Bynum Return Still Up in the Air

In mid-January, Andrew Bynum - the Laker's only true big man - went down with an injury that was scheduled to keep him off the hardwood for eight weeks. Well, eight weeks have come and went, and still no Bynum. A couple of days ago, Phil Jackson was quoted...

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...

Back on April 22nd I made my NBA playoff predictions . I am notoriously poor when it comes to making predictions, but, if you don't mind me saying, I did a pretty decent job in picking the teams through, at least, the first round. Eastern Conference My...

My Playoff Predictions

The NBA playoffs get underway tomorrow, so I best be making my picks. Before I do, though, let's look back at my, accurately dubbed, “insanely inaccurate” picks at the beginning of the season . Out of the east I thought the conference would shake out...

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...

I don't follow the Knicks, nor the Nets, but after reading Tim Thomas's comments on K-Mart's hard foul , I'm hoping Tim gets back out on the court before this series is over to see if he walks the walk, or just talks the talk. Thomas took a hard foul...
