There are three types of baseball fans. Those who completely ignore sabermetrics, those who base their entire set of baseball opinions on sabermetrics, and those who decide who’s good based partly on advanced metrics and partly on what their eyes tell them when watching the games. I count myself...

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!...
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...

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...

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...

I don’t know if I can remember a Tuesday filled with more sports activity than what we had yesterday, and to top things off I had family responsibilities thrown into the mix. I got a message on Monday night from my dad saying everyone was going to meet at 6:30 yesterday evening at my sister’s...

It was never this easy against the Nuggets. No way they’d miss so many open shots. It was never this easy against the Rockets. No way they’d let Kobe get more And 1′s than a Foot Locker employee. It wasn’t even this easy at any time against the Jazz, who would have at least fouled...

Yeah, I know. I’m going out on a major limb here with that headline, but rest assured the NBA Finals prediction you so eagerly await will be at the bottom of this post. Feel free to check it out if you want. I won’t be offended. But for those with a little bit of patience, get ready for a...

For all of you who’ve been wondering why your favorite Bay Area sports blog has been running a little slow lately (or not at all), we’ve been having a little server troubles. Since our current server’s been working about as quickly as Bob Howry in the eighth inning with the bases loaded,...

Of the four NBA teams I saw in person this year, the Orlando Magic were by far the best. Sure, two of those teams were the Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Mascot Thieves, but I also saw the Cleveland Cavaliers win that buzzer beater at Oracle in Monta Ellis’ first comeback game. The Cavaliers’...
