If you were pulling for the Sixers to at least make last night’s Game Six interesting, you didn’t want to get an e-mail like the one Jed sent out amongst the Dime crew during the first quarter, the one that read: “I’m not sure if Philly is going to score in this […]

Of all the Chris Paul vs. Deron Williams head-to-heads we have seen and will see over the years, last night’s won’t exactly go down in history. The Jazz got the win — which has kind of been the norm in the series so far — clinching the Northwest Division and proving […]

We absolutely wouldn’t mind watching Phoenix and San Antonio go another seven games with a trip to the ‘08 Finals on the line.

See what happens when you hit your threes? Facing what was going to be their first big challenge (well, their second actually, since Brazil was supposed to be tough) of the FIBA Americas tournament, Team USA came out hot from beyond the arc against Argentina, jumped out to a big lead and never […]

Year after year, series after series, the Spurs keep getting it done in the same fashion. Take last night’s Game 1 win: it might as well have been a replay of game film from the ‘05 title team or the ‘03 squad. All the preparation Cleveland undoubtedly did, and Tim Duncan (24 pts, 13 rebs, […]
