When matched against a smaller opponent on the court there’s a natural inclination to want to take them into the post and use that size as an advantage. Tonight Chris Bosh succumbed to this temptation as he attempted to take Danny Granger and Dahntay Jones into the post without any success. In the second half Bosh reverted to his style of play and scored 20 of his game-high 26 points.

This week one of the big news stories in Toronto was Robbie Alomar telling the media one of the biggest regrets from his playing career was leaving. With T.J. Ford back in town this weekend I took some time to talk with him about if he regrets the way he left the franchise and what he misses the most about playing in Toronto.

Charlie Bell took some time to chat with Hoops Addict about growing up in Flint, Michigan, how his childhood helped instill a strong work ethic and he shared some memories about winning a National Championship back in 2000.

Due to an injury to DeMar DeRozan it opened up an opportunity for Sonny Weems to get the first start of his NBA career. The talented guard stepped up to the challenge by figuring how to lock down Dwyane Wade in the second half.

Much like the Jets didn’t seem to put up a fight in the second half of their match against the Colts, the Wizards effort in the second quarter was feeble at best. They shot 36% from the field (after a 54% first quarter) and committed committed six turnovers (after one in the first quarter). Bryant’s late first quarter heroics had seemingly stolen the Wizards will to win in the second quarter.

The NBA has suspended both Javaris Crittenton and Gilbert Arenas without pay. for the remainder of the season. This suspension comes after both players had face-to-face meetings with NBA Commissioner David Stern.

Prior to the Knicks/Wizards matchup, Bender had a quick chat with Hoops Addict about what made him come back to the game, how he thinks he’s progressing, and if he will stay in the NBA beyond this season.

Since Rafer Alston is a traditional point guard who has been around the league (this is his sixth team) and is fresh off an NBA Finals appearance with the Orlando Magic, Hoops Addict talked with him about some of the nuances of playing point guard, the adjustments from college to the professional ranks, and how he has begun to mentor Mario Chalmers.

On Friday, January 22nd, the Los Angeles Clippers called Curry up and signed him to a 10-day contract. Hoops Addict caught up with Curry prior to his first game as a Clipper, and he talked about his emotional rollercoaster over the past few days, the advice Springfield Armor head coach Dee Brown gave him, and the challenges the speed of the NBA game presents.

But there is one major similarity that Tapscott, Saunders, and probably every coach in the NBA can relate to, and that’s the dreaded breaking point. That’s the point where conventional wisdom and methods fall by the wayside, and pure emotion takes over. After watching Saunders’ behavior both before and after the Wizards took on the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, it is clear that point may be quickly approaching.
