If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 17

By John ⋅ February 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After the All-Star break, it’s still a rough NBA world. Dwyane Wade got roughed up a little bit Sunday, Carmelo Anthony is a Knick and Cleveland finally got to 10 wins. San Antonio’ll wind up as #1, and Chicago will more than likely wind up as #3, though they’re only two games back. Speaking of [...]

Trade Details Knicks Get: Nuggets Get: T-Wolves Get: F Carmelo Anthony G Chauncey Billups F Shelden Williams G [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 16

The Clippers are now officially the worst team ever, after letting Cleveland get the better of them. Speaking of which, it’s thanks to the Cavs that Washington finally won a road game in its 26th attempt. And the Celtics are still in 1st place in the East despite emptying out the Maine Red Claws with [...]

Carmelo Anthony to the Lakers?

By Matt Bertone ⋅ February 10, 2011 ⋅ One comment

It’s been all over ESPN and we still have no idea what’s going to happen. What will the decision be? What team will he be playing for? No, were not talking about Lebron anymore, now its Carmelo Anthony. With the trade deadline approaching, many teams are trying to shift around players and make a run in the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 15

By John ⋅ February 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Kobe Bryant has played more games than Michael Jordan, Ray Allen needs two more threes to break Reggie Miller’s record, and the Cavaliers have now lost more games in a row (25) than the previous record holder, Cleveland. Yes, there’s plenty of exciting things happening in the NBA lately. Of course, San Antonio’s still running [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 13

By John ⋅ January 25, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Halfway through the season, and there’s great fun in futility. The Cavs are on pace for 15 wins, and are eight losses away from breaking their own record for longest losing streak ever. The Wizards are 0-21 on the road. But the Spurs have a six-game lead over the Lakers, and Boston is still a [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 12

By John ⋅ January 18, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week down, and after a brief scare, the Celtics are back on top of the Heat, following injuries to the other Big Three. Dirk Nowitzki’s absence really took a toll on the Mavericks. The Lakers are nicely situated at #2. The #8/#9 gaps are reasonably safe, in the West due to skill and the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 11

By John ⋅ January 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week down, and the Celtics have another losing streak going, dropping behind Miami’s Big Three. The Cavaliers are the worst team in the NBA without you-know-who. Orlando is still going strong. And while the West’s eight are fairly well-entrenched, the East still has a couple of spots up for grabs, so let’s look at [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 10

By John ⋅ January 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week into the season, and Boston is losing some credibility, and donating it to Miami. First a losing streak, and then Minnesota almost beats Boston. Some complacency, some abysmal “officiating,” and that’s what you get. The James-less Cavaliers are dangerously close to being the worst team in the NBA. The Spurs continue to crush [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 9

By John ⋅ December 29, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week down, and despite the Christmas loss, the Celtics still have a comfortable lead. They and the Heat will be able to feast on first round jobbers at this rate. It looks like the Spurs will have a relatively easier time too; teams 2-6 in the West have each lost their last game, and [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 8

By John ⋅ December 22, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Two months into the season, with Christmas’ quintuple header on the horizon, and there’s plenty to talk about. The Eastern Conference is once again inferior (11-16 and you’re going places), five West teams (versus two Eastern teams) have reached 20 wins, and a team affiliated with Michael Jordan is horrendous. The Lakers are still 4.0 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 7

By John ⋅ December 15, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Celtics have a decent lead, but someone lit a fire under Miami, who’s holding steady. Dallas finally dropped a game to give San Antonio a bit of a cushion. Each playoff team finally has ten wins, and the Spurs have become the first to 20. It’s still very close in the middle, and several [...]

No ‘Melo? No Problem for the Celtics

By John ⋅ December 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Carmelo Anthony’s right knee was inflamed, and so was Denver’s hopes of winning George Karl his 1000th game. In the end, Denver made it close, but Boston swatted them back down, and took the win 105-89. All the way into the 3rd, Denver held their own, but Boston was able to charge forward and lead [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 6

By John ⋅ December 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Ah, the East. Where you can be .381 and still make the playoffs. Where #5 and #6 can both be better than #4. And then there’s the West. Where a team that would challenge in the East is middle of the pack. Meanwhile, Dallas has built up 10 straight wins to challenge the Spurs, who [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 5

By John ⋅ December 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week gone, and we’re coming up on LeBron’s return to Cleveland, which is sure to result in military activity not seen within U.S. borders since the Civil War. And for the first time in recent memory, the last playoff team from the West has a losing record. Chicago and Indiana are continuing to fight [...]
