YAYsports! NBA

Well, the Cavaliers went ahead and extended Coach Mike for two years, which by our math, saves us about $300 in “we’re not getting League Pass again until the Cavaliers get a new coach” fees.
We don’t need to go in-depth on this, do we?
In other Cavs news, LeBron got away with drunk driving at […]

One of our ongoing angsts of the 2006-07 NBA season has been the obvious offensive buffoonery of the Cavaliers own Coach Mike.
Bad offense, low motivation, and strange rotations plagued this team all year - so much so that we pretended to stop watching them twice.
The results are truly stunning - the team is in the […]

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 […]

With 15 minutes to go before Lasers-Bulls Game 3, we must post one more thing for you. It is short, it is sweet, and it is perplexing.
Coach Doc gets another term of service as man-in-charge of the Celtics. Celticsblog is pretty indifferent.
I would have preferred to look elsewhere for a coach, perhaps Rick Adelman. […]

The Cavaliers fifth straight win. Udonis Haslem giving the Heat their sixth straight victoire on a last second shot.
A mysteriously late-to-shootaround Kwame Brown…who had a birthday (and a cake?) of his own, which didn’t help the Lakers avoid complete destruction at the hands of the Mavs.
These are all things that are worthy of attention this […]

So PP signed his new extension, and Celticsblog wanted some caps on this picture.

You could say Ainge looks happy here, but we think it’s more vexed, probably because while the brain-typing of his team may be aligned, their direction is here here here here here and here.
And we don’t know what to say about […]

Word is Isiah Thomas was cautiously optimistic the 2006-07 salary cap was going to rise to $150M - unfortunately, it’s coming in at $53.1M.
Maybe by 2010 Zeke can clear some space, because that’s the year Dwyane Wade becomes a free agent - he’s now reported to be doing the 3-year extension with the Heat ala […]

After speaking with LeBron James on the whole contract extension thing, Melo is pondering a similar deal - one which gives him an out clause after three years.
Of course, ESPN isn’t leading off Sportscenter with teases like “Why Melo can, by the grace of God, leave Denver early!”, but what can ya do…
Then […]

For the believers, sit back and remain civilized and/or satisfied.
For the non-believers, start working on your LeBron trade demand rumors for January and February.
For those of you who came here through a Google search for “Jessica Alba ass”, you’re at the wrong site.
We’re on our way out the door - more later, as soon […]

Based on the emails we’re getting, some find it awkward that we haven’t commented on the “LeBron James hasn’t verbally committed to his extension yet” non-story.
This especially after Simmons’s attempt to induce hysteria in his 40 Most Untradable article, which was excellent, as that annual piece always is.
Here goes - it’s a non-issue. We […]
