3 votes – Zach Randolph. Just when you thought Zach might have expended all his juice in that heartbreaking triple OT loss in Game 4, which certainly looked the case watching him limp around in Game 5, he comes back with this. 30 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, including 11 points in the fourth [...]

3 votes – Dwyane Wade. Mark this one up as a statement game. After being so successfully blanketed by the Celtics in their regular season encounters, Wade broke the shackles and shat all over the Celtics defense with 38 points on 14-21 shooting, to go with 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. And the Heat needed [...]

Just one game today, but what a game. The Memphis Grizzlies pulled off a historic win over the Spurs, winning that playoff series 4-2 and becoming just the second 8th seed to ever upset a No.1 seed in the playoffs. I was focused on the NFL draft for most of the day, but I wasn’t going [...]

The title pretty much gives away the day’s playoff happenings. The Grizzlies took the series to 3-1 with a convincing 104-86 victory over San Antonio and look ever more likely to actually make me (and Tizzle) seem like geniuses for picking the upset. The Mavs recovered from the Brandon Roy-athon of the last two games [...]

Crazy weekend in the NBA, and thanks to some family Easter lunches/dinners I unfortunately didn’t get to watch many games. Shame, because I would have given anything to watch Brandon Roy leading an incredible Blazers comeback against a typically choke-tastic Mavs team. I would have given anything to see the look on the faces of [...]

If yesterday was the perfect start to the playoffs, today was the perfect sequel. The bar raised again. Four close games, two massive upsets, some unbelievable individual performances, and plenty of clutch heroics. In other words, NBA basketball heaven.
3 votes – Chris Paul. After CP3 dismantled the Lakers, [...]

Think back to last October as we waited in anticipation for the 2009/10 NBA season to begin.
The Richard Jefferson and Antonio McDyess acquisitions installed San Antonio as West favourites in many experts’ eyes. We wondered whether one ball was enough for the Memphis Grizzlies’ offense. We were annoyed that Spanish phenom Ricky Rubio wouldn’t be [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
