Round 2: FIGHT!
2008-05-06 05:47:34
Yeah, I know - where’ve you been, Waleed?
The reality of these NBA playoffs is that they started the 2nd round before the end of the 1st round and I simply didn’t anticipate it. Anyways, so far the teams we knew would win, have and it didn’t matter that some of them had it easy getting [...] ...

The NBA playoffs are here.
2008-04-19 03:29:18
Here’s a quick run-down before the beginning of the 1st round of what should be the most exciting NBA postseason in recent memory.
The West
I recently characterized the Western Conference by the predominance of the Dominant Big men of the elite teams. Just on a topical level, we’ve seen how teams like the Nuggets barely get [...] ...

How the West will be Won… Again…

The big man and what he means for the West
Amidst the madness that usually ensues in March with the NCAA tournament, is the maddening jostling for position in the Western Conference playoff race. And nothing better characterizes the conference’s stretch run more than the return of the Big Man.
In what is undoubtedly the most hotly [...] ...

On second thought…
2008-02-27 18:06:32
Did the Cavaliers make a good trade when they got Delonte West, Ben Wallace, Joe Smith, and Wally Szczerbiak? I thought so at first. But after last night’s gut-wrencher against the Bucks, I’m not so sure anymore. Why not? Big Z didn’t play. So the Cleveland offense = Lebron James. Here was their starting lineup:
PG: [...] ...

Your ups and your downs
2008-02-26 22:15:26
If you’re the Rockets…
The good news: Tracy McGrady has yet to advance passed the first round in the playoffs and he’s hungrier than ever at this point.
The bad news: You don’t have Bonzi Wells or Mike James anymore.
The better news: You’re on a 12 game winning streak!
The worst news: Yao Ming just busted his foot [...] ...

Didn’t see that coming!
2008-02-26 18:12:36
Take a look at the top 8 teams in the West:
Lakers
Spurs
Suns
Hornets
Mavericks
Jazz
Warriors
Nuggets
I had to double-back when I saw that the Lakers were 1st place. Not to take away from the Lakers’ success or anything, but I didn’t think they were that good. It appears there’s some chemistry happening between the Lakers’ big 3 (The Boston who?) [...] ...

What’s in store for the Heat?
2008-02-25 18:28:59
Hard to believe that 2 seasons ago the Miami Heat were world champs, isn’t it? Fast forward 2 seasons later and they’ve claimed the worst record in the NBA. You can debate it either way, but I’m going to say that trading Shaq away for Shawn Marion was a good move for the Heat. Marion [...] ...

The Wild Wild Western Conference
2008-02-22 18:42:15
Yesterday by buddy po! and I had a small discussion about how tight the western conference competition is this year. Right now the New Orleans Hornets are on top at 37-15. Next in line are the Lakers at 37-17, and the Suns with the same record of 37-17. So we’re already at the 3rd seed [...] ...

What is wrong with the Rockets’ management!?
2008-02-21 21:22:50
Seriously. Via a 3-team trade between the Rockets, Hornets, and Grizzlies, Houston just gave away Mike James, Bonzi Wells, and CASH Money to the Hornets for…
*drum roll*
Bobby Jackson, Adam Haluska (who!?!? I know…), and a 2nd-round pick in the 2008 draft.
Memphis acquires Marcus Vinicius, the rights to Malick Badiane, and CASH Money as part of [...] ...
