By

The Lakers just need players. Just bodies. Period. They have depth at point guard now with the re-signing of Jordan Farmar and the trade for Jeremy Lin.

Deron Williams scores Nets franchise record 57 on Bobcats

By

Much like the night he dropped 38 on Jeremy Lin during the height of Linsanity, Deron Williams made a statement with his game. He put the point in point guard. I think D. Will has had enough with this Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul are the best point guards in the league talk. Deron Williams scored a franchise-record 57 points to bring the New Jersey Nets to a 104-101 victory … [Read more...] about Deron Williams scores Nets franchise record 57 on Bobcats

Deron Williams schools Jeremy Lin by dropping 38 on him

Williams scored a season high 38, with eight 3s and 6 assists, absolutely … [Read more...] about Deron Williams schools Jeremy Lin by dropping 38 on him
