Whew! I didn’t think I would have to ask myself this question for a very, very long time. At most, I thought I would ask the general sports-viewing audience, and even then, I didn’t think many more people needed any persuading. But all of a sudden, I too, am no longer sure whether or not [...]

There were a lot of people that weren’t “sure” about the Los Angeles Lakers. Yeah, we all had them as the prohibitive favorites to win the NBA Finals before the season started, but with Kobe Bryant’s injuries, the Lakers slide late in the season, and Ron Artest’s inability to fit into the offense, no one [...]

For those of you who have been anticipating a Game 7 since 2005, when the San Antonio Spurs beat the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Finals, you finally have your game. We now have the first NBA Finals Game 7 in five years, making this the first time since then that we know exactly when [...]
