YAYsports! NBA

All word is that LeBron is having one of his best seasons ever, and that the Cavs are on the upswing suddenly.
Good for them - in another life, we would’ve been the happiest boy on the planet. Many of your emails are asking us why we’re not.
We probably do owe you an explanation of […]

If you weren’t aware, the NBA All-Star Game is in New Orleans next year.
Normally that’d be all there is to say about that, except today…today is different. You see, lasterday the 2008 New Orleans All-Star Game logo was unveiled, and Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler, who grew up in the city and loves being […]

(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 […]

As the Cavaliers rolled over the Trailblazers last night and continued their “best record in the East” thing, we periodically checked the score of Pistons v Hornets, just to make sure we could wake up this morning and still say “we told you so”.
Detroit loses at home to NO/OKC, and looks disjointed and uninspired doing […]

The early read of the standings is mighty confusing this season, and perhaps no part more so than the Portland Trailblazers sitting at 4-2.
Yep, that’s where they are after 6 games (4+2=6!), the fourth victory coming last night over the Hornets. (also quick starters at…4-2.)
The catalyst behind this quick start?
None other than one-time hotel-patron Zach […]

Undeniably one of the best divisions in the NBA. Also one of the most interesting and the most boring. NO/OKC is worth keeping an eye on, but is anyone really expecting them to do anything? DAL/SA will be there, and everyone knows it. HOU will have injuries that result in averagocity. Memphis already has them.
Watch […]

Maybe we don’t follow the Sonics as closely as we should.
We were aware of the arena issues and quality of play issues, but we had no idea the team was this close to being sold.
There’s supposed to be a press conference tonight, and at said conference, the new ownership group from Oklahoma City will […]

With signing season officially open yesterday, there’s all kinds of press conferences going on. For example: Chicago will allegedly get to meet Ben Wallace today.
In New Orleans, Peja Stojakovic, who many thought was the prize of the free agent group, was officially intro’d to the city he won’t actually be playing in, which would be […]

We kinda called this way back like a few days after Katrina, and frequently thereafter, not that it was a hard call to make.
The Hornets’ owner is pretty much like one of the most worstestest people in sports, both on a moral and business level.
Operation: Stay in the OKC is now in high gear, with […]

The Hornets have had a rough go of it as of late, losing 8 in a row and slipping out of their playoff spot. Then there was that whole thing where they sucked last year and the hurricane.
Let’s also not forget the ESPN the Magazine cover story on Chris Paul that turned out to […]
