Well, if there’s one thing that can drag us out of Blog Hibernation, it’s a good Laker trade.
Moreso than that, we’d say a good Pau Gasol trade is what really gets us going. It reminds us of a story we told once. Allow us to rehash:
Once upon a time, Pau Gasol was walking down the […]

Excuse us for our lack of posts today, but…wait, we never post anymore. Forget we apologized for that.
Anyway, Darko signed a three year deal with Memphis, and that means good things for Cavaliers fans. Mainly, Andersen Varejao is gonna be cornered into accepting a Drew Gooden-esque, favorable to Cleveland deal.
Nobody can offer him anything substantial […]

(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 […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence due to his involvement in the firings of eight US Attorneys. He apologizes for the inconvenience. The following was written by someone who is not the Cavalier)

In his rematch against the Grizzlies (who are the only team not to win consecutive games all year), […]

A thread over at LakersGround suggesting the now Lamar Odom-less Lakers tank the rest of the season got us wondering how the main tank-jobs of 2007 are faring in their quest for the #1 pick.
Celtics - have won four in a row, including a 2OT win over the Timberwolves lasterday. (Lasterday?)
Seventy-Sixers - have won […]

If you can drag yourself away from DetroitBadBoys’ “most comprehensive ever” Carnival of the NBA for a moment, we’d like to direct your attention to something we mentioned briefly in a previous post.
This seemed to have been bubbling and/or rumored for awhile, but now it’s more or less official - Memphis All-Star power forward Pau […]

Tonight’s the night - Melo is unsuspended and ready to gear up against the Memphis Grizzles.
The Nuggets have certainly gone through their share of changes in the 15 games he’s been out - Earl Boykins is in MIL now, and of course Allen Iverson is in Denver.
As for how Melo is feeling about his return, […]

Ex-Memphis Head Coach Mike Fratello is likely sitting back this morning and saying something like, “Look at that point total my ex-team put up!”
Why? Because his ex-team put up a lot of points last night in their victory over the Golden State Warriors. This stuff isn’t difficult - quit making it so.
144-135 was the final […]

Well, the feel good story of the year is well under way.
We still can’t believe we’re supporting this movement, but Isiah’s Knicks won their first game of their season last night. Not only that, but they managed to do it in triple overtime, on the road. (The victim? Memphis.)
There were smiles and hugs and laughing […]

Tonight…it begins.
Tonight…Isiah Thomas begins his quest to retain his job, taking the helm of the New York Knicks as Head Coach.
Knicks at Grizzlies. 8PM. NBA League Pass.
We wish it were a more intriguing match-up (Seriously- the Griz? Who made this schedule?), but this is exciting for smart-ass writers and fans everywhere.
Isiah, as […]
