Parker’s Hurt in Body but Where’s the Heat’s Mind?

Al Dannity
June 13, 2013

Tony Parker says he’ll be ready to go for Game 4 against the Heat but Al Dannity is more concerned about the mental state of Miami than the Frenchman’s physical woes. Stay outta sight, like a Bosh. Post average numbers, like a Bosh. Need to step up, like a Bosh. That’s the point we’ve reached...

Welcome to Toronto Masai

Masai Uijiri and the Flopping Crusade

Al Dannity
June 12, 2013

It’s been a busy start for Masai Uijiri as general manager of the Raptors but now he could be set to take an even more public role when the NBA’s competition committee sits. Al Dannity writes about the role Uijiri could play in today’s meeting. It’s not like his day job doesn’t bring enough challenges....

LeBron-James-Blocks-Tiago-Splitter

Nothing Defined Except LeBron’s Greatness

Al Dannity
June 10, 2013

When LeBron James blocked Tiago Splitter last night it looked like a series defining moment but didn’t we already have one of those a game earlier? Al Dannity says forget the narrative for now, it will be defined by what happens next. He was, in his own words, the last line of defence. When Tiago...

King-James-Lion-Throne-Miami-Heat

A New Quest for King James

Al Dannity
May 31, 2013

Last night’s third quarter takeover by LeBron James got Al Dannity thinking of another big playoff display by the King. In 2007 LeBron took over Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pistons. The Cavs would go on to get swept by the Spurs. Payback is coming. Game 5 of the Eastern Finals,...

Canadian NBA Lottery Pick Anthony Bennett has Surgery

Frank Doyle
May 9, 2013

Brampton Ontario’s Anthony Bennett may still be a top five pick in this year’s NBA entry draft, but his route to the June 27th draft has taken a detour. Bennett underwent surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder Wednesday and will be out of action for at least four months. “Anthony...

Blazers' Lillard Voted Unanimous NBA Rookie of the Year

Dale Perth
May 2, 2013

From the sixth overall pick to No. 1 with everyone: Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard has been unanimously voted the Rookie of the Year in the NBA. Anyone who has seen him play at Weber State or in the pros won’t be surprised by this news, but Lillard is now in some pretty...

Toronto-Raptors-Phil-Jackson

Phil Jackson could change the Raptors as Team President

Al Dannity
April 30, 2013

Could the Zen Master move north of the border? Al Dannity says a move to the Raptors would present a unique opportunity to Phil Jackson. To understand why Toronto would appeal to Phil Jackson, you have to understand what makes the man. Take a city with a large population, an underachieving team, and an iffy...

Jason Collins Openly Gay

Jason Collins: "34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay."

Frank Doyle
April 29, 2013

Twelve-year NBA veteran, Jason Collins, is making history as the first openly gay man from a major American sports team. The announcement came in an essay published in Sports Illustrated’s May 6 issue. “I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport,” Collins writes. “But since...

NBA Western Conference Playoffs: Familiar Foes

Dale Perth
April 19, 2013

Two of the four first-round series have direct connections between the opposing teams, and those linkages provide another level of intrigue to these matchups. (1) Oklahoma City Thunder vs. (8) Houston Rockets Quite the ironic situation for former Thunder forward James Harden. One year ago, he was OKC’s valuable sixth man off the bench; this...

NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs: Dominance, Resilience

Dale Perth
April 18, 2013

One sweep and one upset are forecasted for the opening round of the four series in the East. The Heat will continue to demonstrate their dominance, and the Celtics, like the city of Boston, will display their resilience. (1) Miami Heat vs. (8) Milwaukee Bucks There’s no reasonable expectation of the Bucks making it past...
