Midseason Report…..
January 27th, 2007 by egoldwein
Well, the NBA has used two different balls this year, Bush’s guest at the State of the Union Address is starting at center for the 26-16 Rockets, Iverson isn’t leading his team in scoring, Memphis already has as many losses as they did last year, the Atlantic Division leader is under .500, last season’s champions are 4 games under .500, a guy named Roy is gonna win the ROY (rookie of the year) award, Milwaukee’s best active player is just 5-feet 5-inches, the MVP is Canadian, Ron Artest is behaving, the East’s leading scorer screams “Hibachi” whenever he shoots, the all-star game will be played in a city that doesn’t even have a team, the best player on the Knicks doesn’t even start, the Bulls leading scorer has been coming off the bench, Eric Snow does start, a point-guard leads the Nets in rebounding, number 8 no longer leads the Lakers in scoring, Chris Webber is back in Michigan, Larry Brown is back with the Sixers, and Sixers fans are disappointed whenever they come up with a win. It’s been a hell of a year so far, and here are some observations, followed by mid-season awards and predictions. « Read the rest of this entry »

PAU!
January 24th, 2007 by Charles Baron
What is this guy thinking?
Those of you up to date with the NBA and its rumors know that he has recently made a request to be traded. Now, I understood when Allen Iverson asked to be traded why he did. He had been on the same team for 10 years, and had had no star players to play with during his entire tenure with the Sixers. Not only that, the team was looking awful, playing awful, and looked destined for another year in the lottery, despite The Answer’s best efforts, and his 30 ppg. This was a guy who had played his heart out, and was being rewarded with Kevin Ollie starting at PG? I think we can all agree that that’s just not right. « Read the rest of this entry »

What is “IT”?
January 22nd, 2007 by egoldwein
What is it?
For Chris Webber, it was a timeout. For Ron Artest, it was a brawl. For Christian Laettner, it was a miraculous buzzer beater. For Vinatieri, it was a game winning field-goal in the snow against Oakland. For G-baby in Hardball, it was his game-winning hit. And for Peyton Manning it was his…Well, he just didn’t have it-until yesterday. Any player who is anything to anyone has had it, and for Peyton Manning, it has finally arrived. « Read the rest of this entry »

I’m Sorry Ms. Jackson
January 18th, 2007 by Charles Baron
I’m sorry Ms. Jackson, but your son will be moving on. If you haven’t heard, the Golden State Warriors and Indiana Pacers agreed to a trade on Wednesday sending Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, Sarunas Jasikevicius and Josh Powell to Golden State in return for Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Ike Diogu, and Keith McLeod. Aside from ending the glorious Stephen Jackson era in Indiana, there are many other reasons for the Pacers to do this deal. Let’s start with the obvious: Keith McLeod (okay, enough messing around). Troy “Murph-Dawg” Murphy fills a hole for the Pacers, as they need another big man who can score, because Jeff Foster and his 4.8 ppg average are not cutting it. The Pacers can shift Jermaine O’Neal over to center, and put Murphy at power forward without losing much rebounding, while getting a significant boost at the offensive end. In addition to Murphy, the Pacers get Mike Dunleavy, a solid small forward who will bore you to death, but get the job done. Both Dunleavy and Murphy stand to get starters minutes and increased roles with their new team, with McLeod likely to man his normal position on the bench.

Playoffs?! We’re talking about playoffs?!

Playoffs?! We’re talking about playoffs?!
After watching this weekend’s edition of the playoffs, I now fully understand that no matter how much you dissect each game, predictions mean nothing. Who would have thought Tom Brady would throw 3 interceptions and the Patriots would still beat the Chargers at home? Or that the Colts would only score field goals and win because their defense held the Ravens? Or even that the Seahawks would take the Bears into overtime? You can’t script these things. You just can’t. It was a great weekend of football, and each game could have gone either way. Three games were decided by a last second field goal, while the Ravens lost a close game as well. Here are some thoughts on each of last weekend’s games. « Read the rest of this entry »

91 and counting……
January 15th, 2007 by egoldwein
Just another day in the life of a Philadelphia sports fan. Yup, that’s 91 straight seasons without a championship in Philadelphia. And you might as well add 2 because the Flyers and Sixers aren’t going to win anything this season. Probability says we should have had three championships in the past 24 years. Instead, we have none. Once again, the Eagles lose in a heartbreaker, and here are some of my complaints: « Read the rest of this entry »

The Perfect Picks
January 13th, 2007 by bkaminsky
Patriots at Chargers
I know, I know. The Patriots have the QB advantage and the coach advantage against a coach who is 5-12 in his playoff career and a QB who hasn’t even taken the field in the playoffs. Yes, Belichick and Brady are 11-1 in their playoff performances and have produced three shiny rings. « Read the rest of this entry »

Get The King Some Help!
January 13th, 2007 by egoldwein
Ok, so I’m sitting down at 10:30 last night, hyped up for the late night TNT game. Cavs at Suns, Lebron vs. Nash, can you get any better than that? That is like taking chocolate and vanilla and putting them together. I guess you could take that comment the wrong way… « Read the rest of this entry »
