YAYsports! NBA

…yeah.
Morning soon. More then.

You either saw that or you didn’t.

In case you’ve forgotten, tonight is the pivotal Game 5 in the CLE-DET series. Pivotal being defined as:
piv·ot·al –adjective
1. of, pertaining to, or serving as a pivot.
2. of vital or critical importance: a pivotal event.
3. not having to do with Kobe Bryant
[Origin: 1835–45; pivot + -al]
Many a prediction are flying around, and most take into […]

(The Spurs beat the Jazz - move on to the Finals. Bleh.)
We don’t care what he said on Dan Patrick’s show (or various other shows) about reconsidering or how many times he goes back and forth on this - now that he’s officially on the record as saying he wants out, Kobe Bryant has to […]

UPDATE: Kobe has officially asked for a trade…wow.
The Lakers are a complete mess at the moment, but as of this morning, there’s a little more to it than that.
For some reason, three years later, Shaq and Kobe have moved to the forefront of the situation in Los Angeles. At least for us.
If you haven’t […]

There were many, many incredible moments for Cleveland fans during last night’s victory over the Ex-Lasers, and we’ve pinpointed our favorite fairly easily.
No, not Boobie’s 12-12 freethrow performance or various drives. No, it wasn’t Sheed’s self-implosion or Chauncey’s various late-game screw-ups. It wasn’t LeBron’s inspiring fast-break oop from Gibson, either.
Nope…it was Rip Hamilton trying to […]

Quick - scramble for an excuse, Pistons fans.
It was Chaunc…no, he had 23.
Ooh! Tay was off…wait. He had 15.
Rip! No…19.
What about Rasheed - he managed to mentally take himself out in the 4th, but do they really want to lay all blame there?
Hmmm…it seems the Cleveland Cavaliers simply beat the one-time Lasers again […]

So last night the Jazz and Spurs played Game 4 of their series, and…aw, who cares? The Spurs won (and are up 3-1), Derek Fisher and Coach Jerry got tossed, there was a foul imbalance, Deron Williams is really good, and the Utah fans threw stuff.
Seriously, that’s all there is, except for the apparent celebrity […]

Okay, so this has been all over the place in the past 24 hours. Let’s run down the sequence of events:
1) ESPN’s Ric Bucher says that Kobe Bryant will demand a trade if Jerry West isn’t rehired as the Lakers’ general manager.
2) Kobe says that’s not so to the LA Times. (The trade request part, […]

First of all thanks to all of you for being so respectful of our wishes not to be spoiled on the game, considering we were watching it late.
Unfortunately, we didn’t cover all of our bases, and were spoiled anyway.
Alas, the important thing is they won, and that LeBron James played like he’s supposed […]

Couple notes for today’s CLE-DET Game 3 - we’re shooting pick-ups on the movie late this afternoon, so we’re not going to be able to watch the game until like 9 Pacific Time.
If you can do us a favor and not send us any emails regarding the outcome until at least 3am Eastern, we’d […]
