Kidd Hire Good Gamble for Nets
I’ll be honest with you all about something. I did not like the Jason Kidd hire at first blush. I thought it was foolish for the Brooklyn Nets to hire a former player who had NO coaching experience on ANY level – let alone one who just retired from a rival team (my New York […]
2013 NBA Finals Preview
The 2013 NBA Finals is such a fitting end to what was an outstanding 2012-2013 regular season. The Miami Heat was on the cusp of giving us a record-setting winning streak of the ages at 27 games (by the way, this was proof-positive that the 1971-1972 Los Angeles Lakers’ winning streak of 33 games will […]
Hibbert’s Comment More Juvenile than Offensive
Roy Hibbert said something regrettable last night. During the post-game press conference, he uttered the phrase “No Homo” when describing his contact with LeBron James. In fact, here is exactly what Hibbert said: “There was Game 3 here that I felt I let Paul (George) down in terms of having his back when LeBron was […]
MJ Doing the Right Thing in Bringing the “Hornets” Back to Charlotte
Michael Jordan finally got something right for a change. Jordan announced that the Charlotte franchise will be known as the Charlotte Hornets starting with the 2014-2015 NBA season. The process will take about a year’s time due to re-branding, the re-acquisition of digital rights, buying the name back from the NBA, and so on. This […]
2013 NBA Conference Finals Preview
Eastern Conference #1 Miami Heat vs. #3 Indiana Pacers Analysis: This will be a much tougher series than many have predicted. Sure, the Pacers cannot score and sometimes set the NBA back a few decades to the low-scoring 90s. However, the Pacers play some damn good defense. They are also much bigger and brawnier on […]
The Chicago Bulls Are the Toughest Team in the NBA
This just in: the Chicago Bulls are tough. Damn tough. No one – and I mean NO ONE – had the Bulls winning Game 1 last night over the Miami Heat. Hell, a lot of people did not have the Bulls winning a game in this series. But if anyone paid attention to the Bulls’ […]

Knicks, Thunder Playing with Fire
The Oklahoma City Thunder and my New York Knicks blew golden opportunities last night. The Thunder inexplicably lost at home to the Houston Rockets 107-100, while my Knicks laid an egg against those damn, vile, cheap shotting Boston Celtics 92-86. Both were Game 5s. Both were at home. Now the Rockets and Celtics have more […]
Props to Jason Collins for Coming Out
Posted by klownboy in NBA, sports blogging on April 29, 2013
If you haven’t been living and/or working under a rock, you all know by now that NBA player/free agent Jason Collins came out in an Sports Illustrated story this morning. In fact, he has graced the cover of the magazine. Now I am not going to go into deep detail on my feelings on this, […]
