2010-11 NBA Playoffs Recap, Day 13: Eliminations
Three teams were eliminated last night, but there are still more questions then there are answers. Is Atlanta a fluke? Can Dirk out-shoot the Lakers? How’s Kobe’s ankle? Does Dwight Howard stay in Orlando? That’s actually a good place to start. Orlando Magic 81 – Atlanta Hawks 84 It’s kind of pathetic that the Orlando [...]
2010-11 NBA Playoffs Recap, Day 12: Breakfast, Backcourt & Zombies
This might have been the single greatest day of playoff basketball I’ve seen in my lifetime. We had the Zombie Spurs, the Broingtons and the Miami Breakfast Club all make an appearance last night. Philadelphia 76ers 91 – Miami Heat 97 Andre Iguodala finally has a good game and the Sixers lose. It was a [...]
2010-11 NBA Playoffs Recap: Day 11, Black Socks And Beatdowns.
Last night was, in a way, disappointing. Maybe I’m a bit spoiled from the incredible action the playoffs has given us already? As Sebastian Pruiti pointed out to me on twitter, last night was the first time in 9 straight days that we didn’t experience wire-to-wire excitement, and that’s something we should all be willing to live [...]
2010-11 NBA Playoffs Recap: Day 10, Where The Spurs Look Spent.
San Antonio Spurs 86 – Memphis Grizzlies 104 Lionel Hollins tanking at the end of the season so the Grizzlies can drop down to the 8th seed and play a 61-win team now looks borderline genius. Memphis beat San Antonio to take a 3-1 series lead. Only person I know that called the Memphis upset was Zach [...]
2010-11 NBA Playoffs Recap: Day 9, Where Chris Paul is a Point God.
I probably should have started this daily recap post 9 days ago, but I was to intrigued by the playoffs to even pull myself away from the television just to tweet let alone blog. (Translation: L.A.Z.Y.) But here I am and here we are, just past the halfway point in more of the first round match-ups and [...]
Kobe tweaks ankle, to have MRI
Kobe Bryant will undergo an MRI and an X-ray on Monday after injuring his ankle late in the fourth quarter of the fourth quarter of Game 4 of the first round series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Hornets. Kobe sat shortly after rolling his ankle but returned to end the [...]
Chris Paul, Come Again?
I wrote the following rhyme in March of 2009 (seen here). The Kobe mention stems from the MVP race between Kobe and Chris in 2008. So apropos considering CP3 and Kobe are battling each other in the playoffs and both put up SICK performances in a Game 1 Hornets victory on Sunday. Lightening quick, so slick, feverously on top serenely cream of [...]
