YAYsports! NBA

(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 […]

For us, today’s NBA focus is not on the pending preseason, but inside of various American courtrooms, where the Knicks and Sonics are tackling issues related to sexual harassment and rootin-tootin, relocating ownership groups.
We’ve covered Isiah and the Knicks situation not nearly enough, but a quick read of ESPN’s Chris Sheridan will get you up […]

Team USA is barrelling through anyone and everyone that gets in their path in this Tourney of the Americas thing, and while we haven’t watched any of the games, we talked on the phone to someone who watched part of one.
When you add in the skimming of this article, we’re left in the perfect […]

(Jack Cobra with my final post for the day. Enjoy your weekend)

For those of you who didn’t know, I am a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan. You can now begin to make fun of me even more in the comments section. Anyways, the Cubbies are up for sale and the man everyone thought would bid for […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. He did not write this because he has been coaching me in preparation for my first ‘Adventure Race’ this Saturday.)
Many interesting things happened in the NBA last night and while it is my duty to bring them to you……I’m just going to talk about one of […]
