YAYsports! NBA

(Jack Cobra once more)
One of the tougher aspects of being a blogger is deciding when to post certain information. For example, this morning I thought it was more important to post about The Cavalier being influential than posting about one NBA ref having some issues with fixing games and the Mob/Mafia/Underground. By now I’m going […]

We’re sure you’re busy making plans for your own personal contributions to the Alonzo Mourning Farewell Tour, but we think it’s equally important that you check in on the goings-on with Bucks draft pick Mr. Yi Jianlian and the team’s ongoing struggle to get him to play for them.
The whole mess has a new snag […]

While top pick Greg Oden genuinely seems happy and humbled (through the use of non-capitalization, no less) to be a member of the Portland Trailblazers, #6 pick Yi Jianlian is about 179 degrees the other direction when it comes to being a Milwaukee Buck.
This was all somewhat expected, and now it’s official - Yi’s reps […]

When we were coming up with ways for Danny Ainge to destroy the Celtics tonight, it never even occurred to us that he would trade the #5 pick (and Delonte West) for Ray Allen.
Why do this? It just makes no sense.
Allen is a really, really nice player and all, but do Ray Allen and […]

Hot off of his Yardbarker blog, Greg Oden has announced that he’ll wear #52 on his basketball jersey when he plays basketball in the National Basketball Association.
The number I’m going to wear is 52. It’s a mix of my high school and college number. So wherever I go, I hope to get 52. I […]

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 […]

(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. The following was not written by him, although he is sorry it was written at all.)
So I had a nice long(ish) post previewing tonight’s Cavs-Bucks and Bulls-Nets games. It was great. I discussed the possible first round matchup with the Heat and how […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. The following was not written by him, although he did recently find a word that rhymes with “orange”.)
Howdy, y’all.  Remember me?  I’m Jordi Scrubbings, soul brother number one over at The Serious Tip.  Once again, it’s Thursday and that means it’s my day in the sun here at […]

While plagiarizing our latest post, which was to be about Michael Redd and Ben Gordon’s combined 100 point scoring outburst in the CHI victory over MIL lasterday, we came across a little news item which may be of interest to those who follow this NBA.
Dwyane Wade has decided to forego surgery for now and attempt […]
