The Boston Celtics Defeat The Los Angeles Lakers For Championship June 18th, 2008 Congratulations to the 2007-08 NBA Champion Boston Celtics for picking up their 17th league championship and embarrassing their hated rivals in the process. The Celtics’ 131-92 victory over the Lakers is the largest margin of victory in a championship finale. Paul Pierce was named the finals MVP, but the last and deciding game was a team effort… Right down to the post game press conferences. Read the rest of t

Carmelo and K-Mart Spout Off at Sign-Waving Critic

The March 12 game between the Denver Nuggets and the Memphis Grizzlies was never going to be much of a contest. Sure, the Nuggets have been erratic throughout the 2007-2008 campaign, showing championship-quality mettle when facing first-rate opponents on one night only to fall flat against lesser talents the next. But the Grizzlies started the season in grisly fashion, and since trading their best player, Pau Gasol, to the Los Angeles Lakers in early February, their only real competition in t

Game Notes: Nuggets at Celtics

by Ben Collins Pregame: - Some exclusive Celtics news to lead off the Game Notes: SLAM friend Dana Barros is about to be named the C’s Director of Player Development. He’ll be there to “help the young guys get their legs both on and off the court.” He’s probably going to have a heavy hand in the development of Rajon Rondo, for all those wondering. - Pre-game tape for the Celtics: a Nike Carmelo highlight video. There will be no Melo turnaround dunks in the lane tonight. They’ve seen it. They

Making lists to hate on lists

The MSM has proclaimed the 10 Most Marketable Players in the NBA and fellow blog You Been Blinded isn't impressed. And on the one hand, I'm on YBB's side. First of all, making lists totally belongs to bloggers; if the MSM takes that away from us, what are we left with? Linking to YouTube? But second, I'm strongly opposed to lists that proclaim to be authorative, without offering up some clues to a methodology. Feel my righteous indignation, MSNBC! Sure, anybody can make a list of his favorite f

Vince and the Revolution

by Russ Bengtson *WARNING: This post is a compiled (and somewhat rewritten and added to) version of a number of my comments from today’s Post Up. Just in case it sounds familiar.* With all apologies to Gary Sussman, I really hate the Nets right now. Allow me to explain. I feel like a big part of the reason Isiah Thomas hasn’t been fired yet (besides the fact that Jimmy Dolan is a thick-skulled nincompoop) is that the rest of the East—particularly the Nets—has been playing so badly.

Please Don’t Feed the Anomalies

by Russ Bengtson This post was inspired by a recent comment regarding Amare Stoudemire’s below-par rebounding numbers (8.5 per), which led me to look up Eddy Curry’s triple-eagle rebounding numbers (5.5 per). Anyway, while I was on NBA.com I came across some fairly surprising early-season statistical truths. (For the record, I did NOT use examples where a guy earned his perfect shooting percentage while taking three shots—for instance, it’s cool that Zach Randolph is shooting 50 percent from t

Lakers Defeat Nuggets In Blowout

Yahoo: Kobe Bryant scored 24 points and reserve guard Sasha Vujacic dominated the fourth quarter, scoring 19 of his career-high 22 points and powering the Los Angeles Lakers to a 127-99 rout of the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night. Vujacic shot 6-for-14 in 21 minutes of action. Andrew Bynum had 12 points and 13 rebounds and Luke Walton added a career-high 14 points in 27 minutes. The Lakers’ much-improved second unit played so spectacularly and efficiently down the stretch that Bryant didn’t p

Missed free throw allows Pacers to escape with win over Nuggets 112-110

The Indiana Pacers may want to add Denver Nuggets guard J.R. Smith to their Christmas card list this season. Smith’s missed free throw with 2.7 seconds left in the game allowed the Pacers to escape with a 112-110 win over the Nuggets at Denver. Not unlike their previous meeting in Indianapolis on November 10, the Pacers started fast; Indiana scored the first thirteen points of the game and led 21-3 midway through the first quarter. But Nuggets reserve guard Anthony Carter scored 6 points, spa

Top Five Anderson Varejao Escape Routes

Your idea of an ideal Friday night isn’t watching the Rockets and Heat do battle on ESPN in a late-November game with pretty much no ramifications. I get that. Trust me when I say this (and I know you won’t), but neither is mine. But that doesn’t mean I won’t pass ESPN on the tube in the wee hours of Saturday morning and happen to catch some of it. The only thing I remember from that game, however, was the four-lettered network’s Ric Bucher talking about how “Anderson Varejao has played his l

Brett Ashley Was A Good Time

After watching the Lakers lose to New Orleans last week, I finally figured it out: Kobe is basketball's answer to Jay Gatsby. Jim Gatz, singularly driven to achieve his holy grail, reinvented himself through hard work and sheer force of will into Jay Gatsby, the ultra-wealthy and mysterious baron of West Egg, armed now with everything he needed to obtain that haunted him. So it is with Kobe and his (Shaq-less) pursuit of Jordan's legacy. [IMG] When I first shot this one along to Shoals, he

The totally new Timberwolves lineup came out with a lot of energy and determination to win their home opener, and took a 19-6 lead over the poor shooting and poor defending Nuggets, but the Nuggets did not break down or lose their cool. At one point, Melo, Iverson, and Camby were a combined 1/17, and it seemed that the world was coming to an end if you looked at the box score. But all three Nuggets superstars treated their early pounding as just another day at the office, and chipped away piece

Now that the NBA season is fully upon us, combined with the fact that I'm extremely bored and nothing in particular interests me recently in the sports news world, I've decided to play the name game. What is the name game, you ask? Great question.
