YAYsports! NBA

Guess what?
For the first time in probably 18 years, we didn’t watch the NBA All-Star Game.
Out ambivalence toward the league is becoming quite odd - by all accounts, this is the best regular season in recent memory, LeBron James is having his best season ever, there are huge trades happening left and right, and the […]

Brian Windhorst has weighed in on the “LeBron has been working on his jumper” story, which for us solidifies it as a real thing that’s actually happened.
(We live day-to-day in a world where nothing is real until Brian Windhorst says it is.* This makes the summer/NBA offseason a partcularly difficulty time.)
Anyway, it’s confirmed. LeBron […]

Dear lord!

Dear Lord du la duex MVP de la Finale NBA!
(Thanks du la Hilton Perez et dans la garage.)

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 […]

UPDATE: Brian Windhorst does an insane amount of math and explains how LeBron got screwed, ie the voting system is a mess.
In their continuing delay to announce Germany’s first-ever league MVP, the NBA has thrown a massive jab step by unveiling the All-NBA Teams.
Some quick things out of the way - no Shaq, no […]

A common theme among recaps of yesterday’s Suns-Spurs Game 1 will center on Dirk Nowitzki’s upcoming MVP trophy presentation.
Because we love a good cliche, we shall go the same route, and note that while Dirk was sitting home lasterday, the other main candidate, Steven Nash, was simultaneously trying to get back into a tight game […]

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 […]

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 […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. He did not write this although by this time next week…..he will be back.)
(I hope you enjoy my entry into the manipulation of logos. It is just THE beginning. I now know I have the power to do so, now I just need to master it.)
There […]

We’re big on like large lists of things, especially when those lists come at the midway point of the season. With The Basketball Jones doing their midseason report and ESPN doing theirs, we feel no need to do things like give Dirk a midseason MVP award.
Instead, we turn our bright, beautiful, and overly honest eyes […]
