YAYsports! NBA

We realized after we wrote this that it’s Jack Cobra’s day up to bat, but what’s done is done. Apologies to Jack, who also wrote about a sad-face wearing Central Division big man.
We’re connected, Jack. Do you feel it? We feel it.
Before we get to Mr. O’Neal, we need to give our Barry Bonds […]

With the games lasterday giving us a jolt factor of roughly zero (DET-ORL was a particular bore), we need to skip back a day and cover the first of what promises to be many bold moves of the offseason.
Pacers head-guy Larry Bird and head coach Rick Carlisle had some kind of meeting, at the […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. The following was not written by him, although he has already written his Oscar acceptance speech for Best Director.)
The regular season is over and the playoffs will soon be upon us.  Happy are those who worship at court of the hardwood.
Who’s in? 
The Heat, the Suns, the […]

We had this while post written up about the Clippers being average, and it wa somehow wrapped around how they sent Danny Granger to the hospital yesterday in their loss to the Pacers.
When we had finished, we looked it over and realized that our Clipper knowledge wasn’t really all that deep, but moreso that the […]

We haven’t pulled out the old WTF in awhile, but if ever there was a time, it’s right now.
Indiana and Golden State just did a tradamajig, and here it be:
INDY GETS:
Troy Murphy
Mike Dunleavy
Ike Diogu
Keith McLeod
GSW GETS:
Al Harrington
Stephen Jackson
Sarunas Jasikevicius
Josh Powell
In reality, this probably makes neither team any better or worse by any great margin. Two […]

There are few things more exciting than a disgruntled superstar disgruntling all over his struggling team.
We missed one of the great stories of this nature (Allen Iverson) due to our December sabbatical, so seeing Jermaine O’Neal begin his campaign to get moved away from the Indiana Pacers has us fairly glee-filled.
He’s not out-and-out demanding a […]

That may not be entirely accurate, but if we ran the Cavaliers, that’s exactly where he’d be.
After building a big lead in the first half, Cleveland scored a massive total of nine points in the third quarter and ended up losing by like eleven or something at Indiana.
(No, we can’t be bothered to check […]

Maybe the day you sit out practice with a sore lower back isn’t the best time to go in and demand a trade.
There’s no official confirmation from anyone on the “ask for a trade” portion, but sources are saying that’s exactly what Seventy-Sixers forward Max Veeber has done.
This apparently took place late Wednesday in a […]

Two teams on opposite ends of the various impending power rankings meet up in NYC tonight, as the Knicks and Spurs are about to get it on.
The Spurs, despite dropping a game at home to [fellow contender ] Cleveland on Friday, bounced back to beat the Raptors on Sunday.
The Knicks, on the other hand, […]

We finally figured out a satisfactory way to handle these team previews. Enjoy, but beware - he’s quite the uneven fellow.
Between the first edition of ESPN’s NBA Fastbreak and the end of the exhibition games, we’re officially pumped for the season. Discuss.
