Last Call To Keep Any Of These Close
The general consensus, to this point, is that the Jazz-Warriors and Pistons-Bulls series are pretty much over: The favorites up 3-1 with two home games to close it out. Well, if the Nets and Suns can't hold serve tonight, they might be well be in the same position....

Easy Pickings In The Eastern Conference
We mean no offense to a fan base that has to be ecstatic, but has an NBA team ever won its first six playoff games in less impressive fashion than the Cleveland Cavaliers?

Open Thread: Nets vs. Raptors
There are 4 NBA playoff games on today, and I'd like to watch at least three of them. That means that my DVR's going to get a workout, you're probably going to get a couple of open threads, and if J.E. Skeets is arrested for throwing bricks at Vince Carter's children today, it might go unreported on...

A Raptors Fan Lets Out His Vince Rage
The Raptors-Nets series tips off tomorrow, and everyone's talking about the supposed "revenge" factor involving Vince Carter and his former team. We find this amusing that this is the big angle from the series, considering this has to be the first time media folk have cared about Raptors fans....

Be Careful When Shaking Jason Kidd's Hand
For years, every time he went to the free throw line, Jason Kidd has blown a kiss into the air as a symbol of his love for his wife. Now that the marriage is over, though, Kidd is apparently sending the kisses somewhere that he feels needs the love a little more ... his own asshole....

Yeah, We Hate To Be The Ones To Tell You This, Vince ...
An amusing side note from the Nets' late-night last-second loss to the Clippers last night. The NBA All-Star starting lineups were announced last night, and our man Gilbert Arenas edged out Vince Carter — who almost always makes these teams — for the second guard spot in the Eastern Conference. When...

Yesterday, the North Jersey Something-Or-Other reported that Nets point guard Jason Kidd filed a domestic violence claim against his wife Joumana, saying that "It has been painful for Jason Kidd to watch the effect of his wife's behavior on their children." (That's his lawyer talking, not Kidd in th...

Vince Carter, Back In Toronto: Awesome Idea!
Last night, the New Jersey Nets — our favorite team to play in NBA Live, by the way; if only they'd just move to Brooklyn already — handled the Toronto Raptors, helped of course by Vince Carter, whose exit from Toronto was one step removed from Tom Cruise refusing to leave the South Park closet unti...

How Easy It Is To Switch Lyrics On Command

A Sign That New Orleans Is Finally Getting Back On Its Feet
I don't know if you'd call him a marquee free agent, but for New Orleans/Oklahoma City, it's not bad. Peja Stojakovic has signed with NOOCH for a staggering $64 million over five years, in what may be a gross misappropriation of Katrina relief funds....
