Roundball Soundoff Presents: Your 2012-2013 NBA Preview (Western Conference)
Earlier this week, Jay previewed the Eastern Conference (with a surprise pick to come out of the East). If you thought his Eastern Conference finals pick was a surprise, his Western Conference pick is an even bigger surprise. By the way, also check out Jay’s New York Knicks podcast . Western Conference Preview Oklahoma City Thunder – I do not like the Harden trade for this season. The Thunder might be better in the long run, but when you are so close to a title, why mess with it? Kevin […]
Roundball Soundoff Presents: Your 2012-2013 NBA Preview (Eastern Conference)
If you don’t know, Jay is a hardcore New York Knicks fan. He hosts a podcast about all Knicks everythang . Give it some love. Now, onto the preview. Eastern Conference Preview Miami Heat – The defending champs replaced Ronny Turiaf and Eddy Curry with Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis and Josh Harrellson. The rich got richer this offseason. All Ray Allen, arguably the best 3 point shooter of all time, has to do is hit wide open 3’s off of LeBron and Wade double-teams. Unless Wade […]
Roundball Soundoff – Poptificating On The Upcoming NBA Season
This is the first of three upcoming posts about the 2012-2013 NBA season. Because of the Olympics, it feels like the season just ended . For hoop fans, this is great. We had a two and a half month break with no basketball and now they’re back at it. In our first part of a three-part Popblerd NBA Preview, I sent off questions to our NBA guy Jay and our editor-in-chief, Big Money Mike. We had quite the discussion about the upcoming season. Before we get to […]
Roundball Soundoff – Ranking Team USA Basketball Since The “Dream Team”
Internet: Did you hear Kobe Bryant say that Team USA can beat the Dream Team? He’s an idiot! They could never win! Me: What did you expect him to say? That they would lose? Yep, that would be a great way to market Olympic basketball this summer! And while we would truly never know what would happen, I think we can make some serious educated guesses. It’s hard to rank players against each other because the game seems to change […]
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 […]
Roundball Soundoff – The Lyin’ King
My name ain’t Jay , but I hope I can sound off on hoops as good as my man can. Being tied 2-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals is a good spot to be in when you’re coming home to play game five. But if you lose game five and have to play the elimination game on the road, it’s nearly disastrous. That’s how quickly things can change in the NBA playoffs. Not even the good job, good effort kid can […]
