NBA Finals: My NBA Finals Christmas List

By

With the NBA Finals tipping-off in a little over seven hours, I have made a list of 10 things that I am hoping to see from the Finals this year. I know making a list sounds silly and I probably won't get half of what I put on my list (happens to me every Christmas). But here is a short story: Two years ago, I made a Christmas list of 10 things, roughly, that I wanted. Some of … [Read more...] about NBA Finals: My NBA Finals Christmas List

NBA Finals: Heat v. Thunder Preview

By

This season reminds me of the fireworks on the 4th of July. It starts off slow, with some big explosions here and there. Gradually it speeds up, a few more big explosions. About two-thirds of the way through, you start to big explosions, until the final salvo where they hit with 50, 75, or 100 fireworks going off in a span of one minute. This is the NBA's final salvo. And boy, … [Read more...] about NBA Finals: Heat v. Thunder Preview

NBA Playoffs: Kevin Durant is a “closer”

By

I have said this many times and will continue to say it until people realize it: Kevin Durant is the best BASKETBALL player on this planet. Not only is he 6'10, long, and lanky, but he can score, rebound, take over and close games. There is a big difference between him and 3-time MVP LeBron James: Durant lives in the gym. There is no denying James' talent, but I am taking a … [Read more...] about NBA Playoffs: Kevin Durant is a “closer”

Last year, the Heat beat the Boston Celtics in the second round of the NBA playoffs, 4-1. But it's a new year and, probably, the last time the Boston's "Big Three + Rondo" will … [Read more...] about Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat: everything you need to know

It’s finally time: Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heat in Eastern Conference Semifinals

By

This time three years ago, the Indiana Pacers had fallen so far out of the public eye, both nationally and in their own city, there was talk the franchise might soon be on the move. Now, they're about to be as relevant in sports nation as they can be -- they're playing a playoff series against the most polarizing team in the NBA -- and maybe in American sports. Fresh off … [Read more...] about It’s finally time: Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heat in Eastern Conference Semifinals
