No Dunking…

So months after MJ was inducted into the hall of fame, here are a couple of videos that might have been drowned out of the best moments avalanche of Jordan staples that time.
The first is this classic McDonald’s advertisement with Larry Bird in the 90’s:

One of those one on ones MJ [...]

Last Straws

I’ve been meaning to write about SA’s demise or triumph against NO by now but who would have known? I guess the fact that there still are two final straws to be drawn in the NBA magnifies the level of competition out there right now. While the last slot for the east will be determined [...]

Who’s Got the Ticket for the Last Trip?

As I’m writing this, game 1 of the Detroit-Orlando NBA seminals pairing have already been played and I’m still looking forward to the SA-NO matchup. The other western semifinal matchup between LA and Utah is already scheduled for tomorrow following Houston’s ouster yesterday.
Strangely it’s the Celtics who are still stuck in the first round. That [...]

When Everything’s Said and Done

Yesterday’s NBA result had the Spurs earning the right to move into the semifinals of the western conference. I have been wanting to write about what seemed to be imminent when the team held the lead at 3-0. I know better though as stranger things have happened in that league. Who would have forgotten last [...]

Basketball and a Busy Day

By now any NBA fan should have known the outcome of the classic game between the Spurs and the Suns. Sure the Spurs won but only after a 2 OT’s featuring a game-tying 3 by Finley to force the first extension and another 3 in the first OT by Duncan. (Yup, no typo’s there alright.) [...]

And the World Pool Champion This Year Is…

Daryl Peach.
A lot late an entry here but the tangles I’ve been handling this time of the year left me with little time to squeeze this one through. Anyway there it is. It’s the guy from England who held the trophy in the end by staying in the game long enough to find the final [...]

It’s Time for the NBA Finals

It’s settled then, the Cleveland Cavaliers will face off with the San Antonio Spurs for the NBA Finals. Winner of the ensuing best of 7 claims the championship and becomes the King of the Hill that is the 2006-07 NBA Season.  I must admit that I was pretty much surprised with the entry of the [...]

Out East, Out West

So it all boils down to 4 clubs. Consider them the suits in a deck of cards but in the end there will remain only one team in a playoffs characterized by a list of adjectives without “predictable” in it.
Out West
It’s the San Antonio Spurs and the Utah Jazz remaining with the Spurs enjoying homecourt [...]

Three Ball – II

This time a literal one. That three ball made by Horry with less than a minute to go to take the fight away from the Nuggets and more importantly a 3-1 lead for the Spurs as they take the series back at home where they can finish it all there.
I guess this time it’s safe [...]

Three Ball

Yesterday might as well go as one of the most exciting days in the playoffs ever. Sure I’ve seen exciting playoff days as well but the developments yesterday were definitely of greater significance than any other exciting playoff day I’m aware of. And these don’t involve drastic ejections or suspensions yet.
Nash goes 1 assist short [...]
