I didn’t get to see Game 7 live. One of the tragedies of these 2010 NBA Finals has been the scheduling – in the Land Downunder, not one Finals game was played on a Saturday or a Sunday. Very frustrating. I followed the game on the play-by-play, and later that afternoon I read all the [...]

So I recently moved to Singapore and will be here for a few months because of my real job. Hence the lack of recent updates. But thankfully, they have cable over here and I’ll be able to watch the rest of the NBA playoffs unfold (if they didn’t I may have considered quitting my job). [...]

Day 30 – Where Orlando ‘10 looked like Cleveland ‘09

3 votes – Ray Allen. Ray was real smooth in this one. Smoothly draining 8-16 shots on his way to a team-high 25 points, smoothly sneaking into the key to grab 7 rebounds (an equal-playoff high for Ray), and smoothly sinking two free throws with 6 [...]

3 votes – Kevin Garnett: The Big Ticket is back in a big way these playoffs. With Antawn Jamison looking absolutely helpless against KG, Mike Brown decided that Shaq might be able to slow down Garnett. Garnett disagreed. Creating separation at will, he used his patented fade-away to get the Celts off to a [...]

ONE: A mixed week in the NBA, as far as the Aussie contingent goes. The bad news obviously being that Bogut injured his leg. The good news is that Bogut thinks he can get back on the court quicker than the 2-4 weeks that was initially diagnosed.
I had a similar injury my second [...]

ONE: Roundup of the Aussies in pre-season competition. Bogut had a solid outing against the Bulls with 12 points (on 6-9 shooting), 5 rebounds and 2 assists in just 18 minutes. In the first five minutes the big man had 6 points, 2 rebounds and a block – a start that raised the spirits of [...]

ONE: By now most of you have probably heard about the Lebron James dunk saga, but if not, here’s a quick recap. During a pick up game at a Skills Academy Lebron was running earlier in the week, a young fella by the name of Jordan Crawford came down the lane and dunked on the [...]

In the last week I’ve been traveling around watching games in LA, Houston and Dallas. While the experience has been amazing to say the least, I found myself leaving the arenas feeling a little… I dunno, empty. Cheering on the Lakers, Rockets and Mavs was fun, don’t get me wrong, but ultimately I was indifferent [...]

ONE: I just want to put this out there. After another ridiculous display from Wade today, 50 points in a triple-OT thriller against Utah, it is looking very likely Miami will hold on to finish 4th or 5th. I don’t care who the Heat face in the first round, whether it’s Atlanta or Detroit, they [...]

After spending two days trying to stay dry amidst the “drought-ending storm” at Meredith Musical Festival, and the next five days trying to stay on the fairways in Yarrawonga, I’m now back in Melbourne town and life is kind of back to normal again (although my liver will never be the same). After being away [...]
