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 Summer Edition: Khendra’s Draft Notes
I had the fun and luxurious time of being able to catch the entirety of the NBA Draft (it’s so nice to have Fridays off in my current grad school course!). I know many people are saying this Draft isn’t that much better, if at all, than last year’s ho-hum group, but I think there are quite a few interesting “niche” players who will hopefully get to show their talents this upcoming season (“hopefully” since there is still a high […]
Roundball Soundoff 3/7/11: Some Knick Knacks
I know it’s a little short, but it was a slow week in the NBA this week: ¼ of the Cavs wins this season are against the Knicks. Luckily for the Knicks they won’t have to face the Cavs in the playoffs FYI to all NBA players out there; After Samardo Samuals dunked the ball against the Knicks, JJ Hickson laughed….and got a technical. So laughing is now added to the giant list of reasons players will get a technical […]
Roundball Soundoff 2/7/10: Showin’ Some All-Star Love
* The All-Star teams are now official. Thankfully, Kevin Love was finally added to replace the injured Yao Ming, who obviously was voted in because of the large numbers of Chinese voters (Yao is the poster boy for why the All-Stars shouldn’t be determined primarily by the fans). Did you think anyone else got snubbed? Personally, though I like Kevin Garnett and the Celtics, I think Carlos Boozer deserved a selection this year. Three All-Stars is enough for the Celts, […]
Roundball Soundoff 1/14/11: Sliding, Streaking, and a Sizzling Soph
* The Cavaliers have lost 16 straight. 16. Straight. God help this team. * New York is also on a slide, losing six straight. They are still playing tough, but they are losing down the stretch. The Knicks need to fix this hiccup soon because playoff positioning matters. * The Spurs are on a tear again, 8-2 in their last ten games despite a recent smashing they suffered at the hands of the Hornets. Overall, they are 37-6 as I […]
Roundball Soundoff 1/18/11: Everyone’s Injured
Make sure you’re checking Jay out at The Brink of Sanity . OK so there’s a lot of injuries throughout the NBA this season (Hell yes! My fantasy teams are fucked up!-ed.). I want to break down the injury situations and talk about what it means for each team. I didn’t include players that aren’t in the top 8 in their teams rotations, and I usually left out players with very temporary injuries. (This was written on January 17th, so a few players may […]
Roundball Soundoff 1/10/11: A Title in the Big Apple?
* Mark Jackson said on TV that Carmelo Anthony could put the New York Knicks in title contention. A dynamic duo of ‘Melo and Stoudemire is admittedly amazing to think about, but even if they land ‘Melo, I still think New York isn’t defensive-minded enough to reach that next level. They looked impressive against San Antonio recently, but they better hope Boston and Miami have some injury issues come playoff time, because the playoffs are a different story. With all […]
Roundball Soundoff 12/6/10: Cleveland, Orlando & MJ as GM
In this week’s Roundball Soundoff, Jay discusses the bug that are Orlando, files an early-season missing persons report, and reminds us that the greatest of all time kinda sucks as a GM.
A Quick Word About LeBron Going to Miami
We live in a different time. Team loyalty is a thing of the past. While there’s a lot to be said for the general classiness of players who stay with one team for their entire career, also let it be known that it works both ways. For every Derek Jeter, there’s a Kobe Bryant. LeBron gave the city of Cleveland and the Cavaliers a good run. He’s not obligated to stay with the team if he feels like he has […]
Blerd Radio Episode 3: The Disappearance of LeBron James
Blerd Radio Episode 3: The Disappearance of LeBron James . For some reason, WordPress will not led me embed the Blogtalkradio code into my posts. This pisses me off. A lot of you reading are way more computer savvy than I am (quiet as kept…I’m kinda dumb), so if you could lend a blerd a hand and help me figure this out, that would be groovy. Anyway, after a three week absence, I have returned with Blerd Radio Episode 3. My guests for this episode are my buddies +LB […]
Hey LeBron…Where Ya Goin'?
Now that LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers have been unceremoniously ousted from the NBA playoffs in the second round, and the league MVP can declare free agency this summer, tongues are wagging left and right about where he’s gonna go in the off-season. Granted, there is absolutely NO denying that LBJ is a legend, but I’ve gotta think that the Cavs’ performance in the playoffs after winning more games than any other team this season will reflect badly on […]
