The Wizards are… well… running out of Bullets

0 comments by

The Washington Wizards used to be called the Bullets. How fitting, because the Wizards are running out of shots to make the playoffs. After Wednesday night’s crippling loss at home to the Atlanta Hawks, the outlook for Washington is particularly grim. Five-game winning streak or not, Washington needed to make the streak six. This is […]

The Jazz put some soul in the West playoff push

0 comments by

The Utah Jazz are the Detroit Pistons of the Western Conference. Sure, they’d love to make the playoffs — it would be great if they did — but as much as they’re locked in a present-tense battle, they’re more fundamentally playing for the future. A championship is not a realistic aspiration this season, and it […]

The Bulls get embarrassed, and Fred Hoiberg begins to look bad

0 comments by

Let’s repeat something that was said much earlier in the season: The main problem with the Chicago Bulls was not Fred Hoiberg, but the front office. Gar Forman and John Paxson were the poxes on the House of Chicago. That remains true in the Windy City. The twists and turns of one season are not […]

Chandler Parsons’ injury means the smart play is to opt in with Dallas this summer

0 comments by on 3/22/2016

The mediocre road paved with cheap pea gravel at the bottom of the Western Conference just turn to hot coals for the Dallas Mavericks and became a little less jagged for everyone else with Tuesday’s announcement of a season ending meniscus tear for forward Chandler Parsons. Parsons was hitting the Renaissance portion of his comeback […]

The 1 you don’t want: The Raptors might benefit from not getting the 1 seed in the East

0 comments by

The Toronto Raptors need to be mindful of the familiar expression, “Watch what you wish for — you just might get it.” It’s perfectly reasonable to say that the Raptors and the Cleveland Cavaliers should go after the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, if only because it’s important to have Game 7 on […]

The Warriors-Spurs “drama” lasted all of one game: bring on the playoffs

0 comments by

The Charlotte Hornets did the San Antonio Spurs a favor on Monday night, but more about that later. The Hornets — with a remarkable comeback from a 23-point deficit and a seven-point first-quarter nightmare — stunned the Spurs in North Carolina, taking a 91-88 decision. The Hornets immediately wiped out the memory of Saturday’s home-court […]

Lebron isn’t going anywhere, but he’s not helping himself, either

0 comments by on 3/21/2016

“I’m not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We’re not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I’m realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010. My patience will get tested. I know that. “ — Lebron […]

In light of plot twists such as the Cleveland Cavaliers declaring that they really don’t care about the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the final arrangement of postseason matchups becomes ever more intriguing in the East. In […]

It’s a new beginning, and also, […]
