Oklahoma City is back from the dead. No really, the way everyone was talking after the Grizzlies came into the big blue sea and dominated Game 1, you would’ve thought the darlings of the NBA’s second-half were through. They were going home and Memphis was turning the clocks back one more hour on their Cinderella run. Russell Westbrook was out of control, Thunder coach Scottie Brooks was lost and the Thunder weren’t tough enough inside. Read More »
It is 11 p.m. on Saturday night of Halloween weekend, one of the biggest party weekends of the year at Vanderbilt University. People across campus are putting on their costumes getting ready for the night’s festivities, including Vanderbilt men’s basketball manager Rob Cross. However, Rob then gets a text from Steve Tchiengang, power forward on the team, saying “Let’s shoot in 45 minutes.” Most sane people would say not tonight, but Rob is not sane when it comes to basketball. So at 11:45 he trudges over to Memorial Gym in full costume and rebounds for Steve before starting his night. This incident is just one of many that exemplify Rob’s undying commitment to Vanderbilt Basketball. Read More »
I think most Knicks fans would agree that what the team needs more than anything else this summer is a big, shot-blocking presence inside. You can get away with playing Bill Walker and Shawne Williams on the wings because of Carmelo and Amar’e. But the head of an improved defense needs to start inside, and the combination of Ronny Turiaf and Jared Jeffries isn’t getting it done. Read More »

I always thought there was some sort or unspoken code amongst Team Jordan members that you couldn’t do harm to one another. Apparently I was wrong… After the jump, check out D-Wade‘s ridiculous two-step on KG.
We think we should remind everyone: LeBron James and Dwyane Wade play on the same team. They play on the same team. On a night where Boston was playing for more than just a split, they fought the way we knew they would. But it wasn’t enough. You could feel the tension all night. It felt like Boston was teetering on the brink, one run away from a complete breakdown. Wade (28 points, eight rebounds) in the first half and then LeBron (35 points) in the second helped finally end it, James being the catalyst for a huge fourth-quarter run in the Heat’s 102-91 Game 2 win. Tied at 80 midway through the fourth, a Mario Chalmers three-pointer began a 14-0 Miami spurt. While Big Baby was missing layups, LeBron was hitting impossible shots. Boston didn’t score again until it was already over Read More »

Something is happening, and I’m becoming increasingly convinced that it ain’t a facade. It started midseason, then rose further, and then Game 1 in South Beach did nothing but make me nod my head and think: “I was right.”
Remember in the original Scarface when Tony Camonte started as a deputy in the crime world, learning everything he could from his mentor, Johnny Lovo? He was wildly ambitious yes, but he was a fanatical worker, he wasn’t afraid and didn’t care what people thought of him. Lovo was a father figure. He could laugh when Tony went after his woman because you know what? He was just a kid. He didn’t know any better. He wasn’t a threat. Read More »
