Miami vs. San Antonio I’m anxiously awaiting Zach Lowe’s NBA Finals preview. I expect it to be released tomorrow as his usual weekly Tuesday column, but then again I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t released until Wednesday or Thursday. I’ll post my tonight, and I’ll include my five impact players along with a winner…

For the first time since Utah lost to Chicago in back-to-back years in the 1990s, the NBA will have a Finals rematch. San Antonio squandered the opportunity to beat Miami last June thanks to miss free throws by Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard, and a 3-pointer from Ray Allen that will go down as one…

I’ll post four of these between now and June 26. The first one will only feature the 14 lottery teams, but I’ll breakdown why each player fits that team. 1. Cleveland Cavaliers – Joel Embiid, Kansas C The Cavs have passed up on Jonas Valanciunas, Andre Drummond and Nerlens Noel in recent drafts. Cleveland couldn’t…

The NBA Draft Lottery took place tonight. It was a night I’ve had circled on my calendar for a long, long time. I’m fully satisfied with what took place on May 20. Two top-10 picks, including the third overall selection? It’s beautiful. Obviously the first pick would have been great, but Philly will get either…

I won’t lie to you. I’m nervous. This whole season comes down to 30 minutes. The future of our quest for NBA relevancy comes down to 30 minutes. I circled three dates on my 2013-2014 NBA Calendar (neither of those dates had anything to do with actual Sixer games, or NBA games for that matter).…

Yes, the second round was far less entertaining than the first round. Everyone knows that. The two best teams in each conference made it through two series, setting up a nice conference finals. The Clippers had a serious chance, but the Nets, Wizards and Blazers didn’t really. These are the two match ups mostly predicted…

The three-day extravaganza that is the NFL Draft begins tonight. I follow Philly beat writers to figure out who they want the Birds to draft (assuming the Eagles stick with the 22nd pick). I’ll be honest and say I’ve watched exactly zero seconds of Draft coverage on ESPN, and I’m mighty proud of that. That’s not…

I should have never made a full playoff prediction. I should have been patient and simply done a round-by-round preview. Although my NBA Finals is still intact (Miami/San Antonio), I only correctly picked one second round matchup (Oklahoma City/Los Angeles). Basically, I did awful. I’m happy I wrongly selected Chicago over Washington though because I’m…

One of the biggest knocks on the NBA is the lack of upsets in the postseason. It’s pretty common for Wild Card NFL and MLB teams to win it all (it helps when only 10 or 12 teams, respectfully, make the postseason, compared to 16 in the NBA.) The NHL constantly has upsets. In the…

He stands six-foot-11. He has one of the more unorthodox shots in the NBA. He supports a hair bun. He won two championships at Florida. He is Joakim Noah. The Chicago Bull center has been one of the more popular stories in the NBA this season. After guard Derrick Rose injured his knee again, the…
