I would have liked to blog about game 6 of the Finals a little closer to the day it was played, but there were a few reasons I didn’t get round to that. 1) I only watched the first and last quarter of that game and didn’t watch [...]

Welcome to my last blog edition for the ‘Idiots Guide to the 2008 NBA Draft’ for 2008. I’ve been following NBA draft’s for going on four years now, and this is by far the most complex I’ve ever come across. Literally, every single first round pick in this draft has been mentioned in some trade [...]

It took me a while to recover from the ridiculous Game 4 of this series, the most amazing Finals comeback I’ve seen, and probably of all time. Then we almost saw it happen again in Game 5 – the two biggest comebacks in Finals history could have happened back-to-back. Despite a lot of people saying [...]

A few weeks ago I wrote an article for Hoopcity Magazine about Kobe Bryant and his legacy. Edition #2 of Hoopcity has been pushed back a couple of weeks to accommodate the NBA Finals, so the Kobe article has been published online while the Lakers and Celtics are stilling battling it [...]

I always take special note of my immediate “gut feel” right after the end of an NBA game. It’s the time when you’re adrenaline is still flowing (especially if it’s a close game), when the emotion of the game is still pulsing through your veins, before you’ve had time to sit back and think about [...]

What a huge weekend it was in sports. Sunday evening I watched the Blues pull off one of the greatest comebacks I can remember – after scoring only 3 goals through the first three quarters, we piled on 7 more in the final term (and held Port goalless). Late Sunday night I settled in to [...]

After blogging on that dream on the morning of game 1, I walked downstairs to find my house mate watching the ESPN pre-game show, wearing a Ray Allen jersey and a green shopping bag on his head. He explained to me he’d just bought the jersey yesterday, and he was clearly very excited about it. [...]

Breathe slowly… just breathe… I wouldn’t normally bother writing about a crazy dream I had during the night. I don’t necessarily believe in premonitions or the meaning behind visions in a dreaming state. But the dream I just had (literally an hour ago) was so vivid and made me so sick, I couldn’t sleep any [...]

The thought of doing a Kobe vs Ray blog seemed pretty pointless a few days ago. As many have stated, there’s a good chance the two won’t even defend each other throughout the Finals, and plus, they have been world’s apart as far as their playoff form goes – it’s not like this Finals is [...]

Day 33’s Playoff MVP Votes
3 votes – Rip Hamilton. Hit the jumper late in the 4th when the Celtics got within 2, then hit the jumper with 45 seconds left that took the air out of The Garden. Rip didn’t shoot well in this game, but the great thing about Rip is that he never [...]
