YAYsports! NBA

We’re going to discuss this Suns/Spurs business one more time, now that we’ve heard from the offending (and offended) parties.
This is a non-joke zone, because we actually have an opinion here, and it’s probably not the popular one, based on what we’ve read elsewhere. (Please read carefully before you yell at us.)
After watching all the […]

With only an hour to go before Lasers-Bulls Game 5, the NBA has provided the TNT crew with some vital material for their pregame show.
As suspected, Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw have been suspended for Game 5 of the Western Finals for leaving the bench during the skirmish lasterday. Robert Horry got two games for […]

(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. He did not write this but he did write the post prior to this one….)
I’ve had a couple of days to get over the Bulls demoralizing defeat at the hands of the Nets on Wednesday and I think I’m finally able to start to think about […]

We missed parts of Lakers/Spurs on Sunday - actually, we missed all of it.
What this means is we totally didn’t get to see Kobe’s return to attacking people in their faces. (The most famous of these attacks - the infamous “Raja Face” incident of last year’s Playoffs.)
Anyway, Kobe apparently laid a nice elbow to […]

Tonight’s the night - Melo is unsuspended and ready to gear up against the Memphis Grizzles.
The Nuggets have certainly gone through their share of changes in the 15 games he’s been out - Earl Boykins is in MIL now, and of course Allen Iverson is in Denver.
As for how Melo is feeling about his return, […]

For those unaware - we’re recapping December, which we used to not blog.
We were actually watching this game, and turned it off because of a combo of the game being a blow-out and the Nuggets’ black uniforms taking us someplace we didn’t want to go.
That’s a personal story for another time, so let’s focus on […]

With Ron Artest only now getting around to serving his community service sentence for his small part in the Detroit Brawl back in 2004, one would think his perspective on the whole thing may have changed.
That perhaps there’d be some regret…maybe some remorse. A bit of “I could’ve handled that better” or a smidge of […]

Mavs coach Avery Johnson is understandably upset at the suspension of his key sixth man Jerry Stackhouse, and went on the radio yesterday to vent a bit.
He’s also clearly embraced the reality that the Mavs may not be completely keyed in down there in Southern Florida, what with all the tans and boobs and […]

Well, that little love-tap from Stack to Shaq in Game 4 is suddenly a little more “ooops” than “whoa”.
The NBA has suspended Jerry for Game 5 Sunday, which means he can’t play, giving the alien-fueled Heat another advantage besides home court.
NBA VP of Stuff Like This chatted with both players, reviewed the tapes, and brought […]
