The Golden State Warriors entered the 2011 NBA Draft Lottery with a 0.8% chance at winning the number one spot. And like true to lottery form, the Warriors did not win the lottery and will be drafting at number 11. While I was at the lottery, I had a chance to go one-on-one with Warriors […]

Western Conference Finals – Game 2: (3) Dallas Mavericks vs. (4) Oklahoma City Thunder, American Airlines Center Final Score: Thunder 106, Mavericks 100 Kevin Durant’s big Game One was overshadowed by Dirk Nowitzki. Half the pundits said Nowitzki was due to have games like Game One the entire series (not likely) and the other half […]

The NBA world was set on fire by Dirk Nowitzki’s scintillating 48 point performance. He was 12-15 from the field and a record 24-24 from the free throw line. Safe to say, we’ve never seen quite the shooting performance like that. ESPN’s Bill Simmons

As a Cavs fan, I couldn’t be more thrilled with the way the ping pong balls bounced on Tuesday night. I know some people think the Draft lottery is rigged and even if it is, I could care less. I might have agreed had the Cavaliers walked out with the 5th and 11th picks, but […]

With the Conference Finals in full swing, we thought we’d take a look through the crystal ball and give our predictions for the Mavericks-Thunder and Bulls-Heat matchups. My take WCF – While I really do like this Thunder team, I felt like the Grizzlies would have been a better matchup for the Mavericks. The Thunder […]

Game 2: (1) Chicago Bulls vs. (2) Miami Heat, United Center Final Score: Heat 85, Bulls 75. After an embarrasing game one loss to the Bulls, the Heat came out focused. With Derrick Rose struggling and the rest of his teammates failing to pick up the slack, Bulls: Rose 28 points, six assists. Heat: Bosh […]

The effort to get Bill Russell a statue in Boston has been going on for years. This past year, it picked up a lot of steam and, earlier this month, the team announced it was finally going to happen. In true Russell fashion, he wasn’t just going to sit there and put up a statue. […]

Before the 2011 NBA Draft Lottery began, I had a chance to catch up with Detroit Pistons’ Greg Monroe who was there to represent the Pistons at the lottery. Monroe, who had a solid rookie season averaging 9.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, and shot 55% from the field, was hoping to bring some luck to Detroit […]

SECAUCUS, NEW JERSEY – Hours before the 2011 NBA Draft Lottery, Charlotte Bobcats head coach Paul Silas grabs a beverage, takes a seat in the media hospitality room while his lucky charm, a Bobcats headband given to him from a nine-year old child when he took over as head coach for Charlotte, sits in his […]

Minnesota Timberwolves’ boss David Kahn has worked tirelessly. He’s put in a tremendous amount of effort, studied new concepts and consulted his peers. And in the end, he’s been pretty successful… at making his run with the Timberwolves a complete laughing-stock. Let’s put aside the drafting and trading for of every point guard in creation. Let’s […]

How often is a 40 point on 10-18 FG and 18-19 FT performance completely overshadowed? Not often, but it happened last night thanks to Dirk Nowitzki. Here’s how Game One of the Western Conference Finals broke down. Game 1: (4) Oklahoma City Thunder vs. (3) Dallas Mavericks, American Airlines Center Final: Dallas 121-OKC 112 Dirk […]

Both Conference Finals series present interesting dichotomies. Oklahoma City and Dallas is a battle of the young and the old, the 2000s against the 2010s. Chicago and Miami is a battle of team-building strategies. A battle of superstars against a team that executes in the half court and works together through strong defense. We will […]

The Western Conference Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder present an interesting look in the mirror for both teams. In many ways, the team across the court is very reminiscent of the other in its younger… or older days… depending on which side you’re on. Each has a 7-footer that plays […]

Who’s excited for the 2011 NBA Draft Lottery!!! (Hello, hello, hello… is there anybody in there??) Don’t feel too bad if this year’s NBA Draft Lottery is leaving you comfortably numb. Heck, I didn’t even realize it was tonight until I saw an ad on SportsCenter yesterday. The 2011 Draft class may be one […]
