The Celtics beat the Cavs 97-92 to advance to the Eastern conference finals. We saw two special players really ball today: Paul Pierce and LeBron James. The reason the Celts are better is they have a tremendous supporting cast. Despite Allen’s poor performance, Rondo has been great, Brown was ballin and House provided a spark. … Read more

LeBron James willed the Cavs to win over the Celtics. The series is now tied 3-3 and game seven will be played in Boston on Sunday. It seemed just like another typical game in the second round- the home team had the upper hand. They started the second half on fire and I thought they … Read more

I wrote a nice guest post about sports blogging on a site called The Sports Dollar. It is written by a friend of mine named Kellex and he is a great writer (he also writes le basketbawl). Here’s a sneak peak at my post titled: Don’t Recap, Rethink: A Sports Blog Primer:Blogging is thought to … Read more

The Knicks will hire Mike D’Antoni as head coach. His contact will go four years and he will payed-too much for a rebuilding team. Everyone knows that Mike can coach and be successful, but a great coach has to have great players. It’s almost as bad as the Larry Brown debacle. I think six mill … Read more

The Pistons beat the Magic 90-89 to take a 3-1 series lead. I think that the Magic went too quick on the last play of the game. Hedo held the ball for a few seconds and didn’t leave the Magic enough time to extend the game. I would have liked to see a quick shot, … Read more

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
