It was a good omen right from the start of this game as Perk won the tip although the first minute was sloppy on both sides with a 24 second violation on each team and a defensive 3 second violation on KG. The Cavs came out strong to begin the game rushing out to an 18-9 lead in the first 8   more...

No question about it, MVP Kobe Bryant is the best shooting guard and the best player in the NBA. He averaged 28.3 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 5.4 APG and 1.5 SPG, while leading his team to clinch the top seed in the West. He's one of the most explosive players in the league, and if you want the ball in   more...

The game began like a nightmare. Boston's offense mimicked the complete lack of flow from game 1. The Cavs were triple-teaming KG on the block, not allowing him any good looks. Not only was Ray Allen missing his field goals, he was missing free-throws as well. Worst of all, the Cavs head coach   more...

...The rest of the Cavs really don't scare me. Of course, they didn't scare anybody last season and they made it to the Finals, so let's not take ANOTHER team for granted. The 'X' factors for the Cavs are, oddly enough, ex-Celtics Delonte West and Wally Szczerbiak. They've been fairly   more...

There a a ton of storylines for tonight's game, but the biggest, and most important, revolves around LeBron James. LeBron nearly had a quadrupal-double tonight, putting up 12-9-9-10... that's 12 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists and 10 turnovers. Oh yeah, he also only made 2 field goals (on 18   more...

Now that the alien that replaced Rajon Rondo in Games 2 and 3 has been banished back to Zuluthx, I think it's time for a healthy dose of calm down.For all the people who said they would rather have Wally than Ray Allen or Delonte over Rondo, that's just madness. And this isn't even Sparta.How   more...

Shame on you if you left the Cleveland Cavaliers for dead after the first two games against the Boston Celtics. LBJ and company completely ripped the momentum away from the C's in Games 3 and 4 in Cleveland, and thanks to 1) perimeter shooting, 2) a solid defensive gameplan, and 3) limited   more...

Good perimeter shooting? Check. Solid defensive gameplan? Check. Limited turnovers? Check. The Cavs did all the right things in Game 3 that they didn't do in the first two games at Boston. The result was a 108-84 blowout win that made it a series again. But it's going to have to continue if the   more...

You usually go entire seasons without ten plays this good. What's your top play here?My top 4:1) Duncan dagger 32) Nash tying 33) Paul's sweet pass4) Lebron's extension alleyoop

Here is a look at the Celtics 2nd round opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is a team that is much different from the very athletic Hawks. They are a team that leans heavily on their superstar but also have other talented players on the team. There is a subplot to this series in that two of the   more...

The Cleveland Cavaliers get Ben Wallace, Joe Smith, Wally Szczerbiak, Delonte West as part of a three-team trade including the Chicago Bulls and Seattle Sonics.

Bruce Bowen is quoted on MySA as saying that he is upset at being thought of as a dirty player. This is in the wake of a suspension for kicking Chris Paul in a recent game. If that was the only incident, he may have a point. However, he has a history of dirty plays and doing things in games that   more...

WaitingForNextYear appears to have had enough with Mike Brown's attempt at that crazy thing called "offense."

A new trade is developing. It looks like this one might actually happen. The trade is Ray Allen to the Celtics for the #5 pick in the draft, Delonte West, and Wally Szczerbiak. I think this trade works out for both sides because Paul Pierce said he wants a trade if Boston can't get another star   more...
