Chicago Bulls/Miami Heat: Game 1 – The line in this game closed with Miami as 13-point favorites. I am taking Chicago because I feel like this will be a close game. The Bulls are still fired up and carrying momentum from their last series and Heat may be a little slow after not playing for […]

Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat Game 1 — 7 p.m./TNT LeBron James was quite clearly MVP. There really was no doubt about it. When I was on with 103.7 The Game in Lafayette, La., on Friday, they asked me if you could make any argument to vote for anyone aside from LeBron James. I told […]

In four seasons, David Kahn was the butt of jokes around the league. There were questionable acquisitions, puzzling draft picks and really seemingly no direction. It was a time of some deep, deep embarrassment for the Timberwolves organization if not within then certainly to the outside. His Timberwolves never made the Playoffs. Never got close, […]

Grizzlies' Marc Gasol was amped up during a scramble for the ball versus the Thunder in Game 1 of their series late in the game. With the Grizzlies clinging onto a narrow lead and the Thunder charging back, Gasol was fighting for a rebound so much that he went tumbling to the court after trying […]

Memphis Grizzlies/Oklahoma City Thunder: Game 1 – I think now we are going to see how much the Thunder will miss Russell Westbrook. They go from the Rockets, who play close to no defense, to the Grizzlies who have the best defense in the league. – Kevin Durant is the only one doing anything for […]

Chicago Bulls/Brooklyn Nets: Game 7 – The one and only Game 7 in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Not sure what to expect from this game. We have seen both teams be very bipolar, it is just a question of which team shows up. I am going with the Nets though. – Joakim […]

The Miami Heat and the NBA have called a press conference for a little less than 24 hours from now. It is hardly a secret what it is for. Unless the NBA is preparing to name Erik Spoelstra the Coach of the Year, history will be made at American Airlines Arena the day before the […]

New York Knicks/Boston Celtics: Game 6 – Four Game Sixes tonight. That is a lot of basketball packed into a Friday night. It is an easy decision in the first round of games. Going with this game rather than Pacers/Hawks, as I am sure most of the world will be. – The Celtics decided to […]

It seems like any coaching vacancy that opens up these days is followed with the immediate thought that “hey, Phil Jackson might want to coach there.” The answer is always no, and Jackson has shown no signs of wanting to return to the bench, whether it be for a contender or the challenge of a […]

If you look up the definition of "intensity" in the dictionary, aside from the definition itself, you might find a photo of Boston's Kevin Garnett next to it. Throughout his entire NBA career, KG has exuded emotion, intensity, and often times too much intensity on the court. Some people like it while some think it […]

Brooklyn Nets/Chicago Bulls: Game 6 – I am picking both road teams tonight. I would have picked the Nets even before I learned Luol Deng was not playing. Last night I recorded a podcast where I compared these Nets to the 2006 Phoenix Suns who came back from 3-1 down against the L.A. Lakers. I […]

Seattle fans patiently waited. After having a team stolen from them with disingenuous owners working to rob a devoted city of its franchise, Seattle put itself in line to get a team from a group of disingenuous owners working to rob a devoted city of its franchise. They knew that would be what had to […]

Things got a wee bit heated after the Celtics-Knicks Game 5 in New York City. The Celtics walked off MSG with a 92-86 win forcing Game 6 in Boston but as the teams walked off the court, Jordan Crawford and a few Knicks, including Carmelo Anthony and Raymond Felton, exchange words and had to be […]

Boston Celtics/New York Knicks: Game 5 – Before the game, Charles Barkley was saying how he wanted to root for the Celtics because of what J.R. Smith did to Jason Terry and how Smith was saying the Knicks would have swept if he was playing. I am going to jump on that bandwagon. – I […]

Will the Zen Master head north of the border to be in a front office? It's hard to tell, but the Raptors think so Although he has not been a NBA coach since 2011 with the Lakers, 11-time NBA champion (11 as a coach, two as a player) Phil Jackson can never really seem to […]
