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 by the Chicago Bulls in 4 games, who were en route...

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 other games have been far too one-sided. Sure,...

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 money, and the Lakers are amazingly playing 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't fathom any of the "Contenders" dropping four of...

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 the first round winners and did predict the Pistons...

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 following three teams: Miami Phoenix Dallas And...

Cubes, on Waiving Finley

Well, Michael Finley has been waived by the Dallas Mavericks, the biggest 'star' to have faced the amnesty rule in this off-season. By waiving Finley Cuban estimates it will provide cash savings for the Mavs of $90 million dollars over the next three years. Yipes, kind of hard for anyone to turn down...

Phoenix Suns up 3-2 versus Dallas Mavericks

Despite the Mavericks success in Game 4, they couldn't stop Steve Nash in Game 5 and the Suns came out victorious. Thanks mostly to Nash's first career playoff triple-double and only his 3rd ever, the Suns overcame a close game in the 4th quarter to take a 3-2 lead in the best of 7 series. Amare Stoudemire...

Suns/Mavericks Series analysis

Game 1 Recap The Phoenix Suns started out in Game 1 by thoroughly running the Mavericks right off the floor. Had they wanted to, they could've easily won the game by 40 points. Dallas came out flat and never really got close enough to contend. Amare Stoudemire for the Suns was virtually unstoppable in...

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 pick : Heat (1) beats New Jersey (8) in 6 Results...
