Loyalty- schmoyalty! This is the NBA. Players are forever pawns. Expendable. Superstar or not. That is fact. Ok, so LeBron James isn’t just your typical one either. However, if the King wanted to stay in Cleveland, wouldn’t you think he would’ve already re-signed the moment the option came up? What is the point of [...]

3 votes – Jameer Nelson. The first quarter in a road game is often the most important. You need to quickly quieten the opposition’s home crowd, and make sure the hostile environment doesn’t push you into an insurmountable first-quarter deficit. For that reason, Jameer Nelson gets today’s 3 votes for his [...]

ONE: Rest assured, this blog is not moving exclusively to weekly Sunday Six Packs. I’m back from my overseas trip from Manila and what a crazy last couple of days it has been. Woke up Friday morning at 10am, worked for half a day, jumped on a flight to Singapore, bought some duty free shit, [...]

I’m in the Philippines at the moment for work, and I woke up this morning to find a photo of Robert Horry and Vlade Divac on the front page of the newspaper. A little weird, yes, but as I said last year (exactly one year ago) this country loves their basketball. I took it as [...]

A year ago Kobe Bryant had a very special Christmas Day realization that his team was perhaps a real championship contender. A lot has happened since that day, namely the Gasol trade and a trip to the NBA Finals. But despite the lofty heights achieved by the Lakers in the last 365 days, Christmas in [...]

I would have liked to blog about game 6 of the Finals a little closer to the day it was played, but there were a few reasons I didn’t get round to that. 1) I only watched the first and last quarter of that game and didn’t watch [...]

It took me a while to recover from the ridiculous Game 4 of this series, the most amazing Finals comeback I’ve seen, and probably of all time. Then we almost saw it happen again in Game 5 – the two biggest comebacks in Finals history could have happened back-to-back. Despite a lot of people saying [...]

I’ve had this game circled in my calender for a while. Nothing beats two high-scoring Western Conference teams fighting for playoff spots with barely two weeks left in the season. The Lakers still in the hunt for that #1 seed out West, while the Mavericks are playing just to stay alive in the playoff race. [...]

For anyone unaware of happenings in the NBA blogosphere, today is officially Kobe Bryant Blog Day. Now being downunder in Aus, today is actually yesterday in the States so we are actually writing on Kobe Bryant Blog Day from the future. Yes, we managed to borrow the time machine Dirk has been working on.
Fittingly, Kobe [...]
