Following on from Part 1:
Chris Paul traded to LAC
Chris Paul and Blake Griffin – Wow!!
They had to do this deal, for a number of reasons: To bring some cachet to the sad sack Clippers, to keep Chris Paul away from the Lakers, to give Blake Griffin a reason to re-sign, and more importantly, the opportunity [...]

With the playoffs off and running, here is a last look at the season that was with a presentation of the annual awards.
MVP
After watching Derrick Rose literally drag the Bulls from defeat against the Pacers on Saturday, there is no plausible way to explain that anyone else is the MVP. Rose had a 39-point performance [...]

ONE: Kicking off the Aussie round-up with the Bogey Man, I’d like to first point out that he is still the league-leading shot blocker. You know, just in case there’s anyone reading this thinking he isn’t All-Star worthy. He’s also 5th in the league in rebounds per game with 11.5, confirming what we [...]

After I did my column a few months back on Metallica and the 2010-11 NBA season up to that point, I realised something.
“Holy shit – this is a pretty fucking easy way to churn out some quick columns.”
Basically, I get a bunch of songs together, find something vaguely basketball-related that relates even more vaguely to [...]

“Ze plane! Ze plane!”
Time for our first look into the fantasy landscape for season 2010/11. The surprises. The disappointments. The sinking feeling when Kevin Love drops a 30/30 on your H2H team. Here are some of the prevailing storylines so far this season, beginning with the team everyone is talking about…

It’s that time of the month folks, when I chime in with 10 observations from the previous month’s NBA action (in no particular order). Let’s get into it.
1. No Haslem, No Title?
LeBron’s been too passive, Wade looks lost and Bosh has no presence on the inside. All this can and will be rectified, but what [...]

How amusing – we made this image in our first mock draft for 2009.
Mike Dunleavy will be glad he studied it.
1.    LAC – Blake Griffin – 6’9 PF From Oklahoma
Ok, so I’m gonna steal a semi-humorous joke I saw on the NBAdraft.net forum regarding the Clippers and their new stud. All they have to do [...]

Howdy! I love Aussie Summers. For me it means barbecued Kanga meat and Carlton Dry with Lime (the Clear Cut 2008 BOTY Rob) around the pool as well as the Triple J’s Hottest 100 (my number 1 vote goes to Cemeteries of London by Coldplay) and the cricket on the tele. But most of all, [...]

Ahoy there Draftorians (sounds like something out of Star Trek really), and welcome back to the first Installment of the 2009 Idiots Guide to the 2009 NBA draft. Last year, I was completely rooted by the Sonics/ Thunder/ Train-Wrecks selection of Russell Westbrook at pick 4, but I did pick the first three picks, in [...]
