The NBA regular season starts this coming Tuesday with an epic opener – the Boston Celtics playing the new Miami Heat! And later that night, the Lakers take on the Houston Rockets to open their season. With LeBron’s “decision,” the Lakers coming off back...

2008-2009 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 - such as my prediction last year of a Lakers / Celtics Finals with the Celtics winning in 6 - but most...

The Phoenix Suns Trade Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to Miami for Shaquille O'Neal

The Phoenix Suns have stunned their fans by giving up on the admittedly disgruntled, yet talented Shawn Marrion, trading him (and Marcus Banks) for the once dominant, but now pedestrian Shaquille O'Neal. Wow. Shaq's physical prowess and dominance peaked...

The Timberwolves have Officially Reached the Rebuilding Stage

What took them so long? Back in the early 2000s the Minnesota Timerberwolves showed some promise. They surrounded Kevin Garnett with Sprewell and Cassell and the Wolves made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals in 2004 (only to lose to the...

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...

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...

With Raja Bell in the Lineup, Suns Even the Series at 2; Miami and Detroit in Game 5 Tonight

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...

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...

Is It a Five Horse Race This Year?

We're nearing in on that magical time of year again - NBA playoff time - and the question on my mind is are there any real contenders other than San Antonio and Detroit? If anyone can topple either the Pistons or Spurs, I envision it will be one of the...
