by Ryan Sterling With the point guard position taken care of it is time to move on to wing position. I believe basketball has evolved to the point where the shooting guard and the small forward positions are interchangeable. If you are a shooting guard who cannot play small forward or visa versa you are […]
by Kent Sterling As the game remained close well into the second half, it seemed the Miami Heat were waiting for the moment to unleash the hounds of war and assert their will. The Spurs fought with pride, but like the Spartans at Thermopylae, the opposing horde was too much to take on when the […]
by Kent Sterling NBA players in Toronto are harmless. No one pays any attention, even if they say stupid things. Forgive me if I missed how self-impressed Chris Bosh was up in the hinterlands of the NBA Now that he has moved to Miami where microphones and cameras are everywhere, Bosh’s inane chatter is impossible […]
by Kent Sterling That was a hell of a basketball game that the Miami Heat won 103-100 in overtime. The game belonged to the Spurs as they took a 13 point lead in the third. Then it belonged to the Heat as they asserted themselves in the fourth quarter to take a three-point lead with […]
by Kent Sterling There is an arrogance about the Miami Heat that I don’t like. LeBron James carries himself like he has no doubt this series is over, and then he proves that he was right. That I admire. The way the rest of the team syncs with that arrogance, but are mostly incapable to […]
by Kent Sterling Let’s face it, without a rooting interest the NBA Finals are terrible television. The last 90-seconds of a close game can take almost a half-hour, and there is so much physical contact the referees can justifiably call fouls on every possession. The Miami heat host the San Antonio Spurs tonight in Game […]
by Kent Sterling Let’s call this game what it is – a battle of the collective will of the Indiana Pacers against the individual will of the greatest player in the world – LeBron James. The Big Three has become the Big One as James has outscored Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade combined 171-155, and […]
by Kent Sterling There was controversy before the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals started. Indiana coach Frank Vogel said that the Heat are the team that is next. Someone told LeBron James that Vogel said the Heat “are just another team.” James took umbrage and claimed that the Heat “are a great team.” Even if Vogel […]
by Kent Sterling The Indiana Pacers better make sure their mouthguards fit correctly as the Game Seven they earned tonight is going to bring a response on Monday at 8:30p. The Heat aren’t going to surrender their crown without a fight the likes of which these Pacers have never faced. Tonight, everything that went right […]
Indiana Pacers – Game Six Is Time to Nut Up and Play for Each Other or Be Satisfied
by Kent Sterling If the Pacers are under the delusion that because they are young, a future of opportunities in the conference finals is assured, they should dispel them. With Derrick Rose coming back to the Chicago Bulls, Dwyane Wade likely regaining some measure of health, and David West entering free agency, this opportunity needs […]
