If yesterday was the perfect start to the playoffs, today was the perfect sequel. The bar raised again. Four close games, two massive upsets, some unbelievable individual performances, and plenty of clutch heroics. In other words, NBA basketball heaven.

It’s that time of the month folks, when I chime in with 10 observations from the previous month’s NBA action. Let’s get straight into it.

I am a Celtics guy so I don’t dislike Kevin Garnett. In fact, I love what he brings to the floor. But I can’t [...]

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 [...]

Forget about asylum seekers, forget the new Twilight movie and forget the upcoming AFL [...]

 
Ahhhh… feels good to down a six pack during the season for once.

ONE: First the Aussie Roundup. BogutWatch – now back in action after a 10 month absence – didn’t exactly get off to the best start yesterday. The Bucks got rolled in Philly 99-86, with AB struggling in the 31 [...]

It’s been a few days since my lazy ass decided to inject some wisdom into the blogosphere, so I’ve got a little catching up to do. This post may be long but I guarantee you will at least chuckle, smirk, or curse at your computer screen.

This was a scary day for me, and indeed [...]

The season has just passed the midpoint and All-Star weekend 2008 is just around the corner – I can’t wait for it just as I’m sure you can’t either! The world of NBA Fantasy has had a lot of twists and turns this season with some players raising their games to ‘stud-like’ levels such as [...]
