In Part 3 of his Eastern Conference Preview, Jon Washburn discusses an Eastern Conference superstar who could be poised to make the leap to legend – Carmelo Anthony – and provides his prediction for which team will represent the East in this year’s Finals.
With the NBA season beginning on Christmas, Devon serves up his previews of each game and accompanies it with the TV schedule! Enjoy!
With the season now only days away, it’s time for Devon to dissect each NBA team and analyze how all 30 NBA teams stack up against one another.
One hour ago Shane Battier tweeted “Let’s Go #Heat!!!!!” Assuming this means that Battier will be joining LeBron, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh in Miami, it’s a great move for the Heat.
While some might completely disagree that LeBron’s move to Miami made him an even better player, why don’t you read this before you make any assumptions.
Despite what Morgan Spurlock and the nutritional information says, Keith Mullett loves McDonald’s. He does not, however, love (or even like) their new commercial that features a self-deprecating LeBron James. He breaks it all down in this week’s edition of Commercial Grade.
I’d like to take a moment and recognize Redditor The_Art_God for some absolutely terrific work. As the first commenter noted, “Copyright this shit immediately. You could make a lot of money with this.”
Many in Cleveland were calling the Mavericks the “Mavaliers”, with Dirk being the favorite player of many Cavs fans. However, it did not matter that the Mavericks won the title; it was all about the failure of LeBron James.
Fueled by the memories of 2006, and with the roster that manifested lessons learned, the Dallas Mavericks came to Miami up 3-2 and now head back home after Game 6 as much-deserved NBA champions.
Game 6 of the NBA Finals is tonight. Mavs-Heat, 3 games to 2. Jerod provides his prediction, along with some simple reasoning, and then it’s your turn to chime in.
ESPN has talked more about LeBron’s struggles than it has analyzed the actual series itself. This infatuation with LeBron is something usually only seen in Cleveland, but ESPN seemingly loves talking about nothing but LeBron’s struggles in the Finals.
The Miami Heat have been losing this series in the eyes of the media, but Devon is going to explain why the Mavericks are the team that is winning it.
How did LeBron respond in Game 5 with his back against the wall and D-Wade injured? LeBron passed the ball at every opportunity, half-heartedly drove the lane to try and draw fouls, and did not hit a single shot outside of the paint until midway through the 3rd. It was a disaster.
Did you know that there is empirical evidence suggesting that the more “touchy-feely” a sports team is, the more likely it is to win? I didn’t. But we all do now.
There are plenty of things we should be discussing right now about the NBA Finals – how great Wade has been, how unstoppable Dirk has been, etc. Instead, ESPN has their own agenda of what they think is important.
