I don’t remember the last time an NBA game spawned so much post-game gossip, debate, YouTube clips, conspiracy theories, and wild speculation. The Internet is alive with talk of the two ejections, the technical fouls, and of course, the possible suspensions that may be handed out to Derek Fisher and Kobe Bryant (the [...]

After watching the Game 7 in Boston I decided to come back to LA to spend my remaining days before heading back to Australia. I chose LA for a couple of reasons. Firstly because the flight home leaves from LAX, kinda obvious. Secondly, because I thought the Lakers were [...]

Once the Lakers second round opponents were set, I decided to hit up one of the better known Lakers fans in the blogosphere for a little Q&A session. For those that don’t already check out With Malice on a regular basis, you should. It’s run by a guy called Don Landrigan, an Aussie who now [...]

Two nights ago I was at the Toyota Center in Houston cheering along the Rockets while secretly hoping for a close finish (like any mutual fan would). The main reason I marked down this game in my calendar? To see Dwight vs Yao of course. I forked out extra money to get really good seats [...]

Wow. It finally happened. After obsessively following the NBA from Australia for most of the last 20 years, including a trip to the US in ‘04 where I just missed the postseason, I finally saw my first NBA game in the flesh. It was very surreal, and I don’t think you can really [...]

Your 2009 NBA Champion is going to be one of these teams
Los Angeles Lakers
Shortly after the Gasol trade last season, me and one of my many Suns-supporting friends (who for unnamed reasons shall be known as the Cougar Hunter) were musing about the Lakers fortunes. “It’s so unfair”, was the overriding theme of that conversation, [...]

A couple of months ago I learned that I’d be traveling to Manila for work. While the Federal Government’s security warnings had me frightened a little (i.e. “Don’t travel to this place unless you really really need to”), the prospect of spending a few weeks in a basketball-mad country had me really excited. It was [...]

Denver scored 168 points in a game. Let me put that into perspective. That is 75 points more than the Miami Heat average every game. That is as many points Ben Wallace has scored since January 15. That is more points than Brian Scalabrine has scored since the year 2006. It is a lot of [...]

My Knicksperience in New York - PART I
Hey everyone, Tizzle here. Thought I’d put together some thoughts and observations about my trip to NY to see the Knicks. Hope you enjoy.
Game 1 vs. Houston

My NBA cherry was to be popped tonight and I was pumped. Walking down 7th towards the Garden I couldn’t help but [...]

Day 1 of the season. Oh how I’ve waited for you. The endless months spent in anticipation, the speculation about the flashy new rookies, the desperate need for another NBA game to wipe away the foul memories of last year’s Finals series. Yes, the best eight months of the year have started, and here’s what [...]
