Lots happening around the L the last few days. Time to sit back in your underwear and take stock.
The Warriors-Mavs-Nuggets playoff battle is undoubtedly the most intriguing sub-plot in the NBA this past week, and it reached fever pitch today when the Nuggs knocked off the Warriors in a typically high scoring affair 119-112. With [...]

Kudos to Laker fan cj33 for pointing out this very amusing YouTube clip. The guy who made this has way too much spare time on his hands. But it’s bloody hilarious.

More MVP talk around the league with Jon Barry making the wonderfully decisive call: “If the New Orleans Hornets win the West’s pitched regular-season battle, I’ve got Chris Paul. If the Hornets don’t win the West, I’ve got Kobe Bryant no matter what.” Thank you Jon, you can now jump off that fence you’re sitting [...]

It feels like it’s been forever since Geelong absolutely smashed Port Adelaide in the AFL Grand Final back in last September. Over five long months without football. Without having Friday night footy blaring on the big screen LCD. Without seeing the idiots on the Footy Show carry on every week (check out Bogut’s appearance last [...]

We probably don’t talk about the National Basketball League (NBL) enough on this site considering we’re Aussies, but tonight we congratulate the Melbourne Tigers on winning the 2008 HUMMER NBL Championship (don’t worry, HUMMER is just the sponsor). It was a hell of a series, highlighted by Sean Lampley’s game-winning three in Game 3 [...]

For anyone unaware of happenings in the NBA blogosphere, today is officially Kobe Bryant Blog Day. Now being downunder in Aus, today is actually yesterday in the States so we are actually writing on Kobe Bryant Blog Day from the future. Yes, we managed to borrow the time machine Dirk has been working on.
Fittingly, Kobe [...]

A few days back I got cranky and had a little vent about the MVP and how it’s threatening to lose credibility. With that out of my system I felt relieved, and a lot clearer about who really are the most deserving players to be mentioned in MVP discussions. Having compiled by top 11, [...]
