  • 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 and wanting to take the big shot, no one shirking...

  • 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 the Spurs/Suns series had some exciting moments...

  • 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 significantly off the mark. For starters, I thought...

  • 2007-2008 Playoff Predictions

    Each year I post my (insanely inaccurate) playoff predictions prior to the start of the postseason.

  • Los Angeles Lakers Clinch Playoff Berth

    With a 112-108 win against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday , the Lakers clinched a coveted playoff spot in the highly competitive Western Conference. (Also, Friday's game was Pau Gasol's first game back since tweaking his ankle a couple weeks back.) Only two West teams - the Lakers and New Orleans Hornets...

  • 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 as saying that Bynum wouldn't be back until...

  • 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 to get all of those games played. While the first...
