Doc Rivers credits his Staff

After the miraculous game 4 comeback, it looks as if the Boston Celtics will be crowned the NBA champions. In a time of egos and arrogance of players and coaches, I have to commend Doc Rivers on his humbleness. Rivers could easily accept all the praise from the media, but he has chosen to give [...]

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 [...]

June 6, 2008

Watching Game 1 of the Finals last night, I started reflecting on how different the NBA is today from the way the NBA was back in the 80′s.  And I’m not just talking about players, and the play on the court.  I guess it started with all the talk about the renewal of the NBA’s most storied rivalry, [...]

Random Thoughts from Game 1

June 5, 2008

NBA Dry Spell

June 2, 2008

The last conference final was played on Friday (May 30th),  when the Celtics clinched and set up a much anticipated Lakers-Celtics final.  However, the first Finals game will not begin until this Thursday (June 5th), 6 days later (7 for the Lakers).  Is this too long? Of course, the NBA has to cater to the [...]
