Hey, That’s Not How You Foul Mr. Hollins

Photo Credit: Yahoo Sports / AP So think about this scenario: It’s a tie game, 7 seconds left in the 4th Quarter, and unfortunately the other team has the ball. Normally what do coaches do in these kind of situations? Do you try and get a steal? Defend it and hope the other team doesn’t [...]

Cavs Fan Fights Jazz Mascot, Gets Tossed.

The Utah Jazz mascot, BEAR, was just having some fun. The Cavs have been atrocious with a decomposing record of 8-32 and losers of their last 13 games — they have lost 23 of their last 24 games, starting with the embarrassing loss to LeBron James and the Miami Heat. Keeping that in mind, BEAR’s ‘Im A Loser’ sign [...]

The competition was between Akron Hammer, which is an awesome nickname, and the classic King James. King James won ins a landslide.

LeBron James: Potential Terrorist?

Last month a London court ordered the British government to disclose confidential US intelligence showing that this man (see picture below) was detained and suffered “cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment” whilst in US custody. Now, you’ve read the headline and seen this picture. After putting two and two together, some of you may have gotten [...]

There’s a ton of news flooding the blogosphere about both the long and short-term implications of every team involved in the trade deadline frenzy. I’ll try to avoid most of that and merely focus on the major players coming and going to teams who are not caught up in the Summer of LeBron. Boston – [...]

Amare to Cavs thoughts…

With talks apparently heating up about a possible trade between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Phoenix Suns, it might be an idea to explore what this trade does for both parties.  The trade proposal floating around is Zydrunas Ilgauskas and J.J. Hickson for Amare Stoudemire. So what does the deal mean for both teams? PHOENIX [...]
