Never Forget, Never Forgive

This is the second portion of a two a day article…click here to read the first part.
Second item on my mind: Will Cleveland ever forgive Lebron James? Anyone who reads my articles or has ever read my posts in the past has a complete comprehension of my disdain for ‘The King’, but should he be exiled from his hometown forever. I understand the levity of the question because the first query that comes to my mind is “Does he deserve it?” My initial, knee-jerk response is absolutely …

The Storm is Coming In

As me and the lady friend are preparing to go to tonight’s Thunder/Nets game (actually my girlfriend is preparing, I’m going in sweat pants and a yellow & purple Thundercats jersey), thoughts are rendering in my head that excites me for the rest of the season. One is how good the Thunder, or more importantly, Kevin Durant will be. The man is averaging 27 ppg while shooting 42% (career worst) from the floor, and an anemic 26% (another worst) from three point land. Durant takes 21 …

Power Rankings: Week 5

Power Rankings: Week 5
The season is more than under way and things are starting to unravel. First, is everyone realizing they were completely wrong about the Miami Heat? Can ESPN please stop this ridiculous ‘Heat Index’ nonsense? It’s starting to become one punctuated joke after another. Talk of a 70 win team is long gone and the Vegas over/under of 65 is comedic. They have a way to many problems that don’t even include their unbalanced line up. The finger is already being pointed at others, …

Looking Through the Hour Glass

The Spurs have been amazing. I can’t fathom how good they are playing. In the preseason, everyone is pumping up the Celtics/Lakers, Heat/Magic, Heat/Lakers, Thunder/Lakers matchups with all of those being interchangeable. Now, the Spurs vs Lakers is what I am most excited about, and what would you know, as if Santa came down and gave us an after Christmas treat. December 28, the two teams face off in what is to be expected the Western Conference Championship series. Of course, this is assuming both …

The Deep South

Entering in the NBA Season, a few questions lingered in the Southwest division. Is Chris Paul happy? Can he perform at the same level of a few years ago when the Hornets were one game away from going to the NBA Finals? Mentioning that series, San Antonio, a team almost all critics claim this is the year the age will turn sour. Wine eventually goes bad, Tim Duncan legs can’t keep going and his presence is no longer feared. So the question is, can this team …
