      Celtics survive to even the series

      June 4, 2012 /

      Neither team played very well, and there were the usual controversial calls from the refs, but the Celtics are back in this series.

      Everyone will dissect LeBron’s big three near the end of regulation along with his pass when he held the ball with the last possession, along with Wade’s off-balance missed three in OT. But the Heat might be at the point where they need Chris Bosh back to put Boston away. The Lebron/Dwyane show was working great for a while but they couldn’t steal one on the road. Home court might be enough to take out Boston, but getting Bosh back would surely help.

      Spurs take game 1 over Thunder

      May 28, 2012 /

      The Spurs found a way to win game one against Oklahoma City despite looking terrible for three quarters.

      – Gregg Popovich challenged his team to get nasty with their defense, and Stephen Jackson responded with tough defense on Kevin Durant.

      – Russell Westbrook is getting a ton of heat for his lame play in the 4th quarter, but Gregg Doyle just eviscerates him in this column, pointing out that Westbrook’s game is as hollow as the lenseless glasses he was wearing to show off the new nerd look that he and other prima donna’s like Prince James and Dwyane Wade are sporting these days.

      – Youth is definitely a factor in a series like this. That has to be an advantage for the Spurs, and it’s one of the reasons that Heat-haters like me would rather see the Spurs take on the Heat.

      – Manu Ginobili came up big for the Spurs in the 4th quater and finished with 26 points.

      The Dwight Howard drama

      March 15, 2012 /

      Drama queen Dwight Howard generated quite a bit of attention yesterday as contradictory reports surfaced as to whether he would stay in Orlando through next season. Now it looks like he’s staying, but who knows.

      Dwight Howard informed Orlando Magic management late Wednesday night that he wants to stay with the team through next season and will not opt out of his contract, according to sources close to the situation.

      Howard plans to sign a waiver of the early termination option in his contract Thursday morning. Until both Howard and his agent sign the waiver, the Magic will assume he is not staying and go ahead with their plans to trade him before Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET deadline, sources said.

      By signing the waiver, Howard would remain under contract with the Magic through the 2012-2013 season.

      Of course this means nothing until Howard signs the paperwork Anything can still happen.
