I know I’ve been on an extended vacation (sorry for that, wasn’t planning on it), but now the season is less than a month upon us. This season is gonna to be tremendous, can’t wait. I really want to see the Blazers pan out (did you know they’re running a live blog today?). I love … Read more

The Cavs want LeBron to stay away from the gym for a couple of weeks before training camp opens. LeBron is so fit he can take two or three weeks to relax? Course it’s true but do the Cavs have to rub it in? I’m fine with LeBron taking a week off, maybe. But if … Read more

Kobe Bryant has decided to skip his right pinkie surgery; something that really puzzles me. Sure, it is important to get a winning mentality (not to mention all of your key players) in training camp, but they made it to the finals last year and this year they’ll be even better. While this is brave of … Read more

I’m glad that the documentary on LeBron was a hit (here are the reviews). But why can’t the great Canadians (the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival) get it out on DVD? This is coming from someone who loves basketball and movies. I mean I understand that they wanted to make this film … Read more

Another guest post from the Sports Dollar’s Contest of Sports Sexiness If you’re keen on jumping on the bandwagon of hosting your own blog contest, here are some tips how to do so.

I know I haven’t been able to update recently (I’ll try to as much as possible), but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been watching the news and staying up to date. So here’s what I think about the latest stories! The Mario Chalmbers and Darrell Arthur “incident”: of course this was a mistake, but don’t … Read more

The Oklahoma City NBA franchise, formerly known as the Sonics are set to unveil the name, logo and colors next Wednesday. Well, the name Oklahoma City Thunder has been tossed around a lot. I don’t love it, don’t hate it (hey, it’ll still be a bad team). I would now like to see the management … Read more

Team USA has finally redeemed their title as the best basketball nation in the world, beating Spain 118-107. It was a close game through 40 minutes, truly the best international game I’ve seen so far. Kobe Bryant was kind of the MVP of this game, he had big plays on both ends down the stretch. … Read more

I’ve been disappointed by some of Team USA’s earlier performances, but it sounds like they are good enough to win. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to watch the first two medal-round games (Australia, Agrentina last night Beijing time) due to the early morning starts. I am eagerly awaiting waking up at 2:30 am Eastern to … Read more

Team USA finished up pool play with a big win over Germany, 106-57. This wasn’t really a game worth watching, but I saw a lot of great highlights. This was really no contest, it was 31-12 after the first. The USA had too much fire power for Germany to handle. Germany really is weak offensively, … Read more
