(Hollinger has all of his team previews up over at ESPN - here’s the link to the Cavs.
He’s saying they’re going with 54 wins and a loss in the ECF. We’re holding off any predictions until we see what happens with the roster this month. Oh, and that leprechaun says he wants to play […]

Despite the fact the Great YAY Blog Suicide of 2007 has been an astounding success, we still get our fair share of email from the readership, which is nice.
(Numbers don’t lie - we just checked our stats for the first time in about 8 months, and readership is roughly…no joke…like 1/20 what it used to […]

We’re not on the regular computer, so we’ll have more on this tomorrow morning, all of which will be depressing.
Greg Oden is out for the year - that thing they did on his knee thing?
The dreaded microfracture surgery. There are no laughs to be had here - no jokes to be made. There’s no lambasting […]

While there’s plenty of material to mine in people calling out Isiah Thomas’ coaching ability during jury selection of his sexual harassment trial, we feel something of greater importance must be noted on this Tuesday.
No, not the fact that we’re posting on a Tuesday. That’s normal. (If this were early 2006.)
Number one overall draft choice […]

(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. […]

Bucks GM and casual stand-up comedian (we can’t find the post to reference this, sorry) recently took a trip overseas to sway the man’s reps with his subtle wits […]

We’re sure you’re busy making plans for your own personal contributions to the Alonzo Mourning Farewell Tour, but we think it’s equally important that you check in on the goings-on with Bucks draft pick Mr. Yi Jianlian and the team’s ongoing struggle to get him to play for them.
The whole mess has a new snag […]

As we wrote about lasterday (Yes, this would be posts two days in a row!), Greg Oden has been struggling in summer league.
If you’re a Blazer fan who’s inexplicably looking too much into that and causing yourself a panic attack or two, your days of humbling fears are over.
Greg is getting his tonsils taken […]

Much has been made in recent days of #1 pick Greg Oden’s summer league forays, the thrust of said makings being that he’s not doing very well.
We’ve not seen either of the games he’s played - we’ve only read this write-up on NBA DOT COM, followed up by Marc Stein going all ESPN on young […]

(Jack Cobra with my last post of the day. Enjoy your weekend.)
Answer A) speaks to the ‘Tony Parker’ who likes to spend time commenting on here when he’s not in jail for driving under the influence. Answer B) speaks of the San Antonio Spurs Point Guard who doesn’t miss lay-ups. Apparently it’s like a different […]
