Poll Results: Our Mature NBA Fans

I’ve got to give it up to you all for taking the high road on our most recent poll! We asked the question, “Who gets the blame for the Lakers loss to the Celtics?” We gave you some random, out of the blue choices that heavily leaned towards the Lakers and then gave you one [...]

10 Reasons: Kevin Garnett Pounds the Hell out of Himself

I’m sure you’ve all noticed that Kevin Garnett continually pounds the hell out of his chest after a big play, momentum swing, or to just get his team jacked up and frankly, it’s obnoxious as hell. The chest pound usually includes puckered lips and his signature evil eyes which of course makes it that much [...]

NBA Season Over, What Now?

The season has wrapped, the draft is just around the corner, and we are entering our first off season as NBA bloggers! This should be interesting enough but I’m hoping we’ll have more fun with our writing like we did in the early stages that gave us the motivation to want to keep doing this. [...]

He went off on some crazy rant, looked at the camera with evil eyes, told Michelle she “looked great” and then screamed really loud [...]

The NBA Finals…Flickr’d

To Make The Leap: an Ode to Game 5

The final horn had sounded,The players all embraced,The crowd was going wildFor the foe had been displaced.But the trophy was not won this day,The champion not crowned.For the Los Angeles LakersDid not give up their ground.
