  • Midway Through the First Round...

    We're nearing the midway point of the first round of the NBA playoffs... let's see how my predictions are faring. Let's start with the East... I picked Detroit to sweep Orlando, and they did that this afternoon. I predicted that the Cavs would sweep the Wizards, and they are playing right now with the...

  • 2006-2007 Playoff Predictions

    Each year I post my playoff predictions before the start of the playoffs, from the first round through the Finals. In last year's predictions I mistakenly picked the Pistons besting the Heat and the Spurs beating the Mavs, resulting in a Spurs-Pistons rematch with the Spurs taking the title again. Whoops...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Kobe a Laker for Life...

    ... assuming he stays a free man. Today Kobe Bryant announced that he was resigning with the Lakers for a seven year deal worth over $136 million - that averages to nearly $20 per year. Bryant supposedly was listening to offers from Chicago, Denver, New York, and the Clippers, but decided to stay with...

  • 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 from K-Mart in Game 1 of the series, hitting the floor...
