Jameer should be used as a spark off the bench. Not a poing guard logging major minutes. He should play max 15 minutes a game. He’s a great player in form, but he’s been way too long for Van Gundy to leave him out there for so long.
Huge mistake by Van Gundy [...]

Kobe stop trying to show your teeth.  You look stupid.  You’re trying way too hard to look like a tough guy.  Just play basketball.

Ok Kobe, so did you plan on doing anything or were you just going to say ok over and over.
Also, I’m tired of Mike Breen.  The guy needs to go back to the boyscouts.

I really enjoyed Doris Burke’s color in Mavs vs. Nuggets game 3.  I thought she provided very good insight and did a great job working with the play-by-play.

Ron Artest just got right in Kobe’s face and told the great #8 he better not get his elbow up in his neck.  I’m telling you playoff basketball is back with this Rockets vs. Lakers series.  This is how it was back when the Bulls played the Knicks – not these boring games with no [...]

Shane Battier: A True Player

April 27th, 2009

I’ve got to watch a lot of Shane Battier in the past week and I’m very impressed with this guy.  On the court, he is an absolutely phenomal defender and a terrific teammate.  Listening to him speak and just watching the way he acts you can tell he’s a cerebral guy.  He’s also the kind [...]

I love this 2008-2009 Portland TrailBlazers team.  They’re so exciting to watch.  I know they lost tonight, but you’ve got to love their style of basketball.  Greg Oden is another true center in the league that will have a great career.  His offense has been a little bit slow to come around, but if you’re [...]

Bang.  Bang.  DUNK!  D. Howard gave Theo Ratliff a left handed hammer on his face.  He dunked directly on him, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.  Dwight Howard plays like a true big man which is so refreshing to see.  Reminds me of shades of early Tim Duncan, Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, and Shaquille [...]

Nuggets Sharp So Far

April 24th, 2009

After 2 blowouts over the Bugs, the Nuggest have me wondering if they’re for real this season.  I’m confident they’ll handle whoever comes out of Spurs/Mavs, but the real test lies with the Lakers.  Hopefully past playoff matchups are no precursor to the future Western Finals.  If so, I’m not watching.
Note: Give credit to Chauncey [...]

Needing to summon a huge game after 2 days of rest, the Spurs former MVP Tim Duncan only scored 4 points before Gregg Popovich pulled his starters a few minutes into the 3rd quarter.  I guess the Spurs need to conserve Duncan’s minutes so he can be fresh for his 7 points in Game 4.
