Talk about an East Coast bias; yesterday the New York City airwaves were devoid of the Lakers/Nuggets game until about midway through the fourth quarter, with every major network pre-empting their regular programming to show the Pope conducting a mass at Yankee Stadium. It was understandable — after all, there are more Catholics […]

Big Game James
History lesson for some, trip down memory lane for others. We don’t have to tell you how good James Worthy was. And how many people can not only say they played with Jordan, Magic and Kareem, but also say they made those guys better ballplayers? Another question: Is there anyone in the League today who […]

Ironman Award
At All-Star Thursday’s Alonzo Mourning/Magic Johnson 8-Ball Challenge, Charles Oakley confessed that he’s hoping to set up a made-for-TV reality toughness competition among 10 pro athletes.
“He said he wants to do a reality show that would feature 10 current and former athletes vying to prove their toughness, with the winner getting a fight with […]

* LeBron was simply incredible within the last three minutes last night, single-handedly bull-rushing the Cavs back from a 14-point deficit to beat Portland 84-83 at home. ‘’I do what I do,’’ James said. ‘’I prepare myself to be the best player on the floor every night no matter what building I’m in. My teammates […]

Up at 8 a.m. to watch Cavs/Magic from China, and we didn’t learn anything that we didn’t already know: Dwight Howard (31 pts, 14 rebs) is going to have a monster season, Tony Battie’s season-ending injury hurts Orlando more than you’d imagine, and the Cavs aren’t good at all when LeBron isn’t on […]

Heat it Up / Eat him up
At some point during the second half, when it looked like the Cavs might actually steal Game 1 in Detroit, someone — probably a fan, maybe a coach, definitely not a teammate — yelled out “Come on, Chauncey! Heat it up!” Or maybe it was “Eat him up!” Either way, C-Billups proceeded to live up […]

Common Sense
There are plenty of reasons why Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley are Hall of Famers, and common sense is one of them. (OK, so Magic wasn’t the best coach in the world, but forget about that for a sec.) In all the analysis and over-analysis we saw regarding Sunday’s playoff games, Chuck and Buck made […]

Hard Knock Life
That sound you heard last night was the entire Cleveland Cavaliers fan base and a select group of big-money companies having a collective heart attack when LeBron James got undercut trying to block a Josh Howard shot and smacked the back of his head on the hardwood during Cavs/Mavs. LeBron was down for a minute, […]

The Dime crew is in Vegas for the rest of the week and this weekend, and if yesterday was any indication, this All-Star Weekend is gonna be bananas. Two of our guys began the day stuck in NYC’s Kennedy Airport for seven hours waiting for their plane. During that time […]
