If the Golden State Warriors will win their last game against the Seattle Supersonics, they will be the team that has the best record without making it to the playoffs in league-history. Such a painful demise on their part. They have been winning one and loosing the next game for the past 14 contests. If [...]
Just came back from Taiwan for a convention, and I really had a busy week. And during that stretch, I haven’t touched a computer, not even a lone keyboard. I left my HP Pavilion Notebook at home. Sigh. My mind was wandering while I was in business meetings, thinking of the coming play-offs, and how [...]
Even though the Phoenix Suns got their butts kicked, 83-105, by the Eastern Conference leaders Detroit Pistons last night, I still believe they passed their toughest week ever, winning two of three games against perennial playoff-bound teams.

Philadelphia gets the load off their salary cap with Iverson’s heavy 20-million dollar contract out of their concern. Plus they bring [...]
I just love watching Earl Boykins go up and down the floor. In a game where most guards are over six feet, the diminutive Boykins has excelled. He has proven, yet once again, that little guys have what it takes to make it and even stay in the NBA. The 5-5 Denver Nuggets guard was [...]
The Denver Nuggets have catapulted themselves back to the playoffs immediately after acquiring Carmelo Anthony as the third overall pick in the 2003 draft. They have gotten out of the slump where they have been a lottery team for ages. The last time they went to the playoffs was when they were led by Dikembe [...]
