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...

2007-2008 Playoff Predictions

Each year I post my (insanely inaccurate) playoff predictions prior to the start of the postseason. I some rare circumstances my picks are spot on, but most of the time I take a gamble or two and end up blowing the whole postseason (like last year, I picked the Dallas Mavericks to beat the Detroit Pistons...

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...

Pistons Wave the White Flag on Darko, Trading Him to Orlando for Cap Space

The Detroit Pistons have finally admitted what the sports nation has known since 2003 - they made one helluva mistake in the 2003 draft with their #2 pick, taking Darko Milicic above Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony.

Where Will Latrell End Up?

What's the over under on how many days Latrell Sprewell will be out of action? Currently the troubled (perhaps a bit washed up) player has put out the feelers to a lot of teams, but it doesn't sound like anyone's interested. There's been rumors that he's been in talks with the Heat, the Magic, the Hawks...

Grant Hill won't play this season...

According to this ESPN article Grant Hill won't play until February 2004 at the earliest, and likely not at all this season. This doesn't surprise me, there always seems to be a set of players who are just injury prone (ahem, Vince Carter). What I never understood is why the Magic went after Hill in...

For You Four Orlando Magic Fans Out There

Check out TJ's blog, OrlandoMagicFan.com . He's got a lot of great thoughts and posts about the Magic, everyone's favorite 8th seed team. :-) It's too bad Hill didn't pan out for them, but I remember thinking back when they dropped those hundreds of millions of dollars for him, "What in the world are...
