Did anyone really think that the Milwaukee Bucks were going to roll over and just let the Atlanta Hawks sweep this series?  The Bucks are a tough team that has overachieved all year long.  Head coach Scott Skiles pushed all the right buttons during the long layoff between Games Two and Three in this series. With that being said, the Hawks looked terrible in Game Three.  It would have been easy to ...

There's a new creed in the Cavalier kingdom: Ask and ye shall receive. You're asking for more intensity, more focus, and a renewed playoff energy? It took a quarter and a half, but the Cavs finally looked a No. 1 seed for the first time since Game 1, using a 39-15 run across the end of the first half and beginning of the second to turn a three-point deficit into a 21-point ...

Being lucky enough to have a press pass for Game Four of the Chicago Bulls-Cleveland Cavaliers playoff series, I had the opportunity to ask some postgame questions to the stars of both teams, along with Bulls' coach Vinny Del Negro. The Bulls were blown out, but the game was 47-46 Cavs when the turning point of the game occurred with Vinny Del Negro substituting James Johnson into the game with 3:05 left in ...

He had great intensity. He was perhaps the most competitive individual in the history of the sport. He possessed absurd athleticism. But perhaps as important as all of those traits, Michael Jordan's drive to add to his already brilliant repertoire every offseason is what made him the greatest of all time. For a young, developing team like the Sacramento Kings, the work put in this summer could potentially make a ...

The 2009-2010 NBA season has been one full of surprises. The Bucks have asserted themselves as a playoff team in the East despite losing Michael Redd and trading away Richard Jefferson, the Thunder have made the leap to contenders, and even Memphis was decent all year. However, not all surprises were positive. The Celtics had a disappointing season in which their age started to catch up with them, Toronto choked ...

It was cute when the Chicago Bulls played the most competitive first-round playoff series last season against the reigning-champion Boston Celtics. It was heart-warming to see the team fight hard to make a run and grab the final playoff spot this season. And it was even nice seeing them win a home game against the top-seeded Cavaliers Thursday night. But Sunday came and awoke the Bulls from dreamland, bringing them back to the reality that is LeBron ...

Chris Bosh is a free agent this off-season. Bet you didn't know that. Most people think that he's as good as gone from the Raptors. Now, this may just be my point as a Raptors fan, but I think that the Raptors have as good a chance at signing Bosh than anybody. Bosh stated in a news conference after the season was over that he didn't care about big markets, ...

For quite some time now, Bulls fans have been questioning whether Vinny Del Negro will be gone once the season comes to a conclusion. Things have been looking dim for quite some time now. Things have transpired over the season, all pointing to the end of the road for Del Negro. Well, early today a rumor was going around which could be the beginning of the end for Del Negro. Rumor is, via ESPN, ...

It seems like no one in the Raptors organization really wants Chris Bosh to depart for greener pastures this summer and it also seems like Chris Bosh loves Toronto, the fans, and the Raptors organization. But it also seems inevitable that Bosh will be gone by the time next season starts and that Chris Bosh and Bryan Colangelo have a tacit agreement to get the Raptors’ All-Star to a team he ...

The Portland Trail Blazers looked done. Prior to Saturday's victory, Portland had lost two in a row to a hot Phoenix Suns squad that didn't look like it would be letting up at all in Game Four.  Then something big happened. The star and leader of the Blazers, Brandon Roy, made a shocking return just eight days after arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus.  It was apparent before the beginning of the ...
