IT’S PLAYOFF TIME! Another regular season of NBA basketball is over, now the real season begins. I am going to preview each match up, but first I’ll start with the Eastern conference first. In the East, only about half of the series will be somewhat close. The Celtics (1st seed) will take on the Hawks … Read more

Today was the last day of a terrific Sports Journalism Summit I attended at the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Florida. Poynter (http://www.poynter.org) is a place rich with work from many great writers. I met some professional writers and learned a lot. Roy Peter Clark ran the Summit and did a magnificent job. He is … Read more

LAKERS STAND TALL AGAINST THE SPURS! LA probably secured their position atop the west. If they can beat the Kings (they’ve been tough of late) they will clinch the top seed in the toughest conference. That would mean home court advantage all the way through the western conference teams and if they have a somewhat … Read more

WIZARDS DOMINATE FOURTH QUARTER AND BEAT SIXERS! Gilbert Arenas is really playing well. I don’t care about the first three quarters, he showed up big time in the fourth (finial score 109-93, Wiz win). His three point range is better than you would get in a video game. He thinks he will make it every … Read more

LISTEN TO WHAT SIR CHARLES SAID ABOUT ESPN! I love what Charles Barkley said on the Dan Patrick show today (here’s his website). Especially his comments about ESPN. He said he thinks they have been, “jack asses,” about the MVP race and it pisses him off. The point was that ESPN reporters think KB24 (Kobe … Read more

SIXERS BEAT THE PISTONS! In a game which Detroit never lead, the Sixers beat the Pistons 101-94. These two teams have a good chance of meeting in the playoffs, but this wasn’t a full blown preview. Rip Hamilton didn’t play and the bench rotation was much too generous, every player got at least six minutes … Read more

MAVS BEAT THE SUNS! The Mavs should have a bounce in their step after beating the Suns 105-98. Another win against a 500. team, they must feel good. They finished the game really strong, holding the Suns to just nine fourth quarter points. If Dallas can sustain the same level of energy they had in … Read more

HORNETS BEAT THE WARRIORS! The Warriors played a terrible fourth quarter and lost to the Hornets 108-96. This was an up and down game for both teams. New Orleans would go on a run and Golden State would come on strong again. The difference was defense. David West got off his jump shot with ease, … Read more

UTAH BEATS UP ON THE SPURS! The Jazz held the Spurs to just 26 second half points and won be 26, 90-64. This is a big feat because they beat the Spurs by so much. I expected them to win (they have the best home record), but not blow them out. For about three quarters … Read more
