Heat Blow 18-Point Lead, Fall to Bucks

"What started out as a joke has turned out to be a disaster." Sure, I stole that quote from the ill-fated Apollo Creed-Ivan Drago bout in Rocky IV, but Stu Nahan might as well have been describing Wednesday night's Heat-Bucks game.Miami (16-6), buoyed by 24 first-quarter points from LeBron James, stormed out to a 40-23 lead after the opening period and appeared to...

Big Decisions..Should the C's become buyers

What a difference a week makes. All of a sudden the C's are 10-10 and winners of 5 out of their last 6 games. Maybe not so ironically their success has come right after the Danny Ainge comments about his willingness to break the team up. So with momentum on their side is it time to look at keeping this team together and potentially adding a piece or two? The New Orleans Hornets...

With Andrew Bogut Injured (Again), Will Bucks Finally Sign Joel Przybilla?

One of the first images you see when you pull up the report that the Milwaukee Bucks’ center Andrew Bogut is hurt (yes, again) is Bogut’s bloated and fractured left ankle. Hide the wife and kids. It’s not a pretty sight, but it is becoming a reoccurring theme every NBA season for the oft-injured Aussie and the Bucks who have listed Bogut out “indefinitely”. That...

Sorry, Crash

Last year when the Trail Blazers traded for Gerald Wallace, I was not a happy camper. The trade sent one of my all-time favorite blazers, Joel Przybilla, away from Rip City and I felt that the Blazers didn’t get nearly enough in return. I remember telling one of my friends that we gave up a solid center and some other pieces for a guy who could back up at three positions but wouldn’t...

Joel Przybilla, Boston Celtics have had talks

Boston has a desperate need for size. Przybilla, who would be another recently-injured Celtic, fits that need. He also scowls a lot, throws occasional elbows, and could probably pass for Kendrick Perkins if you were entirely color blind and just saw a hulking figure defending Boston’s basket. But the big fella isn’t sure whether he’ll even play this season, with...
