Kobe and the Lakers go Back to Back
Posted by Brock Hardon | Friday, June 18th, 2010

They did it.  It wasn’t pretty, but the Los Angeles Lakers got the job done.  Ron Artest somehow scored 20 while looking like he didn’t know what the hell was going on until he hit that 3 in the 4th quarter.  Pau Gasol might have the best look like you are drawing a foul game [...]

The Celtics Got Stomped
Posted by Brock Hardon | Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

We’re going to game 7.  Sheed can’t believe it.

You’re right.  I just wanted an excuse to use my new and improved “Sheed Face”.
Can he really be surprised after all these years?

NBA Playoffs: I Hate the 2-3-2 Format
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

The NBA Playoffs are really kicking up now.  The Celtics are up 3-2 and every single game is an elimination game.  The Lakers caught a Man Up last week because all the role players needed to step up.  All of Us know what happened next, the Lakers did exactly what I said they were going [...]

Man Up Monday: Vince Carter
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, May 31st, 2010

The NBA Playoffs are finally coming to an end.  There have been 64 NBA Champions and 32 of them have either been the Celtics or the Lakers.  The Celtics and the Lakers have met 12 times head to head.  So yeah, this is fate.  If the Celtics get healthy, it might actually be a good [...]

Man Up Monday: Kevin Garnett
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, April 19th, 2010

The NBA Playoffs have started and people are already playing real NBA basketball.  It is no Mid-1980’s type physical action, it is no Oakley vs. Mourning, but it will do.  So the first real scuffle of the playoffs went down in Boston last night in the Heat vs. Celtics game.  Paul Pierce went down with [...]

Come On Bruh! Jason Richardson
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Phoenix and San Antonio was in the last minute of the 4th quarter, when Phoenix got a steal when they were just down 2.  They got it up to the back to back 2002-2003 dunk contest winner for an uncontested basket ahead of the field.  Check out Jason’s finish.

Aw damn, come on bruh, that is [...]

Damn Homey: Scottie Pippen
Posted by Brock Hardon | Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Scottie Pippen has six rings in the hopper, he was named one of the 50 greatest players of all time.  Some argue that Scottie would not have been in the top 50 if it wasn’t for Michael Jordan…but there are others who say that MJ might not have been the same without Pippen.  He was [...]

Dwight Howard’s WAG is a Classy Lady
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Maybe not WAG, but she is his baby momma and now I know how she got the job.  Her Name is Royce Reed.

Aw man, she was a Magic dancer too?  This is the worst baby mama story ever.  Everyone knows you can’t look at your own dancers, that is the #1 rule.

But no, Dwight didn’t [...]

When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong: Gilbert Arenas
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, January 4th, 2010

This is one part Man Up Monday, one part When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong.    Last weekend Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton were in the Wizards locker room arguing about an unpaid gambling debt when Gil Arenas pulled a gun on Javaris.

He was getting loose with it too.  Leaning with it, rocking with it.  Apparently, [...]

The NBA Ushers In the Superteam Era
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Now see.  When it comes to everything sports related (other than picking actual winners to games, fights, or races, I’m actually pretty turrible at that) I am a damn sports Svengali.  I predicted two weeks ago that NBA teams were going to have to be “superteams” in order to get it done for the next [...]

Man Up Monday: Cleveland Cavaliers
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, June 1st, 2009

Awwwwww damn.  I really didn’t think this would happen.  I’ve been saying for weeks that the Cavs were good, but I didn’t really understand why.  Now I know why, it is because they weren’t that good.  Everyone said the media wanted  Kobe v. LeBron in the finals like it was a bad thing.  Hell, I [...]

Man Up Monday: Deeeeeeetroooit Basssssketbaaaaallll
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, April 27th, 2009

Damn, it doesn’t take long does it?  The Detroit Pistons got the Championship back in 2004.  Got to the Eastern Conference Championships 5 or 6 times in a row and dominated a relatively weak Eastern Conference for most of this decade.  They were the poster child for the team with no stars, although 4 out [...]

Andrew Bynum is Ready to Play, Boy!
Posted by Brock Hardon | Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Andrew Bynum is the starting center for the Los Angeles Lakers, he brings heart and size and youth, and another six fouls when the Lakers play the big boys.

In my opinion, he was also the difference maker in the NBA Finals last year.  And by difference maker, I mean his absence is the reason the [...]

Marbury to the Celtics?!?!?
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Let’s see, you are the defending world champs, had a damn near record setting start to the season, retained most of your great players, and are still leading the Atlantic division at 37-9?  Doesn’t quite sound like a debacle to me, but Doc Rivers, do you have any ideas?

I know!  Let’s go get one of [...]

Stupid Athlete Injuries: Derrick Rose
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

There are so many great stupid sports injuries out there.  Like when Bill Gramatica hit a field goal, jumped in the air with a wild kick and blew his ACL.  Or one of my favorites, when Gus Frerotte scored a touchdown and headbutted the wall in the end zone, compressing the vertebrae in his neck.  [...]

Man Up Monday: The NY Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, November 24th, 2008

Well damn.  I guess it is on.

The NY Knicks straight cleared house this week, dumping Zach Randolph to the Clips and Jamal Crawford to Golden State, oh and clearing $27.5 milli off the books.  They’ve also got the worlds highest paid bench warmer coming off the books next year which will clear out another $21.1.  [...]

Detroit Pistons: Allen Iverson is Back in the East
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Basketball season isn’t even a week old and we’ve already got a blockbuster trade.  Chauncey Billups, team captain and perennial all-star just got traded to Denver for Allen Iverson.

I like Joe Dumars shaking things up, but I’m not quite sure about this one.  A.I., Rip Hamilton, and Tayshaun Prince?  That has to be the skinniest [...]

Isiah Thomas: From Piston to Passed Out
Posted by Brock Hardon | Friday, October 31st, 2008

Oh no Zeke, say it ain’t so.

Get this.  National Champ at Indiana, two-time NBA Champion, 12 time all star, one of the greatest point guards of all time, Coach of the pacers and Knicks was just alledgedly picked up and taken to the hospital after being found unconscious and not breathing at his house.  Come [...]
