Suns / Spurs Series Recap

This series is going back to San Antonio for Game 3 on Saturday with the Spurs up 2 games to none over the Phoenix Suns. Despite the best record in the league and homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs, Phoenix is struggling from the get-go, and hasn't had enough juice left in the 4th quarter to...

My Playoff Predictions

Looking back at my playoff predictions at the start of the postseason , I'm doing pretty well save for my one (admitedly) risky guess - Nuggets over Spurs in the first round. Save that one miscalculation, I've been spot on, even getting the number of games it would take for a number of the series. And...

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...

$5 Down the Tube

With Minnesota's loss last night to Seattle the Timberwolves are officially out of the playoff hunt in the West, and I am $5 poorer. I was in Vegas prior to the start of the season and (foolishly) put down $5 on the T-Wolves for winning it all this year, who had 5-1 odds at the time. Last night's loss...

This and That...

Come playoff time I think this year will boast the most exciting, competitive playoff games from both conferences since the early 90s. What happened to the Eastern Conference, anyway? In the 90s there were some great teams: the Bulls were solid throughout the 90s, even during Jordan's baseball hiatus...

This and That...

The NBA has seen two darling teams emerge this year: the Sonics and the Suns. The Suns, though, have been falling from favor as of late, tonight losing their fourth in a row to Detroit, 80-94 . This game, like the three previous loses, was without assist leader and floor general Steve Nash, who'll remain...

The Suns Record and Some Other Stuff

Following Bill Simmons popular “mail-bag articles,” ESPN.com's Eric Neel's latest article is a similar response to recent emails. I only mention it because I thought he had a very good comment on the Suns current record and the (un)likelihood of them reaching or exceeding the Bulls' 72-10 record from...

Most Exciting Endings of All Time?

There have been a gaggle of professional basketball games played over the years, so it's not surprising that there have been some amazing endings to games. Last night, Tracey McGrady provided such an ending, helping the struggling Rockets overcome the Spurs . The Spurs were up by 7 with under a minute...

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...
