Welcome to the Second Round

What a first round! While there were a number of snoozer series that lacked a single competitive moment (I'm looking in your general direction, Denver), there were plenty of exciting battles, some where I expected, others in less expected series. While...

First Round Impressions

Just before the start of the playoffs I submitted my annual playoff predictions , in which I see the Celtics beating the Lakers in a classic Finals series. I still hold firm to that earlier prediction, but clearly some of my other first round picks were...

2007-2008 Playoff Predictions

Each year I post my (insanely inaccurate) playoff predictions prior to the start of the postseason. I some rare circumstances my picks are spot on, but most of the time I take a gamble or two and end up blowing the whole postseason (like last year, I...

2006-2007 Playoff Predictions

Each year I post my playoff predictions before the start of the playoffs, from the first round through the Finals. In last year's predictions I mistakenly picked the Pistons besting the Heat and the Spurs beating the Mavs, resulting in a Spurs-Pistons...

Kobe for MVP?

With Kobe's unhuman-like play over the past week or so - ratcheting 50+ points in four consecutive games - there's been some discussion among sports writers/radio show hosts that, mayhap, Kobe should be included in the MVP discussions alongside Dirk and...

How the West Was Won

On Sunday, the Detroit Pistons won their second straight “must-win” game against the Cavs, advancing to the ECFs for a rematch with the Miami Heat. Even with the Cavs up three games to two, I still liked the Pistons. While they seem to lose focus and...

Big Games Tonight!

Tonight the Cavs - who lead the series three games to two - take on the Pistons in Cleveland with the hopes of advancing to the first ECFs since 1992. (If my memory serves me correctly, the 1992 Cavs team that reached the ECF were summarily destroyed...

2nd Round of Playoffs Begin With a Yawn

With the top eight teams left vying for their conferences' finals, you'd think that we'd - the NBA fan base - would be in for a scintillating treat of well-played, down-to-the-wire basketball games. Save for Game 1 of the Mavs/Spurs series, however, all...

We've Got Ourselves Some Series!

I didn't think there'd be too much drama in the first round of the playoffs this year, but we certainly have some interesting series! The Bulls just knotted up their series with the Heat at two games apiece, the Pacers are giving the Nets a run for their...

No Big Surprises in the Playoffs...

No big surprises after the first couple of games in the playoffs. The "Contenders" - San Antonio, Detroit, Miami, and Dallas - all hold 2-0 leads. Some people pegged the Bulls or Grizz as the surprise teams, and while 2-0 isn't the same as 4-0, I can...

2005-2006 Playoff Predictions

Time for this year's insanely inaccurate playoff predictions! But before we begin, let's review my oracle skills from last season, when I made my 2004-2005 playoff predictions . My Eastern Conference picks were nearly perfect. I ended up picking all of...

The Resurgence of the Eastern Conference

So it's playoff time again, and this year's playoffs look like they'll be one of the most even and exciting in quite a while. This year, IMO, has finally seen the resurgence of the East. Sure, last year we had some great teams in the East (notably Indiana...

My Insanely Inaccurate 2004-2005 Predictions

Accurately predicting the outcome of an NBA season is hard enough when you have just a core of stable, dominant teams, but it's near impossible this year, with so many teams in the league reaching parity, thanks in part to some blockbuster trades and...

Big Game Tonight

The Lakers take on the #1 Western team, the Sacramento Kings, tonight. The game is on ESPN but, naturally, I'll be teaching tonight and only able to follow the game on the Internet during class breaks. Meh. The Lakers have won their last five games, but...

Lakers Pick Up a Much-Needed Win

The Lakers beat the Cavs tonight, 111-106, in an overtime thriller in Cleveland. LeBron poured in 32 points on 12-26 shooting, hitting all four of his three-point attempts. Payton and Shaq dominated for the Lakers, Gary with 30 points and Shaq with a...
