Lakers 96 Atlanta 83 or where I waste 2 hours of my normal sleeping pattern
Box Score Game Recap Repeat after me: The Hawks were not suppose to win that game. The Hawks were not suppose to win that game. The Hawks were not suppose to win that game. I feel better already. A little reality check in the system is a good thing. Ok lets get to what the players had to...
2008 Olympic Basketball Day Three: Inside the Box Score
Spain/Germany: Unlike the US the Spanish have messed around with their starting 5 to so far. This was evident in their opener when Marc Gasol got the nod over his older brother and yesterday when Jose Calderon came off the bench. In this one the Spanish were determined to not let Dirk Nowitzki...
2008 Olympic Basketball Day Two: Inside the Box Score
For an explanation of the "Inside the Box Score" posts go here. Lithuania/Iran: I watched the majority of this one and was struck by 2 things: 1. It reminded me of USA/China in the sense that the Iranians kept it close through one quarter and then got blown out from that point on, particularly in...

Assorted Thoughts on the 2008 NBA Playoffs
The Guy I Underrated the Most Prior to the PlayoffsHonorable Mention - Rip Hamilton. Man he's an assassin. On top of that he cared throughout the Celtics series, which did not appear to be the case for some of his teammates. Now on to the winner. Even after he made the All Star team and dropped 37...
Assorted Kobe Thoughts
This night is about the Celtics. It will be a long time before I get over the 131 points they dropped on the Lakers. Still I'd like to touch on a few Kobe Bryant related points. Like it or not he's a massive figure in the NBA. - I found this post comparing Kobe Bryant to Dirk Nowitzki interesting....
Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Game 6 - Open Game Thread
Before I go any further I'd be remiss if I did not bring up the whole Jemele Hill thing. She wrote an article (this is the edited one) in which she compared rooting for the Celtics to something to do with Hitler. Odd. The guys at Red's Army were all over it. Of course ESPN eventually apologized and...
Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Game 5 - Recap
As I was watching Game 5 it hit me how annoyed I would be if I were a Lakers fan. The announcers, Jeff Van Gundy in particular, praised James Posey, Boston's defense and the Celtics in general. It was the story line that played throughout the game, while the Lakers still maintained control. And...
More From Celtics/Lakers Game 4
Ray Allen's reverse lay up was ridiculous. To review. He blew by a rotating Kobe Bryant, jumped, avoided Pau Gasol's block attempt, which was a lot more of an attempt than his game 2 wave at Leon Powe and his later wave at Allen in game 4, started falling, and somehow threw squeezed a shot off...
