September 24, 2010 – Kevin Burke Phil Jackson may very well be the luckiest coach in the history of sports. He was fortunate enough to inherit Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen when he coached the Bulls en route to six NBA Championships in an eight year stretch. That good fortune continued when he relocated to [...]

September 14, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Truth in newspaper advertising for once… The Minnesota Timberwolves are nothing if not honest. The team took out a full-page ad in Monday’s Star Tribune sports section, featuring a long open letter to fans that acknowledges the negatives, points to the positives, and spells out the plan for [...]

July 7, 2010 – R.S. De France By now you’ve all read Cavaliers Owner Dan Gilbert’s comments in the wake of LeBron James’ “decision.” If you missed it, please read “Open Letter to Fans from Cavaliers Majority Owner Dan Gilbert.”  It’s great stuff…in the sense that Shaquille O’Neal’s rap in which he asked Kobe Bryant [...]

July 14, 2010 – R.S. De France Since the addition of LeBron James to a core of Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, Vegas odds have the Heat as favorites to win it all in 2011.  And why not?  This is a team of which much is expected.  These are not players who are new to [...]

November 2, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious The Houston Rockets are legitimate title contenders! Okay, okay, okay, I realize it has only been 2 games into this new NBA season, but someone look me right in the eye and tell me the Rockets don’t look sharp on both ends of the floor. The funny thing is [...]

October 29, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious Last night’s Boston Celtics Championship Ring Ceremony was pretty special. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as Paul Pierce the Finals MVP for the Celtics accepted his ring and the Larry O’Brien trophy. For those of you who were tied up and couldn’t catch the ceremony or [...]

September 16, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap How fierce and intense is the face of Kevin Garnett in the heat of battle? The guy is borderline scary to even watch, regardless of the fact that i’m sitting in the comfort and safety of my own home watching him through the TV. Last season was a dream [...]
