If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 6

By ⋅ February 5, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week by, and the All-Star starters are already in place. Only one, Carmelo Anthony, isn’t from a currently seeded team, so it should be a good game. In the meantime, teams are still shaking things up. Houston is falling while Miami is going back up. But Chicago and Oklahoma City are still running the [...]

After another week of action, things are starting to really heat up. Houston is rising, while Orlando is falling. Even Milwaukee’s getting in on the action. It looks like plenty will be shaken up in the rest of the season, so let’s look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Sunday, January [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 4

A month into the season, and things are still going roughly for playoff hopefuls such as Boston and Dallas. Teams like the Clippers and 76ers are taking advantage of that. But a lot of powerful teams are still holding sway at the top of the conferences, and they’re continuing to make things tough on everyone [...]

Another week in, and there are some noticeable changes. The East has a new leader. The Heat are collapsing. The tops of the conferences are starting to see some separation, while the lower part of the seeding is trying to establish itself. But it’s still very tight in between, so let’s look at what would [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 2

By ⋅ January 8, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

After another week of the season, there’s not too many signs of anything settling down. Several teams are getting to their expected positions, as well as some surprise teams. After a terrible start, Boston is now knocking on the door. Philadelphia has shot way up, and Dallas has sneaked their way to #8. Even Cleveland’s [...]

Allen Leads Celtics Past Jefferson, Jazz

By ⋅ March 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Just days after trading away Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson, the Celtics got a fresh reminder from Jazz forward/center Al Jefferson that in making a trade, be careful what you wish for. Jefferson scored 28 points and grabbed a season-high 19 points for the new-look Jazz on Monday night, but Ray Allen, who has been [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 17

By ⋅ 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 [...]

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 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 15

By ⋅ 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 ⋅ 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 [...]

Shaq Injured as Jazz Play Out of Tune, Get Blown Out in Boston

By ⋅ January 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

If you’re Al Jefferson’s mom…first watch out for Delonte West. (ZING!) Second, you had to be pretty disappointed in your son’s performance Friday night in his return to Boston. You also have to be jealous of Ray Allen’s mom, who watched her baby boy and his Celtics demolish the Jazz, winning 110-86 in a game that really [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 12

By ⋅ 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 ⋅ 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 [...]

SoB NBA Power Rankings 1-9-11

By ⋅ January 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s crowded at the top in this edition of the SoB NBA Power Rankings, and a theme seems to be emerging: if you want to be a dominant team this season, you have to have at least three star players. The Spurs, Celtics, and Heat all have their own version of a “Big Three,” and [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 10

By ⋅ 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 [...]
