The NBA Finals have already proven to be controversial and exhilarating… I’ll be honest, my days are spent counting down the minutes until tip-off. Here are my notes from the first two games. – I’m willing to accept the fact that LeBron fouled Kevin Durant in the final seconds on his runner. However, it was […]

It’s a shame that NBA scouts and executives often pass up on quality point guards because of their lack of size. I just don’t agree that size is a vital quality in a point guard; they’re not going to be posting up or dunking on opposing teams anyway. Sure, size in point guards is nice […]

What a great run the Yankees are having. After a great sweep of their cross-town rivals, they’ve got to be feeling good. But, as always, I’ve got to focus on a negative. Alex Rodriguez is proving why he’s one of the most overrated players of all time. While people focus on LeBron James’s lack of […]

The Yankees are finally receiving consistent pitching, allowing them to win 6 of their last 8 games. While few of our key hitters are doing well with runners in scoring position, it hasn’t mattered as of late. Hiroki Kuroda has had a few good/great starts in a row (one-hitter through 7 today against Mets), CC […]

…just when we all wrote off the Heat as finished (admit it – you did too), they come back with a monster game and demolish the Celtics to send the series to Game 7. LeBron quieted all the critics with a beastly, essential 45 points. I was hardly exaggerating when I told my dad earlier […]

I’ve heard so much chatter about the Heat and Celtics. So much. Most of it is generic, baseless, or exaggerated. Here are a couple of notes that actually stuck with me, several being from Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless of ESPN’s First Take. – The Heat have no excuse. As long as they two of […]

Why do effective players become out of style in the NBA?

What was on your mind last night? I was noticing last night how two good friends have had parallel careers. Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington are best buds, but are also very similar players and have experienced very interesting careers. I’m hoping you weren’t thinking about this too, because one person thinking about the comparison […]

At this point, I don’t even care who wins it all. Just not the Heat. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually rooting for the Celtics. To all my fellow die-hard Knicks fans out there, I’m sorry. The Heat are just too, too annoying. It’s all theatrics with them – I feel like the […]
