Will You Be Watching?
Ever since the Warriors and Suns got knocked out of the playoffs, I haven't watched much of the NBA playoffs because none of the teams and matchups were of much interest to me. I know I'm not the only one. Many people tuned out once the teams with high interest were bounced. The Spurs and Jazz…

This thing just got serious
When the Eastern Conference Finals started last week I was in the managed expectations and perspective business. No matter what happened to the Cavs, it would benefit them, I said. Even in a conversation I had with general manager Danny...

All those tattoos prepared him for this
Auburn Hills, Mich. -- So I was wrong guessing Larry Hughes was taking a handful of Advil and limping around out there for Game 5. I asked him about the foot this morning at shootaround at the lovely Palace of...

Things will change in Game 2
San Antonio -- Can't speak for all of you, but this series is already getting a little tiresome for me. Oh, there's only been one game played? Wow, you could've fooled me. Two days with this much attention makes the...
