SoB NBA Eastern Conference Power Rankings: Thanksgiving Edition

By ⋅ November 24, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

After watching the Boston Celtics struggle through the initial part of the 2012-13 NBA season, I made the executive decision that doing a full NBA Power Rankings was too depressing. Why do I want to put myself in the position of constantly ranking the Celtics tenth or lower? Let’s just stick to the Eastern Conference, [...]

NBA Power Rankings: The Almighty to Unsightly Edition

By ⋅ November 9, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

So far, things have not exactly gone as planned in the NBA season. Expected playoff contenders have struggled mightily (don’t give me that look, Kobe, I like my job), and teams missing their star players have overachieved (kind of in for d rose?).

By ⋅ December 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Just in time for the celebration of the birth of the Son of God, the crazy improbability of Week 15 in the NFL arrived. A number of teams kept their improbable playoff hopes alive, the Colts managed to win, and the Packers found a way to lose. Did the Colts and Packers hold onto their [...]
