David West

David West’s return to the Indiana Pacers isn’t etched in stone. The 32-year-old power forward had a phenomenal regular season, averaging 17.1 points and 7.7 rebounds on 49.8 percent shooting. He was a big part of what the Pacers did and remains as vital a cog as there is in their attempt to unseat the [...]

Where did all the three-point shooting go? That’s what every member of the New York Knicks, their fans and Mike Woodson should be asking themselves following the team’s loss to the Indiana Pacers. New York fell in Indiana 82-71 (it could have been worse), attempted just 11 three-pointerss and connected on just three of them. [...]

The Indiana Pacers are banged up, none more so than Danny Granger. Moving forward, the Pacers need to keep in eye on Lance Stephenson (hip), David West (back) and George Hill (groin).

Their point guards couldn’t get much going, with the Pacers closing up passing lanes as quickly as they opened up. By the end of [...]

The Indiana Pacers are officially rolling without Danny Granger, yet that hardly means they don’t need him. After nothing short of a disappointing start that saw the Pacers begin the season 4-7, Indiana has gone 14-6 to improve to 18-13, the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference. And, once again, the Pacers finally look like [...]

Let’s get something straight: Trading Pau Gasol would be a mistake for the Los Angeles Lakers. At least right now. Not just because Steve Nash wants to play alongside him and not just because the Lakers owe it to their newly constructed team to see if the current dynamic works, but also because Los Angeles [...]

July 7th, 2008 – Dr. J-Water As I was reading the news this morning of the first Hurricane of 2008 (Hurricane Bertha) brewing and nearing land in the Caribbean Islands of St. Martin and St. Kitts, I couldn’t help but start thinking once again about how quickly the New Orleans Hornets have risen from NBA [...]
