Boston Wins 17th NBA Championship
The Boston Celtics went into Game 6 in Boston up three games to two over the L.A. Lakers. They came out of it with a win and the championship, well deserved for the team that posted more wins during the regular season than their competitors. But it wasn't pretty -- not for the Lakers. For the...

... But They Didn't; Back To Boston For Game 6
Told ya so. L.A. took Game 5. Now, Boston will be back on home court, where they have been quite formidable all year, so watch for it all to end in Game 6. If the Lakers can pull off a stall victory in Game 6, the final game will be a toss-up to see who wants it most. Boston is far more beat up than...

Lakers Allow Record Come Back -- And Lose
For the first time in NBA post-season history, a team has come back from a 21-point deficit to win a game. The Celtics were playing in L.A., getting trounced, and began a massive comeback in the third quarter that culminated in a win that puts them up 3-1 in the Finals. It ain't looking to good for...

Boston Took The First Game...
Well, the NBA Finals have begun and Boston has jumped out to a one game lead. Are they going to win it? They're back in stride. The series might still go seven games if Boston's problem of winning post-season road games crops up again. But Boston should win it all...

With Every Eye On The Guy With The Ball, How Did The Ref Miss That?
Last night, in San Antonio's 2-point loss to the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals, something happened I could hardly believe. Brent Barry faked a shot with a second to go and the Lakers' Derek Fisher went up and came down on his head with his elbow. Barry shot and missed the...

The Spurs Are Going For Another One
Man, that Tim Duncan is one tough guy to beat in the playoffs. Chris Paul and crew found that out tonight. San Antonio goes on to take on the Lakers for the Western Conference finals. I don't know, but I just don't think Duncan and the boys have enough left in them to take out the Lakers. But I sure...
