In my cubicle, biding time in Laker fan ...
I can’t concentrate on work. The same work that has caused my writing on this site to become as sporadic as two consecutive made three-pointers from Ron Artest. Game 7 is less than six hours away, and I couldn’t be more nervous. You see, for those of you who haven’t been reading every...

NBA Action, it’s Make-Uptastic!

NBA Action, it’s Make-Uptastic!...
You’d think for a bunch of guys who are supposed to be the best in the world at their jobs, they’d be better at getting things right the first time. And now, through the trials and tribulations of the 2002 Lakers/Kings series, the ’07 Suns/Spurs series and Tim Donaghy, we expect mediocrity. Is...

Lakers! Celtics! It’s the 2010 NBA Finals Preview!
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Andrew Bynum, Boston Celtics, Derek Fisher, Jordan Farmar, Kendrick Perkins, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Lakers/Celtics, Lamar Odom, Los Angeles Lakers, NBA Finals, Pau Gasol, Paul Pierce, Phil Jackson, Rasheed Wallace, Ray Allen, Ron Artest, Shannon Brown on 06 3rd, 2010 | 1 Comment
Lakers! Celtics! It’s the 2010 NBA...
Think about this series long enough, and you’ll get twisted up in your own thoughts. For as long as we can remember, writers and TV analysts have been given one job every NBA Finals: pick the supposed “x-factor.” Maybe you could say the same thing about every NBA Finals, but this series...

The matchup that will determine the NBA Finals

The matchup that will determine the NBA ...
While both the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers bring back teams to the 2010 NBA Finals that are relatively intact compared to the squads that met two years ago, there are some modest differences. Some people have gone from feisty upstarts to content veterans, some have a chip on their shoulder...

Quit squirrelin’ around!

Quit squirrelin’ around!...
The title of this post used to be my junior high P.E. coach’s favorite expression. If we didn’t line up along the baseline for roll call: QUIT SQUIRRELIN’ AROUND! If we were loud in the locker room: QUIT SQUIRRELIN’ AROUND! If we interrupted him with a question while he was flirting...

Getting ready for the weekend…

Getting ready for the weekend…...
You ever have people ask you sports questions that are impossible to answer? If I had a dollar for how many times my fiance walked into the living room, looked at the score and said, “What’s the matter with the Giants?” I’d have enough money to buy a 6-pack of PBR at AT&T...

NBA Tuesday: Should the Lakers sit Bynum?

NBA Tuesday: Should the Lakers sit Bynum...
NBA Tuesday used to be a regular feature around these parts, and then I finally got a job after a year of freelancing and unemployment checks, and my over-ambitious power-rankings-and-other-NBA-stuff feature became too high of a mountain to climb week after week. In other words, writing such a long post...

Braden, Buster and stolen cable

I haven’t seen the Giants or A’s play in nearly a week on television, unless you count that replay I saw yesterday on the TV above the checkout area of my local overpriced boutique grocery store. I bought an apple tart yesterday to take to the Mother’s Day party, and it was delicious....

What does $100 million buy these days?

What does $100 million buy these days?...
You know those columns where the writer has no idea what point he wants to make, so he just provides a bunch of mind-boggling stats about what ridiculous contracts handed to athletes could buy? For example, Barry Zito’s $126 million contract (if taxes didn’t exist) could pay for 15,750,000...

What a crazy, busy weekend. After you get engaged every weekend becomes sort of planned for you, and it takes skill (and, some would argue, a lack of perspective and an obsessive personality) to fit in all the sports you used to watch in a carefree and sometimes slovenly manner. Since if you’re...
