I guess the Celtics victory over LA resonated much more than we could possibly imagine. To wit, the fallout has been so quick and strong, even perennial winners like the Spurs are considering changing their team colors to match the current NBA World Champion.
Wait, what? Oh, that’s not what you meant by going […]

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Now maybe all this fuss about the Spurs being a boring basketball team can finally be silenced as the Lakers made many wishes come true last night by dispatching San Antonio — and ending the defense of their title, 100 - 92. Leading the way for the Lakers was that Kobe fellow who had […]

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Is tonight the night the Spurs championship defense comes to an end? With the Lakers holding a 3-1 edge in the series and the game taking place in LA, there’s a very real sense it’s time for the Larry O’Brien trophy to change hands. While NBA Playoff leads of this size are rarely overcome, […]

As we get close to the Dog Days of Summer, a time where the MLB rules supreme while sports folks are waiting for the football season to kick-off, the sports news begins to enter a slow-down mode.

NBA Playoffs: Letting Game One Slip Away

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Another way you could title this post is, “Kobe Takes The First Half Off, Lakers Get Down By 20, Still Win” and it would capture pretty much what went on last night in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. After finishing the first half with only two more points than I scored, Kobe […]

Robert Horry Sets A Mean Back Pick

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Question: was this a hard pick, set to free an attacking Manu Ginobili or was this a dirty play by Big Shot Bob? Another question: would this even be a discussion point if Horry wasn’t involved?

It looks like a smart play from here and if that was Tim Duncan setting the […]
