“Heart Transplant”

May 11, 2009

Saturday, I was hurrying home to watch Game Three of the Atlanta- Cleveland series. I was listening to the pre-game on ESPN, when  Jim Durham asked Dr. Jack Ramsey what he thought Atlanta needed to do.  Dr. Jack said, “first of all, they need a heart transplant“.  He went on to say that they had [...]

Round 2: Ejections, Fouls, and Hard Fouls

May 7, 2009

Well, things are getting a little chippy already in the Orlando-Boston series, and the LA-Houston series, and they are only two games into them.  Usually it takes a little more time for players to get sick of each other and have tempers flare.  I think the fact that both of the favorites, Boston and LA, got spanked [...]

The Exportation of Jeremy Tyler

April 30, 2009

Jeremy Tyler, hailed by many as the best big man prospects to come along since Tyson Chandler and Greg Oden, has decided to forgo his senior year to play professionally. Ordinarily this wouldn’t be a big deal. Many collegiate basketball players leave school early to pursue their pro aspirations now-a-days. In fact, of players taken [...]

Paul Pierce, Overrated

April 21, 2009

First, I want to apologize for the lack of posts lately. We have been extremely busy on some other projects and just have not had the time to work on posting our thoughts on what is going on in the basketball world. If you have a chance, check out our Lahaina.com website. It is a [...]

The NCAA champion has been crowned and the NBA regular season is just a few games away from coming to an end.  So, at this time of year I’m always wondering how the upcoming crop of draft candidates will help the prospective teams in the lottery and, perhaps, how a few maybe able to affect [...]

UNC – “One Shining Moment”

April 7, 2009

As we all know, last night the UNC Tarheels won the 2009 NCAA Men’s basketball championship. To many, their win came as no surprise and the Tarheels were hands down the best team in the tournament. From the beginning of the year, even with their slight hiccups, they had the most talent in the nation [...]

Calipari Should Make Sweet Music in the Bluegrass State

April 1, 2009

A seismic shift has just occurred in the world of college basketball. Aftershocks can be felt by every major college basketball program in the country. Faster than DeMarcus Cousins could sign a letter of intent or Xavier Henry could utter the words “open” and “recruitment” in the same sentence and definitely faster than Billy Gillespie [...]

A First for Pat Summit

March 25, 2009

Pat Summit had a new first on Monday. Summit, who earlier this season became the first coach in NCAA men’s or women’s history to record 1,000 career victories, I’m sure would be glad to do without this first. This first is the result of something the all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history doesn’t do [...]

March Madness

March 18, 2009

It snowed in the state of Washington over the weekend. Right now, it is mid-40′s in New York City. LA was even a little cold over the weekend in the lower 60′s. Yet, all I keep hearing is, “I love this time of year!” That’s right, the best time of year is back–March Madness. A [...]

Bill Davidson-A Unique Man

March 14, 2009

Yesterday was a very enjoyable day of watching college basketball, with all the fun and excitement leading into the NCAA tournament.  However, as I was getting ready to go to bed,  I was terribly saddened by the news of the  passing of Bill Davidson, the owner of the Detroit Pistons. It has been well documented the story [...]
