YAYsports! NBA

(If you want to send me an email, try jackcobra@blogsbyfans.com. I’m just trying to finish out the day.)
I just found out that I get to leave work 59 minutes early today, so I’m hitting you with this and probably one more post before I go celebrate the long weekend. Here are some links to check out […]

We’re watching the press conference on NBATV right now, and the announcer just said to the press, “When you have a question, raise your hand and we will pick on you.” That seems mean.
Dirk and Avery Johnson and everyone are smiling. Shouldn’t they be living in perpetual anguish until at least October? David Stern is […]

UPDATE: Brian Windhorst does an insane amount of math and explains how LeBron got screwed, ie the voting system is a mess.
In their continuing delay to announce Germany’s first-ever league MVP, the NBA has thrown a massive jab step by unveiling the All-NBA Teams.
Some quick things out of the way - no Shaq, no […]

A common theme among recaps of yesterday’s Suns-Spurs Game 1 will center on Dirk Nowitzki’s upcoming MVP trophy presentation.
Because we love a good cliche, we shall go the same route, and note that while Dirk was sitting home lasterday, the other main candidate, Steven Nash, was simultaneously trying to get back into a tight game […]

Okay, now we’ve done some reading of post-game comments and such, and the consensus is about what was expected - Dirk Nowitzki is gonna have an embarrassing MVP press conference.
Throughout the game last night, we kept turning to our game-watching associate and doing updates on how many points Dirk had. Not to be funny […]

Sorry about the absence lasterday - we were travelling and are currently playing with our lil’ nieces for the next few days.
Anyway, we can only peak for ourself, but often when basketball playing people win basketball games in dramatic and unexpected fashion, we forgive them for anything they’ve ever done wrong in their lives. […]

We’re out again today, and we are truly sorry about that.
We could talk about Golden State-Dallas all day long. Quickly - we haven’t been that engrossed in a game we had no vested interest in since…Detroit vs the Lakers in 04. Yes, we were rooting for the Pistons to take down Shaq/Kobe/Gary/Karl back then […]

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 […]

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 […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. The following was not written by him, although he may write something of his own in the next 24 hours.)
Hola.  Today is the last Thursday in April, I am Jordi Scrubbings, and hopefully no one pulls the plug on me early as you wait in joyful hope for the return of the […]
