NBA Tuesday: BASG off-season power poll
NBA Tuesday: BASG off-season power poll...
If the start of this NBA off-season has shown us anything, it’s that the split between the elite teams and the schedule-fillers is swelling. Actually, the NBA is on the verge of moving further from parity than at any time since the 1997/98 season, when four teams (Bulls, Jazz, Sonics and Lakers)...

LeBron James hit a half-court bank shot at the halftime buzzer on his way to a 38/8/7 performance in his first game. Kobe Bryant’s Game 1 didn’t include the same type of videogame statistics, but his thunderous dunk over Paul Millsap in the fourth quarter punctuated a Lakers win that was...

Wanna know the future?...
Are you ready for Kobe Bryant’s inevitable scoring explosion to end the regular season? One thing I learned hanging around Vegas sports books this week was the NBA MVP race looks like this: 1. LeBron James 1a. Dwyane Wade 3. Kobe Bryant Not coincidentally, Kobe has gone into his patented “I’m...

The trading deadline has come and gone, and Rafer Alston is the most important player that moved. That was really exciting. Even less interesting than last week’s All-Star Break (extremely underwhelming from start to finish) is the upcoming rest of the regular season, especially in the Eastern...

Beyond ending the Celtics’ ridiculously long winning streak, did the Lakers accomplish anything concrete in this afternoon‘s 92-83 win? Or more aptly put, should Danny Ainge already be on the phone as you read this, contacting the agents for every Senior Citizen Center (SCC) available? You’d...

This morning the commissioner of my fantasy basketball league posted this from Shaq regarding Greg Oden, after The Diesel went for 19 and 17 in a 102-92 Phoenix win over the Blazers: “I’m the Shogun, and before you get to the Shogun, you’ve got to go through a lot of ninjas,”...

It’s like the NBA has turned into South Park, or any other arena where sore losers are the stars. Not that Stephon Marbury has actually taken his leave of absence to have a sex change like Mr. Garrison, more like the majority of the teams have said, “Screw you guys, I’m going...

Speeding tickets and bad draft choices...
I was excited, impatient, and late. While I was attending the birthday festivities for my Nana (87) and cousin Emily (24) in San Carlos, my friends were waiting for me to start our annual fantasy football draft. The birthday party was a blast, but San Carlos is a good two hours away from Occidental,...

I realized something about Team U.S.A. today. It took their weakest two quarters of the tournament, but it became crystal clear that this team isn’t the perfect representation of Mike Krzrzrzrzrzski’s basketball dream, let alone Bob Knight’s. It’s Don Nelson’s. And...

After yesterday’s early-morning marathon Point-by-Point session, I planned on either climbing back into bed or napping on the couch to the sounds of the last quarterfinal basketball game, featuring Argentina and Greece. I don’t know if it was the Coke Zero I drank at 5:30am (something...
