YAYsports! NBA

We forgot to mention one thing in the NBA post below…the Celtics. Yeah, they’re really good. We get it.
(Boston professional sports teams have lost 3 times total in like the past three months or something - has there ever been anything like this? What can they possibly be complaining about?)
Anyway, here we go - […]

Um.
Yeah.
This whole ALCS is becoming a bit too “Cleveland-y” for our tastes, and with the City of Boston Red Socks fans acting all “Boston-y”, ie obnoxious/entitled, we nearly became sick to our stomach last night.
So tonight is Game 7 - it’s pretty much anything can happen, right?
We’ve been reminded twice already about the time […]

(Hollinger has all of his team previews up over at ESPN - here’s the link to the Cavs.
He’s saying they’re going with 54 wins and a loss in the ECF. We’re holding off any predictions until we see what happens with the roster this month. Oh, and that leprechaun says he wants to play […]

We were lucky enough to happen to stumble upon Detroit Bad Boys’ post about the Team USA scrimmage being shown on FoxSports lasterday afternoon, and missed only a minute of what was one of the better basketball games of the past year.
With all the recent problems the NBA has seen, including an awful regular […]

(Jack Cobra back in action. I couldn’t find a pic of Grant Hill slamming home that alley-oop at Duke with that amazing haircut. If you have it, email me at jackcobra@blogsbyfans.com. I’d like to make it my screensaver.)
The ‘hey I’ll play for you, but I can’t sign with you for another week’ free agency period continues […]

So yeah - the draft is tonight, and allegedly Greg Oden and Kevin Durant are the two best players available.
We’re 36% sure that’s true, and…that’s all. What else can be said when the Hawks keep screwing around and messing with making Kevin Garnett 3-way trades actually happen?
Upsetting, to say the least, although there’s something […]

While you’re busy scouring the internet for KG trade rumors, trying to figure out if KG-Kobe in LA actually works (Who plays C/PF?* PG? All the other positions?), reworking your mock drafts, and praying that the Celtics get Jermaine O’Neal for what they were willing to give up for KG, take a moment and watch […]

(Jack Cobra here)
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 […]

Since nobody is very interested in the Spurs going up 2-0 on the Jazz (even Jazz blogs are kinda like, “man, being here is neat.”), let’s get back to the NBA Draft Lottery’s stunning use of karmic energy.
Both of the teams most often accused of losing on purpose to gain a better draft position - […]

Our heart jumped more when the Celtics came out of that envelope at #5 than at any time during the Cavaliers playoff run so far.
Wow.
There’s really not all that much one can say except, “Negative 439 Tommy Points to Mr. Karma!”
We can’t even make fun of those poor fans - pick #5 is […]
