Wow.  That was some great basketball by the Mavs down the stretch last night.  I definitely find it amusing that I got worked over betting on the team I love to hate.  Serves me right.

NBA Playoffs Round 2 Preview: Lakers v. Mavs, Bulls v. Hawks, Celtics v. Heat, Thunder v. Grizzlies

One of the most intriguing NBA playoffs in recent memory didn’t disappoint in the first round.  Shockingly, the #1 seed San Antonio Spurs fell to the #8 Grizzlies.  But I don’t buy into the idea that this means the Grizzlies are now a better team than the Spurs.  Ginobili was playing with one arm, and Tim Duncan was probably only 80% coming off his late season ankle sprain. These sorts of unlucky injuries can mean everything in a playoff series. Remember Lebron on one arm?

The Atlanta Hawks also shocked the Orlando Magic.  Which shows conclusively that how a team plays down the stretch in the regular season means almost nothing.  Was there a worse team than the Hawks in the last month of the season?  I remember the Celtics were also horrible last year in March and April. And of course, the Lakers were 3-7 coming into these playoffs.

Round 2 begins tomorrow, and with it the promise of more intriguing matchups. Jump for the 411.                                                Continue reading →

The Wild, Wild West: The Lakers

Posted on October 3, 2009 by feltbot| Leave a comment

In a sickening development for real Californians, last year’s best team in the league actually got better in the offseason. By “trading” free agent Trevor Ariza for free agent Ron Artest, the Lakers addressed the Achilles heel that got them beat in the finals against the Celtics.   Continue reading →
