It occurred to me that much like the National Basketball Association forgot to start their season on time, I forgot to write up a preview/prediction post in time. But, as you may note, I’m not two months late, just a few meaningless days.
I’ve also changed it up a bit, not just previewing what I think [...]

Believe me, if I could I would use a lot stronger, more vulgar words in the title to describe the state of the NBA right now, but I did actually want this post to stay up here. So, take what I wrote up there, toss in some four-letter words and you’d be nearly half way [...]

The NBA and its players really messed this one up. Because everybody waited until the last minute to start serious negotiations, the 2011-12 season is about 90% not going to happen.

Yao was plenty of things — unstoppable big man, pioneer for Chinese basketball, one of the few true centres in the league, let down by his [...]

This should be one of the zaniest NBA drafts in a long time. There’s a lot of uncertainty flying around and that should make for a lot of interesting plotlines. There should be quite a few trades – involving picks, players and even some stars – thanks to the coming lockout. You also have two [...]

After reading about ESPN’s “Ultimate Team Rankings” report naming Toronto the worst city in North American professional sports, I was actually put at a loss for words to defend my home town. I should have actually seen it coming. After all, isn’t the foreshadowing here a bit in the standings? Toronto [...]

This turned out to an NBA final with a ton at stake for a few of the players involved. And we’re not just talking about rings and titles here; we’re talking about legacies and how players will be viewed historically from here on out.
With Dirk Nowitzki winning his first title and the Finals MVP, he [...]
