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... Sign in to see full entry.

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... Sign in to see full entry.

Redwings And Penguins In The Stanley Cup Finals !

Well, the Stars fell by the wayside. The Redwings took them out in Game Six and advanced into the Stanley Cup finals against the Penguins, who were simply waiting to see who they were going to play. Taking a stab at it, I'd say that the Redwings will take the Cup in five or six games... Sign in to see full entry.

How About Those Boston Celtics?

Well, it looks like it might be a long road to the championship for the Celtics. But if they keep on winning home games, they will win it all. They'll just have to play seven in each series... Sign in to see full entry.

There's Something To Be Said About Home Court Advantage...

Of the 18 games played so far in the second round of the NBA playoffs, 17 games have been won by the home team. The lone exception was Detroit, who also has become the first team to advance to the semi-finals. Sign in to see full entry.

Boston Destroys Atlanta

It was over halfway through the first quarter when Boston doubled Atlanta's score. It only got worse from there. Boston ended up winning 99 - 65. The longest series in the first round, but it's finally on to round two. Boston will take on Cleveland and LeBron James. Other second round play: San... Sign in to see full entry.

The Second Round Of The NBA Playoffs Have Begun, But Wait...

San Antonio got their asses handed to them last night by New Orleans in the first game of their second round matchup in the West. Paul and crew were on fire during the second half. San Antonio was just sloppy. There will be no repeat championship if they keep playing like that. Detroit took out... Sign in to see full entry.

What The Hell Happened To The Crimson Tide?

I heard a statistic I could hardly believe. But I guess it just proves the adage that all good things must come to an end. This year's NFL draft saw not one player from the University of Alabama chosen. Did I hear that announcer on ESPN correctly? If I did, somebody let me know. Man, what a bummer....

The NBA Playoffs Are Giving Us Surprises

Who would have though the Lakers would totally dominate Denver like they did? Not only that but Denver became the first team in NBA history with 50 wins or more to get swept in the first round. And who would have thought Phoenix would fall so quickly to San Antonio? What happened to all that... Sign in to see full entry.

DeShawn Stevenson Of The Wizards Should Be Suspended

If anyone watched the Cavaliers defeat the Wizards in Game 4, they more than likely saw DeShawn Stevenson take a savage swipe at Lebron James and nearly take his head off, then belligerently go after James when James got up. Nothing happened. DeShawn Stevenson should have been expelled from the... Sign in to see full entry.
