With last night’s fourteen-point victory over the beat-up Boston Celtics, LeBron James and his Miami Heat are now on a four-game winning streak that goes back to Game 4 at Indiana. Despite the close halftime score (tied, after a Miami…

For reasons that are at best irrational and at worst downright stupid, I don’t like Rajon Rondo. He plays for a team I root against, he once trash-talked Chris Paul for not having any rings, and he is, by my…

The great Howard Beck wrote an interesting column in today’s New York Times, analyzing the struggles of Carmelo Anthony versus the Heat and in his entire postseason career. He points out Melo’s crappy shooting percentage in this series and his…

As sixteen NBA teams do battle in the first round of the playoffs, the Timberwolves begin their offseason. Kahn had his presser (which was tragically-devoid of Kahnisms), we looked back on the season that was, and each player now departs…
