LeBron James

Anyone else annoyed with some media members “preaching” on LeBron James? The same people who have blasted him for quitting on the Cavs and “The Decision,” are now insisting fans stop hating and give James his due respect. I respect LeBron James. He’s an incredible basketball talent. The best player in the NBA. A champion. [...]

Keyon Dooling is still preaching, and the good reverend still believes in his (maybe former) squad, telling the Miami Herald.  “Our team was built to last,” Celtics guard Keyon Dooling says. “Experience, togetherness, will, drive. We peaked at the right time. We had the right group of guys together …” But? “We fell short to pure talent,” Dooling [...]

“I just missed,” Durant said. Was there contact? “I really couldn’t tell you. I’ve got to watch the film, I guess.” Are you saying you don’t think you got mugged by LeBron on that last play? You don’t believe you were fouled? “I missed the shot, man.” Durant knew he was fouled. His reaction on [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder came back from a 13 point deficit and beat the Miami Heat in a thriller of a Game 1 that you had to stick around to watch.   And that turned into ratings gold, as it became the highest rated NBA Finals Game 1 in ABC’s history. The 105-94 win in Oklahoma [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat might be the toughest NBA Finals to call in quite some time.  They are alternately very similar and quite different.  They each boast a 1-2 punch that can be both explosive and inconsistent.  But, as usual, this will be a series that comes down to match-ups, and I [...]

Props to Chris Bosh. It was the Boshtrich (19 points, 8-10 FG, 3-4 3 FG, 8 rebounds) who led the Heat to a 101-88 victory over the Celtics tonight. Not the punky Dwyane Wade who padded his stat sheet in the 4th quarter, or the phony LeBron James. I have no desire to write a [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. There are certain favors you ask at great, great risk. Such as: Borrow large sums of money. Help move a piano. Take care of your dog that [...]

The world famous “NMA”, short for Next Media Animation, has given the Eastern Conference Finals their animated treatment. They call Boston “the Ben-Gay Celtics“, show Paul Pierce with a walker and KG with a cane. They aren’t much nicer to Miami, saying they’ll need “all the fouling and flopping and help from officials it can get.” [...]

LeBron James was out of this world good last night.  He hit every shot he took.  He was an unstoppable force.  But it's the TYPE of shots he hit that are leaving the Celtics a little more comfortable with his performance than one might think.  After the game, Doc said I wasn't really okay with [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “They’re not just going to pack for [Game 7],” Rivers said of his team. “They’re going to bring suits for Tuesday and they’re going to bring suits [...]
