Chris Bosh Miami’s MVP

Published on May 16, 2012 by in NBA

Everybody stopped talking about Bosh last year when he was working Carlos Boozer in that Bulls series

 

It would be too easy to do a blog post on Lebron and the two missed free throws last night because honestly there were many factors to why the Heat lost that game. However, because of Lebron’s past he will take all the Heat (excuse the pun).  Nobody is talking about Wade’s missed free throws and the shot that he missed. The bench was non-existent for the Heat yet again but they haven’t been held accountable for much all season so I’ll let ESPN steer your thoughts on how Lebron is why the Heat lost. The guys from south beach stand a very real chance of losing this series and the loss of Chris Bosh may hurt more than you might believe.  (more…)

Let Westbrook Cook – Lakers Get Thunder’d (Video)

Published on May 15, 2012 by in NBA

Last night Russell Westbrook was cooking like he was a hibachi ( no disrespect to agent zero). Westbrook had  27 points and 9 assist in about 3 quarters of work exposing the Lakers for their inability to handle a dominate point guard. Basically in a nutshell here is what happened in Oklahoma City last night:

The Thunder did whatever they wanted. That’s all

The Thunder were coming off 9 days rest and already come into this series with a huge chip on their shoulder from when the Lakers knocked them out the playoffs. This team has individual vendettas and you can say that they have a genuine hate for these Lakers. Think about it like this.

Harden got bowed by Metta Word “two piece” (no biscuit)

Perkins hates everyone but especially the Lakers

Derek Fisher got pushed out of town by a guy that was supposed to be “the solution” at point guard. You got to know he feels good that Sessions had only 2 points last night.

The Lakers obviously have issues containing point guards and not that they can afford to look ahead but the point guards left in the West are Russell Westbrook, Tony Parker and Chris Paul. Yea, good luck with that. Laker fans have to worry about something more concerning and that is this teams constant ability to flip the off switch. How many times is Kobe going to have to call out his teammates for being outworked? This team isn’t good enough to flip a “on” switch and they better realize that before they get sent home fishing.

Hawks Joe Johnson – The Gift & The Curse

Published on May 14, 2012 by in NBA

Joe Johnson helped turned this Hawks franchise around .. but is his time up?

 

The Atlanta Hawks are one of the NBA great anaomly’s. This year they found themselves in familiar territory as they got bounced in the first round by a youthful KG and the Boston Celtics. The team has taken many journeys from the days when Dominique and Bird used to go at it. You had the Dikembe and Steve Smith era, followed by the Abdur-Raheem and Jason Terry era and nobody will ever forget the 04-05 season when Antoine Walker led this team to 13 victories.

For the season.

After that season the Hawks had to make a free agent splash and needed someone to be the cornerstone of their franchise. Who would join the lineage of Hawks all-stars like Nique, Dikembe, and  Steve Smith. Insert the introvert guard from Phoenix Joe Johnson.

That is where this story begins.

Kevin Garnett Has the Juice

Published on May 11, 2012 by in NBA

KG put in work during game 7 ...

Is there anything to that whole “Bulletin Board Material thing” 

If you look at the series between the Celtics and Hawks as well as the Lakers / Nuggets you have to begin to scratch your temple. I’m one to believe that athletes who are paid to play don’t have a “go harder” switch they turn on during the games. I’ve always believed that you give it your all 100% of the time.

Maybe I’m wrong.

Knicks: New State of Mind Needed?

Published on May 10, 2012 by in NBA

Can these two coexist in Gotham City?

Knicks fans it’s time for you to take a sip of a cup filled with reality. It’s time to get real about the Knicks and your future but it’s not all bad news. You had a good run and gave the Heat a good fight but deep down in your heart of hearts you knew you weren’t going to win that series. Admit it you knew this was coming.

New York is the so called mecca of basketball but this team hasn’t won a championship since 1973, that’s 39 years for all you mathematically challenged folks out there. Well the reality is that the Knicks are now at a crossroads and this will be a very important off season.

Knicks fans take off your rose colored glasses and lets take a look at this team realistically.  (more…)

Let Lebron Cook: James Send Knicks Fishing (Video)

Published on May 10, 2012 by in NBA

"Enjoy your summer" - signed Lebron

Lebron James and the Heat advance the 2nd round with only a Dwayne Wade fall away 3 pointer as their only blemish. Yes they probably should have swept this Knicks team but it’s hard to win 4 games in a row against any NBA team. For the series Lebron put up 27, 5 and 6 but it was the 29 points 8 boards and 7 dimes that sent the Knicks faithful home fishing.

Enjoy the highlights of baby Bron Bron doing his thing…

Josh Hamilton Hits 4 Homers in One Night (Video)

Published on May 9, 2012 by in MLB

Not 1 Not 2 Not 3 but 4.

That noise that you heard .. that is the echo of Josh Hamilton’s bat in Baltimore. Hamilton went deep 4 times last night in Baltimore forcing the Orioles crowd to give him a standing ovation. .. Can you blame them though. Game recognize game and you have to give it up for Mr. Hamilton. When asked about Hamilton’s big night, Rangers manager Ron Washington said:

   ” Well I’m his manager, I told him to go out and put on a show and he certainly did.”  

Well said Uncle Ron. Hamilton becomes the 16th player in MLB history to accomplish the feat. Here is the video of Hamilton’s 4 bombs.

NBA Power Rankings (Playoff Edition)

Published on May 9, 2012 by in NBA

Thunder knocked off the juice now they have the juice

 

Bloggers love rankings and list because they spark to debate and they are easy to put together. Sue us. Several teams had a chance to close to teams out last night and the only team that was successful were the Pacers. Ironically they didn’t make our list. This will change of course from round to round and the closer we get to the finals we will change it up a little bit to keep it fresh. Let’s take a look at the playoff landscape. As always give us your top 5 in our comments section.  (more…)
