This is the consistency, or lack thereof, that I have been pining/talking about all season. How is it that you walk onto the Spurs home court, a place so hostile I don’t think we have ever won in, and take a game from the defending champs; then casually stroll onto the less hostile Rockets home court, where they are missing their best (arguably) player in McGrady, and lose a game to a team you already beat this season?

The Toronto Raptors (15-14) are 1-3 on their currently seven game road trip but they’ll be in tough when they visit the defending NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs (20-7). The Raptors will attempt to avoid dropping to the .500 mark, but it won’t be easy against the Spurs who have won six straight at home against Toronto. Continue Reading

When you think basketball, you think Hip Hop, beer, pizza, wings, annoying Knicks fans…who the heir apparent to Jordan will be. You never think of overpriced coffee and cakes. This may be a stretch, but is it possible that Chuck Swirsky is sponsored by Starbucks? Think about it, how many times have you heard him preach the praises of some Starbucks product; most recently todays post which mentions some sort of lemon green tea beverage. I really don’t have a problem with this, hell, I would start dropping names on the regular if someone decided to pay me for my words. I just felt it necessary to spill the beans. I don’t like people thinking they are getting away with something. Continue Reading

I had a bad feeling while I was asleep last night. I continually woke up, and walked around the house, had some snacks, watched some TV, played with Yoshi (my dog). I woke up this morning, and Yoshi was gnawing on a Raptors scarf I have. It was a give-a-way I got at one of the games a few years ago, and I have no idea how he found it, but there he was, chewing the hell out of it. Continue Reading

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
