Closing Out the Series - 119-110 Suns (Series 4-1, Suns)
Game 5, and the Suns showed up to play. I expected them to play a bit lazy, I expected them to come out a bit slow... but not so much. The game started with a four point play from James Jones and a quick 8 points fromr Raja. The Lakers fought hard the whole game, but the Suns really just put them…

Tonight's Honorary Captain
Not enough news gets published about the community involvement of the Warriors organization and the players. They do great things around the Bay Area for the local youth and community. Tonight, the Warriors are making a dream come true for Ryan Fong, a teenager afflicted with cerebral palsy. My…

The (unofficial) Pistons Playoff Song
I got a totally random/awesome email from a reader yesterday: Adam, a long-time reader who’s currently a student over at Western, sent me a song that some of his buddies put together last weekend. It’s one of those playoff anthems to get everyone hyped about the Pistons. If you’re…

PLAYOFF OPEN THREAD - Game #6: Warriors vs Mavs - Ours For the Taking.
It's time to make some history. Warriors: 3-2 Mavs: 2-3 Time: 7:30 pm PST TV: TNT Radio: KNBR 1050 I have to admit, so far this has been one of the most entertaining playoff matchups that I have ever seen. Granted, it would have been better if we had shut down the Mavs in Game 5 in…

The world, according to Kobe
Kobe Bryant praised both Lamar Odom and Luke Walton by name when it was finally over for gutting through injuries as the season wound down, but neither one had a good enough playoff to get the Lakers past the Suns. And even though Bryant clearly has a lot of affection for a lot of these teammates,…

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 other series is dragging, eh
Toronto -- So I busted tail up here to T.O. after the Cavs took care of business in the lower 48 to watch what I thought was going to be a closeout game last night between the Raptors and Nets....

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...
