Unfortunately, my gaming advice was right this time, though just barely. Paul Pierce and Wally Szczerbiak were unstoppable, Ryan Gomes dominated the boards, and the Blazers lost, again, 102-96. Nate had nine guys at his disposal, one of them being Ha, a sick Darius (in the literal sense), and... Link
Used to be that one of the most entertaining sideshows in the NBA was Oregonian columnist John Canzano vs. tempestuous young Blazer Bonzi Wells. But then Wells was traded away, and both men moved on, so that long-running spat has...... Link
I promise to come back full force on Monday. If not, I'll give you your money back. I'm not yet ready to pronounce the Kings as back - 3 out of 4 is cool and all, but it was the Clippers twice and Boston. And we're still five games... Link
So, 10-17 is bad. 7-9 at home is bad. A second five-game losing streak is bad. Dead last in the Pacific Division for most of December is bad. Losing to four last-place teams before New Year's is bad. Remember, the Knicks were in the Atlantic cellar at 0-5 when... Link
I like Bonzi Wells. He hits three-pointers from the corner to win games on the road. Also, I like Shareef Abdur-Rahim. He plays balls out in the fourth quarter and makes former MVPs take bad baseline jumpers in critical possessions. Ahh... the sweet taste of prolonged victory.... Link
The Nets franchise is fascinating. I wholeheartedly support its move to Brooklyn - little could do more for the NBA than sticking a team in Brooklyn. One thing that could? It involves a parade and J Street. Count me among those who pray to the basketball gods that Carter,... Link
Because bloggers don't get extended holidays... The web version of The Bee has failed to tell me the chances of Peja sitting out tonight. It simply says that he's day-to-day. I mostly think that's why there's no line for tonight's game - no one knows if the guy will... Link
Ah, the NBA schedule... For every Detroit Pistons, there's a New York Knicks. God bless Russ Granik. Tip-off around 6 p.m., televised on Comcast SportsNet with radio on 1140 AM.

Here comes the first weekend of regular season basketball action in … well … in a long time. And here at FBB we couldn’t be more excited. 25 games, three days, and we’ll start to see some separation in the fantasy basketball standings. Coming out of the gate strong... Link
Due to an editing error, a reference to "marijuana possession, domestic abuse and locker-room tussles" in a story on Sports Page C1 Saturday incorrectly referred to the Kings' Bonzi Wells while he was a member ...... Link
1 to 30 31 to 60 61 to 90 91. Jamaal Tinsley – The ultimate tease; few can match his 3s/steals/assists combo, but he plain cannot shoot or stay healthy. 92. Eddie Jones – Certainly on the downside of his career, but can handle lots of minutes and hit... Link
Ah, the shooting guard. Perhaps the deepest of all the positions. But that doesn’t mean you can wait ‘till the end of the draft to take one. If you’ve done your research, and if you can afford to do so, grabbing an elite SG early in the draft can... Link
OK, so we've run out of clever puns involving the word "Bonzi." We've failed you - please find it in your heart to forgive us.The Bonztacular One (whew) was on the Rise Guys this morning, chatting about second chances, defense and crappy golf scores. Less than informative and certainly... Link
The Detroit News reports that Detroit is offering Mo Evans $1.5 million per in a multi-year deal. They apparently want him to back up Tayshaun Prince. He played almost all of his minutes last season at shooting guard, and spent more time at the point than backing up Peja.... Link
Charley Rosen continues his off-season breakdown of old faces showing up in new places, leading with an examination of whether Bonzi Wells will be able to rebuild his reputation in Sacramento. His assessment? Don't bet on it.... Link
In the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Ronald Tillery sheds some light on the largest trade in NBA history: the Grizzlies didn't want James Posey, Jason Williams, or Bonzi Wells anymore because of their terrible attitudes. Reportedly former coach Hubie Brown and...... Link
Like it or not, the odds on Paul Pierce finishing his career as a Boston Celtic are getting longer by the day. Just look at the writing on the wall.You can go back as far as the day Ainge took over. He was critical of Walker and Pierce as... Link

Bonzi Wells didn't work out so well, so they're trying Damon Stoudamire. Today the Grizzlies announced they have signed Stoudamire to a four-year contract. Memphis Grizzlies President Jerry West says he expects Mighty Mouse to take the team to a...... Link
Guard Damon Stoudamire on Friday signed a four-year contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, who traded Jason Williams and Bonzi Wells earlier this week.

YES! The Blazer franchise is in serious trouble and the players are not to blame. I put the blame squarely on the shoulders of Paul Allen and his management team. These guys don't have a clue what it takes to make fans happy. Using the local newspaper as your... Link
