Lakers Roster Needs Tweaking

November 15, 2008

I attended the Lakers-Pistons game last night and wanted to write a recap on the game.  However, the game can be summed up in one sentence.  Kobe did not decide to show up until there were 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter and by then a few missed shots made it far too late [...]

Where is the Capital of College Basketball?

November 7, 2008

I started looking through my calendar today, trying to line up some games to go to this season.  First I had a look at the Lakers schedule, but then realized Kobe’s contract hadn’t expired yet and quickly moved on to College basketball. I started with UCLA.  I input all of their games into the calendar.  [...]

Luke Walton Discusses the Benefits of Brothers in Basketball

October 30, 2008

I really enjoyed Luke’s NBA.com blog this weekend. He talks about growing up with brothers and it really brings back a lot of good memories. You know: stitches, broken bones, fighting…ah, what a lovely time.  I had the benefit of playing college ball with Luke’s brother, Nate (the brain).  Nate was a great college player, [...]

Ever Seen a Green Basketball?

September 6, 2008

Neither have I.  However, I do love when interests of mine collide, especially for the better. In an environmentally-friendly maneuver, Steve Nash convinced the Phoenix Suns to use Solar power to help keep the lights on in the US Airways Center.  Steve Nash should be cheered for the effort and is a great model to [...]

Farmar going on Peace Mission

July 19, 2008

How are NBA players spending their summers? Sure, some the younger ones are participating in summer leagues and getting better to make their stamp on the league. Some of the veterans are working out and relaxing with friends. But, one, in particular, is doing something truly special.

The History Of Guard Play

June 23, 2008

This is a little bit of a down time in basketball as we wait for the NBA Draft, the big AAU tournaments to start, the Olympics to start, and the college recruiting scene to heat up.  I thought I’d go back and take a look at some of the changes that occurred in basketball through [...]

Random Thoughts Game 5

June 15, 2008

Back by popular demand, I have compiled a list of random thoughts that I had during game 5 of the NBA Finals. Dick Bavetta is doing the game. Interesting. We will see how the calls go. I wonder if the FBI is at the game. Pierce has started out slowly.  He has a turnover on a [...]

The Sports Guy on the Lakers/Celtics Myths

June 15, 2008

The Sports Guy, Bill Simmons, may be the ultimate Boston fan.  Over the years, I have learned two things about Boston fans.  They love to argue and they will go to extremes to win that argument. By extremes, I mean making points with a lot of footnotes (some people would call them excuses).  Bill Simmons [...]

Names from Game 3

June 11, 2008

Yes, the game was great.  Came right down to the end.  But as much excitement came from who we saw. Sat 10th row across from the Lakers bench.  These are what I like to call scouting seats.  Great for seeing the court.  When George was with the Pacers, he sat 7th row, behind the Pacers bench.  High enough to [...]
