How Much Does Coaching Matter in the NBA?

The playoffs this year have been fantastic, but no series have been as intense as the Lakers v. Jazz series was. What made this series so entertaining was the raw competitiveness of the 10 players on the hardwood. So many talented players, all willing...

Welcome to the Second Round

What a first round! While there were a number of snoozer series that lacked a single competitive moment (I'm looking in your general direction, Denver), there were plenty of exciting battles, some where I expected, others in less expected series. While...

First Round Impressions

Just before the start of the playoffs I submitted my annual playoff predictions , in which I see the Celtics beating the Lakers in a classic Finals series. I still hold firm to that earlier prediction, but clearly some of my other first round picks were...

2007-2008 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, but most of the time I take a gamble or two and end up blowing the whole postseason (like last year, I...

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...

The Hot Hornets Lose to the Hotter Lakers

The Lakers are continuing their hot streak, with a convincing win over the Hornets last night in New Orleans, 109-80. The Lakers shared the ball especially well, with five players in double-digits and with Kobe's high of 19. Every single Laker on the...

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...
