NBA Free Agency 2010: Is J.J. Redick Worth The Cost For Chicago Bulls?
Posted: 11th July 2010 by Ros Dumlao in NBA
The Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic are in a bidding war for restricted free agent J.J. Redick.
Recently-signed swingman Kyle Korver and Redick could answer the Bulls' perimeter-shooting woes.

The Magic are expected to match the Bulls' offer, but is Redick worth ...

Posted: 28th June 2010 by Ros Dumlao in NBA
For the Philadelphia 76ers to see the light of the 80s glory days again, they need to focus on a rebuilding process.
And what a better way to start than with the No. 2 pick?
The pick gave the 76ers some pretty savvy options to either help out their back or front court. They chose Evan Turner, and by doing so, might have sent a message that they are looking to ...

Posted: 28th June 2010 by Ros Dumlao in NBA
When it comes to Chris Bosh, don’t count the Houston Rockets out just yet.

Posted: 21st June 2010 by Ros Dumlao in NBA
J.A. Adande, what are you talking about?
The sports columnist subtly mentioned on ESPN that he spoke with a general manager who said not to rule out the Lakers in the mix for LeBron.
As ridiculous, far-fetched, (you fill in the blank) as this rumor may sound, let's not close the gate too early.
At the same time, let's not let the LeBron-Laker ordeal be the main focus for our 2010 NBA ...

Posted: 15th June 2010 by Ros Dumlao in NHL
Richard Nixon resigned the day after my brother-in-law was born. It was an eventful week for my brother-in-law's parents.
And the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup the day after my nephew was born, the day after I officially became an aunt.
Yes, I watched the game from a hospital in downtown Chicago. It wasn't the most ideal setting, but at least I saw it. Plus, I got a great view ...
2010 NBA Finals: What Happened To Ray Allen’s Hot Hand in Game Three?
Posted: 9th June 2010 by Ros Dumlao in NBA
You'd think Ray Allen would have the most momentum going into Game Three of the NBA Finals after his historic performance in his last outing.
In Game Two, he set an NBA Finals record with eight three-pointers, was the leading scorer with 32 points, and his Celtics team stunned the Lakers in front of Hollywood celebrities.
The Celtics hauled the Lakers to the other side of the continent, had the home-court advantage, ...
2010 Stanley Cup Finals: Do the Chicago Blackhawks Share the Cubs’ Curse?
Posted: 7th June 2010 by Ros Dumlao in NHL
I beg the Chicago Blackhawks to please prove me wrong on this— that superstitions aren't real, at least for Chicago sports.
I like to believe that I'm a fairly logical person, but what we love about sports are the heartfelt, comeback, underdog, turnaround, you-name-it moments we see. And maybe those are the moments that will happen for the Philadelphia Flyers. Philadelphia is the home of Rocky Balboa, after all.
