I know it has zero to do with the playoffs, but in our endless basketball dialogue over here pointless water cooler arguments come up that need to be settled externally. That’s where you come in.

So who would you rather have as your NBA point guard: Rajon Rondo or Devin Harris?

Mo Williams isn’t the first person to give Dwight Howard and the Magic motivational bulletin board material. On his blog, Dwight insists that the public love affair with Kobe and LeBron has been at the root of Orlando’s recent success. Read More »

Andrew Bynum‘s poopy-pants attitude about his limited playing time and touches earned him a verbal spanking from Phil Jackson earlier in the playoffs. After last night’s loss, Pau Gasol voiced similar concern about his role in the offense. But Pau’s complaint isn’t the same as Bynum’s. And it shouldn’t be met with the same reaction from Phil.

To clarify: Our NBA Fantasy Finals have nothing to do with the stat-driven “fantasy basketball” you play online.

Mo Williams must have spent part of his Memorial Day watching White Men Can’t Jump in his Orlando hotel, ’cause after struggling through the first three games of the Cavs/Magic conference finals (17 ppg, 32% FG), he’s suddenly feelin’ himself an awful lot. Read More »

Chris Andersen, this can be you some day…

To clarify: Our NBA Fantasy Finals have nothing to do with the stat-driven “fantasy basketball” you play online. We’re taking NBA Finals teams throughout history and pitting them against each other to see what you think would happen. Assume both lineups are healthy, and the older team gets homecourt. Today it’s arguably two of the top three power forwards of all-time (and their star-studded teams) going head-to-head … Read More »
