The Cleveland LeBrons Eliminated, Now Singin’ The Blues

LeBron James did his best to advance to the NBA Finals, but he was too alone. I give him credit for his effort and amazing plays, however.
Still, LeBron clearly lacks respect and fair play for his opponents. His walking off the court without congratulating the Cavs’ worthy adversaries is now a common course taken by [...]

The Modern Day Celtics Are Never Boring

Bill Russell, Bob Cousy and John Havlicek gave you. . . well, I don’t know what they gave you (besides phenomenal play and a horde of championships), because I was long from being born during their days of playing basketball.
Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish gave you intensity, integrity and intelligence. Five NBA title [...]

Blame The Swine Flu

With the epic swine flu epidemic sweeping the Western hemisphere, I was thinking in this time of light sentiments: if there are players out there (and why, we know there are!) who don’t want to get their asses up off the bench (let alone the couch) for a game or two, the perfect alibi has [...]

BIG BABY DAVIS: And it ain’t over now. ‘Cause when the goin’ gets tough… [thinks hard] [...]

I knew the Boston Celtics had gone straight to hell when, after winning the NBA Finals on June 17, 2008, they gave coach Doc Rivers a five year contract. Does that explain the eerie coincidences this season? I don’t know. After starting the season with the best start in franchise history, the Celtics went downhill, [...]

The Time Has Come

The countdown has become for what has proven to be one of the most memorable playoff series in the history of the NBA. For fans of pure basketball, this past two weeks or so has been nothing short of spectacular – multiple overtimes, game-tying last second three-pointers, three players that needed stitches whilst the games [...]

Tracy McGrady Can’t Get A Break

I’d hate to be Tracy McGrady. Simply put. When you think of athletes whom gets paid millions of dollars to be decrepit fools every year and get paid to sit on the bench week in and week out, you wish you could be that athlete. However, when it comes to Tracy McGrady, I bet there’s [...]
