeptness of Gasol and Zach Randolph to win the action inside. Chris Bosh has done able-bodied for the
Calefaction this season. Meanwhile, Gasol will accept a conflict adjoin the Heat’s center. Gasol has a huge advantage adjoin whoever Miami puts in the post, getting abundant added able of airy and scoring.

Hopefully, Conley can balk Miami’s boxy ambit aegis to augment it central to Gasol and Randolph. If Conley can get again active, it could be a game-changer.
A win adjoin the Calefaction would accomplish the home bold adjoin the Mavericks that abundant easier.

Either way, the Grizzlies could calmly handle the Mavericks at the FedEx Forum.
Gasol did absolutely able-bodied in the aboriginal activity with the Mavericks at home, bottomward 22 credibility and 11 rebounds in a 96-85 beating of Dallas.
With Randolph back, Gasol could do even better, as the mirrored looks could addle Dirk Nowitzki and added Dallas column players.


The Spurs Are a Aggregation the Grizzlies Can’t Mess Up Against
The Grizzlies charge to be absolute adjoin the Spurs. For some reason, the Grizzlies let the earlier Spurs get to them in the aboriginal two meetings, both of which were in Memphis. They attempt ailing and played with little chemistry. Anniversary time, the Grizzlies denticulate beneath than 85 points.

This time around, the Grizzlies accept no allowance for absurdity aback they’ll be aggravating to get aback adjoin the Spurs on the road. The Grizzlies accept had a harder time arena calm on the road. Some mistakes, like abhorrent inefficiency, are harder for the Grizzlies to adumbrate on the road.

Fortunately, they accept Randolph aback with his abhorrent rebounding. He’ll be able to accord them a few added additional affairs to affectation those absent opportunities.

O.J. Mayo will accept to yield bigger shots in San Antonio. In the endure bold adjoin the Spurs, Mayo attempt 3-of-15 en avenue to nine points.


Conclusion: The Grizzlies Must Win Added than Bisected During This Stretch
The Grizzlies are adverse a bound action for accession in the Western Conference. Traveling 5-8 in this amplitude could bead them to eighth place. Meanwhile, success actuality could be a boon, as acceptable eight or nine could forward them to fourth or fifth in the conference.

At the actual least, the Grizzlies charge to win added than bisected of these games. This should be abundant to advance position in the standings. If they win seven of 13, the Grizzlies can eat up the actual agenda adjoin simple teams like the Charlotte Bobcats and New Orleans Hornets. That could bang them up a spot.

Anyway, this about-face in the agenda is important for the Grizzlies to appearance they can exhausted the best teams in the conference. Moreover, it could be the aberration amid accepting home-court advantage for a first-round playoff alternation and not accepting one.

Toronto Raptors: Why Andrea Bargnani Should Play Reduced Minutes

After getting alone for a ages and a half, Andrea Bargnani alternate to activity on March 10.

Since Bargnani's acknowledgment the Toronto Raptors accept acquaint a 2-4 record. On the division as a whole, the aggregation sports a 15-30 mark, which agency the post-Bargnani acknowledgment almanac is absolutely befitting the pace.

While abounding advancing that the acknowledgment of Bargnani would arresting a turnaround to an contrarily afflictive season, the Italian centermost has struggled to acknowledgment to bold speed, and has bootless to accord the Raptors a much-needed boost. His defense, which was heavily acclaimed afore the injury, has been inconsistent, and he has struggled to account efficiently, hitting alone 26 of 63 shots aback his return.

It is harder to accountability Bargnani for these struggles. Rarely does a brilliant amateur acknowledgment to anatomy anon afterwards an continued layoff. But admitting the absolution Bargnani receives for his sub-par play, the actuality charcoal that his assembly is not area the aggregation needs it to be. So what is the solution?

Dewayne Casey has played Bargnani 31.8 account per bold aback abatement him aback into the calendar with a 19 minute about-face on March 10. While it's arbitrary to say that that bulk of time on the attic will briefing the healing European, it does advance a acknowledgment to normalcy.

In the Raps' a lot of contempo game, Andrea was alone on the cloister for 28 minutes. The bold before, he played 39 minutes. Going forward, it seems the boilerplate will end up about in the middle.

My catechism is: is this absolutely necessary?

How should Dewayne Casey handle Bargnani's account for the butt of the season?
Business as accepted Keep about 30 MPG 25 or beneath MPG Submit Vote vote to see results

How continued will it be afore Bargnani plays to his abounding abeyant again? Five added games? 10? This blow of the season?

The band alone has 23 amateur actual this division and is in no crisis of barrier into the postseason. With bound time actual afore the division finale, and the absence of playoff aspirations, why not absolute Bargnani's account added austerely?

As of now, Bargnani is not the asset he was at the alpha of the year. Aback his acknowledgment he has deferred primary scoring duties to Demar DeRozan and Jerryd Bayless, and has larboard airy to the Johnsons (Amir and James) and Aaron Gray.
Though he charcoal the teams best center/power forward, abrogation him on the cloister for added than 25 account a bold comes with abbreviating returns. So why bother?

Allowing Bargnani a little added blow would abate the abeyant for concrete relapse. Even if the affairs of abrasion are minute, the accolade of arena him is so baby such that any accident is too abundant a sacrifice.

And while no aggregation should anytime play to lose, the Raptors are in a position area losses are benign long-term. Appropriate now, the aggregation is positioned to aces fourth in the accessible NBA access draft. This makes the accident all the added pointless. Is a counterproductive win absolutely account any added risk, about small?

It's time to choose Bargnani's minutes. The aggregation is arena carefully by sitting out Jose Calderon appropriate now; afterward clothing with Bargnani is the appropriate move for the aggregation now and in the future.

Boston Celtics Rumors: Why Danny Ainge Must Break Up the Big 3

When Danny Ainge formed the "Big Three" by ambidextrous for approaching Hall of Famers Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to aggregation up with Paul Pierce in the summer of 2007, abounding predicted that the Boston Celtics were destined to become abiding championship contenders.

The revamped Celtics anon bedeviled their aboriginal championship that season, bringing the continued abandoned Garnett and Allen their aboriginal rings.

With Garnett and Allen both at the end of their expiring mega-deals, it’s time for Celtics GM Danny Ainge to end the Boston "Three" Party.

As Garnett and Allen see their abilities appendage off, the Celtics almanac reflects the team’s breakable aptitude level. Boston is floundering as one of the lower playoff seeds in the Eastern Conference, and it appears the aggregation is destined for an aboriginal first-round playoff exit.

Garnett and Allen both are victim to the veteran's anathema as their age continues to abrasion on their athleticism.

Garnett’s averse knees accept bound the already active advanced and Allen isn’t able abundant at age 35 to actualize scoring opportunities for himself anymore, admitting his jump attempt is still one of the a lot of baleful of all time.

Phoenix Suns Playing Their Best Basketball Amid Nash Rumors

Despite ambiguity surrounding the approaching of Steve Nash, the Phoenix Suns are arena their best basketball of the division appropriate now.

The Suns currently sit at 19-22, just three amateur out of eighth abode in the Western Conference playoff picture. The Houston Rockets currently authority the eighth atom at 23-20.

Since a win adjoin the Los Angeles Lakers on February 19, the Suns exhausted the Washington Wizards, absent by two to the Golden State Warriors and ashamed off a five-game home acceptable band (losing on the alley to Oklahoma City, the best in the West, in amid those five).

Had the Suns been able to dust out a boxy home accident to the now Rubio-less Timberwolves, they would be antic an even added absorbing six-game home acceptable streak.

Unfortunately, the Suns absent by three, watching Kevin Love yield over in the fourth quarter.

Even with the boxy accident to addition aggregation aggravating to expedition their way into the playoff picture, the Suns accept been exciting. Especially if you accede that three of the wins during the five-game home win band came adjoin the Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas Mavericks and Memphis Grizzlies.

In their endure 10 contests, the Suns accept a almanac of 7-3. Among all teams in the West in their endure ten games, that’s the best mark, angry with the Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder (all playoff teams).

If you cover the absolute NBA in their endure 10 games, alone the Chicago Bulls accept been bigger at 9-1.

During their streak, the Suns accept been benumbed the hot duke of Jared Dudley. During their endure 10 amateur in which the aggregation went 7-3, Dudley has averaged 18 credibility per game. In those 10 games, Dudley bootless to ability double-figure scoring just already (he denticulate eight in a blast adjoin the Wizards).

The bank assembly for the Suns has aswell improved. Head Coach Alvin Gentry has assuredly seemed to achieve in with a constant additional unit, which includes Shannon Brown, Sebastian Telfair, Markieff Morris and Robin Lopez.

Telfair had a abundant bold in the Monday accident to the Timberwolves, scoring 10 credibility in 16 minutes, including a huge four-point play in the fourth quarter, which he followed up by burglary the entering canyon and laying the brawl in for two more. The army (and a lot of abandoned seats) went basics as the advancement point bouncer denticulate six credibility while demography around no time off the bold clock.

The bank assembly will abide to be huge for the Suns if they achievement to accomplish a playoff advance by befitting Nash afterwards the barter deadline.
Currently, there are three teams (excluding the Rockets) that abstracted the Suns from the eighth berry in the West.

The Portland Trail Blazers, 20-22, are disturbing mightily appropriate now. In their accomplished 10 games, they accept a 3-7 record. Abundant of that however, can be contributed to their boxy schedule.

Nonetheless, afterwards a 137-97 beating of the San Antonio Spurs on February 21, the Blazers accept absent to Denver, Miami, Minnesota (twice), Boston and Indiana. Since the blast of the Spurs, the Blazers accept alone managed to exhausted the New Orleans Hornets and Washington Wizards, who accept a accumulated almanac of 19-64.

The next aggregation continuing in the way of the Suns’ playoff hopes is the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Of the teams in the playoff hunt, who do you anticipate will accomplish the playoffs?

At 22-21, the T-Wolves currently authority the amount nine atom in the West, just abaft the Rockets. But a contempo accident may accept attempt down their playoff hopes: the season-ending abrasion to Ricky Rubio(iron on patches).

Although I don’t agnosticism for a additional that Kevin Love could backpack this aggregation to a playoff berry after the agitative adolescent guard, relying on Luke Ridnour for bendability may be too abundant to ask.

Finally, the endure aggregation in the way of Suns' playoff dreams is the Utah Jazz. At 20-21, the Jazz are 5-5 in their endure 10 games, but they too had a boxy schedule. They even managed to exhausted the Heat during that 5-5 stretch, no baby accomplishment for a aggregation on the alfresco searching in at a playoff spot.
Their next bold comes at home against…you estimated it, the Suns.

With about two months larboard in the approved season, it would be absurd to alarm this bold a must-win for the Suns. But at the aforementioned time, this bold comes one day afore the March 15 NBA barter deadline, and you accept to anticipate that a win may advance to added playoff babble in Phoenix.

I would not accept even dreamed of adage this two months, or even a ages ago, but the Suns are arena able-bodied abundant appropriate now to bastard into the playoffs. If the organization’s big plan is to accumulate Nash with the hopes that he re-signs with the club, there’s still a adventitious the Suns could shock their fanbase and accomplish a playoff push.

If the Suns accept to barter Nash afore the deadline, so be it. But if they accomplish the accommodation to accumulate Nash through the final year of his contract, authoritative the playoffs has to be the goal. Even if the Suns alone bastard in as an eight berry and get addled by the Thunder.

Rajon Rondo Trade Rumors Tracker: Latest Buzz Around Celtics Star

You would think, accustomed the Boston Celtics' age, that the endure affair they would wish to do is barter abroad their adolescent superstar.

But the absoluteness is, Rajon Rondo would accord the Celtics a abundant bigger acknowledgment than any of the "Big Three."

That's why letters alike endure anniversary that the Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers were talking about swapping Rondo and Pau Gasol.

He's averaging 13.9 points, 10.0 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals, so it's no admiration why. He aswell just fabricated his third career All-Star team.

If a Celtic is traveling to be moved, it's acceptable traveling to be Ray Allen at this point. Paul Pierce is owed $32 actor over the next two seasons, and Kevin Garnett is an crumbling big man.

Golden State Warriors:Curry's Ankle Injury Means Monta Ellis Isn't Going Anywhere

Back if Stephen Curry was healthy, the achievability of the Warriors trading Monta Ellis afore the NBA barter borderline was about a certainty. But now, with Curry acutely aggressive a alternating abate abrasion at the accomplished old age of 23, affairs accept changed.

Without Curry and Ellis, the Warriors accept nothing, which agency they can't barter Ellis until they accept a added complete compassionate of the admeasurement of Curry's injury. And unfortunately, with the barter borderline looming just a few canicule away, they ability not get abundant time to accomplish that assessment. So, for now, Ellis isn't traveling anywhere.

For a while, it looked as admitting Golden State didn't charge both Ellis and Curry. In his aboriginal two seasons with the Warriors, Curry bankrupt out, averaging 18.0 credibility and 5.9 assists per bold from 2009-2011. Ellis, currently the NBA's ninth-leading scorer, became dispensable for the Warriors and a prime ambition for teams searching for a 26-year-old bouncer who's averaged 19.6 credibility and 4.4 assists per bold throughout his career.

But then, in backward February, Curry sprained a bond in his appropriate foot—the aforementioned bottom he'd afflicted at the alpha of the division that kept him out for two weeks. He alternate on Saturday adjoin the Mavericks, alone to leave the bold afterwards 16 account because he formed the aforementioned ankle.

The admeasurement of Curry's abrasion is alien at the time (it's classified as "mild"), but seeing as this is the third affair he's had with the abate in this strike-shortened season, things aren't searching good. And now that the Warriors don't accept Curry—at atomic for the time being—how can they let go of Ellis?

It's too bad, because the absorption in Ellis was high. SFGate.com's Rusty Simmons listed 19 teams that would be absorbed in a swap. But there's no way the Warriors can complete a deal—unless a phenomenon happens and Curry's abate heals itself assuredly overnight.

LA Lakers: Why Coach Mike Brown Thinks Kobe Bryant Is the Obvious MVP

Despite his aggregation advancing off of back-to-back losses to the Pistons and Wizards, Mike Brown is accessible to accumulate talking Kobe Bryant and MVP awards.

Why all the "KB4MVP" talk? Because if Kevin Love is in the conversation, Brown wants to ensure his guy is abreast the top of the conversation. Seriously.

From ESPN LA's Ramona Shelburne (via Iamagm), Brown had some absorbing quotes about the acumen abaft his MVP advance for his brilliant player:

He absolutely should be complex in the MVP talks. I anticipate it's amusing that he's not. You allocution about aggregate new in a beneath division and everybody adage he's 85 years old or whatever they're adage and he's arch the alliance in scoring.

Bryant is not just arch the alliance in scoring; he's accomplishing it in a beneath division with a agenda from hell while aggressive abrasion and arena in his 16th NBA season. No one can abjure Bryant's plan belief or the plan he puts in anniversary offseason to be able to play at the akin that he does anniversary night.

Brown abundant on why he has been so afflicted with Bryant's season:
It's everything. I mean, who plays with the injuries that he's played with? Who puts up the numbers that he puts up? Who goes through the bulk of changes that accept happened to his aggregation in the beneath season? Nobody. Name one getting that has played with the injuries and done what he's done in the history of the game. Not in the endure four years or three years, in the history of the game.
When Bryant went down with a broken bond in his wrist during the preseason, I don't anticipate anyone could accept predicted that he would be the league's arch scorer 39 amateur in. What's added absorbing is that he hasn't absent a individual bold this year.

While Bulls advanced Luol Deng—after disturbing a ligament—is advertent (understandably) comatose for a few amateur because of the affliction from his own ailing wrist, Bryant has played through the pain, abnegation to use it as an alibi on bad cutting nights.

When he bankrupt his adenoids and suffered a blow as a aftereffect of Dwyane Wade's harder All-Star Bold foul, he still didn't absence a beat.
He is boxy as nails. No one is aggravating to altercation that.

Brown has consistently been accepted to aboveboard acclaim his superstars. We all saw it from his canicule in Cleveland with LeBron James. That's why it was absorbing to see how he compared what Bryant is accomplishing this division to what James did in his MVP seasons in Cleveland:

You allocution about two above injuries that this guy [Bryant] has had, that he's arena through, that would've alone guys for assorted games, if not a lot of of the division or the accomplished season. Then you're talking about LeBron at 24 or 25 if humans anticipate he should be active and jumping and arena 47 account a game.
Brown continued:

There are a lot of altered affairs that Kobe is ambidextrous with that LeBron did not accept to accord with if we were together. For me that's what makes this year, beating on wood, so far a actual appropriate year for a guy like Kobe Bryant.

It is appealing crazy if you stop and accede that Bryant is accomplishing all of this at 33. During All-Star Weekend, he was filmed in the locker allowance above-mentioned to the bold talking about his aboriginal All-Star memories. It was a bit of a absoluteness analysis to apprehend him say he aggregate a locker allowance with Mitch Richmond, Karl Malone and Vin Baker that year.

Comments like that serve as a admonition of just how abundant earlier Bryant is than the blow of the league's superstars.

No one can adjudicator Bryant's affection for the bold that he plays, nor can they beating his alertness to do whatever he can to extend his arena days.

One affair that stood out from the commodity was Brown calling Bryant efficient.
He's able with it. He has this aggregation sitting in a appealing acceptable position. And I absolutely accept this team, with a guy like that, can be actual alarming appear playoff time. There's no agnosticism in my apperception that Kobe Bryant should be mentioned in the MVP talk.

Bryant has been a lot of things this season, but able isn't one of them. Averaging 24 acreage ambition attempts per game, Bryant is cutting 43 percent from the attic and just 28 percent from above the arc.

Of course, this is partially accompanying to the injuries, but Bryant's attempt alternative hasn't been the finest this year. Of the abounding means to call and acclaim Bryant's game, the appellation "efficient" would be afterpiece to the basal than the top. Still, it's nice to see a drillmaster aback his amateur so strongly.

Shelburne writes that the Bryant MVP allocution came up because Brown had been watching ESPN commentators allocution about Kevin Love getting in the MVP chase because he had the Timberwolves at .500.
That's nice timing, with the Lakers demography on the Wolves in Minnesota this evening. Kobe will be athirst for a win, but will he aswell be acquisitive for a account game?

New York Knicks vs. Milwaukee Bucks: Sizing Up Brandon Jennings and Jeremy Lin

Jeremy Lin will be activated already afresh as he faces addition top-tier point bouncer in Brandon Jennings if the New York Knicks appointment the Milwaukee Bucks.

Jennings is in his third NBA division and accepting the best year of his abbreviate career. He has agitated the Bucks in the absence of Andrew Bogut and accustomed himself as one of the league's best scorers.

Lin is technically arena through his green season, but has alone apparent allusive activity over the accomplished month. He has afraid anybody with his athleticism and become a common awareness overnight.

As New York looks to exact animus on a Milwaukee aggregation that ashamed them at home aback in January, the Lin-Jennings antagonism will be the a lot of scrutinized of any on the court.

Jennings torched New York for 36 credibility the aboriginal time around, so Lin's adeptness to battling his achievement will play a basic agency in free the aftereffect of the game.

Jeremy Lin: Why New York Knicks Must Bench Linsanity

Jeremy Lin have to be benched.

Ever back Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire alternate to the New York Knicks starting lineup, the Lin Dynasty hasn’t been the aforementioned acceptable machine. Mike D’Antoni needs to sit the phenom point bouncer for the account of the team.

However, a bargain role wouldn’t aftereffect in the end of Linsanity—it would amplify it.

Mark Berman of the New York Post appear that if D’Antoni was questioned about his alertness to boggle with the starting 5 and even accompany Lin off the bench, the arch drillmaster answered:

It could [change]...I’m aggravating to acquisition the appropriate combos. But it’s got to be bent over time. It’s not traveling to be over one game. Not traveling to just bandy humans beneath the bus for one or two games. Over a breadth of time, if they prove they charge to be out there, they’ll be out there.



And authoritative a change—moving Baron Davis to the starting lineup—would after a agnosticism be the appropriate move. Davis isn’t the bigger player, but the actuality is that he fits bigger on the cloister with 'Melo and Amar’e than Lin does.

Anthony and Stoudemire are scorers. So is Lin. That isn’t a aggregate that will advance to success—ever.

Davis has apparent added of a pass-first mindset this division than Lin, and that's absolutely what the Knicks charge from their starting point bouncer appropriate now. In his six amateur this season, "Boom" is averaging just 17.1 attempt attempts per 48 account compared to Lin’s 20.8. Davis is aswell averaging 15.4 assists per 48 account next to Lin’s 11.6.

He isn’t the bigger player, but Davis is the bigger distributor. And again, that’s what the Knicks charge next to 'Melo and Amar’e—not a penetrator that’s able of putting the brawl in the basket.

So area does that leave Lin? It allows the atomic ball-handler to appear off the bank as a high-energy attic accepted for Linstant offense.

Alongside J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Steve Novak and Jared Jeffries, New York would after a agnosticism avowal the best bank in the NBA. Instead of getting belted while disturbing to acquisition his abode in an breach with two of the league’s a lot of accomplished scorers, Lin would be chargeless to run and run and run—the adeptness that afire Linsanity in the aboriginal place.

Smith is a scorer, Shumpert is a slasher, Novak is a ballista and Jeffries is a hustler. Everyone on the Knicks bank knows their role and excels aural it. Because of that, such a alteration for Lin would be seamless.
Should the NY Knicks bank Lin?

The appellation "benched" carries added abrogating connotations than any added in the apple of sports. In this accurate case, though, that acumen couldn’t be added from the truth.

New York will win annihilation if it continues to play with its accepted rotation. If D’Antoni swaps the roles of Lin and Davis, again not alone will the Knicks agreement Spike Lee’s admired Harvard alum the Sixth Man of the Year award, but a affecting allure addition will yield their play to addition level.

Jeremy Lin: 4 NBA Guards New York Knicks Star Is Already Better Than

I am not one of those humans who accept absolutely overreacted to Jeremy Lin's actualization in New York, but there a few arresting names he's already surpassed on the point bouncer aliment chain

That said, Lin is a superior player, but he allowances abundantly from Mike D'Antoni's "seven abnormal or less" system. He isn't so abundant of a arrangement amateur that he wouldn't be able in any added system, but after this absolute match, there would be no Linsanity.

Because of this, you will not see the brand of Derrick Rose, Chris Paul or Deron Williams on this list, as these players accept amateur that construe to any arrangement and any team.

Lin has some holes in his bold that acquaintance may not fix. He does not accept abundant foot-speed, and while his distill moves can adumbrate that on offense, he gets apparent by quick guards on the arresting end.

This will never change, but to add some abundance to Lin's fans, the aforementioned was the case for Steve Nash, and he's headed to the Hall of Fame. After a while, Nash just abdicate aggravating on the added end altogether.
I don't adduce Lin should accept that philosophy, but he can and will accept a solid career after getting a arresting stalwart.

Lin is not yet a abundant shooter, but this can absolutely be addressed. He shoots alone 31 percent from distance. Yield a attending at what Jason Kidd acclimated to be like as a shooter, and accede the actuality that he not alone is a solid spot-up ballista now, he is third best in three-point acreage goals made.
Lin can add this to his game, and if he does, he will yield the next footfall in his development.

Finally, the turnovers have to be addressed. Abundant of it is acquaintance and the appeal of the system. This could be remedied with alliteration and years in the league, but it absolutely keeps him below some of the games' best at this point.

Jeremy Lin's Turnover Problems Mean More Run for Baron Davis

The Linsanity of the accomplished ages has assuredly subsided. Now it’s time for the New York Knicks to focus on how to win a playoff bold for the aboriginal time aback 2001.

Point bouncer Jeremy Lin is acutely aces of getting the amateur afterwards averaging 21 credibility and 8.4 assists in February, but that doesn’t beggarly he should be arena every moment of every game. The time is now to absolutely absorb Baron Davis into the rotation.

In Sunday’s crushing OT accident to the Boston Celtics, Lin absent 6-of-7 shots in overtime and always let Rajon Rondo draft appropriate by him. He played 16 account beneath than Rondo and was acutely not in the aforementioned appearance physically. It was aswell addition six about-face bold for the 23-year-old. Admirers accumulate assured the about-face affair to improve, but nine amateur with six or added turnovers in beneath than a ages is unacceptable.


Lucky for the Knicks, they accept a advancement added than able of bushing in during crisis time. He aswell just so happens to accept 46 amateur of postseason experience. While the 32-year-old Davis isn’t traveling to win your aggregation a championship as a starter, he is an outstanding advancement at this point in his career.

Head drillmaster Mike D’Antoni has boring eased Davis aback into the calendar afterwards missing the aboriginal two months with a aback injury. On Sunday he played a season-high 21 account and didn’t disappoint, finishing with eight credibility and seven assists while conduct 2-of-3 shots from downtown.
When asked by Al Iannazzone of Newsday.com about potentially closing the bold with Davis, D’Antoni gave a actual advancing answer:

Mike D'Antoni said he's afraid with Lin, but he didn't aphorism out application Baron Davis at the end of amateur if Lin struggles like that. "Maybe," he said. "We'll see. I'm adequate traveling with Jeremy. I anticipate at the end of games, Jeremy finds a way to be positive, and he was."

"Jeremy's traveling to accomplishment amateur appropriate now. He's traveling to alpha games. And again we'll see what happens as we go forward. But I'm adequate with him."

Who Should Be Arena Down The Stretch?

Sounds like he has entertained the idea, which is a absolute assurance for Knicks fans. It may feel like Lin has been about forever, but he has still alone been the amateur for 13 amateur in his career. The allowance for absurdity on an 18-19 aggregation is baby and they don’t accept time to abide the growing pains of Lin.

Solution: Accumulate Lin as the starter, while blurred his account to about 28 account a game. Play Davis for 20-to-25 account including crisis time in the fourth to accomplish abiding the turnovers are basal and Carmelo Anthony can accept the brawl in a position to account with the bold on the line.
The Knicks are loaded with talent—almost to a accountability now—and don’t charge a ballsy achievement from Lin every night.

Jeremy Lin: Where Does the New York Knicks Point Guard Rank Among Starters?

The adventure of the endure few weeks has been the ascendance of New York Knicks point bouncer Jeremy Lin. After advancing into the alliance undrafted and unwanted, he accustomed a starting job in New York and has flourished. As a starter, Lin is averaging 22.4 credibility per game, 8.8 assists per bold and 2.5 steals per game.

It's true, Lin has alone put up these numbers for 12 games, but his bold seems to accept translated actually well, even adjoin some of the bigger teams in the Association. The abandoned barring would be the Miami Heat game, but you can't adjudicator a amateur off of just accepting shut down by the best aggregation in basketball.

So area does Lin stand?

And a disclaimer, I am a Chicago Bulls fan, so I feel like I don't accept the bent that a Knicks fan would have. This is my attack at objectivity, so don't alarm me a Knicks adjudicator if I'm not a Knicks fan.
To alpha things off, let's name point guards advanced of him. This accumulation is the aristocratic akin point guards that Lin acutely is not as acceptable as. DO NOT yield this as me baronial those point guards, that's a actually abstracted issue:

1. Derrick Rose: the MVP.
2. Chris Paul: the attic general.
3. Deron Williams: the complete package.
4. Russell Westbrook: the activating scorer.

No amount how able-bodied Lin has played appropriately far, he is acutely not at the aforementioned akin as these four guys. After that, however, you can alpha to accomplish a case for Lin adjoin abounding of the added abundant guards in the league. Again, I can't reiterate enough, I am not baronial these added guys, I'm just calling them out in the adjustment that they pop into my head.
Is Jeremy Lin a top 10 point bouncer RIGHT NOW?

The Second Tier
5. Rajon Rondo
At this point, you can't say that Lin is bigger than Rondo. There is no catechism that Rondo is a far above passer than Lin; that is the one affair you can say for certain. On the added hand, Lin has accurate himself to be a abundant added ascendant scorer.
But the affair that puts Rondo unattainably advanced is that he is a far above apostle to Lin. No question, you yield Rondo in this case.

6. Steve Nash
This is in actuality a actually abundant allegory back both players play the aforementioned roles in agnate systems. While Lin has been great, Steve Nash is just ageless. He's averaging 14 credibility per bold and 11 assists per bold on 54 percent shooting, 40 percent from three and alone 32 account per game.
I candidly don't even apperceive how a amateur could possibly play breach added calmly as a nonathletic point guard. Actuality is, Lin hasn't hit Nash akin yet.

7. Tony Parker
I fabricated the aberration of abrogation Tony Parker off my All-Star bold predictions, and I will be quick not to let that appear again. Parker has been actually accustomed the San Antonio Spurs as of late.
In his endure 10 games, Parker has averaged 24.7 credibility per bold on 47.8 percent cutting to go forth with a antic 9.0 assists per game.
The craziest part? 10 beeline wins. Those are MVP numbers. Lin is not Tony Parker.

8. Kyrie Irving
Irving has appear out of the aboideau and accustomed himself as one of the bigger point guards in the alliance already. Even admitting he is not as physically able as the Derrick Roses and Russell Westbrooks of the world, Irving has developed already into a activating scorer who can exhausted players off the distill or abuse them with his jump shot.
While Lin is talented, you can't say that he's the complete amateur offensively that Irving has apparent himself to be. Defensively, they're both adequately abominable so it's harder to compare.

The Rest
At this point, we can activate putting Lin in the conversation.
Would I yield him over John Wall? Wall is added physically able but Lin has bigger results. Would I yield him over Steph Curry? It's harder to analyze back Curry has been off the cloister so much, but apparently at this point. Would I yield him over Kyle Lowry or Brandon Jennings? Because of his adeptness numbers, probably.

So what the Knicks are ambidextrous with is a amateur who you could accomplish a accepted case is a top-10 amateur appropriate now. I don't affliction if his assembly cape off, the actuality that you can already alpha talking about him a part of the top 10 credibility in the NBA is an absurd feat.

Can he move up this list? Able-bodied I anticipate he will eventually move accomplished Nash if he curtails or retires. At the aforementioned time, Wall has the raw adeptness to move accomplished him. So at this point, you'd accept to say that this is Lin's ceiling.

Even if this is Lin's ceiling, Knicks admirers accept to feel acceptable about the fate of the authorization affective advanced with two of the best scorers in the league—and a top-10 point guard.
