ONE: We haven’t spoken much of Bogut the past few weeks here at NBAMate. Truth be told, there hasn’t been much exciting news to talk about. The Bucks spiralled out of playoff contention (I will never EVER understand how the Indiana Pacers finished above the Milwaukee Bucks in 2010-2011) and Bogut, battling through [...]

With less than a dozen games remaining in the regular season, we thought it might be a good time to put our heads together and wax lyrical on the home stretch. Crack open a tinny and enjoy.
1. The Spurs look to be hobbling across the finish line thanks to an injury to Timmy D. They’ll [...]

As the NBA season begins its second half, shit tends to get just a little bit tedious for everyone involved. Fans have more or less figured out which teams are good, bad or plain mediocre. The players on the good teams are just trying to get to the All-Star break uninjured; the players on the [...]

Hear that? That was the sound of me cracking open the first Sunday Six Pack of the season – a weekly look around the league through our slightly green and gold tinted glasses. Hope your Sunday is a good one, wherever you are.
ONE: Kicking off with the usual Aussie Roundup, we should probably pause [...]

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 [...]
