YAYsports! NBA

Looking at the games on the schedule tonight, obviously CLE-WAS is the one we’re gonna be eyeing the closest, followed by the true game of interest, HOU-UTA Game 5. They’re tied up 2-2 and all. (Spurs-Nuggets is a San Antonio formality as far as we’re concerned.)
Our picks would be CLE, UTA, SAS. We simply don’t […]

TrueHoop Henry emailed us this pic from the Lakers-Suns game lasterday, suggesting we might like to mess with it in some way. Perhaps in celebration of PHX being up 3-1, and yet another first round series becoming a non-event.
Allow us to explain a few things here, okay?
1) We rarely do requests.
2) When you title […]

With the Bulls sweeping the Heat almost an afterthought in this All-New Warriors-centric World, one can’t help but feel a little bit of sadness for Coach Pat, Dwyane Wade, Shaquille O’Neal and Co.
Actually, that’s not true at all - this is sweet, karmic, justice.
The team that so much as said “we’re gonna relax […]

There’s a few things one must remember this morning, and the biggest one would be that the Suns were down 3-1 to the lakers last postseason, then came back to win the series.
Of course, they weren’t a bunch of headcases like the Mavs.
We feel a little bad going so deep into this knowing what […]

Quick survey you should give yourself this fine Sunday afternoon if you have a moment…
When was the last time (if ever) you did any of these things?
*Said (either to yourself, out loud, or on your blog), “Man, I can’t wait for the Warriors game to start!”
*Actively hoped for great things to happen to Stephen Jackson.
*Skipped […]

While the now-swept Magic’s Grant Hill considers retirement, we sit back in the wake of the Cavaliers’ going up 3-0 on the Wizards wondering one thing, and one thing only:
How is 30/6/9 a “near triple double”, as the Associated Press would have you believe? That’s a nice line for LeBron and all, but it’s not […]

While a lot of people are startled and/or aghast at the Warriors going up 2-1 on the Mavs as of lasterday, we’re more surprised to find out that Dirk Nowitzki is from Germany.
That last part of that sentence is a lie. In reality, it’s late Friday night and we were trying to get this post […]

By far the biggest story of the first round so far was the Warriors taking out the Mavs in Game 1 of their series, followed by the Warriors emotional implosion in Game 2.
Many will tell you that sums up the GSW team as a whole - immensely talented and equally as unstable.
We prefer to […]

Continuing our surprising non-coverage of the NBA Playoffs, let’s move to Seattle, where apparently there was some meeting lasterday wherein new owner Clay Bennett finally admitted he’s likely to move the SuperSonics somewhere else asap.
The real shocker isn’t the admission, but rather the place cowboy is looking to move, ie Las Vegas, and not Oklahoma […]

With the 2007 season all but finished, it’s time to start looking at 2007-2008, and that means determining who’s on the covers of the video games.
By all accounts, meaning this one report here, NBA Live 08 will feature none other than Gilbert Arenas, who beat out LeBron James for the coveted spot.
Two things […]
