Fantasy Island

“Ze plane! Ze plane!”
Time for our first look into the fantasy landscape for season 2010/11. The surprises. The disappointments. The sinking feeling when Kevin Love drops a 30/30 on your H2H team. Here are some of the prevailing storylines so far this season, beginning with the team everyone is talking about…

“I love it when a [...]

10 Things We Learned In November

It’s that time of the month folks, when I chime in with 10 observations from the previous month’s NBA action (in no particular order). Let’s get into it.
1. No Haslem, No Title?
LeBron’s been too passive, Wade looks lost and Bosh has no presence on the inside. All this can and will be rectified, but what [...]

When the Going Gets Tough

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 [...]

Sunday Six Pack: Back for 2010-11

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 [...]

Things We Learnt from Day 1

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 [...]

Jim’s Decision – The Heat make their case

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 [...]

Weighing in on Jim’s Shortlist – The Hatorade Edition

The Frustrated Suns Fan checks in to offer his 2 cents on Jim’s upcoming decision… and skulls a whole lot of Hatorade in the process.
Jim, you’re a fool. You’ve narrowed the field down to five franchises, all of which have serious flaws. Lets examine a little further.

If you were making this decision two years [...]

Exclusive Interview with Jim – which team has risen to the top?

To many, he’s the most famous NBA fan in the world right now. To me, he’s just one of my mates. I was lucky enough to sit down with Jim over the weekend to trade stories, reminisce about the good old days, and of course, talk about his pending decision. The Decision.
First off, I wanted [...]

Jim’s Decision

Jim has been a friend of mine for a very long time. Back in high school Jim was of a more elite sporting breed than myself – a regular member of the school’s A-Grade basketball, football, and cricket teams. I myself toiled in the C and D-grade leagues, and still remain partially scarred from the [...]

Why Did LeBron Go To Miami? (Hint: It Wasn’t Just To Win)

(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 [...]
