Roundball Soundoff – Poptificating On The 2013 NBA Finals
Tim Duncan is looking for ring number five. LeBron James is looking for ring number two. Who will prevail?
Roundball Soundoff – Ring James
Haters gon’ hate. (Even though LeBron’s 2012 season was Michael, Magic, and Larry all rolled into one.) But what they won’t be able to say is that he’s not an NBA champion. In the penultimate game of his NBA career, LeBron James put together the type of performance that reminded basketball fans why he’s the NBA’s most must-see player. He didn’t need to score 50. He just needed to play like he always plays; making the right passes, getting the […]
Roundball Soundoff – The Miami Heat Get “Desperate”
After game three of the NBA Finals, a reporter asked Dwyane Wade if the Miami Heat would rather be behind in games because they seem to play better and rally around their defense. Wade simply said, “No.” But when he defined why they go on spurts when down, he called it desperation. When you’re down by 10, if you don’t get desperate, you can let the game get away from you. In the third quarter, the Thunder took a one-point […]
The Popblerd Staff Predicts The NBA Finals 2012
Before the season, if you predicted that the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Miami Heat would meet in the finals, not too many people would’ve disagreed with you. Derrick Rose fans may have given you the side-eye. Kobe Bryant himself may have waved you off. But it was probably the most predicted finals before the season started. Personally, I wanted to see Miami vs. the LA Lakers simply because I wanted to see the LBJ/Kobe dynamic, but this finals would’ve […]
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. Looked like Dwyane was getting pretty frustrated with LeBron and I don’t blame him, he took his game to an even higher level in the finals and sacrificed his […]
Roundball Soundoff: Wade’s World
It’s certainly been a competitive NBA Finals so far, no doubt about that. It’s also been very revealing on several important points, some of which shouldn’t be all that surprising to more analytical fans. Among the points: * Dwyane Wade is the leader of the Heat. If anyone doubted so before, it should be clear to everyone now. I always figured Wade should be the main scoring option if Miami wanted the most success, and so far in the Finals, […]
Blerd Radio Episode 5: Hot & Bothered
You can listen to or download Episode 5 here . Hot? Because it was nice and toasty inside the office when I recorded this episode, and turning on the air conditioning would have resulted in a background noise even more annoying than listening to this hour-long monologue. Bothered? Maybe not so much. I was a little annoyed, but the show turned out to be less obnoxious or rude than I intended for it to be. Some things and people just aren’t […]
