(Jack Cobra back on another Friday. Just wait until you see my next post. It will change your world. Nothing I write today will rhyme with the word ‘dresser’)
I had an idea for a whole different post to start the day and then I heard the news….Stevie Franchise has signed with the Houston Rockets. I […]

Since we’re vehemently opposed to mock drafts, we suppose we must find some way to address who gets picked where in Thursday’s NBA Draft.
(Before we’re accused of it, let’s just admit it. Yes, we’re opposed to mock drafts because everyone else does them.)
One of the big wildcard picks is bound to be Chinese prospect […]

(Again, Jack Cobra. I do not have the ability to leave comments, so the comments portion is like Thunderdome for today.)
It’s Memorial Day Weekend and we are all getting time off work to celebrate……our country? I think? I’m not sure. Here in Indiana it is the weekend of the Indy 500, so we are pretty […]

While the biggest and brightest game of the night was obviously GSW-DAL and the Baron Davis Hamstring Saga, the lead-in to that was another good one from probably the most overlooked series of the first round: Utah-Houston.
After the Jazz win of evening the last, this thing is going 7 games…but nobody’s really talking about […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. He did not write this but all of the contributors for YAYSports would like to send their thoughts, condolences and prayers to the residents and students of Blacksburg, VA.)
Wow, what a day yesterday. I have to admit that most of my time was spent watching MSNBC, FoxNews, […]

(The Cavalier is on an extended leave of absence. He did not write the following, although he has taken control of my body a la Patrick Swayze did Whoopi Goldberg).
Now that the formalities are out of the way, it’s time to chat about the Association.
Kobe dropped a mere 43 in the Lakers’ 115-113 victory over […]

We’re going to tread carefully here with what follows, as we’re not in the mood to jump to conclusions regarding the guilt of Sacramento forwards at the moment.
Ron Artest was arrested this morning for allegedly beating up and/or injuring a woman in his estate type place in the suburb of Loomis.
Deputies arrested Artest […]

Sorry about the headline - don’t get all worked up.
This isn’t happening like, immediately. Sooner than we’d all like to think, though.
Last night during the TNT showing of Bulls v Rockets, Tracy McGrady stated that he plans to retire when his current contract is up.
That’s three years from now, when he’ll be only […]

Last night ESPN had a special Sunday NBA broadcast, in celebration of the big game between Shaq’s Heat and Yao’s (aka “not T-Mac’s”) Rockets.
What 2-3 years ago was an epic battle between the league’s last great center and it’s potential next great center is now, unfortunately, a one-sided slap-fight attended by the league’s only great […]

The Mavs and Rockets played last night in - wait for it - TEXAS.
It was definitely a statement game of some kind, and what we’ve struggled with the past three-plus minutes or so is who exactly it was a statement game for.
First, let’s get the result. Houston blew out Dallas, taking an early 12-0 lead […]
