Kobe, not Dirk, should be MVP
It’s time to make my picks for NBA awards, so let’s get right to it. There has been a lot of buzz about Dirk Nowitzki for MVP this season, but I would have to go with Kobe Bryant. He’s had an unbelievable season, scoring at least 50 points 10 times! The Lakers have had a lot of injury…

Silas might be perfect for Bobcats
Stray thoughts, post-season version: I don’t know whether Paul Silas will get the Bobcats’ coaching job, but I can vouch for how hard he’d work to succeed. In his mid-60s, this would be Silas’ last gig and he intends to...

Three and almost out
Washington -- Cavs take Game 3 98-92. At least it was entertaining, right? Not that anyone in NE Ohio was paying attention to anything but the Browns and NFL Draft. Well, in case you weren't watching... --Zydrunas Ilgauskas is playing...

Yee-ness, D.C. parties and more
Washington -- Very little buzz here in D.C. over the impending Game 3, but that is understandable. While the Wizards tag this town as the most powerful city in the world, it's also a place that loves a winner and...

A rainy Game 2
--Don't confuse Drew Gooden's Let it Rain with Pacman Jones Make it Rain. One involves a geeky-looking hand gesture. The other $81,000 in cash and strippers.--Drew informed me tonight that he can't do his rain dance until he makes at...

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...

So you want more Xs and Os, eh?
I got a great deal of feedback on my column on Sunday, which was about two things. One, it was my view of the five different levels at which people watch games. Second, it was an in-depth breakdown of the...

Cavs finish the job, up 1-0
--It wasn't pretty, but the Cavs ground it out to take the lead in the series so today is a smashing success with a 97-82 win. Yet neither team played all that well and the Cavs let the Wizards hang...

End of 3 and Cavs still up by 7, but it's still up in the air
--The offense still ain't great, it is wheezing on the execution scale. Just two assists that quarter for the Cavs again. But the defense continues to keep the Wizards guards out of the lane and the easy points to a...

Halftime, Cavs up 7 and Wiz happy
--The Wizards are elated right now. They are right where they want to be. They outplayed the Cavs in the second quarter and have basically not gotten hot at all on offense. There was a six-point swing that went against...

So, when does the next round start?
The Pistons still have no idea when they will be kicking off the second round. Chris McCosky explains in the Detroit News: Q . Do you have any idea when the series might start? A . It cannot start before Saturday; that much is certain. Pistons executives think it will be a Saturday-Monday start for…

First quarter over, Cavs up 27-20
--LeBron James is at it again. He's as active as he's been on season with and without the ball. Not only is he attacking, but he moving well to create angles and really seeing the floor. He's well on his...

Don't take it for granted
Washington -- It may have seemed routine and, all things considered, easy for the Cavs to dispatch the Wizards in four games. There was franchise history made tonight. The Cavs had never swept a series, they'd never even won back-to-back...

The first key
A whole week of hype is coming, and it's probably well-deserved. While I fear that it won't be the most aesthetically-pleasing series, it's full of fun matchups and compelling storylines. But first to re-cap what the Bulls were able to Miami, the importance of the conquest almost seems…

Lindsey Hunter may be retiring (and I’m getting old)
From SI.com: Looks like this will be Lindsey Hunter’s last hurrah in Detroit. Hunter, one of the genuine good guys in the NBA if not all of sports, has an offer on the table to join the Pistons front office after the season and says he is likely to take it. Hunter has been a valuable role…
