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...

Lakers! Celtics! It’s the 2010 NBA Finals Preview!
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...

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...

It’s almost as if Chris Wallace is playing an elaborate prank on Grizzly fans. Unfortunately for basketball fans in Tennessee who would like an occasional reprieve from all the ridiculous Lane Kiffin-related news stories that have amused us ever since he became coach of the Volunteers, everything...

Utah’s precipitous fall from title contenders to getting waxed in the first round was one thing, but it was another game last night that showed just how wide open the Western Conference might be next season: the New Orleans Hornets losing by 58 points to the Denver Nuggets. It was a home loss so...

Iverson for Billups, the aftermath...
It seems all those Warriors/Pistons trade rumors a few months ago probably weren’t that far off. Joe Dumars said there were going to be changes after the Detroit Pistons lost to Boston in the second round of the playoffs, and they waited all of two games to trade Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess...
