Was Dwight Howard Cursed By EA?

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Did EA’s “Madden Curse” wander over to their NBA property? One would think after the way Dwight Howard bricked those free throws in the closing seconds of Game 4… Unless you’d rather believe the reveal of EA’s NBA Live 2010 cover, featuring Dwight Howard, and the corresponding missed free throws are unrelated.

Choking It All Away (NBA Finals)

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Derek Fisher deserves all the credit in the world, as does Phil Jackson for sticking with him.

In response to a post I made last week about equating Peitrus’ decision to wear Kobe’s shoes to the French surrendering, I think it’s only fair that he be acknowledged for his “Actually, screw that ’surrender’ talk” performance as his 18 points and 3 steals helped the Orlando Magic stay within reach of the Los [...]
