The great series had to end. Some predicted a Celtics blow-out, some suggested a Bulls upset victory, while many presumed it would reach at least one overtime period before ending again in epic fashion. The answer was neither of those, or perhaps somewhere in between. The game didn’t reach the nail-biting heights of [...]

3 votes - The Bulls-Celtics series. Where do I start.. Maybe I’ll start exactly how I started Day 11, and that is by quoting what I said on Day 9. “Surely the remaining games of this series won’t be able to top Game 4? Right?”. Let me tell you something about that [...]

Forget amazing, tonight Impossible Happened. The series with four overtimes through its first five games has ended up with seven overtimes through its first six. If those numbers don’t make sense, they’re not supposed to. You’re not supposed to have more overtimes than games. Tonight basketball fans were left speechless, incapable of describing a game [...]

One thought kept going through my mind over and over again while watching the Chicago v Boston game today: these Bulls always respond. In an incredibly hostile environment where games are often blown open in minutes, an environment conducive to bouts of Celtics heroism, these Bulls responded every time they needed to. All [...]

Once I read this I just had to post it, if only for my Ray Allen-obsessed housemate who is travelling around the world at the moment. Scoop Jackson of ESPN spent his All-Star weekend asking NBA players “if you could be any other player who would it be?” We all know Ray is the most [...]

Every year in late December there is a little known Beer Award that is handed out to the most outstanding beer of the year. Very few people have heard of this award and that is because it is my own self-awarded Beer of the Year (BOTY). But don’t let that fool you. It is perhaps [...]

After recovering from a weird and wonderful night spent talking and dancing with strangers with moustaches at the Movember Melbourne Gala Party, my life returned to a little normalcy today (although seeing the guy with assless chaps win Man of Movember may scar me for a few more weeks). Here’s a look around the L.

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 [...]

The thought of doing a Kobe vs Ray blog seemed pretty pointless a few days ago. As many have stated, there’s a good chance the two won’t even defend each other throughout the Finals, and plus, they have been world’s apart as far as their playoff form goes - it’s not like this Finals is [...]

A lot has happened since my last playoff diary blog back on Day 32. I’m a bit behind. But with five days of no NBA action I’ve got plenty of time to write stuff, and you’ve got plenty of time to read it. Where do I start…
We have the Finals everyone wanted. Right after the [...]
