YAYsports! NBA

Oh look!
Oh look!
There they run!
The Celtics of the City of Boston!
There they run!
All awash in their green little jerseys!
Green! The color of grass! The color of part of the rainbow!
Oh look!
Oh look!
The splendor of their names!
Across the back of their jerseys!
Piercey, and and Alleny, and Garnetty, there they go!
Points, and rebounds, and other statistics of […]

As part of the Blog Resurrection, we’ll be hosting Carnival of the NBA Number Fifty-Three, which promises to be the most different NBA Carnival of all time.
Reasons for this are secret, because we like to make vague statements, not back them up, and then drop bombs that essentially say “told you so, dummies“.
Submissions are […]

We felt something. In fact, a genuine “Yeah!!” exploded from our mouth on one of LeBron’s late jumpers.
We immediately went to the restroom, splashed some water on our face, and mumbled something like, “My god…what’s happening…am I back…did I really leave…need guidance…help…”
More later (ie “Monday”) - we have to check out for the rest […]

Isn’t it a little early for this?
C’mon, we’re as intrigued (well, probably not actually) as the next person about how good the Celtics really are, but ESPN is either borderline insane or just fishing for headlines.
Twelve years ago, the Chicago Bulls set a standard of success that many think will never be matched: 72-10 in […]

On this NBA Season Eve*, We’re sorting through a hefty share of emails regarding the Pistons’ Rasheed Wallace claiming that the NBA basically fixed the series with the Cavaliers last season, ie the league wanted LeBron in the Finals.
We’re not sure how that works, when the Pistons let him drive down the lane like 100 […]

Look, we know you’re looking for NBA stuff, but with the Indians on the verge of the World Series, it’s simply not gonna happen.
THAT SAID, there were some great NBA pics lasterday, including the “Kobe as Serial Killer” and the funniest storyline of the preseason, “Ray Allen Gets Uncomfortable When Kevin Garnett Swears”, which […]

We don’t actually think that, but “Anderson Varejao’s Agent, Dan Fegan, is Insane” simply has no flow as a headline.
Most NBA team have their media days today, and the Cavaliers are no exception. Not present are free agents Sasha Pavlovic and the aforementioned Brazil-person.
Both are technically holding out, hoping the Cavs will cave in and […]

We’re about to dive side-first into the NBA preseason. As it usually doesn’t, it’s snuck up on us this year.
And lest you think we’re the only NBA blogger of note to feel a sense of discontent with this whole deal, Shoals over at FreeDarko is having his moment of discontent, as well. Nobody wants […]

Undoubtedly, one of the biggest NBA storylines we’ll neglect to cover this season will be the KG-led Boston Celtics, with their duo of All-Stars, plus Paul Pierce.
Fortunately for you, there are other places where you can read about Danny Ainge’s Brain Typing Wunderkinds. Like Celticsblog (a blog about the Celtics), where we got the […]

If you were on the lookout for NBA stars this weekend, you could’ve done worse than LA.
Yes, the LA Stars Charity Game was going on, and a whole bunch of stars, plus Dahntay Jones came out to hoop it up. Tim Hammer of the LAist was there to witness it all, and it couldn’t […]
