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...

Drunk and Masturbating

Don't know if I can top the lead off paragraphs to this story about Minnesota Timberwolves center Eddie Griffin: On March 30, Minnesota Timberwolves center Eddie Griffin was drunk and masturbating when he crashed his luxury SUV into a parked Suburban...

The Resurgence of the Eastern Conference

So it's playoff time again, and this year's playoffs look like they'll be one of the most even and exciting in quite a while. This year, IMO, has finally seen the resurgence of the East. Sure, last year we had some great teams in the East (notably Indiana...

$5 Down the Tube

With Minnesota's loss last night to Seattle the Timberwolves are officially out of the playoff hunt in the West, and I am $5 poorer. I was in Vegas prior to the start of the season and (foolishly) put down $5 on the T-Wolves for winning it all this year...

This and That...

The NBA has seen two darling teams emerge this year: the Sonics and the Suns. The Suns, though, have been falling from favor as of late, tonight losing their fourth in a row to Detroit, 80-94 . This game, like the three previous loses, was without assist...

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...

One of the Noisiest Offseasons in Memory

Usually NBA offseasons are pretty quiet, nothing too interesting happens. A big trade, perhaps, an early retirement, or maybe a surprising un-retirement. But usually the months between July and October are pretty uninteresting for us NBA fans. This offseason...

The Latest on Payton and Malone...

This time last year I was wondering whether the addition of Payton and Malone would help or hurt the Lakers ... and now, a year later, I'm wondering what will happen to these two likely Hall of Famers. Payton, who has been traded to the Celtics, is still...

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...

Lakers Lose Game 2

Well, the Lakers lost their second in their series against the Wolves by 18 points last night in a game that got physical and resulted in seven technical fouls down the stretch. Cassell came out very early in the game with a tight back, but did not need...

Lakers Pick Up Game 1

The Lakers won Game 1 of the WCF series, besting the Wolves 97-88 . The Lakers played well: Shaq stupefied all by shooting 81% from the free throw line, sinking 9 of 11; Malone outscored and outrebounded KG, picking up 17 points on 8-13 shooting; Kobe...

Wolves Hang On

The Wolves won, 83-80 . A huge game for Kevin Garnett, ratcheting up 32 points, 21 boards, and five blocks. Good to see him respond like this to Peeler's elbow. This is, by far, the best way to get back at a thug-like play. (Although I still think he...

Will the T-Wolves Collapse?

A short break in teaching, checking out the T-Wolves / Kings game. What excitement. Sam stepping up and hitting his free throws - too bad his team mates didn't do the same, or the game would be over by now. 16 seconds left; Kings ball, down by three,...

Second Round Playoffs Make Up for the First Round

The first round of this year's playoffs were, understandably, a bit disappointing. While Miami and New Orleans went seven games, the remaining series were uninteresting at best. In all eight series, the better team won. And to top it off, it took weeks...

Hoping for a Speedy Recovery for Tim Thomas

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...
