It was almost a year ago today when Puerto Rican Guy was voted off the NBA Wall Of Fame to make way for NBA Doubting Thomas Of The Year champ Danilo “The Cock” Gallinari.
Today, he clearly showed just how much the slight still hurt by contributing a major role off the bench in the Mavericks’ [...]

3 votes – Lebron James. LBJ dominated this game in the last quarter and Wade dominated it through the first three. And that is what makes this Heat team so hard to stop. You can pin these guys down for a quarter or maybe a half, but not both of them for a whole game. That [...]

3 votes – Dwyane Wade. Mark this one up as a statement game. After being so successfully blanketed by the Celtics in their regular season encounters, Wade broke the shackles and shat all over the Celtics defense with 38 points on 14-21 shooting, to go with 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. And the Heat needed [...]

For the second day running, we have had a fairly predictable series of events.
Both Miami and Chicago won on opposition court to get themselves 3-0 leads respectively, while Portland clawed out a win over Dallas on the Rose Garden floor which made all the NBAMate boys feel a bit less stupid. And thankful for Danny [...]

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 – [...]

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!”

“I love it when a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

(NB: A large portion of this article is dedicated to a vacation story. If you don’t want to read about what a bunch of yobs get up to in the sun, skip between the bold parts).
It’s been nearly three weeks since “The Decision” and LeBron’s decision still confused me.
Why Miami?
It certainly wasn’t the best move [...]
