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...

Artest is Back!

Ron Artest is back - and in more ways than one. Artest played in his first NBA game tonight since “the brawl” back in November 2004, recording 8 points, 3 boards, and 3 fouls. But not only is he back in presence, he's also back in spirit. Before the game...

Assessing my Playoff Picks Thus Far

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...

Most Exciting Endings of All Time?

There have been a gaggle of professional basketball games played over the years, so it's not surprising that there have been some amazing endings to games. Last night, Tracey McGrady provided such an ending, helping the struggling Rockets overcome the...

Response to recker17

This is in response to recker17's blog entry, In Response to Scott , which was in response to a comment of mine in recker17's blog entry Pacers-Pistons Brawl . recker17, do you really, honestly think that Artest lying on the scorer's table is anything...

Stern Hands Out the Suspensions

In my last blog entry I predicted suspensions for the players involved in Friday night's fracas in Detroit: Artest and Jackson I said I wouldn't be surprised if they were suspended for the entire season, and at least for a month or more. For O'Neal I...

Brawl in Detroit

I was running some errands this morning and saw a picture of Artest on the cover of the L.A. Times, his jersey stretched out like he had been in a fight. “Damn,” I thought, “looks like Artest went crazy again, maybe he needed a suspension for some more...

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...

What was Artest Thinking!?!?

With the Pacers losing Game 6 tonight, 69-65 , the 2004 NBA Finals will be the Lakers vs. the Pistons. I watched most of Game 6 tonight, and it was a pretty exciting game after the first quarter. Of course, as the score reflects, it was not a shootout...

Lakers Pick Up Game 3

Well, I didn't get to see this game, but I did get to listen to the last six minutes or so on my drive home. Sounded like an odd game - Kobe not scoring in the first half; GP with 18 points . About the only thing that did seem familiar was the outcome...
