YAYsports! NBA

(Jack Cobra back and ready to attack, or something like that)
My entire world has been turned upside down in the past few days. First of all, my Chicago Cubs are in first place, everyone knows this. Next, I’m getting ready to go on vacation with the little lady and everyone knows how that usually goes. […]

(We really didn’t want to make his hair pink, but we’re in a hurry and were having some Photoshop troubles this morning. We were going for an aqua/turquoise thing, in order to represent “fear” and/or “genuinosity”.)
The 07-08 NBA schedule is due to be released soon, and word on the street is that the not-so-classic Shaq-Kobe […]

Hopefully this isn’t where they send the crooked NBA ref, ’cause if this is prison, sign us up lasterday.

Thanks to Defamer.

By far the biggest story of the first round so far was the Warriors taking out the Mavs in Game 1 of their series, followed by the Warriors emotional implosion in Game 2.
Many will tell you that sums up the GSW team as a whole - immensely talented and equally as unstable.
We prefer to […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. The following was not written by him, although he may write something of his own in the next 24 hours.)
Hola.  Today is the last Thursday in April, I am Jordi Scrubbings, and hopefully no one pulls the plug on me early as you wait in joyful hope for the return of the […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence due to excessive laughing. The following was not written by him, although he’s pretty sure you knew that.)
Joey Crawford doesn’t want to ref in a league where he can’t throw out superstars for laughing.
As you probably know by now, veteran referee Joey Crawford was suspended […]

Weird game lasterday* in Washington DC, also known as our nation’s capital.
Short version: Wiz down two, foul called on Gilbert with a tenth of a second left, Warriors Coach Don doesn’t like it, screams, gets technical. Gil makes three free throws, WAS wins.
GSW obviously would’ve preferred they go to OT, rather than have the game […]

We’ve sat back for a long time and acted all confused about the use of the term “beef” in rap music.
However, we’re finally ready to admit that we completely understand. We get it. You’re not talking about dead cow muscles used for food - you’re talking about a grudge over a specific issue. (As opposed […]

With all the turmoil about this new “no excessive complaining” rule (it’s not “zero tolerance”), the players have been looking for help anywhere they can get it.
Unfortunately, the only place they have to go is their union, which is arguably horrible in terms of how much power they have. (”Horrible” is probably generous btw.)
Anyway, the […]

Rasheed Wallace is on pace for 82 technical fouls this year, and although the one he got last night was costly, it wasn’t the real reason the Pistons lost to the Jazz in Utah.
No, that reason would be our former nemesis Carlos Boozer and the rest of the Utah frontcourt.
For a couple years now, […]
