….and then there were 4.
After a very interesting conference semifinals, which saw three sweeps and the end of the reign for a ‘king’. Looking toward the next round, we can expect more competition and possibly some more surprises. If there is even one sweep, it would be absolutely shocking based on what we’ve seen so far.
At this point, there isn’t much to preview. We know these teams very well, and these teams know each other even better. I do have a question for each team as we move to the …
Before the opening round of the playoffs, Lakers coach Phil Jackson had some words toward opponent Kevin Durant and the officials that he gets extra calls as a superstar. Jackson got fined by the NBA and the Lakers beat Durant’s Thunder. I guess it was worth it…
Now, before the conference finals against the Suns, the Zen Master has another target – Steve Nash. Here are Jackson’s comments on the two-time MVP in regard to preparing for him in Lakers’ practice:
“Yeah, because you can’t carry the ball like he does in …
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh……….Antoine Walker?
The former Celtic non-great has decided to try and make a comeback to the NBA, joining names like LBJ, D-Wade, and CB4. Let’s just hope he’s not holding out for the max contract he never had.
Recently, Walker has been working out with former coach Rick Pitino’s Louisville players in preparation for a comeback. Walker has been out of the NBA since 2008, but there’s much more than a normal comeback that he has to overcome.
Walker is one of the laziest players to ever play …
Disclaimer: I am a HUGE LeBron hater. With that said, read my thoughts on LeBron, and what I truly believe the Cavs did wrong in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Boston. It’s not 100% biased either (maybe just 95% biased, haha).
After watching Game 6 of the Cavs/Celtics series, ask me if I’m happy:
You: Shooter, are you happy?
Me (Shooter): YES!!
Ok, now that we’ve cleared up that, let’s take a look at what the Cavs did wrong to go home much earlier than they thought.
Before the season started, the Cavs decided they …
Celtics 94, Cavaliers 85 (Celtics win series 4-2)
Oh my, that just happened…
Boston will now move on to face the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference finals after a 9 point clinching win at the TD Bank North Garden. I’m honestly still in disbelief this happened. Again, the Celtics used a balanced attack of Rondo, Ray-Ray, Pierce, and KG and gave LeBron and Co way to much to handle.
But let’s be honest – if anything was telling about the last 2 minutes of the game, it was Cleveland giving up. 9 …
This edition of News and Rumors will be of the extended tidbit sort. Here are a few topics that have come up within the last few days with the opinion of Shooter – the most important opinion of all!
New Jersey Nets Basketball: It’s More Than Just a Russian Owner
Why not start with my favorite team, the New Jersey Nets. Now I know I don’t have much to brag about (and by much, I mean anything), but the Nets have a future. This future is definitely brighter than it is now – …
Celtics 120, Cavaliers 88 (Celtics lead 3-2)
Wait…what? Did anybody see this coming?
I, who had hopes of Boston maybe stretching this series to 7, never thought this was possible. But the Boston Celtics used a balanced attack of their Big Three to completely romp Cleveland on the road. They now have a 3-2 series lead and could wrap up this series with a win at The Garden Thursday night. It was Paul Pierce’s turn to lead Boston with the attack tonight, scoring 21 points and picking up 11 rebounds (he was …
