So the Lakers dominated in game one and came away with a 13-point victory at home, only points off my prediction of seven. Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant were both spectacular as the Lakers role players did their thing to contribute to a blowout in the opener. We learned in game on that Gasol isn’t the softie that he was in [...]

After a long lay-off from watching basketball (nearly two months w/o viewing a full game) I figured that the NBA Finals will be a good return to action and bring back WIGAW in the process. So here is my take on game one in LA. The big plot of this series will be the rivalry [...]

I really did plan on skipping the NBA Finals this year. I was convinced that this was Orlando’s year. I had already made June travel plans to Orlando. I was weighing whether or not I should skip work in order to see the parade. In my mind, the games were just a formality. We all [...]

The title doesn’t get much more blunt than that. I was planning on taking a week’s vacation from Summer and Main but this issue ruffled my feathers a bit. For the last several seasons I’ve watched Dwight Howard get slammed by every post player in the NBA. The refs let it go, because Howard’s athletic ability [...]

Let’s be honest, when the Cleveland LeBrons went down to the Celtics in the second round of the ’10 NBA Playoffs, David Stern zoned in on a Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals. Stern loves the big market teams facing off in the Finals and was hoping that Orlando didn’t take down the Celtics for the second year in a row [...]

I really wish I wasn’t writing this, but I’m not in a good place today. Orlando’s loss to the Celtics last night was one of the roughest I’ve ever experienced. The game put me in a funk that I haven’t snapped out of yet. The Celtics controlled 85% of the game last night. By the [...]

You could probably make this relation to any league, but I view the history of the NBA in eras. In the 80′s we had the Magic/Bird era which was ended by the Detroit Bad Boys. That era was obviously followed by the Michael Jordan era (1991-Summer of 1998). That was killed by the implosion of [...]

There are some moments in life where everyone remembers where they were when it happened. 9/11 is the event that defines that statement, but it’s also true for Obama’s election night, Hurricane Katrina, and the Princess Diana’s death. For me, a lot of those moments relate to the sports world. I remember exactly where I [...]

While watching the Celtics-Cavs bloodbath in the second quarter I was informed by the Worldwide Leader that today is a historic day in NBA history. It is connected by Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller, Allen Iverson and Dikembe Mutombo. On this day in 1991, Jordan became Jordan with his clutch shot over Craig Elo to move the [...]

So as I was watching my share of NBA Playoffs over the weekend and past week I realized two things; I had watched more NBA during the Playoffs then I had all season long and that I need to find better things to do than watch the NBA Playoffs. Other than that great epiphany I [...]
