What’s Next For The Lakers?

So it’s over. The Lakers lost. So close, but so far, as they fall 4-2 via an agonizing loss in Game 6 to the Boston Celtics. What’s next for the Lakers? The offseason has begun, and you can rest assured the Lakers are not content with a second-place finish.

Calling Out Kobe Bryant

I will ignore several things about the NBA Finals thus far heading into tonight’s Game 6, because some things just don’t matter at this point. I will ignore that despite good numbers, Pau Gasol has played uninspired ball. I will ignore that Jordan Farmar and Sasha Vujacic clearly have trouble co-existing. I will ignore that [...]

The Biggest of the Big Three

There is a line on a fresh new song that resonates deeply, for me, with respect to this year’s NBA Final. The chorus, it seems, in combination with another striking line (”Bling eyes can look at me and see The Truth”), sums up the biggest and most important member of The Boston Three Party. [...]

Teams May Turn to Europe

Okay, so your team didn’t do so well in the playoffs. And they didn’t luck out in the draft lottery either. And they don’t even have much cap space heading into the forthcoming NBA free agent frenzy. Sounds like they’re in dire straits when it comes to improving this offseason, right? Wrong. There’s still a [...]

Drafting Derrick Rose Is Easier Than You Think

Last season I spoke very strongly in favor of Kevin Durant being drafted first overall. Portland had Zach Randolph in the middle and, at the time, the team had no strong options on the wings. When they traded Randolph to draft Greg Oden, I shrugged it off because you can’t go wrong with a guy [...]

Home Cookin’

We all learned a long time ago to never count the San Antonio Spurs out.
But after Tuesday’s 22-point loss to the New Orleans Hornets set them back three games to two, it’s difficult not to envision the Conference Finals without the black and silver. Yes, the Spurs have a home game left tonight and yes, [...]

Duncan vs. Garnett

It is a storyline that, while noticed, has fallen under the radar to some degree. While NBA fans clamor for Lakers-Celtics, LeBron-Kobe, and Spurs-Pistons, a potential NBA Finals match-up of San Antonio against Boston doesn’t seem all that appealing.
Except for, you know, the whole Big Three against Big Three thing.
And the “Maybe the Best Power [...]

The NBA and the Internet

The NBA does a fantastic job marketing itself on the Internet. This statement seems obvious coming from a basketball website, right? Sure, but the breadth of this Internet dominance had not really hit me until I saw a startling stat the other day.

Potential NBA Finals Match-Ups

If you are a reader of my site, and you probably aren’t, you have noticed a decline in my basketball content over the past two weeks. It is a problem caused both by baseball season kicking off and ESPN’s J.A. Adande stealing all of my article ideas literally as I sit down to write them [...]

Is There a Diamond in the East’s 5-8 Seeds?

Alright basketball pundits, we get the message. The Western Conference is far superior to the Eastern Conference overall, but the East may have the best two teams.
We’ve heard that sentiment plenty lately. We’ve also heard to no end just how exciting and competitive the West’s playoff race is. Don’t get me wrong, I love that [...]
