Posted in Rajon Rondo is allowed to roam around and rip the rock when Carlos Arroyo is on the floor. Miami needs to get Mario Chalmers in the mix because you need a PG to initiate the offense. Arroyo is more or less an undersized shooting guard. Rondo already has 11 dimes. Can we say he’s a [...]

Heat-Celtics Second Quarter Tidbits
Even the Celtics second unit moves the ball so effortlessly. Smooth, crisp, just basketball played like its supposed to be played. Fun to watch, energetic bunch of bench guys. Nate Robinson is a huge plus and even Marquis Daniels looks good, especially during the post-up on Wade with an up and under finish. Miami has [...]
Heat-Celtics First Quarter Tidbits
LeBron’s mid-range game is often overlooked. Very rarely mentioned and applauded, and I wonder why. He has a solid in-between game that’s only getting better. Stops, pops, and elevates with explosion on each and every jumper. That shot will need to continue to improve because it’s the shot that you have to take to [...]
Bucks Renew Hammond, Skiles Contracts Through 2012-13
More stability has come the Milwaukee Bucks’ way as the team has exercised options on the contracts of coach Scott Skiles and general manager John Hammond.

LeBron James Gets the Word Out With New Commercial, But Does He Get the Point?
LeBron James came out with a new commercial with Nike recently, titled “Rise.” He basically silenced all the critics, naysayers, and haters that have been criticizing him since the day of the Decision. But he answered right back. At the start of the commercial, he asked, “What should I do?” as he was sitting on [...]
My Thoughts Heading Into Opening Night Of The NBA
The best pre-game and post-game coverage in not just the NBA, but all of sports LeBron’s new commercial: SLAM DUNK! Perfectly-executed by the guy known as “King James”. I have a strong feeling he’s going to take out his fury on the Celtics opening night and unleash a 35-15-12 performance. He wants to start off the season [...]
Heat-Celtics Fourth Quarter Tidbits
They said all the Heat players are in the best shape of their professional NBA careers. Lowest body fat percentages. Let’s see how much of that will play a factor down the stretch. Loose balls, hustle plays, fast break opportunities. Miami needs to meet Boston at the punch of attack. Udonis Haslem took so much less to stay [...]
