The only concern in OKC right now is the fact that their starting center, Kendrick Perkins, looks 37 […]

Did you guys check out our look at how the Eastern Conference is shaping up ? If not, we’ll wait. Now, here’s how things are going on the left side of the map.

Roundball Soundoff Is Back!: 2011-2012 NBA Predictions

And they’re back!! After a lockout that threatened the 2011-2012 season, the NBA is back and we’re ready to hoop it up! The season will be shortened from 82 to 66 games (something that should maybe become a permanent change going forward,) and it looks like even with 16 games lopped off the schedule, this season will be more interesting than most.

So the 2010-11 season has finally come to an end.  If the NBA is going to miss part of all of a season, and it’s looking like that will be the case , then I’m glad our last taste of NBA action for a while was a good one. The season began months before any games were played with this along with a number of other big names switching teams such as Stoudemire, Boozer, and Bosh.  We even got our first truly hated team since the Bad Boy Pistons with this . Things […]

Roundball Soundoff: Championship Edition Part 2

You can check out Part 1 here . Now for the losers, the Miami Heat: Dwyane Wade – Wasn’t the same after his hip injury, but was the main reason the Heat were so close to winning this series. He was the best player on the team for the first five games.
