That’s the age I was during the 2006 Finals. I was in Year 11, and had been in America over Easter. I’d even managed to go to Game 1 and 2 of Miami’s first round series against the Bulls. That year, I wanted the Heat to win the Finals, but not enough that I couldn’t [...]

3 votes – Chris Bosh. So I guess this is why they call it the Big 3, huh? Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy ragging on Chris Bosh as much as anyone. It has brought me much amusement all season. He has suffered what I like to call “Odom Syndrome” – an unquestionably talented player [...]

For the most part, day 12 went as predicted. Miami snuffed out the Sixers resistance with a comfortable (if not totally convincing) 97-91 victory to take the series 4-1.

Firstly, my apologies for the terrible pun there. I’ve had a migrane for most of the past 24 hours (only now it’s beginning to clear up) and was relying on various glitchy and dubiously legal streams for today’s games, so I’m not exactly on top form. Never mind – [...]

We learnt a lot of things from the free agency period of 2010.
Firstly, we learnt that the modern NBA superstar would rather team up with his rivals than crush them.

It’s that time of the month folks, when I chime in with 10 observations from the previous month’s NBA action. Let’s get straight into it.
1. Chris Bosh Needs To Get His Hands Dirty
For the Miami Heat to reach their enormous potential (complete domination) Chris Bosh will have to undergo the same transformation as Paul [...]

So it finally happened. The Heat v Lakers game that everyone has been salivating over for the past few months. Only that it was a bit of an anticlimax, and instead of seeing two powerhouse teams slog it out, we saw one completely whoop the other. Was I surprised? No. I know these games mean [...]

“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…

“I love it when a [...]

Last Saturday, I had one of the great experiences of my life seeing Metallica at the Acer Arena. While I have a pretty wide musical palate, Metallica have always been one of my true loves ever since a bogan classmate loaned me a mix CD of their greatest work when I was 12 and we [...]

The Decision has been made, the ball has been rolled out and the first week of the NBA season has been played. So what did we learn about the much hyped Miami Heat after their first 5 games? I’d suggest very little, with an ugly opening night loss and 4 subsequent blowout wins [...]
