What do Earl Watson, Dahntay Jones, Tyler Hansbrough, Troy Murphy and Jeff Foster all have in common? They all love to beat the hell out of their opponents. Troy Murphy was the best defensive rebounder in the entire league last year. Dahntay Jones plays the type of defense that could make a previous[...]
Officially, Indy native Eric Gordon is listed as questionable for tonight’s game against the Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse, according to Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times. Nobody is chomping at the bit to get on the floor in Indianapolis more than Gordon, who was 2007′s Mr. Basketball[...]
This was nothing more than a glorified rec league game. This isn’t said to insult the talented players who suit up for both the Clippers and Timberwolves, or the coaching staffs of either team. Surely there were many displays of athleticism shown on the court tonight that you will never see at[...]
