Even Andy Varejao was impressed with Shaq’s playing in game 5!
While it didn’t happen exactly how the Cavs wanted, Cleveland is advancing to the second round of the playoffs. It wasn’t easy, but the Cavs managed to pull it together in the last 30 seconds of the game and come away with a victory. Both teams came out strong, but [ Read More ]
We’re 2 weeks into the playoffs, and while 3 of the 4 eastern conference series are over (with Cleveland, Orlando, and Boston advancing), none of the western conference series are better than 3-2. As I sat there thinking about it today, I realized it comes down to one thing: the [ Read More ]
Okay, this is the picture I wanted to post when I wrote about Dirk Nowitzki inadvertently breaking Manu Ginobili’s nose in game 3 of their series: And the commentators were wondering if it was broken! I’m no doctor (much to the dismay of my grandfather), but when they showed him [ Read More ]
Today, 6th man of the year was announced, and while MY pick wasn’t given the title, a very deserving player picked it up. Jamal Crawford was awarded the 2010 Sixth Man Award, for his influential playing with the Atlanta Hawks. Crawford came off of the bench for all 79 games [ Read More ]

When you look on paper, game 4 of the LA-OKC series seems fairly evenly matched. LA shot 41.5% from the field, while OKC shot 40.8%. Oklahoma had 7 more rebounds than LA (50 to 43), LA had 19 assists to OKC’s 15, and LA made 4 three pointers while OKC [ Read More ]
I’m watching the Denver-Utah game, and my best friend, Reggie Miller, is commentating. During a break in the action, the camera was focused on Reggie and Marv sitting at the scoring table. As they were chatting, a guy in a Jazz t-shirt stood up behind them, cupped his hands to [ Read More ]
The Dallas-San Antonio series has already been exciting to watch, and game 3 didn’t disappoint. Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan have already proven their meddle, giving their respective teams consistent, balanced, and effective performances in games 1 and 2. However, the clear star of game 3 was Manu Ginobili. Ginobili [ Read More ]
