YAYsports! NBA

(LeBron really seems like a new man this year, if what we’re reading is correct. Then again, posts like this indicate this is like last season, when everything looked fine per box scores and highlights only.
If someone is willing to help us out, we’d like to make our own assessment by sneaking a peak at […]

(Jack Cobra reporting for duty once again.)
Joakim Noah has become my favorite player on my favorite team and I’m not even sure why. He’s only played one game and it wasn’t even a real one. He wasn’t even able to participate in the Summer League schedule the Bulls played because of a bum shoulder. He […]

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 […]

With all the uproar over the Suns/Spurs suspensions and the resurrected malaise of the Lasers, a lot of people forgot that last night there was a Jazz-Warriors game.
Of course, was it a Jazz game or a Warriors game? Whose storyline is this now, anyway?
Whatever the case, the Jazz won and the Warriors are […]

After the Jazz’s Game 4 victory over the Warriors lasterday, Golden State fans are left a bit disheartened.
We can’t say we blame them, especially when it was one of those games that kinda reminded us of the Baron Davis we know from our normal lives, ie “before that crazy Mavs series”.
The Warriors just seemed kinda […]

Because we enjoy getting way ahead of ourself and the rest of the world (especially those in the PHX area), let’s assume we end up with a Spurs-Jazz Western Conference Finals, and pair it with a Pistons-Cavs Eastern Conference Finals.
(For the record, even after last night’s Utah win to go up 2-0 on the Warriors, […]

(The Cavalier is no longer on an extended leave of absence. The following was not written by him, as he mercifully allowed me my one phone call.)
Hello. As this is my last post as a YAYsports substitute, I must admit there is no easy way to say good-bye. Today … today … today […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. He did not write this because he is busy trying to find Ding-Dong’s for Eddy Curry.)
There are very few things worse for me than having an idea about something I want to write about……and then having other people write it to death. Here and here. It […]

We tepidly watched the Seventy-Sixers beat the Jazz last night, waiting for the inevitable moment when Carlos Boozer would come up with some small hamstring tweak or hangnail - anything that would allow him to dodge his return to Cleveland for the third straight year.
Thankfully, it didn’t happen, and the showdown everyone in CLE has […]

Yes, we know we should be talking about the Suns-Mavs instant classic 2OT mega-game.
At the very least, we should be addressing the start of the NCAA Tournament. (Although we fall into the Marc Stein camp of “just not that into it” - at least beyond Ohio State.)
However, on a limited time budget, we can’t […]
