The Intern on the Raps playoffs

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

As I am sitting here watching game four of the Warriors vs. Mavs series I am still trying to digest the abomination that took place at the Meadowlands. I can’t really come up with a good sentence to fully describe the angst I am feeling right now. I am struggling to get my head around [...]

Good times at the NFL Draft

by Dan Bilicki In: Football

With the Raiders taking JaMarcus Russell first overall on Saturday, there wasn’t much surprise at the top the off the draft, except, of course, for the freefall of Brady Quinn. Russell, who will get –if the past trends keep up- something in the $50-60 million range, is worth it on tape at least. This guy [...]

Jazz and Lakers make it interesting

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Both the Utah Jazz and the L.A. Lakers came home for game 3 and didn`t disappoint their home crowds last night. Orlando did disappoint but we already knew they were going to lose.
The Jazz held Yao, T-Mac and the Rockets to a measly 67 points last night. Yao and McGrady did their fair share of [...]

Yesterday, a day after he missed a connecting flight and didn’t make it to Washington to speak to congress regarding after school programs, a Vick-owned property was raided by police and dozens of injured and emaciated dogs were found.

Baseball last night

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball

Being the guy at the paper that’s forced to sit around and watch every baseball game on any given night can have its upside; for one, I happen to love baseball. There were plenty of standout performances around the league and nearly a record tied.
Jake Peavy, San Diego: Came within one strike of tying [...]

The Favs take charge

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

After losses in the first games of their series, the Mavericks and Spurs came back to take their game 2s last night. Lebron and company also won but we already knew that would happen. The Mavericks defeated the Warriors in a game that saw two of Golden State’s best players ejected for arguing calls. With [...]

Blow outs galore!

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

After game 1’s debacle where the Nets smartly countered the Raps “let’s give away free red t-shirts” idea by wearing red themselves, Toronto evened up their series with an 89-83 win last night. This six-point game was the closest of the night. Around the league, the Heat lost to the Bulls 107-89 to fall behind [...]

by Dan Bilicki In: Hockey

The Vancouver Canucks didn’t exactly win the West but, thanks to a 4-1 victory last night, they’ve advanced to the second round of the NHL playoffs. So, now that the match ups are set, it’s time for my expert advice on who’s going to come out victorious in the conference semi-finals.

Some NBA awards

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Only a year after he was on the chopping block and called one of the worst coaches in the league, the Raptors’ Sam Mitchell took home the honours for coach of the year. Mitchell was at the head of a revamped Raptors team that improved their win total by 20 games from last year; an [...]

NHL moving along

by Dan Bilicki In: Hockey

With the match ups set for round two in the East and only Vancouver taking on Dallas in a game 7 tonight, the NHL playoffs are progressing quite smoothly. With the West still to be decided, there’s no reason we can’t have an East preview here now, is there?
Ottawa vs. New Jersey: The Senators had [...]
