YAYsports! NBA

We think everyone is familiar with the infamous “Stephen A Smith eats Cheese Doodles during commercial breaks” hecklers from last year’s NBA Draft. It made the rounds on Deadspin and YouTube, and became quite the sensation. (Here’s a link if you’ve never seen it.)
Well, they were back this year, and it’s beyond classic. Realizing that […]

Just as most Boston fans, if they follow their typical patterns, have between last night and this morning convinced themselves the Ray Allen deal is for the best, we too have re-evaluated it.
Difference being we still feel the same about it - it stinks.
THAT SAID, the Celtics have some options here - namely, completely ditch […]

(Jack Cobra reporting for duty on Friday. I’ll be gone all day, so I’ll leave you with two posts to discuss until The Cavalier comes in.)
Everyone is going to be coming out with their ‘Winners/Losers of the Draft’ and the ‘Grading the Draft’ posts today, so I’m going to stay away from that (at least […]

(Jack Cobra here with one of my two posts for Friday. I decided to pass on ripping on the Celtics for now. To breakdown the draft is so ‘last year’.)
Now that the draft is over everyone will look at who their team drafted and either say, “My team drafted/traded for that guy!!!” Or, “My team […]

Zach Randolph, Dan Dickau, and maybe something else for Channing Frye and Steve Francis(’s contract).
Wow, this is a great deal for the Knicks. We’re kinda jealous. Granted, Zach in NYC could possibly be a social disaster, but they also now have the best combo of quality scoring and chubbiness you could ever hope for […]

When we were coming up with ways for Danny Ainge to destroy the Celtics tonight, it never even occurred to us that he would trade the #5 pick (and Delonte West) for Ray Allen.
Why do this? It just makes no sense.
Allen is a really, really nice player and all, but do Ray Allen and […]

Hot off of his Yardbarker blog, Greg Oden has announced that he’ll wear #52 on his basketball jersey when he plays basketball in the National Basketball Association.
The number I’m going to wear is 52. It’s a mix of my high school and college number. So wherever I go, I hope to get 52. I […]

After all the dust settles…after the trade winds die down…after the angst and the distress subside…Kobe Bryant is gonna be just fine staying with the Lakers.
Why, says you?
Because GM Mitch Kupchak is finally going out and getting him a suitable running mate.
Yep, you might as well marker in the Los Angeles Lakers as your 2008 […]

So yeah - the draft is tonight, and allegedly Greg Oden and Kevin Durant are the two best players available.
We’re 36% sure that’s true, and…that’s all. What else can be said when the Hawks keep screwing around and messing with making Kevin Garnett 3-way trades actually happen?
Upsetting, to say the least, although there’s something […]

(Reason #241 we don’t understand Europe: this is picture of Germany Head Coach Adolph De La Heichenbein celebrating winning some European tournament with his daughter.
Now, we know we have a history of being somewhat protective of our sister, and in that spirit, let’s just say that if our dad ever tried to look at […]
