* I wonder if Miami’s recent win over the L.A. Lakers will finally give them the spark they need to start winning against better teams. Prior to that game, they were 1-9 against the top five teams in the league and 15-19 against all teams with a record of .500 or better. Stats like that don’t bode well for the playoffs when it’s nothing but the top teams. For the Heat to make any noise in the playoffs, I think […]

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: ΒΌ of the Cavs wins this season are against the Knicks.

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 […]
