Mavs-Kidd Trade Final

After a bunch of false starts, the Dallas Mavericks will be landing perennial All Star guard Jason Kidd . The original trade would have involved Devean George and Jerry Stackhouse along with Devin Harris, but with George exercising a no-trade clause in his contract and the League frowning upon Stackhouse...

Pau Gasol's First Game in Purple and Gold

After the stunning trade from the Memphis Grizzlies for Kwame and pocket lint, Pau Gasol stepped onto the court tonight for his debut game as a Laker as a starter. Despite Gasol's sore back - and a season-low 6 points from Kobe - the Lakers came away with a victory over the dismal New Jersey Nets, 105...

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...

Jason Kidd vs. Joumana Kidd - Who Would Win in a Fight?

Net's guard Jason Kidd has filed for divorce from his wife of ten years, Joumana Kidd. Apparently she's been a little to aggressive with Jason, who claims she's hit, punched, kicked, and thrown nearby objects at Jason when getting angry or frustrated. She's also taken a page from the Christie's and has...

Suns Outlast Nets in Top Scoring Game of the Season

So we all knew the Suns were capable of scoring A LOT of points, but no one could've predicted Thursday night's scoring explosion by Phoenix and the New Jersey Nets . Words can't describe the game itself... you had to see it. After two overtimes and a record tying triple-double by Jason Kidd , Steve...

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...
