Doc B -- kelly dwyer says magic in 6J-Hova --cavs in 5. Who guards LeBron? It's very underappreciated how many good shots he gets for teammates. Varejo can guard Rashard, LeBron on Hedo and I'll let Z go one on one with Howard with complete faith that he doesn't have enough shots in his arsenal to carry them.Doc B -- one person never guards lebron. but the teams that do the best on him

J-Hova and I had a little back-and-forth over e-mail today, about the upcoming Lakers-Nuggets series. Since this is pretty much the only way he contributes to the blog anymore, we thought we'd share it. We'll do the same for Magic-Cavs tomorrow. Enjoy.J-Hova -- I'm going to start this off with two statements. One, Denver will win this series in 6. Two, if you get all statty and geeky like you

I'll do a complete 2nd round preview sometime in the next couple days, but I wanted to get this in writing when I thought of it.Maybe this is me being a paranoid Lakers fan, maybe not. You can be the judge.Yesterday, before Game 6 of the Rockets-Blazers series, Ron Artest made the controversial statement that Brandon Roy is the best player he's ever played against. Obviously this prompted some

These are going to be shorter than the WC version, mostly due to a lack of time. Maybe that will make you happy, or maybe it will make you sad. In any case, here we go.(1) Cavaliers vs. (8) PistonsI just don't really see any possible way that the Pistons even compete in this series, let alone have a chance to win it. The Pistons are not a very good team, and one that often plays disinterested

(1) Lakers vs. (8) JazzI went back and forth numerous times on this matchup. At first I didn't want to play the Jazz at all. We pretty much own the Mavs and Hornets (6 straight over the Mavs, other than CP3 we match up exceedingly well with NO), and the Jazz (Harpring and Boozer especially) play an annoying physical brand of basketball. It wasn't that I was worried the Lakers wouldn't win the

Yup, I am that excited. The NBA is my favorite sport, and other than the first weekend of March Madness, the NBA Playoffs are my favorite sports event. So I think it's appropriate that now is the time for a return to the blogosphere. I'll be previewing each first-round series, and from then, every second, third, and fourth round series (yes, the Finals).For now, enjoy this. If you're as into the

I know I haven't blogged in a while, and this isn't the type of blogpost I'd like to come back with. No picture, and just kind of an uninteresting rant. But I am furious, and I doubt very many other people in the world care about what I'm upset about, so I'll blog it.If you just looked at the boxscore right now, you'd think Kobe Bryant was having quite a good game. He's got 31 points on 23 shots,

From the Cavs' blog "Waiting for Next Year":LeBron is trusting his teammates less and less as the season goes on. In fact, LeBron is pretty much back to playing PG. Mo Williams frequently looks to receive the outlet pass from LeBron whenever LeBron gets the rebound, only to stand there and watch LeBron dribble right past him as he takes the ball up himself. And even when Mo does bring the ball up

This might be a long one, so bear with me.Lakers vs. CelticsFirst off, this was an absolutely phenomenal game. In terms of pure quality basketball, it wasn't as good as the most recent Lakers-Spurs game, but it had maximum intensity, and both teams giving it their absolute best. Going in, I thought the Lakers had absolutely no shot to win, given the circumstances. No Bynum, on the road, second

Seems to be a pretty clear salary dump for the Lakers. Radman has this year at 6 mil, next year at 6.5, and the year after he has a player option for 7 mil, which he will obviously pick up. AmMo has this year at 4.5, next year at 5.5, and then a TEAM option for the next year, which will pretty obviously not get picked up. Brown has a 1-year contract for less than a million.Neither Brown or AmMo

I've been watching these rookie point guards for about three months now, and until yesterday, I couldn't quite figure out who they reminded me of. First let's remember that six guards 6'4" and under were picked in the first 11 picks of the draft.#1. Derrick Rose#3. OJ Mayo#4. Russell Westbrook#7. Eric Gordon#9. DJ Augustin#11.

Hi again.So this is starting to get awkward. We barely ever see each other. I promise I'm going to come around more often from now on. I've missed you, blog.I have one long thought and a bunch of random short thoughts for the night.Let's start with the painful, my beloved Hoyas.Last time I was here I was talking all sorts of noise about lottery picks, national championships, and the like.

Lakers-Raptors, and checking in on LeBron at MSG. Late might be Phoenix-Golden State, but more likely I'll go to bed. I do have to finish up a law school essay though, so posting might be light early on.I'd really like an early, big lead in this game, so the starters can get some rest before Boston tomorrow night. That's extremely unlikely to happen, however, as the Lakers are still getting used

I promise this blog won't turn into the Bynum Watch, but some extremely interesting information has turned up on the LaTimes LakersBlog, courtesy of AK and BK. They interviewed Dr. Michael Kaplan, a knee expert and an ESPN correspondent, and got some good stuff out of him.Here's the article, and I'll quote the most relevant part, as I see it:"While stressing that he hasn't seen the MRI film and

(Credit: Kathy Willens / Associated Press)I was supposed to be at Madison Square last night. I had talked to my friend who has Knicks season tickets at the beginning of the season about going up for this game, but a combination of things including work and travel prevented me from ending up making the trip. After the Bynum injury, I thought it might even be for the best --I had come into the

(Yes, this picture is from last year. But it's nice to expect worst-case scenario, and then be surprised) UPDATE: Bynum will miss 8-12 weeks with a sprained MCL. By my calculations, this puts him back right at the end of the regular season, which is exactly when he was supposed to come back from his injury last year. Some people have been saying that this is a good thing, that an MCL is easier to

This is bad.Not just because I think it has little basis in fact, and is mostly conjecture, but because Lamar is very sensitive. I hope he doesn't read this, and get upset. We need him, as I pointed out in an earlier post.As was said earlier in the year on either LakersBlog or Forum Blue&Gold, Lamar is what he is. A phenomenally talented player who will never reach his ceiling, because he doesn't

So I ended up staying at my parents' for a while doing laundry tonight, and they don't have League Pass, so I missed the first 3 quarters of the Lakers-Bobcats game tonight. I joined the action with 10 minutes left and the Lakers down(!) 79-74. Thoughts from that point on include:How did this game beat San Antonio-Utah on Fan Night? If I weren't a Lakers fan, I'd be pissed. Then again, theyre

So after a brief hiatus, I am back. I'm going to try blogging regularly again, and I want to make it a consistent thing. So there's going to be a lot more Lakers and NBA stuff on here.Additionally, some props go out to Dan Feldman, of Michigan Daily fame.

Yes, I still exist. No excuses for my lack of posting, basically my company was in the middle of a huge round of layoffs and I didn't want to be the guy with 37 blog posts when they were going through who they should cut.

It's the day after Christmas, so I still have family stuff to do -- also, I'm feeling lazy today. But Kurt at Forum Blue and Gold and David Friedman at 20 Second Timeout have posted their takes, both of which I think are very valid. Friedman is often very defensive of the system he uses to judge players and games, and he's also a tiiiiiny bit of a Kobe homer, but he's a great basketball analyst

This won't be a liveblog, because there is a lot of pressure that comes with calling it that, but there will be thoughts throughout the day, as I will be watching a lot of basketball. We'll call it a "What I'm Watching."Magic vs. HornetsI tuned into this first game toward the end of the second quarter, and apparently it was already over. Somehow, the Magic were already

Well, not really. I don't think the Lakers were "bluffing" in the traditional (read: actual) sense of the word. But they did come to play last night. I was driving during the first half, but I did get to see the second half, and have read most of the next-day coverage, via the always-useful LakersBlog. A couple things jumped out at me about this game.According to all reports, the Lakers had their

Here are some quick Lakers thoughts (maybe I'll do some other stuff tomorrow. Or maybe J Hova will post something. Anything. Even something small. It can be really small).The Lakers won(!) tonight. They beat the Memphis Grizzlies. They were losing to the Memphis Grizzlies at halftime. And after the third quarter. And halfway through the 4th quarter.

I participated in the BDL Live Chat today, and asked a couple questions. These are great, because KD is one of the best basketball writers out there right now, and he answers your questions as best he can during these (Love Skeets too, btw).

Hahahahah. See what I did there? It's a pun, because his last name is Duncan, and he played professional basketball in Australia! Also, I think I like the pick, making it like a slam dunk! (We need J Hova back for the jokes. It's not my forte).In any case, I don't know too much about Duncan. However, education policy is something that I am extremely interested in, and have a little bit of

I suppose I should try to convey that I do have a life outside of sports (albeit not much of one). I've been following the upcoming appointments of replacement Senators in New York and Illinois, and here are my thoughts.First, let me say that I don't really have a problem with the idea of a Governor of a state picking a replacement Senator to finish a departing Senator's term. While I acknowledge

Governor Rod Blagojevich has hired the lawyer that represents R. Kelly.That is all.

I'm currently reading Next Man Up, by John Feinstein. It's pretty good, although Feinstein's writing is a little formulaic for my tastes. It's a book about the 2004 Baltimore Ravens, and Feinstein was basically given an all-access pass to write this book about the team. The best part about the book so far is the little anecdotes that give insight into what certain players and personalities are

MNF is on tonight, as are a bunch of NBA games. I'll be checking on it all... (Nets-Raptors, Jazz-Celtics, Mavs-Nuggets, and MNF are the main courses)Ken Dorsey is just horrible. He tried to complete a pass against a blitzing Eagles' D on third down, but he was backpedaling too fast, and ended up just throwing the ball into the ground. Also, did Braylon Edwards really say he was "just getting

I'll be checking in on other games via League Pass during commercials, and I'll give my thoughts on the big trade of the day during the second game.Has Mike Brown lost weight?Quick 76ers thoughts -- I don't really see this team going anywhere.

I've recently been proposing the (apparently unoriginal) thesis that the difference between DC and NY essentially boils down to that in DC, everything is all about power; in NY, everything is all about money. This blog, because of its authors and its readership(?) seems like an interesting place to discuss this.Also, some excerpts from Daily Dish, where comments about this have been going on for

I'm going to start a new feature on this, considering all the free time I currently have. It won't quite be a liveblog, because I'm too lazy for that, but I'm going to write bullet points every night about whatever it is I happen to be watching on television. Mostly that will be sports, but there may occasionally be some other stuff. Tonight's schedule looks like this:8:00-10:30 -- Cavs vs.

Took the LSAT on Saturday, so I'm still in continuous celebration mode for another week or two, but I'd rather post than watch this horrific Redskins game tonight. On that note...I'll do this in list form, because I love lists, and it's easier than figuring out good segues.Redskins -- There are a couple main problems with this team, making this season so horribly unbearable, just like every

Well hello again, sorry for the late afternoon post, but I work in investment banking, which I don't know if you realized, but it's like totally a big deal. What? We're in a recession? The whole country hates investment bankers and think we're all greedy bastards? Oh.Onto the games:Wichita State - To be honest, I was pretty drunk during Thanksgiving, and I fell asleep midway through the game.

Just wanted to take a quick moment to point everyone over to Redskins Insider, Jason La Canfora's (Washington Post 'Skins beat writer) blog. La Canfora is a phenomenal beat guy, and he's doing a feature today and tomorrow called Remembering 21.This is obviously a tribute to Sean Taylor, who died one year ago tomorrow. I will post my thoughts on the subject tomorrow sometime, but for now, just

Go here.An excerpt:"There is no better way to celebrate a win than getting grabbed and punched in the balls by a bunch of offensive lineman on the bus."I'm very confused as to how this man can get away with the things he writes on his blog. Today he writes about the plane trip home from Seattle, and the antics of himself and his offensive line. I mean, don't get me wrong, I find this stuff

I asked for his thoughts on the Eddie Jordan firing, knowing that he would feel similarly to myself, but wondering his specific take. Keep in mind that he bills hourly at a law firm in DC, which is where he is today. This is what he wrote me back. I am posting it because I like it, and because it explains my thoughts on the situation well. Here it is:...Of course i am mad about Eddie Jordan. For

He's simply the best. For team-specific blogs, it doesn't get any better than Brian at MGoBlog. After the guy stopped trying to break as much news as he could, and simply concentrated on what he does best, he's been absolutely unstoppable. This season, he's been perhaps the sole voice of reason in the media community when it comes to Michigan football.And today, he nailed it. I don't have much to

Clearly, I can be a bit hyperbolic from time to time. That said, I would like to delve into the performance of Greg Monroe, Georgetown's freshman center from Louisiana. Yes, he's only played two games, but I am completely blown away.The biggest knock on Monroe, who spent most of his high school career as the number one recruit in the nation, was that he didn't have enough passion to be a high

They're finally here.Michigan football has finally reached the end of this absolutely miserable season, and Rich Rodriguez can begin the rebuilding process in earnest. Imagine forcing Don Nelson or Mike D'Antoni to play with Yao Ming or Shaq (or John Beilein to play with Ekpe Udoh and Ron Coleman, more on this later), only if Yao Ming and Shaq had no offensive skills whatsoever.

Derrick Rose is the TRUTH. The kid is just remarkable. He was doing unspeakable things to Derek Fisher last night (admittedly, not so difficult), but the smoothness with which he does everything is very impressive. Remarkable body control and physical self-awareness for a 19-year old kid. It seems every movement he makes is deliberate, and yet he makes them twice as fast as his defender can
