Where is the accountability, David Stern? How can the NBA possibly reward this guy after his performance during game 6 of the Cavs-Celtics series? I’m not even going to get into all the foolishness that went on in that debacle, but lets just say I’ve seen Harlem Globetrotters - Washington Generals games that were more legitimate.

Its been a while since I’ve posted, but I am reinvigorated for the playoffs. An amazing NBA season came to a somewhat uneventful end. The only intrigue over the past few weeks was the battle for the last playoff spot in the West. Now that all the dust has settled on the [...]

The consensus around here (Boston) and most of the country is that no one wants to play Cleveland come playoff time. After what Lebron did last year to the Pistons, I can sort of see that point. Even with Lebron playing out of his mind, I don’t see Cleveland as that scary [...]

I feel like there’s two things in this world that I know way too much about… 90s hiphop and NBA basketball. So what better way to spend part of my day off from work than to tell the 2007-2008 NBA season through 90s hiphop lyrics. Without further ado, on to the lyrics…

NBA All-Stars 2007-2008
Will Camby finally make an All-Star team?
Voting for the 2007-2008 NBA All-Stars is now over and the starters have been named. As usual, NBA fans have screwed it up and voted for popular players (cough, Carmelo Anthony) rather than the most deserving. In this post, I will do my [...]

Vince Carter for Jermaine O’Neal Deal Back On?
It is being reported that the Nets and Pacers have resumed talks of a trade that would send Vince Carter to Indiana for Jermaine O’Neal.
The Nets should think long and hard before they trade Vince Carter for Jermaine O’Neal. It seems like everyone loves to pile [...]

In a follow up to “Which College Basketball Conference has the Best Players?“, I figure I’d take a look at NBA players who bypassed college and went straight to the NBA as well as International players. With the new NBA rules in place, these will be the last High School players to jump straight to [...]
