YAYsports! NBA

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 […]

Sorry to get all negative, but we simply must wrap up on the Pistons’ “dynasty”.
Check out this quote from the poster-boy for good sportsmanship, Rasheed Wallace.
“I don’t think we are slipping,” Wallace said. “The other teams are trying to build up and make themselves better. I think the other teams are starting to catch up.”
Okay, […]

There were many, many incredible moments for Cleveland fans during last night’s victory over the Ex-Lasers, and we’ve pinpointed our favorite fairly easily.
No, not Boobie’s 12-12 freethrow performance or various drives. No, it wasn’t Sheed’s self-implosion or Chauncey’s various late-game screw-ups. It wasn’t LeBron’s inspiring fast-break oop from Gibson, either.
Nope…it was Rip Hamilton trying to […]

Quick - scramble for an excuse, Pistons fans.
It was Chaunc…no, he had 23.
Ooh! Tay was off…wait. He had 15.
Rip! No…19.
What about Rasheed - he managed to mentally take himself out in the 4th, but do they really want to lay all blame there?
Hmmm…it seems the Cleveland Cavaliers simply beat the one-time Lasers again […]

Couple notes for today’s CLE-DET Game 3 - we’re shooting pick-ups on the movie late this afternoon, so we’re not going to be able to watch the game until like 9 Pacific Time.
If you can do us a favor and not send us any emails regarding the outcome until at least 3am Eastern, we’d […]

Unfortunately, we don’t have much time this morning, but allow us to say the following about the CLE loss to DET last night:
Not bad.
They showed up and competed, but if there’s one complaint…yeah, it has to do with LeBron. (We’re not talking about the last play - that was executed as drawn up, although […]

We know it’s Jack Cobra’s day and all, but we’d feel a little weird if we didn’t put up some kind of sour-puss post regarding tonight’s Cavs-Nets Game 6.
Fear the Sword asks if the Cavs “have the stones”. Umm…no, they don’t. If they did, there wouldn’t be a game six at all.
Our own Jack […]

Well, this hasn’t gone like I thought it would. The playoff match-up that I thought would be the best (cough, cough) has turned into a laugher. It’s not even one of those laughers […]

We apologize for our absense lasterday. Normally we let you knwo these things ahead of time, but we were too busy reading about the complete 911 history of Ron Artest and Family in Sacramento and wondering how exactly Shaq gets to host a reality show about overeating.
Alas, we unfortunately can return for only a solitary […]
