Anderson still a threat from deep

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Despite seeing a slight dip in his 3-point shooting percentage this season, Pelicans forward Ryan Anderson remained a viable source for treys. Anderson finished second in the NBA with 557 3-pointers attempted and his 213 makes from behind the arc also ranked second behind Stephen Curry. "In a lot of games, it was kind of that feel where I catch the ball; it’s just not one guy on me but I had another guy right next to me,’’ Anderson said. "When I screen on pick and rolls, they weren't leaving me.’’

Greivis Vasquez finishes second in 2013 NBA's Most Improved Player Award

At The Hive — Despite finishing second to Paul George, Greivis Vasquez deserves plenty of accolade for his 2012-13 season.

A few other Hornets also made the list: Ryan Anderson with one 1st place vote and Robin Lopez with one 3rd place vote.

Mavericks final score: Mavs dominate Hornets 107-89

Mavs Moneyball — The Dallas Mavericks defeated the New Orleans Hornets 107-89 in the last home game for the Hornets nickname. Shawn Marion led the Mavs with 21 on 16 shots, while Dirk had 19 on 14 despite not playing more or less the last ten minutes. Mavericks' killer Ryan Anderson had 20, but needed 20 shots to do it. The Mavericks will finally--finally, finally, finally--shave their beards. And honestly, that matters to me. In some ways it mattered to me more than making the playoffs, which, as nice as it would be to keep one streak going from the glory days, would probably have been a short trip. I...
