Game 6 of the Cavs-Celtics series was probably the worst basketball game I’ve ever watched. Not because the playing was terrible. (Actually, both teams played well, for the most part.) It was the worst because it was so hard to accept. Not only did the Cavs get eliminated, but they [ Read More ]
Right now, it sucks to be a Cavs fan. It sucks for so many reasons, as it has for years. It sucks so bad to watch your team come thisclose to winning it all, only to falter. Over and over and over. It sucks that after Danny Ferry established arguably [ Read More ]
Okay, I was going to write this really detailed analysis of game 5 of the Cavs-Celtics series. I sat down to watch the game, laptop next to me, and diligently took notes on stats, scoring, and general observations of the game. However, during the middle of the 3rd quarter, my [ Read More ]
I have been struggling for weeks now to figure out who (or what) Kendrick Perkins looks like. Seriously, ask Mike. It’s been driving me crazy. I keep pausing the TV when he’s on so I can stare at his ugly face. So far, this is the best I can come [ Read More ]
In a (virtually) must-win situation, the Boston Celtics buckled down, played a strong game, and evened the series between themselves and the Cleveland Cavaliers at 2-2. How did they do it? Balanced offense, consistent defense, and G-d’s gift to point guards, Rajon Rondo. I can’t remember, in the time that [ Read More ]
For 4 days, the basketball world has been aflutter, lamenting the Cavs’ lack of “intensity” (If I hear that word one more time I’m going to scream. It’s replaced “focus” as the new cliché of the 2010 playoffs.) and speculating about an early Cavs’ demise due to lack of coaching [ Read More ]
Game 2 of the ORL-ATL series left us with a MUCH better offensive performance by the Hawks as they scored 27 more points than in game 1. And they still lost by 14. The problem that the Hawks are facing is that while they show flashes of offensive and defensive [ Read More ]
This much attention over a towel? Really? During the final moments of game 2 in the Cleveland-Boston series, Celtics owner Danny Ainge, who was sitting behind the Cavs’ basket, tossed a towel in the air in an attempt to distract JJ Hickson as he shot his 2nd free throw. Against [ Read More ]
Okay, I definitely picked the wrong game to watch and write about last night. Note to self: when choosing between the Lakers and Magic, always choose the Lakers! What you get to read today is an analysis of a great 1st quarter of game 1 of the Magic-Hawks series, followed [ Read More ]
After Lebron James received his second MVP trophy, the good times stopped and the Cavs were annihilated by the Boston Celtics at home, 104-86. Probably not how Lebron envisioned the evening going. Now Boston holds the home court advantage AND the mental edge. They have out-played the Cavs in 3 [ Read More ]
