Lakers/Nuggets tied at 88 with just less than 6 minutes to go. As a Laker fan, this is exactly what I wanted to see out of this game. Will the Lakers step up and put the finishing touches on the series, or will they let the Nuggets get their token W before closing them out […]
There’s been a lot of commentary in the past week about the ‘hack-a-shaq’ strategy, and opinions are ranging from one end of the spectrum to the other.
Two analysts (both former coaches) whose opinions I value are on opposing sides of this argument. Doug Collins believes the ‘hack-a-shaq’ is bad for the game. It slows down […]

The Western conference this season was amazing, arguably the most competitive ever. Teams 1 thru 8 were separated by a mere 7 games, and 1 thru 6 by a remarkable 2 games. In fact, not one playoff match up was set heading into the last night of the regular season. This incredible regular season led […]

Even in a Bobcats/T-Wolves game, there’s something I want to see. How good is Al Jefferson? Is Okafor developing a post game that […]
There’s a reason why the great commentators are the great commentators. Mike Tirico, one of the best in the business, right before the tip of Hornets/Mavs game 1 said, “The top teams in the league. The best players in the world. The games ultimate prize 16 wins away.” Couldn’t have said it better myself Mikey.

So Saturday night before leaving my apartment, I go to my TV to DVR Sunday afternoon’s Laker game. I do this even though my whole Sunday is set up to be on my couch way before the Laker game begins(need some time to mentally prepare). Why do I need to DVR the game if I […]
Wow! Wow! Wow! Are you kidding me? Talk about coming out of the gate strong. I wasn’t planning on posting anything until after the 1st round was complete, but how could I not at least mention the epic battle witnessed today. It doesn’t get any better, period. Occasionally, rarely, it gets as good, but it […]
Let’s quickly plow through the East predictions so we can get into the West, and if you don’t know why then you probably shouldn’t be reading this.
