Kobe really looked locked-in before tonight’s game
I didn’t think it would ever be possible, but today, I watched four live NBA games in a row. For an Aussie who is regularly starved of NBA on TV, I was in heaven.
Before I get onto the votes there is one thing I want to say that’s been [...]

Lebron James’ eye-popping numbers of late (he’s averaging 30-10-8 over his last five games) are blinding people to some other seriously freaky stat-stuffing performances around the league, namely those of Chris Paul.
Chris Paul already ruined my favourite and most-proclaimed statistic last season - the last player to average 20 points and 10 assists through a [...]

PLAYOFF DIARY: DAY 17
I think its about time I started to admit I was wrong about the Hornets. In the first round I tipped them to lose to Dallas in 6 games. Despite convincingly doing away with the Mavs, I then tipped them to lose to the Spurs in 6. I don’t think I was [...]

PLAYOFF DIARY: DAY 4
Did you know that Chris Paul throughout his career has averaged 33.5 points, 13.5 assists, 4 rebounds, 3.5 steals in the playoffs? Never mind he’s only been in the playoffs two games.

If the Hornets don’t win the West, I’ve got Kobe Bryant no matter what.” Thank you Jon, you can now jump off that fence you’re sitting [...]

Who wants to be like Dirk? Well, the MVP part…
not who wants to choke in the playoffs.
Check out Parts I and II of my look at this year’s MVP candidates, and my gripe against the MVP

There’s a reason I didn’t get round to writing this blog sooner. Between me being lazy, spending time honing my [...]

Been a crazy couple of days in the L. Lets reflect.
I laughed hard at Caron after his post-game brain fade against the Celtics when he said the Wizards were aiming at a championship. Well, I laughed even harder when those same Wizards got beaten by the Knicks two days ago. A loss to the Knicks [...]
