3 votes – Derrick Rose: Excellent game by Rose, notching up 31 points and 7 assists without a single turnover. He managed to stay both aggressive and under control throughout the game, which is never easy for young point guard to do. His fourth quarter was particularly impressive; after [...]

Yes you’ve undoubtedly already heard that the arcade classic NBA Jam is making a comeback (though only on the Wii ), a game we all fondly remember for its fast game-play, towering dunks, flaming balls and an abundance of hidden characters. Not only that but the commentary, rife with catchphrases that are still regularly uttered [...]

The great series had to end. Some predicted a Celtics blow-out, some suggested a Bulls upset victory, while many presumed it would reach at least one overtime period before ending again in epic fashion. The answer was neither of those, or perhaps somewhere in between. The game didn’t reach the nail-biting heights of [...]

3 votes – The Bulls-Celtics series. Where do I start.. Maybe I’ll start exactly how I started Day 11, and that is by quoting what I said on Day 9. “Surely the remaining games of this series won’t be able to top Game 4? Right?”. Let me tell you something about that [...]

Forget amazing, tonight Impossible Happened. The series with four overtimes through its first five games has ended up with seven overtimes through its first six. If those numbers don’t make sense, they’re not supposed to. You’re not supposed to have more overtimes than games. Tonight basketball fans were left speechless, incapable of describing a game [...]

I’m very excited to announce that NBAMate is running a competition to give away a Derrick Rose Rookie of the Year t-shirt, as well as a Dwight Howard Defensive Player of the year t-shirt. These shirts are both valued at $20 (I know, we have a big budget here!) and commemorate the awards won by [...]

3 votes – Lebron James. I would love to have given these votes to someone else, especially in light of how pathetic Detroit have been, but how can you ignore 36-14-8 and another perfect performance from The King? If you want to draw analogies to the 1991 Bulls v Pistons playoff series, go ahead. A [...]

The playoff diary is back, along with the usual Playoff MVP votes we’ll hand out every day. I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to post every day – I am on holiday after all! – but I will do my best.
We have to talk about Derrick Rose. I’m sure the Internet is about to be [...]

It was the closest game I’ve seen so far on my US trip, a game that literally came down to the last second. Unfortunately for me, the result went the wrong way.
The Pistons and Bulls faced off Monday night in Auburn Hills knowing that the loser would most likely have to face the [...]

He’s been following the 2008 draft like a hawk since his first Idiot’s Blog Guide back in November last year. With draft day now behind us Robd sat down with the Draft Dude, just like he did last year, to see how he made sense of it all.
RD: We’ve had a few drafts recently where [...]
