by Charley RosenFiled under: Bobcats, Cavaliers, Celtics, Clippers, Grizzlies, Heat, Kings, Knicks, Lakers, Magic, Nuggets, Spurs, Suns, Thunder Overrated LeBron James heads the list because despite his gargantuan numbers he still has to prove that he's not a quitter (remember the concluding two games of last season's Celtics-Cavs series?) and not a loser. Moreover, although he's become celebrated for running down and blocking breakaways, his posture is still too upright for him to play adequate defense against quick-footed opponents. Vince Carter also habitually posts gaudy numbers but has been a choker throughout his career. Dwight Howard is a good defensive helper, but only ...

by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Nuggets, SunsPHOENIX -- There were plenty of convoluted mysteries in the Western Conference playoff race heading into Tuesday's games, and none of them figured to be completely solved by the time the night was through. But after the Suns routed the Nuggets by a score of 123-101, and the Jazz helped Phoenix's cause by beating the Warriors, one thing has been decided: the Suns can now finish no worse than the four-seed, and thus have earned home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

by Chris TomassonFiled under: Grizzlies, Kings, Lakers, Nuggets, Suns, WarriorsOne could call Devean George a professor of pranks. The 11-year veteran became an expert while on the wrong end of them frequently as a rookie before doling out many later in his career. The Golden State Warriors' forward has seen plenty in his day, but he still was quite surprised to learn about the April Fool's prank played on Denver forward Kenyon Martin. Not only is the rugged Martin one of the most humorless players in the NBA, he's a 10-year man. "He's a veteran,'' George said about the prank in which ...
