The Wire Troll: Terrence Ross is a Perfect Holiday Gift

Oh, the ability, skill and results that Stoudemire flashed until his knees went faulty. The former Phoenix Suns All-Star has struggled to stay healthy and play productive minutes off the Knicks bench. Recently, however, he has been on a roll with several productive games (scoring, rebounds, blocks) and his minutes have increased. He even was able to make it through back-to-back games this week for the first time this season. By no means is Stat a sure thing going forward, but take advantage while the going is good.

Video Game Review: NBA Live ’14

More disappointing that any of that, however, is the heavily touted BounceTek dribbling system. In theory, it’s supposed to allow you to quickly chain dribble moves together to break down defenders and leave them in your wake. Instead, the transitions are choppy and unnatural, which makes properly timing the controller inputs an uphill battle. So haphazard are the animations that it’s actually a better approach to use audio cues to time your moves. It’s a system in dire need of additional polish if it’s to deliver the intended experience.

The Wire Troll: Samuel Dalembert is Crashing the Glass

With the aforementioned injury to Bledsoe, Green has stepped in and performed impressively for the surprising Suns. In a pair of contests against Sacramento this week, Green scored 23 per game including 10 three-pointers. The sleek shooting swingman is now averaging 14.8 points per game this season and will be a major factor as long as Bledsoe is sidelined.

The Wire Troll: Jared Sullinger Soaring to New Heights

The highly regarded prospect from Ohio State is showing marked improvement in his second NBA season as he becomes a force in the paint. Sullinger is shooting an impressive .526 from the floor and .864 from the charity stripe. In his last three games, he has registered 17.3 points per game including 26 on Friday against Portland – a great sign after he had missed the previous game with a knee injury. Sprinkle in seven rebounds per contest over this stretch and you have a productive Fantasy power forward.

Review: NBA Game Time App

The highlight packages are well done.

While we’ve experienced NBA League Pass through DirecTV in the past, we’ve never had the chance to check out the Game Time app with NBA Broadband until recently. To be clear, the app itself is free, but to watch full games you’ll need to pony up for the Broadband League Pass — the cost is either US$199 for access to all 30 teams or US$140 to watch any five teams of your choice.
