Make sure you check out my appearance on TheBasketballJones. I kindof got pumped up while doing it...a lot of the same talk that was a part of yesterday's post. To look over the strengths and weaknesses that each team displayed this season, the following is from the wonderfulKnickerblogger.net…

The NBA’s dirty little secret is out, and everyone knows that teams are intentionally losing games down the stretch. Franchises that have been eliminated from the playoffs and held on to their pick (sorry Knick fans) can reward themselves by losing games down the stretch. And I can’t…

After the Warriors finally ended the 12 year curse, we celebrated. Oh, we celebrated. It felt good to finally get the monkey off our back, but as GSoM friend Henry Abbott of ESPN.com's TrueHoop fame pointed out after the Warriors sealed the deal, we needed to get gritty: You…

I blogged yesterday after the locker room cleanout, but we must have had some computer gltiches because when I went on this morning it was not posted. So what I had said in that posting was that I will continue to blog even in the offseason. I am taking some time next Wednesday to shed the manacles…

This Hersey from Ball Club. I'm a special playoff correspondent (or something like that) for the Rising Suns. After a 61 win season, the Suns start the playoffs with a familiar foe in the Los Angeles Lakers. I read some LA sites last night and the LA Times and Kevin Ding's OC Register blog are…

GSoM friend Tim Kawakami was gracious enough to take some time out to do a Q&A with us despite his hectic schedule. He always brings a fresh perspective to the Bay Area and Warriors sports scene. Make sure to make Tim's blog Talking Points with Tim Kawakami a daily stop. Also, make sure to…

--I've tried to build a persona as your friendly neighborhood realist over my career, yet I've been cracked as being too negative of late. So today, I put on the rosy glasses and patted the Cavs on the head for...

Time to get down to our annual end of season awards. The last three years, I just made my own picks and threw them at you, but as an old homeless guy reminded me last Sunday, "sharing is caring," and so this year's awards are going to be a bit more interactive. (Actually, the whole…

So I've spent the past few plane flights -- with an eye toward the Lakers facing the Suns again -- reading Jack McCallum's ":07 Seconds or Less" -- the book about McCallum's season spent with basically full access to the Phoenix coaches. (By the way, shouldn't it just be "Seven Seconds or Less,"…

Saying 'it's almost better this way' that the Bulls are playing the Heat rings hollow, I admit. It would've been nicer to get the 'easy' route to the Eastern Conference finals. If the Bulls need to prove themselves, they could've proved themselves then. But proving themselves now isn't the…
