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 …

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 …

As a Nets season ticket holder I am disappointed that the New Jersey Nets lost out in the LeBron James sweepstakes.  I am not the hugest LBJ fan, but I have to admit that it would have been exciting to watch him play 41 times a year.  A lot of articles that have been circulating the web, newspapers, and magazines have been bashing “King James,” and they have every right. …

Boston 96, Miami 86 (Celtics win series 4-1)

There was a little scare in the second half, but Paul Pierce confirmed his next visit to Miami will be “on vacation”.
Pierce’s 21 points and excellent all-around play held off a furious attack led by Dwyane Wade and company to clinch the first round playoff series. They now await the winner of the Cleveland/Chicago (most likely Cleveland) series, whose game was currently at halftime as of press release.
Ray Allen also led the Celtics with 24 points, shooting 5-6 from beyond the arc. Rajon …

Miami 97, Minnesota 84
As all of us talk about players Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and even Kevin Durant, we all forget about a guy that is winning by himself, Dwyane Wade.
Wade follows his 43 point performance with a 39 point one to lead the Heat against the Timberwolves. This is the eighth straight victory for Miami, which just like the weather, are red hot. Honestly, there was a point about 3 weeks ago where I didn’t think they were going to make the playoffs, but Wade would not …
