Griffin Gotta

February 17, 2012 – Griffin Gotta Another week in the books and the NBA has just about been completely eclipsed by Jeremy Lin’s star. Linpossible as it is to avoid — and why would you want to? — the rest of the league churns along as the undercurrent to Lin’s tsunami. This weekend has plenty [...]

February 16, 2012 – Griffin Gotta I watched the New Orleans Hornets and Milwaukee Bucks game in its entirety last night. If for some odd reason you did not, or if you were unaware of this game’s existence on the schedule to begin with, I cannot blame you. For the record, the Hornets won 92-89, [...]

February 15, 2012 – Griffin Gotta Right now in the Eastern Conference, or more like the entire NBA, all eyes remain transfixed (rightfully so) on the saga of New York Knicks’ revelation Jeremy Lin. Last night’s events in Toronto will only add to the most unbelievable overnight success story the league has seen in some [...]

February 14, 2012 – Griffin Gotta With word getting out that Los Angeles Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak held a private workout for Gilbert Arenas over the weekend, speculations are brewing stronger than ever about a possible return to the NBA for the former Agent Zero. [...]

February 13, 2012 – Griffin Gotta This week it is expected that former Denver Nugget J.R. Smith, the highly flammable shoot first and worry about the rest later scorer off the bench, will be cleared to sign with an NBA team as his Chinese team’s season reaches its end. With Kenyon Martin already getting minutes [...]

February 10, 2012 – Griffin Gotta This week brought us one of the more perplexing questions of the NBA season thus far: Is it better to be an All-Star reserve or Jeremy Lin? Right now, you could make the argument that the mythology surrounding Lin is on another level than that of being named to [...]

February 9, 2012 – Griffin Gotta Last night Will Ferrell, maybe you remember him from such roles as Deangelo Vickers of The Office fame (maybe there are other ones too), was on site for the Bulls-Hornets game, as he’s apparently in the process of filming a movie called “Dog Fight” in New Orleans. [...]

February 9, 2012 – Griffin Gotta Recently the NBA announced that the Rookie-Sophomore game — actually called the Rising Stars Challenge — played on Friday night of every All-Star weekend, will be getting a bit more attention this year with the addition of a playground-style system for picking squads [...]

February 7, 2012 – Griffin Gotta On Saturday night, Minnesota Timberwolves’ likely All-Star forward Kevin Love, frustrated with being the recipient of a few too many shots that sure must’ve felt like fouls, lost control of himself for a moment. Unfortunately for Houston’s Luis Scola, this temporary loss of judgement on Love’s part resulted in [...]

February 3, 2012 – Griffin Gotta Just like last week, it’s time to see what’s in store from the world of the NBA this weekend, while assigning some empty grades in the process. If you’re as unexcited about the Super Bowl as I am, the NBA provides even more of a comfort blanket to crawl [...]
