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 ...

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...

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...

Lots of stuff on the Internets worth linking to today, and I promise that none of the following links consist of mathematical formulas backing up Bill Belichick’s decision to go for it on 4th-and-2 last night in their own territory. I don’t even care what the numbers say — I’m...

I knew Andre Agassi was up to something. Crystal meth was a bit surprising, I saw Agassi as more of a testosterone and coke guy, but it’s still not shocking, considering Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Martina Hingis and probably countless others have railed up before playing Grand Slam matches. The...

Thanks to SGL for checking out People.com and finding this little gem. (I know what you’re thinking right now. “Suuuuurrrre buddy, your GIRLFRIEND was reading People.com…bwahahahahahahaaaaa!!!” Really, it’s true. I was too busy watching E’s “Daily 10″ while...

I don’t know why I like mock drafts so much. Their usefulness and/or accuracy usually get squashed by the time the draft starts, if not before. Especially in the NBA, where the general managers aren’t afraid to make trades based on a whim (or a friendly relationship with another GM they used...

Shaq dealt, is Nash next?...

I can’t wait for the NBA Draft, because I want to see if it can possibly measure up to the preamble. David Stern gets his dream trade, as Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron James will be teammates next season. The big question isn’t if Shaq will get his chance to give Kobe Bryant a final “How’s...

The Lakers won the NBA championship in the second quarter tonight, thanks to a three from Trevor Ariza in the second quarter. At the time, the Lakers had weathered many storms already in Game 5 — a quick start from the Magic that gave them an early 9-point lead; referees who weren’t going...

Bay Area Sports Guy (BASG) started up in January of 2008. The goal in launching Bay Area Sports Guy was to provide relevant news to all Bay Area sports fans. Too often Bay Area sports stories take a back seat to the dominant East Coast sports news and the East Coast media outlets. Bay Area Sports Guy presents the story from the view of a Bay Area fan in a way that all Bay Area sports guys and girls can appreciate. Bay Area Sports Guy is the sports guy for all Bay Area sports guys.
