tmz to lebron: you’re a douchebag

Trades shmades. I am done reacting to Rondo rumors and/or listening to Danny Ainge deny them. In the spirit of offseason fluff, I direct you to this completely irrelevant news… TMZ.com apparently thinks LeBron is a giant douchebag and they’re going to keep chronicling his wardrobe choices until he gets the hint and stops wearing message tees.
The [...]

nba musings: lakers in 5

NBA Finals Game 5
Lakers @ Magic 99-86

I was afraid, but not surprised, that this would be a short series. Kobe and Co. wanted this bad and the Magic just weren’t ready. A few thoughts, bullet-style:

It amazes me how pundits continue to put words in Kobe’s mouth. This morning, I heard a morning show honk say [...]

nba musings: if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything

NBA Finals Game 4
Lakers @ Magic 99-91/OT
If I start talking about this game, I’m going to end up swimming way out deep into hater lake without a life raft and I really don’t want to do that. I’ll let these pictures speak for me.

Don’t like that? How about this?

Come on Magic, don’t let me do [...]

nba musings: live by the 3

NBA Finals Game 3
Lakers @ Magic 108-104
I’ll keep this short and sweet. The Magic shot an UNGODLY percentage and only won by 4. Kobe was gassed. Like Paul Pierce game 7 gassed. I expect the Lakers to win the next two and head home for the parade they’ve been planning since this time last year. [...]

nba musings: ka-booooom!

NBA Finals Game 2
Lakers v. Magic 101-96/OT

Kaboom. That is the sound of the Orlando Magic’s balloon of hope deflating.
Rotations. A word Stan Van Gundy likes to play loose and fast with. I admire rotation adjustments. They’re critical to success. But, at some point, you really can’t be playing every combination of guards on your roster. [...]

nba musings: die by the 3

NBA Finals Game 1
Lakers v. Magic 100-75
This game was a classic “die by the 3″ game. The Lakers defense was part of it, but the Magic also missed a ton of wide open shots. Simply put, the Magic are who we thought they were. The key to me was how the Lakers controlled Dwight. When Dwight [...]

nba musings: i’ve seen the future without the nba and it is bleak

Random NBA thoughts in no particular order:
This stretch between Sunday and Wednesday with no NBA has been brutal. I don’t know what I’m going to do during the off-season this year. It’s going to be long and painful. Sigh. Thankfully tonight, ESPN Classic is airing Game 4 of last year’s finals. I still can’t believe [...]

nba musings: smitty loves him some smitty

Playoffs Game 4
Lakers @ Nuggets 101-120
This blowout didn’t surprise me at all. The Nuggets needed to win this game and the Lakers (deep down inside) knew they had already accomplished what they came to Denver to do — steal one back. So, the Nuggets came out with insane amounts of energy and drive and the [...]

nba musings: a dingo stole my inbounds

Lakers @ Nuggets 103-97
Important thoughts below, brace yourself.

Where was @jeaniebuss on Twitter tonight? How am I supposed to watch an entire Laker game without knowing if Brandy or John Mayer are present and accounted for?
Despite the Nuggets being ahead all game, I just knew the Lakers would win it. They just hung around and hung around [...]

nba musings: @jeaniebuss a must-follow on twitter

I watch a ton of NBA games, but during the season I tend to wear my green colored glasses and focus all my energy on my beloved Boston Celtics. Since they are now fishing in Dingle, Ireland, I have time to ponder other teams and players.

I want to stab my eardrums with a rusty fork [...]
