Roundball Soundoff’s Playoff Preview
Our friends from the New York Knicks podcast break down the NBA playoff scenario. Have a look to see who the guys think will be hoisting a championship trophy come June.
Roundball Soundoff 4/4/12: The Home Stretch
It’s the final stretch, lets take a quick look at what’s going on around the league: Tankapalooza 2012 has begun. This is the time of year players sit out with mystery ailments, random D-league players all of a sudden get huge minutes and teams try really hard to look like they are trying without really trying. So far Golden State is 1st in the league in playing below their potential to try and get a high draft pick. It’s real tight […]
Roundball Soundoff: Midseason Report Card (Part One)
The Bulls are in 2nd place in the East, even having missed D. Rose for a stretch. Check out Jay’s midseason report card for the entire Eastern Conference.
Roundball Soundoff 1/30/12: What Have We Learned?
D. Rose and the Bulls are the beasts of the East (so far.) How’s the rest of the NBA holding up in this lockout-shortened season. Read on for the best damn NBA column in the world.
Roundball Soundoff 5/23/11: Rapturous Conference Finals
In game 1 of the Western conference finals Dirk Nowitzki had one of the greatest all-time playoff performances. 48 points on 15 shots, 12-15 FG and a record 24-24 from the line. The Thunder have to choose to single Dirk, who is basically unguardable and let him go nuts like he did in game 1, or “hold” him to 25 by doubling him and hoping the rest of the team misses shots. I think I roll the dice with the […]
Roundball Soundoff 5/9/11: Bye-Bye to La-La Land & Perhaps the Windy City; Hello Memphis & Atlanta?
* The Lakers were swept. The Lakers were swept by the Dallas Mavericks. Dirk Nowitzki and the infamously choking Dallas Mavericks. C’mon, if you say you saw this one coming, you’re either lying, or you’re far more of a basketball genius than me and most other b-ball fanatics, because I don’t know anyone who predicted such an outcome. I’m still in shock. The Mavs not only swept the Lakers, they completely embarrassed them in the fourth game. It’s just too […]
Roundball Soundoff Extra: Jay’s Playoff Preview
Earlier this week, Khendra posted her NBA playoff picks and showed amazing foresight by picking the exact ranking for the Western Conference teams when the final ranking was still very much in flux (should we give her Tommy Points?). Anyway, Jay wanted in on the action and decided to post his own playoff predictions. Since the first series begins this afternoon, we decided to post Roundball Soundoff two days early this week. Let’s see what Jay has to say! Eastern Conference First […]
Blerd Appreciation: Dennis Rodman
One of the five best defensive players in basketball history will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame this summer. While many of you hear the name “Dennis Rodman” and immediately think “cross-dressing train wreck”, those of us that followed basketball in the late Eighties and most of the Nineties (hopefully) feel differently. Rodman was, basically, a freak of nature. Drafted at age 25 out of Southeastern Oklahoma State University, he didn’t follow the typical trajectory of a basketball stud. […]
Roundball Soundoff 4/11/11: Playoff Preview
With only a few games left in the season, the playoff picture is pretty clear, so let’s have a look at the match-ups: Eastern Conference First Round 1. Chicago vs. 8. Indiana Chicago put together a great season and a nice final run to secure the top spot in the East. They are my favorites to win the title. Indiana squeaked in the final spot while Charlotte crumbled; they are the only playoff team with a sub-.500 record, so I […]
Roundball Soundoff 3/28/11: Basketball: Where It’s Good To Be Sheep & Cattle
* I don’t follow college hoops nearly as much as I do the pros, but I have to admire what the Virginia Commonwealth Rams have done in the tourney. This is a college whose last noteworthy pro player was Gerald Henderson, whose last pro was drafted in 1982 and lasted only a year (Edmund Sherod), and who has produced just four players in the entire history of the NBA. Regardless if any of the current guys make the pros, it’s […]
