The Queen’s Big Moment
The first round of the NBA playoffs were as fun and entertaining of a first round as we have seen since the 90's. Besides obliterating the college ball is better than pros silliness, the NBA has it's biggest stars performing at a superstar level. The 2nd round is upon us, and all eyes are on one particular superstar whose image and [...]
On To The Next One
Now, that's the Bulls team that won 62 games in the regular season. I had almost forgotten what that team looked like. You know the one I'm talking about. Stout defense, great rebounding, guys actually making shots, D Rose cutting the head off of another team who thinks they have one last run in them, and getting virtually nothing from the $75 [...]
The Hawks Will Be Back
You know you care about a team when your heart is pounding like Henry Hill's at the end of Goodfellas. You know you care about a team when you stare at the tv for a good 3 minutes after Chris Campoli channeled his inner Cub. How could it end this way? How could the defending champs lose after Jonathan Toews miraculously tied the game at 1 with [...]
The Champs Won’t Die
I love the mentally weak, what can I say? I love seeing teams and players self destruct and succumb to the pressure of the moment. The '90 & '92 Portland Trail Blazers fit this description. The '00 Blazers do as well for choking away a 15 point 4th quarter lead to the Lakers in game 7 of the Western Conference Finals. Perhaps my favorite [...]
What A F-ing Night
It started last week. My nerves are basically shattered, my stress level is beyond a guy who is about to walk down the aisle and have his life end. Basically, I feel like how Jeff Foster looks playing the game of basketball. I am not a pretty site. My uncle Lou(Big Lou) and I have said "I'm not going to make it" to each other at least 48 [...]
Screw The Mother Canuckers
I found myself in full Chicago meatball mode before game 4 of the Hawks-Canuckers game. After seeing the skilled Canucks beat the Hawks to loose pucks, winning many of the battles on the boards, score virtually whenever they wanted, and seeing their stars outplay the Hawks' stars, I was convinced the Hawks would start fast, and eventually blow [...]
2 Days Of Heaven
You know you are enjoying yourself when two days go by so fast that you have a hard time remembering everything. For me, watching the opening games of the NBA playoffs was like a highly anticipated party, date, or game that you have been patiently waiting for. I live for this time of year, and the best athletes in the world didn't disappoint. [...]
Memo To Danny Granger
A part of me admires you, Danny Granger. You have balls, and that impresses the hell out of me. However, that doesn't mean you are smart. Much like Spider told Tommy D to go fuck himself in Goodfellas, you are happy that your Pacers are facing the 62 win Bulls and not the up and down Celtics. Yes, the same Celtics whose he/she point guard is [...]
The NBA’s Biggest Bitches
As much as I love the NBA, there are certain aspects of it that piss me off. No, I'm not talking about Stuart Scott's annoying ass being the voice of the NBA on ABC & the Boo-Yaa Network. I am also not talking about the shady(to put it nicely) officiating that goes on every night. And no, I am not talking about Vinny Del Negro's coaching. [...]
Time To Make Luongo Cry…Again
I never have been so excited about a Minnesota Wild victory. Shit, I barely even knew they had a team. They do, and the defending Stanley Cup champions better be grateful. That Wild team, who had lost 5 of 6 at home, saved the Blackhawks asses. No, I didn't bother watching the Stars/Wild game because I was too busy enjoying Coming To [...]
