Your life’s tough? Maybe not now, but it has been? I know mine has been. But for normal people like you and me, when we are down or when the chips aren’t falling the way we want them, we don’t normally have 20-something-year-olds from other countries calling us “fat”, “lazy”, “underachieving” or “the stupid weak [...]

I woke up late Saturday morning to find the following message on my phone from Tizzle:

To one and all. Let this be the day remembered as the day the Knicks basically signed Lebron James. Save this msg for 2010. New York basketball is back!

I find it amusing that Knicks fans can rejoice “New York basketball [...]

Ok I didn’t tell anyone but secretly I decided I wasn’t going to write another blog until Detroit won a game with Allen Iverson. To say I was disappointed with losing to the Nets (let alone Devin Harris going for a career high) and then being whooped by the Celtics is an understatement. I was [...]

It’s late October so you know what that means. Every basketball website /blog /magazine /podcast on the planet feels the need to look at every team and try to predict what’s going to happen in 08-09. Here at NBAMate we thought we’d do things a little differently. Rather than look at each team and try [...]

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.
Saturday April 5th
This was a scary day for me, and indeed [...]

Check Part I of Tizzle’s Knicksperience in New York
Game 4 vs. Washington
Riding high off the big blow out against the Pistons I was pumped for this game. Was curious to see how well the Knicks would come out, and also to see how Caron Butler played. When the Knicks were being introduced Balkman (see below) [...]

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 [...]

I don’t know what to say about this video other than it may be the funniest NBA-related YouTube clip I’ve seen. Even Knicks fans will enjoy it, and that is saying something because they don’t enjoy much these days…

The Knicks just lost to the Celtics after only scoring 59 points in one of the most embarrasing scorelines I have ever seen. I had to do a double-take on that one. The New York Knicks. They only scored only 59 points. In an entire game of basketball. In the NBA. My God.
I could take so [...]

The 2007 NBA Draft started predictably, and then went a little crazy. The two big guns, Oden and Durant went #1 and #2 as expected, but the rest didn’t exactly go according to plan. What happened to the big draft-day trades for KG and Amare? How did Yi Jianlian, the supposed under-done softy small-forward go [...]
