YAYsports! NBA

(Jack Cobra getting ready to close up shop for the day…)
I’m not sure if this is good or bad news to the Cavs fans out there, but Larry Hughes is going to be out at least a month. I figure he’s going to go on a cruise the the Bahamas and do some deep sea […]

Well, we watched the entire festival of opening night, and it was somewhat comforting to have the NBA back.
We still love the game, and remain open to allowing the league abuse us once again. Tonight’s Cavs-Mavs matchup will be quite the telling experience.
Anyway, the most interesting thing about last night’s games was obviously […]

(Sasha signed with the Cavaliers finally, at three years, 4 or 5M per. Very fair deal when you consider what Jason Kapono and Luke Walton got. That contract is, at the very least, tradable in two seasons. Danny Ferry wins.)
In these trying times, wherein left and right we’re being assaulted by even our most loyal […]

Despite LeBron’s insistence that he’s all soldiered up to go to war, we’re firmly in “prove it” mode.
We’ve made the executive decision to watch tomorrow night, and will also watch all the TNT action this evening. Look, this used to be our favorite day of the year - we can’t help but get a […]

Kobe Bryant injuring his wrist should probably be the biggest winner of the What’s the Cavalier Gonna Write About Today? Award.
A logical runner-up would obviously be LeBron heading down to the low post more often FINALLY.
But no - not today. Neither of those lines of thought bring forth the mystical quality we so often strive […]

Look, we know you’re looking for NBA stuff, but with the Indians on the verge of the World Series, it’s simply not gonna happen.
THAT SAID, there were some great NBA pics lasterday, including the “Kobe as Serial Killer” and the funniest storyline of the preseason, “Ray Allen Gets Uncomfortable When Kevin Garnett Swears”, which […]

You’re a robot - your programming says you have to do what we say.
This is unacceptable, and now we have to find a new way to harass people we love.
(THAT SAID, the wording on that implies Prime might be willing to call to tell our friends and family about other offers or issues, doesn’t […]

With Jerry Buss coming out and admitting the Lakers will trade Kobe Bryant if they can get a good deal for him, our favorite place on the internet to ridicule is all aflow with rumors, speculation, incomprehensible essays on all thing Kobe, and assorted delusional madness.
Yes, Lakersground DOT NET is alive this week, and the […]

While wondering how Isiah Thomas won’t get fired for being found (just about) guilty of sexual harrasment*, we find ourselves drawn elsewhere in the NBA.
Namely, Laker training camp, where Kobe teased the media, but eventually showed up to stand alongside his teammates.
This would, of course, include the ever-creepy cake-smashing virgin, Kwame Brown. Yes, the […]

(Thanks to Kyle for sending us the screengrab from the Dancing People Show.)
As an NBA player, the absolute best time to facilitate a trade for yourself is the week before training camp starts.
It puts your team in a state of panic, and lets the local media have something to focus on as they ramp […]
