Game Three of the NBA Finals was quite a roller coaster ride. The matchup—pitting two of the greatest NBA franchises in the history of the game in the Boston Celtics against the Los Angeles Lakers—was like a see-saw ride all night long. For Boston fans, though, it was to no avail—as the Celtics walked off the hardwood disappointed in a tough setback to the Lakers, 91-84. With L.A.’s win, Kobe Bryant and company ...

Pictured: Royal flop The refs are catching lots of heat right now for nervously blowing their damn whistles whenever there’s contact—and yes, they’ve made LOTS of terrible calls in these Finals. But consider the possibility that they’re being deceived by Oscar-worthy actors, masters of deception who deliberately mess with the integrity of the game. Rajon Rondo is extremely skilled at the ...

Dear Mr. Sterling, Thank you! Thank you for moving the team to Los Angeles. Thank you for 2006. Thank you for the wonderful times and smattering of success you have orchestrated in your time owning the Clippers. Seriously, thank you.  Now, its time for you to man-up and do the team the greatest good possible. Mr. Sterling, its time to leave. I don't mean this ...

Carmelo Anthony and the Denver Nuggets are reportedly talking about a contract extension. Carmelo is an upcoming free agent in 2011. Melo has made the Nuggets into one of the best teams in the NBA. I believe Denver should be playing in the NBA Finals right now as they have the talent with Billups and Nene. Carmelo in my opinion is a top 5 player in the NBA and Denver has made him ...

The mentality that "I will not lose" is hard to come by in an athlete. What is even more rare is an athlete that believes he will not lose, but can also deliver on his word. Kobe Bryant is one of those athletes. Since the era of Michael Jordan, I have not seen an NBA player as clutch as Kobe Bryant. The sheer will to win is overwhelming for opposing defenses.  When Kobe Bryant has ...

Unless the sky falls or President Obama and Sarah Palin become Facebook pals, it's pretty certain the Washington Wizards will select Kentucky guard John Wall with the first pick of the 2010 NBA Draft. Little has changed among the top four picks, but as we unveil our revised version, the stock of several players has zoomed up, while others are making like the old board game Chutes and Ladders and going ...

There is major speculation that O.J. Mayo will be traded to the Golden State Warriors with last years No. 2 overall pick Hasheem Thabeet. Monta Ellis would go to Memphis to complete the deal. If the trade were to happen, it would be quite a steal for Golden State. They would have two young players to develop. Mayo would be their main scorer and Thabeet would be the missing piece to ...

The 00's have been an outstanding era of NBA basketball. We have seen some of the most amazing players in the league's history with a good case for best ever at their positions and even greatest of all time. The future for some of the players from the 00's, like LeBron James whose time to win a championship is about to start, is incredibly bright. The era has been dominated mostly ...

I posted my lottery picks  last month. Here’s a look at the second half of the first round. 16.  Minnesota Timberwolves – Paul George, SF, Fresno State I’d be surprised if the Wolves didn’t move out of this slot. For the sake of the mock, I’ll have them select George, who gives them an athletic wing player with a nice shooting touch. He should be a nice upgrade ...
