Chris Paul is for real. He lead the New Orleans Hornets from no playoffs the year before to the 2 spot in the highly competitive West. He's extremely dangerous to other teams when it comes to decison making. From pulling up for a jumper, to driving in the lane to dishing it back out to an open   more...

Wow, this is Detroit's 6th straight conference final in by far the least dramatic series in the playoffs. Jameer Nelson couldn't quite come through on his guarantee even though the Pistons played without Chauncey Billups. I think we could say Detroit has a conference dynasty in their hands.

Over the next five weeks, I will go position by position and rank the top 30 players by total value. The NBA is a business, so it doesn't make sense to purely rank the players only by their talent or stats, or by some other qualitative measure (though those factors do matter). We must also look at   more...

The Pistons try to close out the Magic at home. Chauncey Billups is questionable tonight, but AccuScore still sees Detroit having the edge.

"I'm not trying to be arrogant or cocky or anything like that," said Nelson after the Magic fell to the Pistons 90-89 Saturday in Game 4. "But tonight, we let it slip out of our hands. Game 2 we let slip out of our hands." "We're going to win this game in Detroit."

Well, it wasn't rocket science. The key for the Raptors in Game 3 was to come out and compete right from the opening tip. They couldn't afford to come out flat and while they did seem a little slow at the start, they turned on the jets and never looked back. The Raptors were able to use their speed   more...

To be honest, I'm not completely sure what happened in Game 4. The Raptors looked like they were starting to pull away, were up by about 7 and then all of a sudden, the wheels fell off. Much in the same way that big time players come through in the 4th quarter, big time teams come through in the   more...

There are some things that need to be stopped in the world. Greenhouse gas emissions, murder, the Black Eyed Peas and athletes making "guaranteed victory" statements. Honestly, is there anything more lame than somebody coming out and guaranteeing a victory? It is done in almost every series in   more...

All things considered, the Raptors really haven't played that bad basketball over their first two playoff games this year. They have had two absolutely terrible quarters, which happen to be the first quarters of both games, but outside of those first two quarters, they have outscored the Magic   more...

The way the Raptors came out to start their first playoff game of 2008, you would almost think they were playing a preseason game. This looked like an All-Star game (minus the All-Stars) with no defense being played and nobody wanting to lay a hand on anybody. Sam Mitchell acted like he was in an   more...

Such a sad story came out of the Philadelphia area when Floyd "Pete" Nelson's body was lost for days in the Delaware River. He was a welder for a tugboat company and it appears that he accidentally fell into the murky waters while heading out on his lunch break. Rumor has it that Jameer pleaded   more...
