Finals

November 10, 2010 – Joshua Sexton As a lifelong basketball fan, there have been many times I have been asked the question: what records will never be broken? There are a few obvious answers when this question arises: the 95-96 Bulls going 72-10, Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 point game, and the Lakers’ 33 game winning streak. [...]

September 12, 2010 – Dr. Dime We’ve all heard that ‘Defense Wins Championships’ a million times over. Well today the Americans proved once again the validity of that statement by locking down Turkey in the FIBA World Championship Finals. Team USA for the first time since 1994 are your World Champions! Team USA came out [...]

September 11, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Kevin Durant is unlike most of America’s biggest basketball stars. He couldn’t wait to wear the red, white and blue this summer. Especially on Sept. 11. With a special memorial message on his sneakers, Durant carried the United States into the gold-medal game at the world championship, scoring [...]

January 23, 2009 – Dr. J-Water Ever since Dwight Howard was drafted first overall by the Orlando Magic the comparisons to Shaquille O’Neal began (Shaq also drafted 1st Overall by the Magic). Howard has long been considered the next great ‘Big Man’ to enter the NBA, and many feel that given the changes in style [...]

June 18th, 2008 – Dr. J-Water Coming in to this game most of the discussions I heard regarding the game were about Kobe Bryant. Will he be able to extend the series for the Lakers? Will a win or loss affect his legacy in the NBA? Will Kobe be a passer, or will Kobe be [...]

June 16th, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious Well it wasn’t pretty now was it? But a win is still a win, and the season is still alive for the Lakers. Unfortunately for Lakers fans all of those questions regarding Kobe Bryant’s offensive performance thus far in this series have still not been answered. He did improve [...]

June 15th, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap Tonight is the night, Kobe. This is the single biggest game in your career. You always tell us you live for these moments, well now it’s time to live up to the hype. Can Kobe Bryant perform when his team needs him most? So far this series Kobe Bryant [...]

June 12th, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap If someone told me this morning that the Los Angeles Lakers would be up by as many as 24 on the Boston Celtics in the first half of Game 4, I would laugh and say “quit playin”! If they then added to that statement that Kobe Bryant at half [...]

June 12, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious If any of you caught Wednesday night’s game, you would have seen something you’ve seen all year long, but didn’t see in Game 1 or 2 of this series. For one, you had good old Jack sitting in his usual courtside seats cheering away. Second, you saw the fans [...]

  June 10th, 2008 – Dr. Dime Kobe Bryant and company need to attack the rim more. Check. Kobe came out to start this game with one intention in mind. Go hard to the rim, using his athleticism, and absolutely punish the opposition. And it worked. Kobe closed the game with 18 free throw attempts, [...]
