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

Team USA delivered a big time win against Spain 119-82. They really seemed to be in control the whole game; no wavering in who was in control of the game. If Team USA has an MVP, it is Dwayne Wade. He came into these Olympics with more to prove individually than anyone on this team … Read more

Here’s the best play from today’s USA vs. Greece game: Wade to Kobe, can you imagine that combo? Wade is definitely in full force and I expect more highlights from him and others. Can you think of a crazy alley oop combination? Let’s hear it in the comments!

Team USA beat up on Greece 92-69, finally taking full control of a big game. In the opening minutes of this game Team USA looked terrible. JKidd picked up three very quick fouls (I think at the 8:35 mark in the first quarter) and the game was slow and it was Greece’s game. That’s why … Read more

A million here, a million there, that’s the song Andre Iguodala put on repeat; getting a six year, $80 million dollar deal with the Sixers. Of course, this is too much money for Iggy, but what were the Sixers to do, break up their young core because they want to be thrifty? Look, they have … Read more

Now that Team USA beat Angola (97-76), it’s time for them to prepare for some big games. Next up is Greece, a team with no players I am familiar with. They aren’t favorites to medal, but International “Guru” Fran Fraschilla thinks that they are the best “team” in this tournament. Looking at their roster (scroll … Read more
