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...

Los Angeles Lakers Clinch Playoff Berth

With a 112-108 win against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday , the Lakers clinched a coveted playoff spot in the highly competitive Western Conference. (Also, Friday's game was Pau Gasol's first game back since tweaking his ankle a couple weeks back.) Only...

Kobe to the Mavs? Not Likely....

One of the stories to follow this season is the Kobe trade watch. Two teams that are commonly discussed concerning a Kobe trade are the Dallas Mavericks and Chicago Bulls. However, Mavericks owner and dancing extraordinaire Mark Cuban has officially iterated...

Midway Through the First Round...

We're nearing the midway point of the first round of the NBA playoffs... let's see how my predictions are faring. Let's start with the East... I picked Detroit to sweep Orlando, and they did that this afternoon. I predicted that the Cavs would sweep the...

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...

Referee Joey Crawford Suspended Indefinitely

I watched Sunday's Mavs-Spurs game and was as mystified as everyone else when Tim Duncan picked up his second technical foul while sitting on the bench. This clip shows how Timmy gets the first technical (sitting on the bench) and then the second, laughing...

Add Dwayne Wade to the List

Michael Jordan. LeBron James. And now Dwayne Wade. That short list is the list of players who, over time, have, by their mere presence, been sufficient cause for watching a pro basketball game. I watched as many games in the Detroit/Cavs series as I could...
