The New Jersey Nets promoted Kiki Vandeweghe to the general manager position. I think he is one of the best GM’s available. He was already working for the Nets, so he should be familiar with the situation and already have some ideas in his head. His last experience running the show was with Denver and … Read more

The LA Lakers beat the Utah Jazz 109-98 to take a 1-0 series lead. Utah was ready to get blown out in the first half, but played a nice second half. The reason this game got away from them was Kobe getting to the line. He made 21 free throws, something that gets his shot … Read more

The Pistons beat the Magic 91-72 to take a 1-0 series lead. This game was close for two and a half quarters. Then, with about five minutes to go in the third, Detroit played some “DETROIT BASKETBALL!” Orlando could’ve have stayed in the game if they made free throws and were actually aware of the … Read more

The Hawks beat the Celtics 103-100 to tie the series 3-3 and force a game seven. I really didn’t think they had it in them, but they most certainly do. They played big in the money quarter and Boston couldn’t buy a basket for a large part of the fourth. Johnson was mostly contained on … Read more

MJ put his stamp on the Bobcats by bringing hall of fame coach Larry Brown in to run the show. I think this move is a good one, but they still aren’t a contender (for a title at least). Despite Larry Brown’s incredible coaching skills, they are a young expansion squad that can’t win a … Read more

The Magic beat the Raptors 102-92 and will now move onto the second round. Toronto had a chance to make it a game, but the Magic got their first double digit lead with about three minutes to go. Orlando shot some three’s and got a few stops to seal the deal. Dwight Howard had another … Read more

PISTONS BEAT SIXERS! The Pistons beat the Sixers 93-84 to tie the series 2-2. They responded in the second half and took the lead throughout the fourth. The question was would they respond and after trailing by 10 at halftime, they came out ready to take over. This series will go back to Detroit for … Read more

SUNS BEAT THE SPURS! The Suns beat the Spurs 105-86, but still trail the series 3-1. They put forth some defensive effort and they blew them out. They started out hot on offense and it had a clear effect on how they played defense. Mike D’Antoni got thrown out of the game late, maybe this … Read more

CAVS BEAT WIZARDS! The Cavs beat the Wizards 100-97 to take a 3-1 series lead. Delonte West hit a clutch three late to ice the game. The only reason any of this was possible is LJ’s unselfishness. He was doubled and needed to hit someone for an open shot. West was open and he delivered. … Read more

HAWKS BEAT CELTICS! The Atlanta Hawks beat the Boston Celtics 102-93, but trail in the series 2-1. This game wasn’t really close in the fourth, the Hawks lead by double digits for most of it. Something to look at in game four will be Paul Pierce and Al Horford. Horford had some words for him … Read more
