Checking in on the Atlantic Division

Posted on 07 January 2008 by masterjuddi

In the off-season the Atlantic Division was the busiest Division in the NBA for free agents signings and trades. Boston added all-stars Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen; New York adds Zack Randolph; Philadelphia started the season without Allen Iverson for the first time in eleven years; New Jersey added Canadian Jamaal Magloire to play alongside the Kidd, Carter and Jefferson; Toronto said goodbye to fan favorite Morris Peterson and said hello to Jason Kapono, Carlos Delfino and Jamario Moon. Here is a quick report card on the Atlantic Division teams. Continue Reading

Posted on 26 September 2007 by masterjuddi

Two high profile players have demanded trades recently. Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko and Phoenix Sun forward Shaun Marion are both aren’t happy with their current situations. Kirilenko is unhappy with Coach Jerry Sloan and Marion is upset with Suns management regarding trade talks and contract extentions. So where could these highly talented ballers end up? Here are a few scenarios I drummed up. Continue Reading

It Was Fun While it Lasted…

Posted on 31 July 2007 by Raps Fan

…The Raptors being the Atlantic champions that is. The Wolves and Celtics finally agreed to a trade that gutted the Celtics bench (Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Gerald Green, Ryan Gomes and Sebastian Telfair) in return for the 10 time all-star Kevin Garnett. With Ainge’s earlier trade landing Ray Allen, there was definitely a push to win now. With The Garnett move, the Celtics move into the Eastern Conference Elite with an All-Star trio of Pierce, Allen and Garnett. Continue Reading

Nelson’s Revenge

Posted on 04 May 2007 by Raps Fan

This is one of those games I wish I was at. People say the COY was a farce, well what about MVP? Just because Nash won it twice in a row, didn’t mean he didn’t deserve it this year (I would have voted for Nash if I had a vote to cast). Looks like Dwayne Wade was bang on in his rebuttal to Dirk Nowitzki about last years final. Screw Cuban…I BELIEVE!! Continue Reading

The Wild Wild West

Posted on 23 April 2007 by Raps Fan

What a night! The Warriors made the Mavs look ordinary. The look on Cubans face the whole game was priceless. He looked like he was going to jump into the bench, and start cutting cheques to motivate the rest of the team. Nelson was masterful in his strategy. Like watching a well played game of risk…total domination. Avery had no answers. Forget the Suns, guess what the next cool thing will be? Small ball a la the Warriors. Continue Reading

No respect from ESPN.

Some thought’s during a pre-season game.

Posted on 11 October 2006 by Raps Fan

As Bosh dunks the Raptors to within one point (42-41 for Boston), I sit here and ask myself, “why the hell am I watching this game?” Pre-season sports, much like women’s tennis, sucks. No one is competing, no one show’s heart, nothing is going on, but I digress… Continue Reading
