It looks like Kobe Bryant either wants out of L.A. or he doesn’t. Who knows? He’s flipped and flopped his stance a few times this week, but the real important question is: Where would he go and also were would be the best place for him to go?
Phoenix has enough assets to trade and this [...]

The back-and-forth game started off with a [...]

Deron Williams shook off the effects of the flu to start against the Spurs last night but it didn’t help too much as the Jazz were unable to overcome the Spurs. The Utah loss sets up a do-or-die game in San Antonio on Wednesday with the series now at 3-1.
On a side note, I have [...]

Lebron and company picked up their first win of the Eastern Conference finals last night to bring the series to 2-1. King James, who had played under expectations through the first two games in Detroit, put 32 points up on the board to go with 9 rebounds and 9 assists and, unlike games 1 and [...]

With the Stanley Cup finals starting on Monday night —inexplicably skipping over an entire weekend where games could have been played and brought in some ratings money— what better time to run a preview of the series then on this fine weekend? Alright, I could’ve run it earlier, like when the Western finals ended earlier [...]

Whatever it is, that’s what the Cavaliers have been in the first two games of the Eastern conference finals. After Donyell Marshall, usually a dead eye from long range, missed a wide-open three pointer for the win in game one with time dying, Cleveland blew another chance to take a game in Detroit.

With the Lost and American Idol season finales on last night, it was good idea by the NBA and NHL to both take an off-day. Me? I was stuck at work not watching the Lost finale due to a minor-league hockey game. Lovely.
One significant event did happen in the Majors last night; the Yankees took [...]

I’ll be honest: I’ve never watched the NBA’s draft lottery before; I never really cared to be frank. But this year I’ll be tuned in (and not because I work in the sports department of the paper). The draw for Oden/Durant is the most compelling since that of King LeBron, but I didn’t even bother [...]

The Pistons held true to their word and stifled King LeBron last night in their game one victory. James only managed 10 points — a playoff low— on 5-for-15 shooting. He almost managed a triple-double though and could’ve had it on a play that would’ve tied the game with seconds left.
LeBron drove with time winding [...]
