As many of you know, I love Twitter (insert shameless follow me @QuimSauceLIVE plug here). So when I woke up this morning, and saw the national attention Detroit Pistons second-year guard Brandon Knight was getting, I hoped it was for the right reasons. After further investigation, it wasn’t. As the tape clearly shows, DeAndre … Continue reading
After this weekend I can officially embrace the NBA is back in full swing. And with this weekends lackluster NFL match-ups, and with my beloved/hated Detroit Lions having already played during the week I needed to get my sports fix elsewhere. Week 4 of the 2012-13 NBA season did not disappoint. There were three plays … Continue reading
Last week, ESPN reported that one of the NBA’s Greats hung up his jersey after a stellar 11-year career. Brian Scalabrine a.k.a. The White Mamba has called it quits after a legendary run. He began his career in 2001 with the New Jersey Nets, led the Boston Celtics to an NBA Champion in 2008, and decided … Continue reading
Mitch Kupchack has his hands full this off-season. The Los Angeles Lakers general manager enters an uncomfortable position where his superstar is aging, but young pieces could be the future.

But when the Denver Nuggets forced a Game 7 at 10:30 p.m. Saturday inside the Staples Center with a 113-96 thrashing of the … Continue reading
In basketball, regardless of what level, a really good crossover against an opponent is called an “ankle breaker”. However, I cannot ever remember seeing a crossover that LITERALLY broke someone’s ankle until last night. Thank you Ty Lawson. Last night he put a move on the Orlando Magic’s Ryan Anderson that had him hopping and … Continue reading
Typically after a long exciting weekend I take to Twitter (insert shameless plug here: follow me @QuimSauceLIVE) and give my followers a riveting recap of the events. However last weekend for me deserved much more than a series of 140 character snippets. Friday: Typical college night. A “few” drink, with a “few” friends. Saturday: Saturday was the highlight … Continue reading
The underlying theme of this year’s group of small forwards has been understanding their limitations and grasping their roles. That and, well, there’s a LOT of athletic ability. Just think about how different guys such as LeBron James and Kevin Durant are for a second. LeBron is most likely one of the five or ten … Continue reading
The other night Rajon Rondo threw the most amazing behind the back I’ve ever seen to a streaking Ray Allen in the corner for a beautiful three points. But then just a few nights later Danilo Gallinari threw one equally as impressive to none other than rookie sensation Kenneth ‘The MANimal’ Faried. I’m honestly … Continue reading
