YAYsports! NBA

(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 […]

For us, today’s NBA focus is not on the pending preseason, but inside of various American courtrooms, where the Knicks and Sonics are tackling issues related to sexual harassment and rootin-tootin, relocating ownership groups.
We’ve covered Isiah and the Knicks situation not nearly enough, but a quick read of ESPN’s Chris Sheridan will get you up […]

(Jack Cobra….again)
It seems that everyone is taking the NBA Summer Leagues way, way too seriously. It’s like when I steal my girlfriends running shoes. You only need feet to run, relax. Anyways, If J.J. starts shooting well…..he becomes the next Larry Bird, if the foreign dude for the Warriors plays well…he becomes the next Ginobili. […]

Well, our half-baked, not actually believed in nor desired dream of Rashard Lewis becoming a Cleveland Cavalier is over.
Last night, Mr. Lewis agreed to a max deal with the Orlando Magic, leaving the Sonics with nothing to show for arguably their best player, unless a sign-and-trade can be worked out between now and July […]

While you’re attempting to analyze the mid-career insanity of the All-New Stephon Marbury, realize this: every team in the NBA is trying to get their hands on Seattle free agent power forward Rashard Lewis.
He’s an unrestricted free agent, which means he can go anywhere he wants. Of course, only a few teams (ORL, CHA, someone […]

Just as most Boston fans, if they follow their typical patterns, have between last night and this morning convinced themselves the Ray Allen deal is for the best, we too have re-evaluated it.
Difference being we still feel the same about it - it stinks.
THAT SAID, the Celtics have some options here - namely, completely ditch […]

Our heart jumped more when the Celtics came out of that envelope at #5 than at any time during the Cavaliers playoff run so far.
Wow.
There’s really not all that much one can say except, “Negative 439 Tommy Points to Mr. Karma!”
We can’t even make fun of those poor fans - pick #5 is […]

Continuing our surprising non-coverage of the NBA Playoffs, let’s move to Seattle, where apparently there was some meeting lasterday wherein new owner Clay Bennett finally admitted he’s likely to move the SuperSonics somewhere else asap.
The real shocker isn’t the admission, but rather the place cowboy is looking to move, ie Las Vegas, and not Oklahoma […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. The following was not written by him, although he has already written his Oscar acceptance speech for Best Director.)
The regular season is over and the playoffs will soon be upon us.  Happy are those who worship at court of the hardwood.
Who’s in? 
The Heat, the Suns, the […]

The whole “what is the new ownership of the Seattle Sonics gonna do” thing is finally beginning to move forward, with rootin-tootin owner Clay Bennet unveiling his fake arena plans, which he’ll use to continue to pretend he wants the team to remain in Washington State.
It’s all very numbery and confusing, but basically the state […]
