The Offseason Trade Chronicles, Part 2: The Hedo/Childress Trades

In the second part of our Offseason Trade Chronicles (check Part I while you’re at it), me and my bro Fish took the time to analyse the moves made by the Phoenix Suns in the off-season.
Once Amare Stoudemire announced his intention to sign with the Knicks, Phoenix worked out a token sign and trade deal [...]

We saw this coming

A week ago J.O wrote his piece on the potential Celtics vs Lakers Finals match up, which at the time felt like a perfectly reasonable idea. A few days later it seemed a little premature, with Orlando winning a couple of games and the Suns leveling the series at 2-2.  Now, thanks to [...]

The only Playoff Preview you’ll need – Part I

They’re finally here. The 2010 NBA Playoffs. The second season. The reason we play 82.
On the eve of Day 1 of the playoffs, Ant and Rob break down each series the old-fashioned way, position-by-position, as well as telling you what really matters. You know, like what beer to drink, who you should be rooting for, [...]

Sunday Six Pack: A Magic title, the legacy of Chauncey, and Mr Amundson

ONE: As an Aussie NBA blog, you’d be forgiven lately for thinking Bogut is the only Australian playing in the league at the moment. And you wouldn’t be far from the truth. The three players who make up the remainder of the Aussie NBA Quartet have all gone through rough patches and struggled to get [...]

Sunday Six Pack: Suns go to #1, Kobe goes inside, AI goes home

ONE: Pop Quiz: Who is THE in-form center in the league at the moment? If you answered Dwight Howard, you’d be incorrect. The correct answer is actually Chris Kaman. But who is the second most in-form center at the moment? That would probably be Andrew Bogut. Since looking very rusty in his first [...]

New Season’s Eve: Ten Intriguing Storylines for 2009-10

The new season has finally arrived, and just like every year, I can’t believe I went four and a half months without it. The 2009-2010 campaign is shaping up to be a beauty, for so many reasons. Will we see the King finally crowned with his new Diesel-powered sidekick? Will Dwight get redemption along with [...]

Sunday Six Pack – the returning Answer, the embarrassing Magic and the setting Suns

ONE: It was reported earlier in the week that Andrew Bogut is beginning his transition from complete rest to basketball-related activities, which is good news for the Bucks. Also written earlier in the week was this great piece on the Bucks website about Bogut and Coach Skiles – truly worth your reading. Quote from Bogut: [...]

2008-2009 Season Preview: The Pretending Contenders

No pretenders here. No sir, these guys are playing into May… and that’s where they’re stopping

Cleveland Cavaliers
It amazes me how far this team has gone the last two post seasons. They were only a 45 win team last season (which means that would have missed the playoffs in the West), yet they almost handled the [...]

Day 11 – It’s time to go, Dallas and Phoenix

PLAYOFF DIARY: DAY 11
Are the Phoenix Suns the best team to ever be knocked out in a first round playoff series? I’m not sure. But I know that two weeks ago I was one of the many people claiming they were perfectly suited to face the Spurs in the playoffs and a real chance to [...]

Fat Men Can’t Jump

Well someone decided it would be a good idea to pay Shaquille O’Neal $20 million when I couldn’t sell him for 50 cents. Did they not read my item description? As far as I’m concerned everything I said back in December still stands – except for the bit about Shaq mortgaging the Miami Heat’s future. [...]
