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’s Midseason Report Card Part Two: The Western Conference
Check out the first part of our midseason report card here , and make sure you’re checking out Jay’s NY Knicks podcast. Oklahoma City Thunder: A+: Having the best record in the league sure silenced the whole ‘Westbrook vs. Durant power struggle’.

The only concern in OKC right now is the fact that their starting center, Kendrick Perkins, looks 37 […]
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 […]
