NBA Roundup: Cleveland Does Not Rock, Orlando’s Magic

We hope you spent New Year’s Eve partying like Snooki. We’re nearly midway through the season and have seen a lot of action lately as the good teams are beginning to distinguish themselves from the terrible teams.

Nothing is as depressing as the Cleveland Cavaliers at this point. After watching LeBron take his talents to South Beach, the Cavs have struggled mightily. After starting out with a respectable 7-9 record, they have lost 21 of their past 22 games. They just lost Anderson Varejao to an injury for the season, and they just hit rock bottom when they got absolutely shattered by the Lakers in Los Angeles by a final score of 112-57. Wow. That’s pathetic.

On the flip side, the Orlando Magic have been rolling since a pair of trades shook up their roster by bringing in Gilbert Arenas, Hedo Turkoglu, and Jason Richardson while jettisoning Rashard Lewis and Vince Carter. They are winners of nine of their last 10 games including wins over San Antonio, Boston, New York, and Dallas.

Two top performers of the past week were Atlanta’s Jamal Crawford and Philadelphia’s Jrue Holiday. Jamal has been on fire lately, averaging over 27 points and 4 assists per game since the New Year. He’s been a key reason why the Hawks are still amongst the elite in the East and is starting to put up gaudy numbers in his contract year. The 20 year old Holiday has been a force lately for the surging Sixers as they have found themselves battling for a playoff spot in the East. Jrue has been the difference for the team this season and has put up 19 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals per game over the past week and helped lead the team to a stunning win over the Chicago Bulls at home.

For those of you looking for a few good NBA games to watch this weekend, check out Dallas heading south to San Antonio on ESPN Friday night, the Heat taking their talents to Chicago Saturday night on NBA TV, Melo and the Nuggets at the Spurs on ESPN Sunday night, and Orlando at Boston and Oklahoma City at Lakers on TNT Monday night.

NBA Roundup: The Australian Assassin’s Creed – Stay Out The Paint!

As first semester comes to a close, students around the country wrap up final exams and head home for the holidays. What better way to celebrate the season than by hitting up a few Christmas parties and rocking out with a top flight NBA game on in the background? As we hit the middle of December, a number of pre-season favorites are starting to hit full stride.

The Boston Celtics are the hottest team in the land, winners of their past 11 straight. The fabled Miami Thrice are starting to plow through the competition and have won a season best 10 straight heading into New York tomorrow night. And right on their heels are the new look Chicago Bulls, who have quietly won seven in a row and are making it known that they are the only team in the Central Division that shouldn’t be considered a D-League squad.

Carlos Boozer is finally starting to get his feet wet in Chi-City as he’s helped add a new dimension to their team that is the primary reason for the big win streak. He’s averaging over 17 and 10 over the past week including his last two monster games, a 22 and 18 night vs. Indiana and a 34 and 12 game in a beatdown in Toronto. Our other player spotlight goes to Milwaukee’s Andrew Bogut. The Australian Assassin has been crushing people in the paint over the past week, putting up a gaudy line of 17.6 points, 13.4 rebounds, 4.4 blocks, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steal, and 5.3 Fosters shotgunned during pre-game. Wow.

This weekends must see basketball gets started with a bang Friday night on ESPN when D-Wade and his sidekick buddies invade New York and put their streak on the line against the team that LeBron was too scared to make his own. Stay tuned to ESPN following that game as Phoenix heads into Dallas to take on the red hot Mavs. Also on Friday night for those of you who have the NBA package or are six drinks deep at the bar, check out the battle of the league’s two best point guards, as Deron Williams squares up against Chris Paul and the Hornets in New Orleans.

NBA Roundup: When The Man Hits In Your Eye, That’s Amare

Round One of The LeBron Hate Parade 2010 is in the books as he and his buddies shattered the Cavs in a demoralizing 118-90 victory that was nowhere near as close as the score indicates. The Heat are finally clicking and have won five straight heading into a west coast trip with stops in Utah, Golden State, and Sacramento. The smart money would suggest that the wins will keep piling up.

The two hottest teams in the league right now are the Dallas Mavericks and the New York Knicks, while the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings have only won once in their past 10 games. Ouch. Amare Stoudemire just won his second Eastern Conference Player of the Week Award and has vaulted up into the top 3 in scoring with 25.3 points per game. Amare has carried the Knicks back to respectability and is averaging 34.2 points, 11 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.2 blocks over his past five games – all Knick wins.

In the West, the Phoenix Suns have struggled without the new Knick captain and have wavered out of the gates to an 11-10 start in the desert. However, missing the big man hasn’t slowed down Steve Nash, who is averaging 17 points, 14 assists, and 3 rebounds per game over the past week – including a 20 point, 17 assist performance in a win over Washington at home.

This weekend has its fair share of excellent games on tap, with the Lakers at Chicago and the Magic at Utah on Friday night. Saturday’s top game features Amir Johnson’s return to Detroit as the Raptors take on the Pistons with 11th place in the conference on the line. Finally, a Sunday matinee that is sure to be interesting will take place at the Garden as Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets head to New York for what could be his last time playing there as a visitor.

NBA Roundup: LeBrocalypse Now!

As the NBA season hits December, a lot of highly anticipated storylines are beginning to play out. Simply put, nothing is bigger than LeBron‘s first trip back to the city that he shat on when tonight’s theater of vengeance unfolds on TNT. LeBron brings his underwhelming 11-8 Miami Heat to his former kingdom where Cavs owner Dan Gilbert will finally get to see his rabid fan base pounce on the One that turned his back on his hometown.

Aside from LeBrocalypse Now, the big stories from the past week include the recent four game losing streak by the Lakers, Dallas and Utah climbing up the Western standings, and the rejuvenated Knicks winning seven of their last eight. The Clippers‘ Blake Griffin and the Knicks‘ Landry Fields were named Western and Eastern Conference Rookies of the Month, respectively, and the Pistons have received interest from investors in Abu Dhabi and Qatar to buy the team. What a crazy week!

This week’s player spotlights will focus on Oklahoma City‘s Russell Westbrook and Minnesota‘s Darko Milicic. Westbrook has been sick nasty this week, averaging nearly 30 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals per game as he has crept into the top five in the NBA in scoring and is battling his buddy, Kevin Durant, for a stake in the MVP race. The comic figure Darko has been a surprise this season, leading the NBA in blocked shots and just finished a week averaging 17 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks per game. Not too shabby for the guy who was picked by Detroit ahead of Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Chris Kaman, Kirk Hinri…..okay, we all get the point.

What to watch for this weekend in the NBA is obviously headlined by tonight’s battle in Cleveland. This weekend you can catch two great games on ESPN Friday Night when Chicago heads to Boston and Dallas invades Utah. Sunday night features Chris Paul versus Tony Parker as the Hornets and Spurs duke it out for a top spot in the West.

NBA Roundup: Thanks For Sexting, Tony!

Welcome to the Thanksgiving Edition of the COED weekly NBA roundup where we will be focusing on all of those who deserve thanks this holiday weekend. Let’s start it off with a big Thanksgiving Thanks to Eva Longoria from the fans of San Antonio. Unfortunately, her brief three-year marriage to Spurs star point guard Tony Parker came to an end this week, but not at the expense of the Spurs win-loss record. Perhaps the subject of Tony’s sexting deserves the credit for his inspired play of late as the Spurs find themselves on an 11-game winning streak and a franchise best 12-1 record to start the season.

Another big Thanksgiving Thanks goes out to Hornets GM Dell Demps from the city of New Orleans, who made an offseason deal for Trevor Ariza and this week sent Jerryd Bayless and Peja Stojakovic‘s absurd contract to Toronto for solid backup point guard Jarrett Jack and underrated big man David Anderson (and also the albatross known as Marcus Banks‘ contract). These two moves have made the team better this year as they have soared out to an 11-2 start and have calmed Chris Paul‘s desire to be traded to New York or Orlando to play with his big man buddies.

The final Thanksgiving Thanks is for Pat Riley from the fans of Minnesota. He dumped everyone on his roster in order to clear enough cap space to form the self proclaimed Big Three and convinced Minnesota’s David Kahn to take Michael Beasley‘s $5M contract off his hands for basically nothing. Now, The Beez is finally hitting his stride as he’s in the top 15 in the NBA in scoring, averaging 22 points per game. Meanwhile, the Heat just got stomped out at home by the Pacers to fall to 8-6 on the year, one game worse than last year (when they were 9-5 after 14 games).

As for this weekend, there are some great games coming at you on Friday night. Take your pick between Dallas at San Antonio, Chicago at Denver, Lakers at Utah, or New Orleans at Portland. Or you can wait until Saturday night when the Miami Thrice take their talents to Dallas to square off with Dirk and Cuban’s Cronies. And I know it’s a bit early, but mark your calendars now as next Thursday, December 2 marks LeBron’s return to Cleveland. It should be quite interesting to watch. Happy Thanksgiving!

NBA Roundup: Show Us Some Love, Rondo MVP?

The first ten games of the season are a thing of the past and some teams just are not living up to all the pre-season hype. Most notably, the Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers, and New York Knicks are not who we all thought they’d be as they are all underwhelming fan expectations and under-performing on the court. The Rockets have sputtered out of the gates after dealing away Trevor Ariza and losing Yao Ming and Aaron Brooks to injuries, anytime the Heat lose the media reacts like nuclear war is on the brink, the Clippers are just the Clippers again, and the Knicks have actually looked worse this year than they have in the previous two years despite swapping out David Lee and Chris Duhon for Amare Stoudemire and Raymond Felton…does any of this make sense?

This past week saw a magnificent performance from Minnesota’s Kevin Love. He went off on Friday night for a 31 point, 31 rebound performance against the lowly Knicks. This was the first 30-30 game in the NBA since my boy Moses Malone did it in 1982. And up in Boston, Rajon Rondo continues to make a claim for the starting point guard slot for the Eastern Conference All Star team, as he’s shattering the field by averaging 15.1 assists per game to go along with nearly 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. The next closest in the assist department is Deron Williams with 10.3 per game.

This weekend features a couple of great games and a couple of terrible games. On Friday night, the Spurs invade Utah while the Bulls take their talents to Dallas for a premier point guard battle between phenom Derrick Rose and the timeless Jason Kidd. If you are really into self inflicted torture, check out the Knicks versus the Clippers in LA on Saturday night or the Wizards versus the Pistons on Sunday. Due to the official rules and regulations of the league, one of these two laughingstock franchises will be forced to win!

NBA Roundup: Move Over Saints, Here Come The Hornets

The second week of NBA action is in the books and a few surprises have already left a mark on this young season. The Lakers have jumped out to a ho hum 8-0 start and the shocking Hornets are becoming the talk of the town in New Orleans as they have played brilliant 7-0 ball thus far.

The not so mighty Heat are on track to win only 51 games, 31 less than projected by ESPN prognosticators, and the Central Division continues to play hot potato with the division lead as no one wants to go north of the .500 mark.

Two guys who have played out of their minds over the past week are Utah‘s Paul Millsap and Indiana’s Roy Hibbert. Who said Utah will crumble without Carlos Boozer as Millsap is currently 8th in the league in scoring at 23.8 points per game and registered a sick nasty 46 in a road win at daunting Miami. I guess D-Will is worth a lot more than we thought. And Hibbert is leading the league with a juicy 3.3 blocks per game to go along with his 16 points and 9 rebounds.

The best games of this weekend feature Saturday night’s match-up between the Portland Trail Blazers going on a mission to New Orleans to hand CP3 and his crew their first loss of the season, and Sunday night’s classic battle as Phoenix tries to do the same to the Lakers in Los Angeles.

Also, check out this video of Paul Millsap dropping 11 points with 28 seconds left against the Heat. His layup with .6 seconds left sent the game into overtime.

NBA Roundup: The OTHER Big Three

After an exciting first week of action in the 2010-11 season that centered around the new look Miami Heat, the addition of Shaq in Beantown, and Amare Stoudemire’s name littered across the Madison Square Garden marquee, we are starting to get back into the flow of a new season of NBA basketball.

The season kicked off with a high intensity battle between the beasts of the East as a retooled Boston team took down the villainous Miami Heat.  The Lakers opened up their pursuit of a second three-peat of the decade when they received their championship rings on a night they squeaked out a comeback victory against Yao Ming and the Rockets.

Over the first week of the season, we’ve seen the Heat bounce back with a couple of dominating wins, the Nets and Hornets jump out to fast starts a year after disappointing campaigns, and a solid week of play from the Atlanta Hawks and Portland Trail Blazers. Derrick Rose has been the big story of the first week as he put up nearly 28 points, 9 assists, and 5 rebounds as the Bulls opened up the season with a tough loss at Oklahoma City and followed it up with a couple wins despite missing their prized summer acquisition, Carlos Boozer.

Meanwhile, John Wall and Blake Griffin are duking it out for this year’s Rookie of the Year award early as Wall is posting over 20 points, 10 assists, and 4 steals per game while Griffin is averaging nearly 17 points and 10 rebounds with two early season double-doubles in LA.

With the second weekend of NBA action coming at you, COED recommends a couple of key match-ups that you shouldn’t miss.  Catch the upstart Bulls taking their young squad to Boston Friday night on ESPN in what’s sure to be an epic showdown between super point guards, DRose and Rajon Rondo.  Sunday night features a pair of great games if you own the NBA League Pass as the Celtics travel to Oklahoma City and the Blazers head to Los Angeles to face their nemesis, the Lakers.

College Football 2009 Week 14 Championship Week Preview: Cheerleader Edition

Thanksgiving is a thing of the past and now COED has refocused its mind on the lovely cheerleaders of those top ten teams heading into Championship Week 2009.  With six unbeaten teams entering the final week of the season, plenty of BCS bids are up for grabs.  We have the Game of the Season with the top two teams in the nation squaring off in Atlanta, while the Longhorns look to get an invitation to the title game by avoiding a letdown loss to Nebraska.  Strap on your gear for the final week of the season as COED’s college football preview is coming at you for the final time this regular season.

No. 1 Florida (12-0) vs. No. 2 Alabama (12-0)

This one is for all the marbles.  Saban’s Tide looks to put a damper on the final chapter of Tim Tebow’s career.  We knew all season long that the SEC was going to be decided by this game, and probably the national championship will end up in the arms of the winner.  Tebow hopes to keep his emo side in check as he takes the field for the final time as a Gator in the regular season.

No. 3 Texas (12-0) vs. No. 22 Nebraska (9-3)

The Big 12 Championship game seems like just a formality at this point.  Sure, the Huskers showed some promise earlier in the season, but Colt McCoy is on a mission.  After last season’s BCS title game snub that saw Oklahoma get a shot at the Gators over Texas despite the fact that the Longhorns defeated the Sooners head-to-head, this season’s Horns took care of business with authority.  They shattered their opponents by a combined score of 516-185 and look to dismantle Nebraska on their way to the title game this weekend.

No. 4 TCU (12-0) is done with the regular season – Mountain West Conference Champs

TCU will be wearing Nebraska Red this weekend as they hope and pray that the Huskers can knock Texas out of the title game and give the Frogs their much deserved placement in the BCS Championship.  But don’t hold your breath – that’s about as likely as Tiger Woods cheating on his wife…oh, snap…

No. 5 Cincinnati (11-0) at No. 15 Pittsburgh (9-2)

This was poised to be another classic battle between two top ten teams who both happened to reside in the Big East until West Virginia squeezed out a victory over Pitt last week.  Now, Pitt looks to bounce back and deliver a knockout punch to the face of the Bearcats, who are looking for their first ever perfect 12-0 regular season.

No. 6 Boise State (12-0) vs. New Mexico State (3-9)

Boise State looks to wrap up another perfect season and a return trip to the Fiesta Bowl in Arizona.  All they have to do is stomp out the pathetic Aggies of New Mexico State and hope that the voters continue to show them love.

No. 7 Oregon (9-2) vs. No. 16 Oregon State (8-3)

Who would have thought that the Civil War of Oregon was going to decide the Pac-10 representative in the Rose Bowl. The winner of this classic pacific northwest brawl will be the ones afforded the opportunity to take on the mighty Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day.  Oregon last lined up in the Rose Bowl in 1994, while the Beavers haven’t took to Pasadena since 1964 – way before Citi was the official sponsor.

No. 8 Ohio State (10-2) is done with the regular season and is awaiting an opponent in the Rose Bowl

Ohio State is once again champion of the Big Ten and will be heading to the Rose Bowl to take on one of the Oregon teams.  Will they continue to disappoint in their BCS bowl appearances?  Or will this year be the year for Coach Tressel?

No. 9 Iowa (10-2) finished second in the Big Ten

Iowa had a strong season with 10 wins, but really suffered after quarterback Ricky Stanzi was lost for the end of the season.

No. 10 Georgia Tech (10-2) vs. Clemson (8-4)

The ACC title game has lost some of its flair after both combatants lost to their SEC rivals last week.  This week, they square off in Tampa with the opportunity to end their conference title droughts and secure a BCS bowl game bid.

College Football 2009 Week 12 Preview: Cheerleader Edition

The college football season is nearing its end.  Conference titles are being handed out, bowl game combatants are becoming clear, and emo Senior cheerleaders are beginning to go ‘all out’ five to six nights a week.  This week features The Game as an underachieving Michigan hosts Ohio State, and a tough gear up game for Pitt before they square off against Cincinnati.  Get out your beads and pocket your favorite pint as its getting cold in the stadiums across the nation on gameday. Read more

College Football 2009 Week 11 Preview: Cheerleader Edition

With fall in full swing and six teams still undefeated, we are heading into the last leg of the season.  This week features mighty battles in the Mountain West, Pac-10 and Big Ten – and yes, I included the MWC, which could surprise some people and find themselves in the national title game conversation (in the event of a miracle).  Get ready as COED covers this week’s top ten lineup. Read more

College Football 2009 Week 10 Preview: Cheerleader Edition

As we turn the calendar to November and move the clocks back for Daylight Savings, the cold crisp in the air returns as the cheerleaders begin to think about fun ways to stay warm in the huddle.  With seven unbeaten teams remaining at the top of the rankings, COED previews the tenth week of the season that seems to get better with age.  An epic showdown is slated for late Saturday afternoon in Tuscaloosa, while the Iowa Hawkeyes look to ride their season chock full of fourth quarter comebacks to stay perfect on the season and in the Big Ten.

No. 1 Florida (8-0) vs. Vanderbilt (2-7)

The hits keep on coming for Tim Tebow and the mighty Gators.  Another dominant performance in last week’s grudge match against the hated Georgia Bulldogs and now the team will get to rest up a bit with an easy matchup against the pitiful Commodores.  Even with Brandon Spikes out for the first half after trying to rip a man’s eye out, the D should feast on the feeble squad from Vandy.

(click photo to view full gallery)

No. 2 Texas (8-0) vs UCF (5-3)

The Longhorns stifled the Cowboys of Oklahoma State last week and leapfrogged the Crimson Tide and regained possession of the No. 2 spot in the BCS rankings.  This week they host the UCF Knights in what should be another stepping stone along their path to the national title game.

(click photo to view full gallery)

No. 3 Alabama (8-0) vs. No. 9 LSU (7-1)

Last week was quite different for these two SEC beasts.  Bama was at home resting a week after keeping its title hopes alive by surviving a last second blocked FG in a critical 12-10 win over the Vols, while the Tigers from Louisiana State returned to the field after a bye week and absolutely annihilated Tulane a to build some confidence after their offense was flat against the Gators.  Will this game determine who gets to play Florida in the SEC title game?

(click photo to view full gallery)

No. 4 Iowa (9-0) vs. Northwestern (5-4)

Iowa continued its magical season when Indiana was poised to go up by three touchdowns early in the second half only to have a batted pass go off of four players before landing in the hands of Tyler Sash who returned it for an 86 yard gift wrapped interception return.  They then poured it on in the fourth quarter, outscoring the scrappy Hoosiers 28-0 to reach 9-0 and stay at No. 4 in the BCS standings – their highest ever.  This week they host a decent Northwestern team and should keep the unbeaten streak alive.

(click photo to view full gallery)

No. 5 Cincinnati (8-0) vs. UConn (4-4)

Cincy hops up three spots this week after an effective 28-7 win over the Orange in Syracuse.  This week they face a meandering UConn team who continues to have terrible luck and turmoil after two straight heartbreaking 28-24 defeats, particularly bad last week when Rutgers gave up the go ahead score and then scored back immediately all in the final minute.

(click photo to view full gallery)

No. 6 TCU (8-0) at San Diego State (4-4)

TCU continues to punish the opposition after last week’s 41-0 shellacking of UNLV.  This week they will use the Aztecs as tackling dummies as they gear up for the pseudo MWC title game when they take on Utah the following week.  Expect them to crush, even on the road.

No. 7 Boise State (8-0) vs. Louisiana Tech (3-5)

What more can Boise State do?  They continue their assault trek against the WAC with another big win over San Jose State.  This week they travel across the country to battle another tremendously weak opponent – the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.

No. 8 Oregon (7-1) at Stanford (5-3)

Look who’s back in the COED Top Ten preview.  The Ducks continue to build a pretty strong postseason resume after destroying the USC Trojans 47-20, while handing them their worst loss since 1997.  This week they must avoid a letdown game after a huge win against a dangerous Stanford team on the road.

No. 10 Georgia Tech (8-1) vs. Wake Forest (4-5)

Georgia Tech sneaks back up into the top ten after their sixth straight victory – a 56-31 win that sounds a lot better than it actually was – over the Commodores in Vanderbilt.  GT trailed 31-28 in the third quarter before Tech decided to pound away at Vandy, scoring four unanswered TDs to close out the big road win.  This week they will face an underrated Wake team who will look to grab a win in Atlanta.

College Football 2009 Week 9 Preview: Cheerleader Edition

This is the week in college football where the cheerleaders are not the only ones scantily dressed and ready for a good time. Halloween falls on a Saturday night this year, which means raucous costume parties starting at Thirsty Thursday and lasting all the way through gameday. If your team takes home a victory, expect those costumes to be reduced to mere threads covering up our favorite spots.

Week Nine looks to provide plenty of good matchups on the field as well within the upper echelon of the BCS standings. With two matchups within the top ten (an SEC battle between No. 2 and No. 9 and a Pac-10 matchup fo No. 5 and No. 10), and another within the top 15 (Big 12 powerhouses at No. 3 and No. 14), we look around and wonder why Iowa is the only Big Ten team being represented here in COED’s Halloween edition of the NCAA football preview.  Read more

College Football 2009 Week 8 Preview: Cheerleader Edition

With Week 8 coming at you at full speed this weekend, we will take a look at the first BCS top ten rankings of the 2009 season.   While Bama fans would probably prefer the AP poll since their Crimson Tide have taken over the top spot, we here at COED are more interested in the BCS because it makes us think of Bottomless Cheerleading Squads…  Read more
