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...

Clipps Advance to the 2nd Round; Lakers Can Clinch Tonight

Last night the Clippers beat the Nuggets in Game 5 to win the series 4-1 and advance out of the first round of the playoffs for the first time in 30 years. Back in 1976 they were the Buffalo Braves and finished the season 46-36 . (This year the Clippers...

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...

How About Them Clipps?

Who woulda thunk it? The Los Angeles Clippers, tied for first place in the Western Conference ! Granted, it's very early in the season, and two of their six wins have come against the Atlanta Hawks, one of only two winless teams left in the League, but...

Ick, Kwame Brown a Laker

Kwame Brown - aka, Mr. Acne; aka, Jordan's Second Biggest President Mistake (his biggest being trading Rip Hamilton for Stackhouse); aka, Mr. Been Arrested and Suspended Twice - is now a Laker . I think I'm going to vomit. If you couldn't tell, I think...

Kobe a Laker for Life...

... assuming he stays a free man. Today Kobe Bryant announced that he was resigning with the Lakers for a seven year deal worth over $136 million - that averages to nearly $20 per year. Bryant supposedly was listening to offers from Chicago, Denver, New...

How About Those Clippers?

On my way home from teaching last night I was fortunate enough to be able to catch the last couple of minutes of the Clippers-Mavs game on the radio. Typically, I just scan on past the Clippers ball games on the radio, and rarely watch one on TV as the...

Why Doesn't San Diego have a Professional Basketball Team?

There are 29 NBA teams. In 2000, there were 29 US cities with a population of 500,000 or more . Only a handful of these 29 largest cities don't have an NBA team, and most of the cities that don't are geographically close to those that do. Ft. Worth, Texas...
