I'm a big fan of Dwight Howard. He's fun to watch, and he's definitely got a great personality that makes him entertaining both on and off the court (except for him trying to dance to Beyonce's Single Ladies , which was a little disturbing...maybe). But tonight's blow up after a crushing...

Dear Lebron, First let me say that I am a Witness. Your play last night was not human. You were 20-30 from the field and that simply doesn't happen in the NBA. You were even able to add eight assists, six boards, three blocks and two steals while only committing two turnovers. Those numbers are...

One of the first sports books I ever read was "The Jordan Rules" by Stan Smith. One of the main features of the book was a philosophy by Detroit Pistons head coach Chuck Daly (RIP) on the best way to defend Michael Jordan. The interesting thing was Daly knew you couldn't totally stop...

Obviously didn't Lebron didn't read my "Open Letter" to him a couple of weeks ago about him being a "drama queen" . Last night after being destroyed by the Orlando Magic in Game 6th of the Eastern Conference finals "The King" acted more like a spoiled prince...

The Celtics were a pretty good team last season, even though their season didn't end with the same outcome it did in 2008: they didn't win the championship. They started the season with an unbelievable 27-2 record and during the process, they had a 19-game winning streak. However, we already...

A slight regression back to "lukewarm" for this blog, but a big Wednesday on the horizon, so we could potentially leapfrog warm with a strong day. Yesterday, we dropped a clunker on the Sixers, who just got mauled by the sweet-shooting Thunder. Bad call by me, as at this stage of the season...

We're still a few wins away from being "hot," but that easy coast-to-coast winner with Orlando last night certainly bumps us one notch above "warm" to a temperature that I like to call "quite warm." As far as leans go, we made our play on the Magic to take advantage...

I really feel like I was extremely conservative in raising the temperatures of the blog, but after winning in 6 of 7 days this week, I think it's fair to say that we are officially "hot." The Milwaukee Bucks cruised to an easy winner over the Suns despite Amare Stoudemire's vicious...

No plays yesterday, as the NBA featured a rare game-less night, and we wanted to just take one day to get our bearings on MLB. This is the first official TWO-SPORT blog, so bear with me while I settle into a rhythm. I'll also try to include whether I have any sort of lean on the baseball games...

We're knee deep in combo-sport style after just one day with three plays going in the books yesterday. Our TOP PLAY was an easy winner on the Charlotte Bobcats, who stormed out to a 20-point lead against the Hawks, and despite giving Atlanta some life, the cover was never really in jeopardy. At...

No Graduation Day jitters for this guy! Tee-hee. We'll tackle yesterday's recap in the order the games ended. We nailed a hair-raising MLB underdog on the 1* Baltimore Orioles +150 to get off the snide in MLB. We did get a little lucky with Jeff Niemann getting nailed with a line drive...
