On rejecting NBA storylines
Yikes, I'm being called out on my own blog. Not by name, but as a professional sports writer some of these points hit close to home. (Except for the hair stuff -- mohawks are newsworthy!) -- MW By Kevin Sawyer Basketball writers are notoriously fond of storylines. This stands to reason, what with...
Day 25 of the NBA 2k9 Playoffs
Another one falls victim to the LeBrons. Props to the Cavs for finishing off the Hawks in 4 and getting through the first two rounds without a loss. Are they...UNSTOPPABLE BABY?!?! No, they'll lose at least one next round against the Celtics or the Magic. But LeBron is making a great case for...
Memo to All-Star Yao Ming: Get in the game...and get right back out.
For pride's sake, I celebrate when Yao Ming makes the All-Star team. On all other fronts, however, I am a nervous wreck. There is no doubt that Les Alexander, Daryl Morey, Sam Hinkie, Rick Adelman, and others in the Rockets front office are as well. While Laker fans or Cavalier fans are...
NBA Preview: Houston Rockets
(The following was written with the heavy assistance of Seven Seconds of Love, aka COUTRAM.

You'll see how it works as...

Ray's Day
Back when the Celtics first traded for Ray Allen, he sat down and did a number of interviews with the local media. My first impression of him was that he was as smooth as a politician answering those questions. So it only makes sense that he would shine on Election Day. Sometimes it feels like...
2008 Olympic Basketball Day Three: Inside the Box Score
Spain/Germany: Unlike the US the Spanish have messed around with their starting 5 to so far. This was evident in their opener when Marc Gasol got the nod over his older brother and yesterday when Jose Calderon came off the bench. In this one the Spanish were determined to not let Dirk Nowitzki...
2008 Olympic Basketball Day Two: Inside the Box Score
For an explanation of the "Inside the Box Score" posts go here. Lithuania/Iran: I watched the majority of this one and was struck by 2 things: 1. It reminded me of USA/China in the sense that the Iranians kept it close through one quarter and then got blown out from that point on, particularly in...
2008 Men's Olympic Basketball Preview: Russia
As I mentioned yesterday I'll be alternating Olympic previews with At the Hive. You can check out all of the posts in both of our sidebars. In the meantime, see what's up with Russia. Population: 140,702,094 Size in Comparison to a US State: About 1.8 times the size of the US Suffrage: Universal...
2007-2008 Game 59: Nuggets/Rockets Game Thread
The Nuggets play their second and last game of the season in Houston tonight. The previous game in Houston saw the Rockets, in the midst of a six game losing streak, smoke Denver out of the building 109-81. The big difference is tonight the Rockets will not have Yao Ming who is out for the season...
