Gilbert Aren-ASS Suspended Indefinitely

The NBA took a hard line approach to the Gilbert Arenas saga, which continues to get uglier each day as it continues to unfold, by suspending the former All-Star indefinitely.
In my humble opinion, this action is clearly the right call, and is actually overdue. If the NBA would have reacted more swiftly they could have [...]

Still Not Con-VINCE-d

After watching Vince “Cupcake” Carter hit the deck following a mild collision with  Ersan IIyasova, I immediately predicted Carter would be slow to get up, so he could milk the crowd for some attention.
It is a scene I became all to familiar with while watching him play in New Jersey for the Nets. The slightest chance [...]

Clicking On All Cylinders

As expected, the Magic took care of the hapless New York Knicks in convincing fashion. You could get the sense early on that this was going to be a good old fashion shellacking. The Magic came out with good energy, executed well and ultimately wore down a decimated Knicks line up. Depth was a big [...]

Magic Building Momentum!

The Orlando Magic continued their winning ways tonight against the lowly New York Knickerbockers. Concluding an impressive road trip in which they did what a championship caliber team is suppose to do; win games against inferior opponents. Each game saw the Magic get behind early then fight back with their superior talent and depth. All [...]

Resounding Resilience

The Orlando Magic and Diwght Howard got back on track last night with an impressive road victory against the up and coming Atlanta Hawks. More importantly, Dwight Howard finally found his offensive game and played with aggresiveness we haven’t since yet in the beginning stages of this season. Hopefully, this is indicative of what we can expect [...]

Let’s talk some NBA.

The finals have been good on both ends this year and there has been a lot of discussion and debate over a lot of crap. I think it’s time for me to toss my opinions out there on the whole thing and I really don’t care what anyone thinks. I’ll start with the Lebron/Kobe debate.
Kobe [...]

Angry NBA Wednesday.

It was an odd night in the NBA last night. A couple of not so close games has some odd behavior attached to them. The Magic got handled fairly easy by the Celtics in game two, but it was Rafer Alston’s girly behavior that caught my attention.
It’s not shocking that the Celtics came out with [...]

Dwight loses because of himself.

Dwight Howard lost the dunk contest tonight to Nate Robinson. He should have and he took part in his own loss. He didn’t lose because he was bad and he didn’t lose because Nate Robinson was so good. He lost because he decided to stand still under Robinson as he dunked over him. Nate Robinson [...]

Why am I watching this?

It shows the state of the athletes in the NBA when a guy like Daequan Cook wins the 3-point shootout. I didn’t expect Rashard Lewis to win, I would have been just as disappointed if he did, but I did expect the guy (Jason Kapono) with the best shot to take it. That was the [...]
