The Need for Sheed
Who would have thought that Rasheed Wallace would be an antidote to the Celtics’ front court woes? The guy has spent the greater part of his 14-year career as one of the most infamous players in the NBA. Rasheed has been battle-tested, and occasionally battle-approved, since he first set foot on an NBA court with [...]
Reebok Still Talkin’ Quote of the Day - 11.10
Stephen Jackson is quickly becoming this year’s Rasheed Wallace. In years past we could always count on ‘Sheed to give us a great sound bite or share his true feelings about a player, referee or coach. Since joining the Boston Three Party, he has been on his best behavior and left a Trash Talk void. [...]
Sheed's getting into boxing
In a big interview with NBA.com, Rasheed Wallace talks about not only his love for boxing... but his desire to get into it for the health benefits.NBA.com: But I've heard that you have gotten into the ring with Bernard Hopkins as a sparring partner from time to time.

Late Night Top Ten
As we prepare for basketball season to officially start up on Friday night, I have been thinking about what to expect this year. What are we as UK fans looking forward to or looking for?Here is my top ten in no particular order, except #1.10. It will be nice to hear a postgame show where the coach makes some sense and doesn't blame everything on toughness and getting whipped.9. I...
Disappointed At My Lakers
Well.....today could be the last day of the NBA season....and of our Lakers as we know them. And that kind of relieves me.I'm so disappointed with this team. Even if they win the next 3 games, though I'd celebrate the championship like hell, this team still disappointed me.First off.....it is painfully obvious that the additions made in the offseason have really done nothing...
NBA FINALS: Spurs v Pistons
SUBSTANCE OVER STYLE. If it happened the other way....the Miami-Phoenix Finals would be....well, hot. The headlines would have read "Heat-Suns Series To Be Scorcher!". And the American Airlines and America West Airlines would fight over their airfares and their arenas [you are now free to roam around the kitchen]. That Finals...
DETROIT, WHERE FOR ART THOU?
The Detroit Pistons are getting smacked in the NBA FInals. Only once in playoff history, has a team come back from this kind of beating to win a series [in 1995, the Rockets lost the first two games to the Suns by a combined 47 points]. Nothing is going right. They can't score [they are averaging 72.5 ppg]...nor can they stop San Antonio from scoring [90.1 ppg].
But why? ...
...And That's Why These Guys Are Champions
The San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons have a lot in common.
They are the last two NBA Champions.
They are the two defending conference champions....meeting in the Finals last year with the Spurs winning in seven games.
Both are the top seeds in their conferences this year.
Both have lost three consecutive games in the conference semifinal series to put their backs right against...
