After a few days of letting the first part of the balance of power post settle in, I think it is time to finish up my premature and angry emotions about the upcoming NBA season. If you need to find out what I am talking about, take a read of my previous post. It’s actually right below this one. There are a lot of things bothering me and maybe I should have expressed them when they occurred, but compiling them altogether simply sounds more effective when expressing emotions …

Thank God this is over.

All day I’ve been dreading this one-hour ‘special’ based on the idea that LeBron would do everything in his power to make himself the focal point of the world for one hour. How he could think a one-hour special was a good idea is beyond me.
So LeBron has made his decision. He will go to the Miami Heat to join four other players. Luckily for him two of those guys are Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. When the news came out on Wednesday that Wade and …

I don’t know what is bigger news for tonight: The Ref making his illustrious return or the NBA Draft. I’ll let my followers decide upon themselves on that one. Anyway, this year’s draft is interesting to say the least. If there is one word that could paint a perfect picture for tonight is potential. Most of these players entering in the realm of the big times may have jumped the gun a bit, but no doubt have the God-given ability to make a difference a few …

Lakers 83, Celtics 79 (Lakers win series & championship 4-3)
Call it an ugly game, call it a sloppy game, call it whatever you want – I call it a classic.

The Los Angeles Lakers were able to overcome a fourth quarter deficit while trailing for most of the game to pick up the 2010 NBA championship, the 16th title in franchise history, with an 83-79 victory over the Boston Celtics. The Lakers did exactly what Phil Jackson said was supposed to happen after Game 5 – they went home and won …

Celtics 92, Lakers 86 (Celtics lead 3-2)

We knew before this game that each team would be fighting for their life trying to avoid being on the brink of elimination. There was only one team that deserved to win this game, and the other team truly deserves to be on the brink of elimination.

Both teams came out of the gate full of enthusiasm. They both had urgency and purpose, but that lead to many rushed plays and a ton of turnovers. The Celtics came out aiming to beat the Lakers with …

Some may call it a rematch. Some may call it the greatest rivalry in basketball. I call it a pretty incredible June Jubilation matchup.

No, I don’t mean the Celtics playing the Lakers is incredible. I actually am focusing on the Boston Celtics, who EVERYONE wrote off to be too old and washed up, actually making the NBA Finals. Just think about it. In January, the basketball world saw the Celtics as a team that could not even run up and down the court, let alone stay healthy. Boy, what a …

Lakers 111, Suns 103 (Lakers win series 4-2)

I had quite a busy Friday and Saturday, so I fell asleep for most of this game. When I woke up, the Lakers had the game in hand early in the fourth quarter. I considered changing the channel, but then a barrage of Goran Dragic brought the Suns right back into this game, with the Suns getting within five points of the Lakers. At this point, with the crowd behind their backs, it looked like the Suns were going to come back and …
