We’re super-busy working on possibly the longest Carnival of the NBA ever, which is due tomorrow. The record shall be ours - we know this, because there is no record so far that we know of.
So we’re like at the computer, we’re checking comments, and we’re writing for the site - it’s just that most […]

We don’t have nearly the affection or attention span for baseball as we do basketball, and as we’ve said previously, we don’t really follow the thing unless the Indians are in it.
Thus, we haven’t built up the healthy man-hate for “A-Rod The New York City Yankee” that most have.
THAT SAID, he’s 0-everything in this series, […]

As we close out the week and (at this exact moment) what’s-his-name throws a first strike for the Tribe against the New York City Yankees, we present the first batch of links in the NBA blog team previews thing that bastard Jeff from Celticsblog has turned into an annual thing.
And you thought we didn’t how […]

It’s begun…with a weird signing.
4 years, $24M - we figured any number of teams would throw that at former Heat-person Jason Kapono, being that he’s one of the best shooters (percetage-wise) in the NBA. But Toronto?
It’s weird not so much because they offered, but because we figured Kups (what we called him when he […]

Crucial Game 6 tonight in the East, as the Nets have a chance to take their series (at home) against the TOR Rnaptors.
We’re gonna be on this one, as the winner of this series obviously goes on to play the Cavaliers in the next round. If NJN wins tonight, the CLE-NJN series starts Sunday, which […]

(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 Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. The following was not written by him, although he did recently find a word that rhymes with “orange”.)
Howdy, y’all.  Remember me?  I’m Jordi Scrubbings, soul brother number one over at The Serious Tip.  Once again, it’s Thursday and that means it’s my day in the sun here at […]

Well, the Cavaliers kick off the stretch run tonight in Toronto, and LeBron claims to be inspired by Dwyane Wade insulting his efforts.
Would be nice if one didn’t need such kicks in the arse, but if it works, we may manage to remain a fan. Optimism rules, at least until 7:00 Eastern Standard this evening.
Let’s […]

The 2007 Atlantic Division is, of course, one of the top ten worst things to ever exist on planet earth (Modern Era). It lies somewhere after Hitler and before “Family Guy”.
That said, the Toronto Raptors are determined to get the division off that list, and their climb back to .500, which was accomplished last night […]

The battle of the Next Nowitzki and the Current Nowitzki was one of only two games on the schedule yesterday, and it turned out to be a good one.
(It was no “pictures of Posh Spice arriving in LA“, but what is?)
Yeah, so Dirk’s Mavs and Bargnani’s (& Bosh’s) Raptors got it on in Canadia, and […]
