Knicks lose to Kobe 62-59

The Knicks just lost to the Celtics after only scoring 59 points in one of the most embarrasing scorelines I have ever seen. I had to do a double-take on that one. The New York Knicks. They only scored only 59 points. In an entire game of basketball. In the NBA. My God.
I could take so [...]

Where Amazing Happens

I’m sure you’ve all seen those new NBA “Where Amazing Happens” commercials. It’s no surprise that about a hundred parodies have popped up on YouTube, some of which are quite amusing. Here are a few worth watching (no offence intended to gamblers, homosexuals, or Suns fans).

Which team is inconsistent yet disciplined enough to let a team score 40 points in a blitzing opening quarter, then hold them to 64 over the next three while methodically overturning a twenty-two point defecit?

Celtic Perfection and other Friday Ramblings

They said it in the broadcast but I’ll repeat it here. Can you say, “perfect start to the season”? That’s exactly what it was today for Doc Rivers and his Big 3 as Boston completely steamrolled the helpless Wizards and left a flailing Gilbert Arenas in their wake. KG goes for the 20-20, Pierce and Allen [...]
