Take Our Mistake, And Make It Yours
Because we attended school (occasionally) at the University of Illinois, most of our old friends are fans of the Chicago Bulls, and it's difficult to overstate how excited they were when they initially signed Ben Wallace. It felt vindicating, the reward for waiting for the first post-Jordan star. T...

Do Not Light A Match Around Manu Ginobili Right Now
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who really wishes that TNT didn't schedule the Thursday night games so far in advance.

Welcome (Boo!) To (BOO!) Philadelphia (Booooooooo!)
Once again, we remind you of the next reading a mere half hour or so before it starts: We're hitting Daulerio country tonight, good ole Philadelphia.
