When Anthony Davis limped off the court with 6:35 left in the first quarter of Game 6 in the L.A.-Phoenix playoff series, the Lakers’ reign as NBA champions came to an end.

NBA Atlantic Division Preview

October 9, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Before Mikhail Prokhorov bought the Nets, New York was all about the Knicks.

ATLANTIC POWER: Boston, Philly, New York stir 1980s echoes

October 23, 2012 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

I love the ’80s! It was a decade that introduced us to cable TV, Don Johnson’s white-pants-with-no-socks look, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” jackets, and Madonna’s “Like a virgin” anthem.

Brooklyn owns NBA’s best backcourt

October 2, 2012 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Joe Johnson hasn’t played with a point guard like Deron Williams, and Williams has never had a shooting guard like Johnson. Together, they should be a lethal combination for the Brooklyn Nets. Having Williams by his side should make things easier for Johnson. He can just be a scorer and not worry about facilitating or … [Read more…]
