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 […]

With two weeks remaining until the playoffs start, Popblerd’s Jay takes a look at some of the more interesting potential matchups.

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: Championship Edition Part 1

I’d like to start off by giving a big congratulations to the Dallas Mavericks. They surprised just about everyone all throughout the playoffs. They showed a mental and defensive toughness that no one thought was possible. If there is going to be a prolonged strike I’m glad we had such a feel-good story to close this chapter in the NBA out on. From Jason Kidd winning on his 3rd trip to the finals, to Peja and Marion getting a ring […]

Roundball Soundoff 5/16/11: Celebrating Too Early, Miami?

Come on Miami, rolling around on the floor and crying after you won a 2nd round series. Really? LeBron said it was so emotional because they finally got over the hump by beating Boston. If beating Boston while Rondo, Garnett, West, and both O’Neals were injured is getting over the hump that’s fine, but do it with a little class. Chicago stomped Atlanta and just calmly walked off the court. Act like you’ve been there before. For those Knicks fans […]

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 […]

Roundball Soundoff 4/25/11: Playoff Ponderings

Well, the Boston Celtics are the first team to advance to the second round, sweeping the New York Knicks. This series was closer than what the broom indicates. Even so, many people are calling for a new coach in New York, and I can’t say I blame them. D’Antoni’s offense-only approach, in my opinion, will never make a title contender. Some people are also saying the Melo move wasn’t good, but I think an Amare/Melo combo will only get better […]

Roundball Soundoff 4/11/11: Playoff Preview

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 4/4/11: The Losers

The….race for 8th in the East (ed. note: Do we really wanna call this a *race*?) (AKA the team who gets to be swept by the Bulls in the 1st round) is just about over. And the winner is….The Bobcats because they get to avoid the brutal beatdown the Bulls are going to provide. I hope you like the teams that are in the playoffs this year because the only lottery teams I can see even possibly making it next […]
