Posted: 30th April 2010 by Ashwath Krishna in NBA
There isn't a Golden State fan alive who doesn't remember every bit of the 2007 Warriors-Mavs playoff series. I can guarantee you that every single one of my ex-girlfriends started dating me with no knowledge of basketball, and broke up with me knowing just who Boom Dizzle is, why I own every piece of Sydney Kings merchandise that has any connection to Stephen Jackson's four game stint in 1998 (which proved ...

Los Angeles Lakers: The Ron Artest Experiment

Posted: 30th April 2010 by Josh Hoffman in NBA
His hair is ugly. His 2010 playoff numbers are even uglier. An 18.5-percent postseason clip from three-point land makes you wonder why the Los Angeles Lakers did not make more of a run to re-sign Trevor Ariza, who shot nearly 48 percent from downtown during last year's playoff push. Since signing with the Lakers last summer, Ron Artest has been critiqued and questioned, doubted and dared. First it was his ability—or lack thereof—to belong, ...

The Chicago Bulls Fire Coach Vinny Del Negro

Posted: 30th April 2010 by Darrell Horwitz in NBA
Perhaps I'm a bit presumptuous with the heading of this article, but I can't take the suspense anymore with the Bulls letting "Our Coach Vinny's" career hang in the balance while they decide if he's the right guy to lead this young team. We all know the answer to that one. We knew it two years ago when they hired him. He wasn't the right man for the job, but "The Price ...

What We Learned From The Dallas Mavericks’ Loss

Posted: 29th April 2010 by Anthony Higgins in NBA
After watching the Mavericks lose in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the San Antonio Spurs, I learned a lot of things about what is wrong with our team and what we need to do to get better.     Jason Kidd is not capable of guarding anyone.   Yes, he is our best option at point guard and is the most efficient at running our team, but if we can't stop ...

Posted: 29th April 2010 by Loscy Loscy in NBA
The original article can be found on Loscy.com Yes. I am saying it. I am going to say it through and through: I like the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semis against the Cavs. Why? F it: Why not?
