YAYsports! NBA

We got an email from someone who claims to be in the know, and since we don’t worry about verification and such things, we’re just gonna run with this.
An additional reason? No NBA basketball watching for us this past week.
Anyway, here is portions of a back and forth we had with some dude via email.
when […]

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 […]

Ladies and gentlemen…the 2007 NBA Eastern Conference Finals, aka The Battle of the Distracted.

Okay, so LeBron gave you maybe a quarter and a half, but it was the correct quarter and half. Cavs beat the Nets in 6, and move on to face the Detroit Lasers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Contrary to how we’ve been […]

In the chat with Becky we posted the other night, we mentioned to her that we didn’t really have that passion for the Cavaliers we’d had in years past, ie our entire life.
“Why?”, she asked, and perhaps you asked, too.
Well, if you haven’t been reading all season, we have a really hard time getting […]

The headline in today’s Beacon Journal uses the word “enraged” to describe the mindset of LeBron James.
This in the aftermath of Nets forward Mikki Moore’s takedown of Sasha Pavlovic in Game 4, of course.
As any longtime reader knows, we’ve long been a proponent of one “Angry LeBron”, he being the version of LeBron who […]

Well, in what can roundly be called one of the ugliest games ever, LeBron and the Cleveland Jumpshooters beat Vince and the New Jersey Jumpshooters in Game 4, allowing them to go up 3-1 with the next one Wednesday in CLE.
By all logic, they should take the series at that point, but of course, this […]

(This is the sentence wherein we pay lip service to the Suns-Spurs Game 3 (Winner in bold!), which was a better game, with more interesting storylines, and a more important outcome series-wise.)
If you’re making a list of complaints about lasterday’s Cleveland loss to New Jersey, you may want to start with something along the […]

Tuesday was a unique day for us for many a reason, not the least of which is that we can say we were legitimately excited to watch the Cavaliers for the first time since roughly November.
To our delight, they beat New Jersey in confident (if not beautiful) fashion, and are now up 2-0 in the […]

We weren’t going to write anything on Cavs-Nets Game 1 until tomorrow morning, but Killbane, ESQ emailed us before the game to inform us of the following:
My excitement level can be summed thusly: at tip-off, i will be persuing the wares of rag-pickers, alleyway junk stealers, and turkey-jurkey vendors at the kane county, illinois flea […]

Everyone has been throwing up that “The Warriors” movie picture and I just couldn’t do it this time, I hope you don’t mind.
As everyone knows tonight the Golden State Warriors try to close out one of the most exciting playoff matchups in recent history with a victory over the Dallas Mavericks. There are so many […]
