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 11/29/10: Griffin, Spurs, and Avoiding LeRiot
by Khendra • Damn, Blake Griffin is good. I know many of us were tempted to write him off as another Greg Oden when he missed the entirety of his 2009-10 rookie season, but dude has serious athleticism and skills on the offensive end that Oden only dreams of having. His post moves are already well-developed, and he’s a beast on the boards. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him putting together 20/10 seasons for years to come provided that […]
Blerd Radio Episode 6: The Drunkcast
Blerd Radio is back after a short hiatus. We’re still trying to nail down the right je ne sais quoi (is that spelled right?) so we’re playing with different time slots and host combinations. This week, I jumped from my friend Jim’s “Funny Like Car Accident Funny” podcast right into my own show-so I was warmed up, in more ways than one. There was definitely a higher level of intoxication happening than on your average podcast, but me, Jim and my friend Will still managed to […]
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 […]
Blerd Briefs: Immigration, The NBA & Bret Michaels
I remember reading an interview (I think it was in Vibe magazine) with Meshell Ndegeocello, where she said something to the effect of “Mexicans are the new niggers”, and I had to agree with her. It’s not politically correct to give brothers and sisters the “you don’t belong here” treatment anymore, so the easy targets are Mexicans and Middle Easterners. The state of Arizona (which has a very high Mexican immigrant population) just passed into law a bill that requires […]
Blerd Briefs: The NBA, Tiger Woods & Kevin Smith
I was a pretty hardcore NBA fan back in the day-coming up during the glory era of Bird, Magic and MJ. These days, I catch a game when I can, but I’m not as much of a fanatic as I used to be. Hell, I missed the All-Star game this year for the first time in ages-although I was very happy that my man David Lee made the Eastern Conference squad. Anyway, back when I was in high school, my […]
