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 [...]

Readers who frequented this site during the last off-season will recall the engrossing saga that was Jim’s Decision. Now, over three months later, we thought we’d check in on Jim to see how the re-born Aussie  Bulls fan was traveling. Read on.
1. So Jim, we’re halfway through your first NBA season as a re-born Chicago [...]

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 [...]

So its been a little while between updates lately. My bad. Some overseas travel and my annual Golf Trip are the main culprits. But I’m back home and geared up for some serious ILP watching and blogging over the Christmas break, so I promise I’ll make up for it.

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 [...]

It’s finally here. After arguably the biggest off-season in NBA history – Lebron’s Decision, Jim’s Decision, etc – Day 1 of the new season has arrived. A breath of fresh air.
Continuing our tradition from recent years (here and here), we ask ourselves the question: what did we learn from Day 1 [...]

A couple of weeks ago I received an email from a guy who referred to himself only as “MK”. He told me he was Australia’s biggest Miami Heat fan, and I had no reason to disagree with him. Truth be told, I don’t know any Heat Fans (although I suspect I will soon). MK told [...]
