The Lakers are realllly cruising. I said to one of my friends a couple of weeks back, “when Bynum comes back I don’t think the Lakers will lose again… ever”. I was half joking when I said that but it’s beginning to sound true. They are looking simply unbeatable. They beat you with their bench. [...]

“Smooth” is a word thrown around a lot in the modern age of basketball. Smooth game, smooth jumpshot, smooth transition. There’s J-Smoove (Josh Smith), the “Big Smooth” (Sam Perkins), Clyde the Glyde (sounds smooth) and “Smooth” himself (Larry Hughes). I was playing NBA 2K8 before and Kenny Smith just used the word “smooth”, I kid you not. [...]

Check out Jobba’s mock draft from November ‘07
With the craziness of the trade deadline behind us, I thought it would be an opportune time to look at some of the possible selections of the 2008 NBA Draft. Enjoy!
14. Houston Rockets Kevin Love 6’9 PF UCLA Fresh.
What is it with the Rockets? They have the makings [...]

The All-Star weekend has come and gone in a flash, and I’m sitting here struggling to recall why I was so excited about it in the first place. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy it, well at least parts of it. But I can’t help but feel the whole thing is a bit meaningless…. [...]

I love days like this in the NBA. We got 14 games of action which meant I spent approximately 4 hours 25 minutes in the office Alt-Tabbing between “work” and ESPN’s NBA scoreboard. Not only did we get a heap of games but we also managed to score a wicked game on ESPN – the [...]

Thank you to one very astute blog reader today who pointed out the following comment I wrote yesterday:
There are some that say they should be seeking out J-Kidd – I say this is a horrible idea for the Cavs because they already have someone who can’t shoot (Larry Hughes) and Lebron is a brilliant distributor [...]

I take it all back. To Celtics fans, I apologise. I was so sure today’s game would result in a San Antonio victory I’d already chalked it up in the “L” column. A team anchored around their missing power forward, KG, facing the best power forward in the game in Tim Duncan. Ray Allen and [...]

Well someone decided it would be a good idea to pay Shaquille O’Neal $20 million when I couldn’t sell him for 50 cents. Did they not read my item description? As far as I’m concerned everything I said back in December still stands – except for the bit about Shaq mortgaging the Miami Heat’s future. [...]

The season has just passed the midpoint and All-Star weekend 2008 is just around the corner – I can’t wait for it just as I’m sure you can’t either! The world of NBA Fantasy has had a lot of twists and turns this season with some players raising their games to ‘stud-like’ levels such as [...]

 
It was a normal Saturday morning in our household. I came downstairs gingerly after a few too many Winnies the night before and plonked myself on the couch next to my housemate who was flicking through the usual Saturday morning Foxtel garbage. We stopped on ESPN hoping to find some live NBA, joking that we [...]
