…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 […]

Listening to him is over the river and through the woods – you have no idea where he is headed. Here is a sample of something Hubie might say: “The Boston […]

They hate each other because they are the exact same person: passionate, aggressive, abrasive. I completely understand why some people hate them both; they are so obnoxious and brash in […]

The NBA playoffs are a joy to watch, not just because of the fantastic level of play, but because of how well run they are. The schedule is flawless; until the Finals, there is literally a game every single night. Right now, it’s alternating between the Eastern series and the Western series, and I feel […]

I’m not feeling too good about this season for the Giants. It’s never a good sign when two former Giants head to our rivals (Plaxico to the Jets, Steve Smith to the Eagles). Even if Shaun O’Hara and Rich Seubert weren’t worth the money, Kevin Boss was worth it. I just have so many questions: […]
