Spurs steal Game 1 (SAS 1-0)
Winning on the road is a necessity on the playoffs. I watched this game on the road, in Reno on my way home from my grandmother's funeral. The Spurs outexecuted the Suns down the stretch and earned a 111-106 to steal homecourt advantage. This recap will be short because I need sleep after all the…

PLAYOFF Game Thread: Bulls vs. Pistons Game 2
Yo, guys, play better? The team (and willing media) have already burned up the 'energy' excuse...which is a lame cop-out to begin with. Just start with the guards playing well and staying on the floor. Less time for the bench is a good thing, although you'd think they'll perform better than in…

They’re cheering for Detroit in Turkey (Game 2 Pistons-Bulls)
For all you Turkish fans out there: Of course, if you’re actually reading this in another country and can’t get the game on TV, you might be interested in this … That’s all I got — I’m plum out of time, because I’m heading to the arena in a few…

Monday Afternoon Lay-up Drill
Couple of random links as we head into the home stretch before tonight’s game: Jason Maxiell gets some love from the Chicago Sun-Times, as well as me over at the FanHouse (and big head nod to Tim for the video). Everyone expects the Bulls to play better tonight … but is that enough?…

A Rivalry Remembered: Pistons fans
In the late 80s and early 90s, you would have been hard pressed to find too many people who hated Michael Jordan. He sold everything from underwear to dollar-store cologne, and his face was plastered across magazines and on the television year-round. Yes, everyone loved Michael and the…

Bring on Utah!
70% of GSoMers wanted to see the Warriors square off against TMac, Yao and the Rockets in the 2nd round of the playoffs, but unfortunately Houston did not have lift off in the 1st round. So it looks like the next squad that will have to play 5 vs 20,667 in Oakland will be the Utah…

OPEN PLAYOFF THREAD: Jazz @ Rockets- TNT Saturday (6:30pm) - A date with who?
Rockets (W-L): 52-30 Jazz (W-L): 51-31 Time: 6:30pm PST TV: TNT To be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion it really doesn't matter who we play next. Beating the Mavs in the first round felt like winning the damn Super Bowl in the Bay Area (ok exaggeration). Not only did it show the world our…

PLAYOFF RECAP: Game 6: Warriors 111, Mavs 86 - WE BELIEVE UPSET!!!!
Oh. My. God. After 13 years of missing the playoffs, the Warriors shocked the world by squeaking into the 8th seed position with a 42 and 40 record on the last day of the regular season! It's only fitting, I suppose, that we get matched up with Goliath in the form of the Dallas Mavericks, a team…

PLAYOFF RECAP Prequel: Warriors Beat the Mavs 4-2!!
The world was shocked tonight, but we weren't! It was becoming increasingly popular to diss the Warriors, their loyal and passionate fans, the Bay Area, and GSoM, but who cares? We got this W and that's ALL that matters. I don't want to hear about how Dirk choked in the playoffs. I want…

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 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...

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...

Cavs gut one out, 81-77
--Make no mistake, the Cavs won this game with defense. This is a Mike Brown special. The Cavs held the Nets to 6-of-19 shooting in the fourth quarter and 37 percent for the game. Vince Carter was just 7-of-23, Jason...

Halftime, Cavs by 2
--The game is being played at the Cavs pace with the score 43-41, the Nets can win a game like this but would prefer to run a little more. Still both teams have things to be happy and upset about.--The...

One quarter down, Cavs up 23-20
--After Mikki Moore scored three quick baskets, Mike Brown switched Zydrunas Ilgauskas to him instead of Drew Gooden. Still, it appears Gooden was following a game plan by double-teaming Vince Carter and Jason Kidd off pick-and-rolls when Moore got free...

Here live at the Q, where there is a very late arriving crowd. A couple of notes to pass along before this game starts. First off, LeBron James is under the weather. He's battling a cold and had to leave...

Rough and tough, tied at 59-59 after 3
--The Nets aren't doing anything special, but LeBron hasn't been a major factor. They are bringing help but LeBron hasn't deep posted or driven much at all. You can double him 25 feet from the hoop without feeling much pain...

Slightly more analysis than 'they all sucked'. Slightly.
It's tough to believe this Bulls team has a ton of weapons and can survive off nights from some of them. Maybe they can against some squads but not against a team like the Pistons. If Ben Gordon puts in a few more stinkers they're toast. The start of the game was just as bad as it could've…
