The Return of the Beloved

March 29, 2010

Zydrunas came back to Cleveland yesterday, much to the delight of the adoring fans. He was the focal point of all the festivities at the Quicken Loans Arena, even being introduced before the game despite the fact that he wasn’t starting. It was a big deal to Cavaliers’ fans.

Step It Up

March 24, 2010

When a good player gets hurt or goes down with an injury, usually a player (and in some cases an entire team) have to step up and fill the void left or the whole season will collapse in on itself.

Now imagine how difficult it would be to fill in for a great player.

Now a top 5 player. Pretty tough, right? Read the rest of this entry »


Long Delay

March 22, 2010

The Pacers smashed the Thunder yesterday. I can’t really explain why, I didn’t watch the game. However, I’ve noticed that Danny Granger cannot be the main star on a very successful team. Maybe a second option as an all-around player with legitimate scoring abilities, but not the main guy.


Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

March 17, 2010

A big shoutout to the most famous Irish basketball player in the league right now: Shaquille O’Neal. Also of Irish heritage: Kevin McHale, Mike Breen, and Jason Kidd. Who knew?


Agent Six?

March 12, 2010

Gilbert Arenas is also changing his number to 6 next season, or at least he has filed the necessary paperwork in order to do so. Gone is Agent Zero, superficially I guess. Hopefully, gone will also be his foolish antics involving small arsenals of weapons and rumored jokes.


Blue Chips

Nick Nolte, Shaquille O’Neal, Penny Hardaway, Ed O’Neill, Bob Knight, and Bob Cousy. Need I say more?

Still Fighting It

March 9, 2010

LeBron James missed his second consecutive game last night. Yet the Cavaliers were able to defeat the Spurs. It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t due to luck or chance. It did have something to do with the Spurs not being as advertised this season, but that isn’t the point. Read the rest of this entry »


Happy Birthday Sasha Vujacic!

March 8, 2010

You are another year older, congratulations. Now fix your shot.


Really?

March 8, 2010

Ron Artest is channeling his best Dennis Rodman by dying his hair funky colors with the added sprinkle of language emblazoned across his dome. Maybe he thought this could snap the Lakers’ funk recently, however it did little to prevent another Lakers’ loss, brining the streak to a surprising three games.


The Myth

March 5, 2010

There is a myth circulating around the league that the Lakers are far and away the best team in the league, a virtual lock to win another championship. It almost seems as if they are unbeatable. And in fairness, they are the toughest team in the league to beat, especially if they are playing anywhere near what they are capable of. Read the rest of this entry »
