YAYsports! NBA

We have no time for Photoshop, etc today, but we know you need to read our thoughts on this -
Believe it or not, this actually has me contemplating getting League Pass for the rest of the season.
It’s not Gasol-to-the-Lakers or anything, but look at the dynamics of how LeBron plays, and you have be […]

Oh look!
Oh look!
There they run!
The Celtics of the City of Boston!
There they run!
All awash in their green little jerseys!
Green! The color of grass! The color of part of the rainbow!
Oh look!
Oh look!
The splendor of their names!
Across the back of their jerseys!
Piercey, and and Alleny, and Garnetty, there they go!
Points, and rebounds, and other statistics of […]

On this NBA Season Eve*, We’re sorting through a hefty share of emails regarding the Pistons’ Rasheed Wallace claiming that the NBA basically fixed the series with the Cavaliers last season, ie the league wanted LeBron in the Finals.
We’re not sure how that works, when the Pistons let him drive down the lane like 100 […]

As September has worn on and moved forwardish, we’ve kept one eye on (believe it or not) Major League Baseball.
Why, you ask? Well, because the Detroit Tigers are not winning the Central Division.
Our own Cleveland Indians, rightful owners of said grouping of teams, have reclaimed their title as Central Division Champs.
Now, don’t jump […]

One of the most exciting things for the 15 people who can call themselves official members of the Cleveland Cavaliers is the opening of the team’s new training facility, which happened lasterday afternoon.
(Tons of pics of the place here.)
Located across the street from the curiously named “LePeep” cafe, and also full of wonderful opening day […]

If you visit the Houston Rockets’ website on a daily basis like we do, you’ll note that they’ve announced a new color scheme to their court.
This may not be as exciting as Phil Jackson going into the Hall of Fame, or learning the real reason why Gilbert Arenas didn’t have his passport to go to […]

Since we’re vehemently opposed to mock drafts, we suppose we must find some way to address who gets picked where in Thursday’s NBA Draft.
(Before we’re accused of it, let’s just admit it. Yes, we’re opposed to mock drafts because everyone else does them.)
One of the big wildcard picks is bound to be Chinese prospect […]

Well, it looks like Kevin Garnett is willing and ready to use his veto power to keep himself out of Celtic green for next season. I can’t say I blame him. What would the Celtics have if they traded for Garnett?? Still thinking……..still thinking……..oh yeah, Paul Pierce. That’s not enough.
Plus, have you seen […]

Sorry to get all negative, but we simply must wrap up on the Pistons’ “dynasty”.
Check out this quote from the poster-boy for good sportsmanship, Rasheed Wallace.
“I don’t think we are slipping,” Wallace said. “The other teams are trying to build up and make themselves better. I think the other teams are starting to catch up.”
Okay, […]

Well, we’re two days post, and we’re not quite ready to look ahead to the actual Finals yet.
Without going too into it, Saturday night was somewhat emotional around our head, and right now there’s a definite feeling of contentment with just making it. Hopefully this changes by Thursday’s Game 1.
You have to understand - […]
