Behind the Box Score, where Denver has a good one
Behind the Box Score, where Denver has a good one
Denver 114, Utah 105 Quite a bit went down in this bad boy. For one, the Jazz looked good . They didn't deserve to win, and the team's play won't have me rethinking my win prediction , but the Jazz looked like a tough out. And for the last few years, they haven't really acted like much ...

Thursday Bolts – Undefeated Edition
Daily Thunder.com — ... Kelly Dwyer behind the box score: “The Thunder were hot from the outset, Jeff Green (24 points on 13 shots, eight boards, three blocks) ran circles around whoever Sacramento had out there, Kevin Durant had 25 points and 11 rebounds (!), and Nenad Krstic looks stronger with every passing day. 20 points and seven boards. Great to see.” ...

Orlando Magic 120, Philadelphia 76ers 106: The Morning After
Third Quarter Collapse — ... Behind the Box Score, where Denver has a good one Kelly Dwyer of Ball Don't Lie chimes in on the Orlando Magic's victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on opening night. The spacing was so, so pure for Orlando tonight, and that was against a 76ers team that can often frustrate with its length (not necessarily changing shots, but making you think twice about that skip pass). 28 assists for Orlando, who managed a balanced effort that made everyone look good. Everyone. Box-Score Watching Kevin ...

Write Your Own Cavs 0-2 Overreaction!
The Kardiac Kid — ... in training camp. They are not ready to play. You can blame the flu, or whatever you want, but bottom line is that the Cavs are nowhere near ready to play games that count. Brown deserves the blame for that. Yes, it is a challenge to bring together all these new players and get them to focus, but he’s done it before. Here’s hoping they turn it around before Friday night.” E. FREAK THE FUCK OUT! Overreacting is a cornerstone of any overreaction. Just ask an expert, like Kelly Dwyer @ Ball Don’t Lie :“Cleveland is all wrong. It’s early, excuse away, but Mike Brown is a deer ...

A Brief, Closer Look at the Orlando Magic's Dominance of the Philadelphia 76ers
Third Quarter Collapse — ... Last night, the Orlando Magic opened up their 2009/10 season with a 120-106 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. 14 points is no small margin, but as Eddy, Kelly Dwyer, and I have pointed out elsewhere, it's not indicative of just how dominant the Magic were. They held a 31-point lead after three periods, and in the fourth, went into cruise control. Philadelphia made the final score with a 37-20 romp in the fourth quarter, with nothing at stake except appearances. I wanted to get a better idea of what the game looked like when the Magic ...

Game 1 Player Analysis: Kings vs Thunder
CowbellKingdom.com — ... Just looking at those raw numbers, it appears that Evans had a terrible game. In fact, Kelly Dwyer said, “Tyreke Evans was terrible in his first NBA game, forcing the issue and finishing with 10 points on 16 shots.” I completely disagree with that assessment. Was Evans good? Not really. But was he bad? Not really, either. Tyreke Evans got to the basket for a layup or dunk attempt 12 times in this game for 11 field goal attempts (he was fouled on the missed dunk attempt so it didn’t count). He just happened to miss seven lay-ups in the ...
