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...

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...

My Playoff Predictions

The NBA playoffs get underway tomorrow, so I best be making my picks. Before I do, though, let's look back at my, accurately dubbed, “insanely inaccurate” picks at the beginning of the season . Out of the east I thought the conference would shake out like so: Detroit Pacers Heat 76ers Bucks Cavs Nets...

Response to recker17

This is in response to recker17's blog entry, In Response to Scott , which was in response to a comment of mine in recker17's blog entry Pacers-Pistons Brawl . recker17, do you really, honestly think that Artest lying on the scorer's table is anything but inciteful? If he needed to cool down, to get...

Stern Hands Out the Suspensions

In my last blog entry I predicted suspensions for the players involved in Friday night's fracas in Detroit: Artest and Jackson I said I wouldn't be surprised if they were suspended for the entire season, and at least for a month or more. For O'Neal I predicted a 10-15 game suspension. For Ben Wallace...

Brawl in Detroit

I was running some errands this morning and saw a picture of Artest on the cover of the L.A. Times, his jersey stretched out like he had been in a fight. “Damn,” I thought, “looks like Artest went crazy again, maybe he needed a suspension for some more time on his album.” When I got back, I hit ESPN...

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 player movements in the offseason. (On an aside, can...

What was Artest Thinking!?!?

With the Pacers losing Game 6 tonight, 69-65 , the 2004 NBA Finals will be the Lakers vs. the Pistons. I watched most of Game 6 tonight, and it was a pretty exciting game after the first quarter. Of course, as the score reflects, it was not a shootout, but rather a battle of defense. There were some...
