Not lovin' that losin' feeling
So the overriding theme at practice today was if and how the Lakers can shake this feeling that they're losers after the Game 2 blitzing they got. Phil Jackson called his players "depressed and humiliated." I guess that pretty much sums up how losers are supposed to feel. At 42-40 in the regular…

Tracking the referees
The Pistons have a love-hate relationship with the refs. Actually, that’s not true — I’m not sure there’s much “love” to be found anywhere. While the refs seem to tolerate some Pistons (Tayshaun Prince and Chauncey Billups generally have a good rapport) other…

Who’s better: Rip Hamilton or Kevin Martin?
Did Kevin Martin have a better year than Rip Hamilton? Tom Ziller of Sactown Royalty thinks so, while Michael Bloom of Basketbloom disagrees. (Update: TZ lays out his argument)

Game 2, let's preview
Some thoughts for tonight: --It is no surprise to most objective observers, but Eddie Jordan says Brendan Haywood is going to get some more playing time tonight. He is doing this out of need, not out of desire. Everyone I...

Suns beast Lakers in Game 2
All the buzz around this series has been the Suns failures in Game 2's the last few years. They've lost five straight Game 2's including four out of five at home. It's not a useless stat because that recent history is something this team has to move past. They did that tonight in a big way. The…

Odom's trying, at least
If the Lakers continue to slide into the offseason this way, there will undoubtedly be calls for trades of major proportions. And any trade to fetch a top-quality player would most likely have to include an Andrew Bynum/Kwame Brown package or Lamar Odom. Even though Odom hasn't had the dream…

Thoughts on today's big news
While I don't think that anybody was surprised by the firings, for ease of the term, of Bob Hill and Rick Sund, what did surprise me was that the team didn't use the opportunity to make a bigger splash, to get the fan base (or what's left of it) excited, to generate some buzz about a dwindling…

Pick Mavs to win title
The NBA playoffs will be interesting to watch as there are dangerous teams in both the East and the West. It would be kind of good to see a team from the East win again, since everyone says the West is best. So I wouldn’t mind seeing Miami win it again.The West has several teams that can go all…

Bulls 107, Heat 89
This fallacy of 'energy' as a predictor of who was going to win was exposed yet again tonight. Throughout the first half the story was that the Heat got sent a message in game one and would try and come out in game two with more energy, to match the energy of the Bulls. Well maybe…
