Regressing Your Way to the Top
Warms my heart to see Federer looking like Federer again. He has struggled with his game in much the same way as LeBron this year. You know the greatness is there but for some reason it has gone dormant. As I do whenever something is on the tip of my brain but won't come out, I turn to Ellen, otherwise known as Game Buddy #1.
Re-Sign or Release: Delonte West
The premise is simple. Assume all players are restricted free agents and that they'll likely need at least a small raise from last year's salary. Do you re-sign? Or do you release? Of course, we'll leave LeBron James out of this scenario. And also, a little supporting argument always helps. Do Enjoy.
Paul Pierce: The Truth Comes Out
He just played his biggest game on the biggest stage against the biggest star in the league and he came on top. Like my main man Winston Curchill always says, "A lie gets halfway around the world before the Truth has a chance to get its pants on."

Hyping up Game 7: Cavaliers-Celtics
Sixteen years after the last time they met in Boston for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cavaliers and Celtics meet again with a trip to the NBA's Final Four on the line. If only Marv Albert and the NBA on NBC were still around to hype up what has been the perfect throwback to how the NBA used to be played. One thing hasn't changed, though: it's Game...
Celtics Move On To Conference Finals
In a game that was reminiscent of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals where Larry Bird and Dominique Wilkins went head to head, LeBron James and Paul Pierce battled from start to finish of the Celtics 97-92 win. As in that classic game of yesterday, LeBron won the duel but Pierce got the win.
The Celtics came out strong and played aggressively, taking the ball to the basket and...
Bring on the Celtics!
BOSTON (AP) - Paul Pierce returned home and made sure the Celtics would play there again.Boston's captain scored 41 points, hit two clinching free throws with 7.9 seconds left and led the team with the NBA's best regular season record to a 97-92 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday in Game 7 for a spot in the Eastern Conference finals.
That round begins Tuesday...
LeBron James' View Outside Of Himself
And you know it, too. You know just from watching games that there's no way Chris Paul can do with Tyson Chandler what LeBron James can't do with Zydrunas Ilgauskas. That Joe Smith could be the versatile forward to LBJ as David West is to CP3. That Daniel Gibson, Delonte West and Wally Szczerbiak could play every bit the part of Jannero Pargo, Peja Stojakovic and Morris Peterson.
Boston Eliminates The Cavs, 97-92
Paul Pierce summoned his inner Larry Bird and unleashed his best game for when his team needed him most. Single-handedly, Pierce brought down LeBron James and his roving band of Cavaliers. It was a grueling matchup that went down to the final minute, but when an errant Paul Pierce free throw found its way to the bottom of the net (perhaps with the help of Arnold Auerbach), Boston...

What better Headlines: Lebron James is suppose to be the next coming, the NBA savior of the next generation, the next....(you fill in the blank - Jordan, Magic). The Celtics 'the best team in the NBA today'. The team that only lost 16 games all season and ONLY 6 at home all season! WAIT.....STOP RIGHT THERE! Unlike...
The NBA Owes US An Apology

Can the Mecca of Basketball Land a King?
The thoughts that ran threw the mind of Lebron James after the 97-92 loss to the Boston Celtics must have been many:

The Greatest Team of our Generation
This after the Spurs beat the Hornets in game 7...
All 4 sports. Every championship team in recent memory. Nobody compares to the Spurs, who started in 1999 and play the same way to this day: with a high basketball IQ and strong defense. A style that might award them their 5th title in 9 years.
