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 […]

Not today, no. Not even tomorrow.
We’re talking about in summer 2008. Yes, the US blew out another team (this one was known as Porto Ree-Coh) lasterday, and have earned their spot in the Beijing Olympics.
When we say “blew out”, what we’re saying is that Kobe, LeBron, etc are killing everybody by large amounts of points, […]

(Jack Cobra reporting for duty on Friday.)
By now I know that I’m the only fool saying that Team USA is not on its way to winning the Gold in the 2008 Olympics. Everyone from Chris Sheridan, to George W. Bush, to WSM? star actress _______ is saying that Team USA is a shoo-in for a […]

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 reporting for duty once again)
By now you all know about my infatuation with USA Basketball and my disappointment that Team USA is not the best in the world. I’ve been reading all of Chris Sheridan’s reports on ESPN.com and I’ve been following the first two games of the 2007 FIBA Americas Championships (both […]

We were lucky enough to happen to stumble upon Detroit Bad Boys’ post about the Team USA scrimmage being shown on FoxSports lasterday afternoon, and missed only a minute of what was one of the better basketball games of the past year.
With all the recent problems the NBA has seen, including an awful regular […]

Unless you want to wildly speculate on what, where, when, and how crooked NBA referee Tim De-whatzit shaved some points for his gangster buddies, there are only small tidbits of various things to talk about this fine Saturday morning. As such, this is what we shall do.
Kobe has his first taste of Team USA action […]

(Jack Cobra back. This may or may not be my last post of the day. The Cavalier wanted more posts with his likeness in it. Feel free to comment on that attire…..)
This weekend Team USA kicks off its training camp to prepare for the ‘Tournament of Americas’ and essentially, the Beijing Olympics. I recommend keeping […]

The great thing about this post is going to be how it comes out all blazing like it’s a commentary on Melo’s first career triple-double, when really it’s never mentioned again after this.
You see, this post is about the Suns, although the Denver team is the springboard, since they’re the team PHX beat last […]

We’re not sure why people hopped on Kobe’s “Team USA needs chemistry” statement like it was some kind of controversy - we read it as “we need chemistry…and that’s what this 3-year program is all about.” We didn’t see it as a criticism at all. Oh well - the man continues his march through Asia.
