The Boston Celtics were the talk of the NBA this offseason. They got Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen. With Paul Pierce, the Celtics trio of superstars make them the favorite in the East. These big moves might be a sign that the East is tired of being the Western Conference punching bag. [...]

The NBA season is upon us, and I figure I might as well make some predictions. Last season, the Warriors and the Jazz made noise in the playoffs. The Warriors beat the number one seed, Dallas Mavericks, while the Jazz made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals. It going [...]

The Western Conference has a lot of strong teams. The Spurs and Mavericks should once again be at the top of the bunch. With the new playoff format, instead of meeting in the second round, they should meet in the Western Conference Finals. The Suns and Clippers are right there as Western [...]

Basketball season starts tonight, so I figured I might as well make some predictions. The Miami Heat look to repeat as champions, but they have the Chicago Bulls hot on their heels. The Bulls added Ben Wallace, which should put them with the elite teams in the East.
Atlantic Division
New Jersey Nets- [...]

The Conference Semi-Finals are taking place, and the biggest story is the reigning champs, the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs lost in overtime last night, and are on the ropes, trailing the Mavs 3-1. The Dallas Mavericks are too quick for the Spurs, and we all know the Spurs aren’t good at coming [...]

The Lakers were able to jump out to a 3-1 series lead. Since game 4, emotions have been high. Raja Bell’s hard foul on Kobe Bryant in game 5. Without Bell in game 6, Kobe scored 50 point, but the Suns won game 6 in overtime. With game 7 in Phoenix, [...]

In the best game of the NBA Playoffs so far, the Lakers are one game away from advancing to the next round. Steve Nash started the game on fire, while Kobe was in major foul trouble in the first half. Still, the game was tied at halftime.
The Suns had a five point lead [...]

While the NBA playoffs are underway, and so far home-court has been a big deal. Only the Nets, Cavs and Suns have lost at home so far. The Pistons have a 2-0 lead, and are well on their way to an easy sweep. The Spurs are up 2-0, but needed overtime to [...]

Pistons vs Bucks
Detroit goes onto the next round, very easily
Pistons 4-0
Heat vs Bulls
The Bulls are one of the hottest teams going into the playoffs. I would have preferred the Magic to make it, but the Bulls might win a game or two in this series. Too much Wade and Shaq.
Heat [...]

It’s time for NBA All-Star Saturday Night. The stars were out, but either on bench, or in non dunk events. The festivities began with the national anthem sung by Walter McCarty. And you know what I like it, why spend money on a regular singer, when you got a basketball player who [...]

Now that football season is over, I have to get into basketball. I haven’t been as into it as I should be, but with the All-Star game coming up, that means its the second half of the NBA season. Here are some things I am looking forward to in the second half.
Dallas vs [...]

The NBA Slam Dunk Contest is coming soon, and I can’t wait. I’m a big fan of the Dunk Contest, and I don’t know why it gets criticized by the media. People say nothing new is being done, but last year had some fresh dunks like Amare Stoudamire getting and alley oop from [...]

It’s odd covering a basketball game right after NFL Championship weekend, but something freakish happened in this basketball game. Kobe Bryant had 81 points, yes 81 points in a basketball game . Kobe had 55 points in the second half, as he led the Lakers to a win over the lowly Raptors. [...]

I haven’t been keeping as close an eye on basketball as I should. Which is a shame, a lot of things are happening in the NBA. The thing I’m the most interested in is the battle being waged by Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson. The one ups manship going on is [...]

The annual Christmas game from now on, Los Angeles Lakers vs the Miami Heat. Kobe vs Shaq, Pat Riley vs Phil Jackson, good vs evil. I’m a Lakers fan so I was upset while eating my Christmas dinner. It was a good basketball game though, as Kobe and Shaq engaged in [...]
