NBA GAME OF THE NIGHT

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

There is no question that tonight will offer somewhat of a playoff atmosphere after the Suns disappointing and controversial Western Conference Semi-Finals loss to the Spurs last season. San Antonio suffered their first home loss to the Suns, so expect a similar atmosphere and the same type of emotion and ...

Sports Betting Gone Bad

Monday, January 7th, 2008

I know in some of my previous posts I've mentioned that I don't bet on sports and I never plan to bet on sports again. It has been nine years (1999) since the last time I made a wager on a professional or any other type of sporting event and ...

The Cavs Will “Shock The World”

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

What would be a better scenario for the NBA, Duncan winning his fourth championship or Lebron at the tender age of 22, bringing home a championship for a city that hasn't won anything in the last 40+ years? Oops, I made a mistake, the Cleveland Crunch (I think its ...

Lebron Has Graduated

Friday, June 1st, 2007

I just realized why I would be the worst sportswriter in the history of journalism.  (1) I'm speechless (2) I cannot find the words to describe what I just witnessed (3) Being negative one minute then jumping on the bandwagon the next minute is not part of my genetic makeup ...

Like I Said

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Not that I'm some sort of prophet or anything like that but you can see it here. Like I said "you better aks somebody". Not only did the Cavs show up big at home, Lebron has carried them on his back, and the Cavs are headed to Detroit with the Pistons back against ...

You Better ‘Aks’ Somebody

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Last nights third contest of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cavs/Pistons is the exact reason why others refer to me as, "FanProphet". I made a few comments regarding the outcome of game 3 and which players will "come up big" to help me take a 2-1 advantage in ...

Know Yourself, Opponents, and Situation

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

After the ass-kickin blowout Keir handed me in game 2, it left me wondering how in the heck I managed to let him get Boozer and Duncan, the top two players in the fast paced, high scoring, Western Conference Finals. I truly believed that I just threw my money away by allowing ...

What’s Next In The World Of Fantasy Sports

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

For some reason this morning I woke up saying to myself (I talk to myself quite a bit), I wonder how much money is involved with fantasy sports on an annual basis. As I enjoyed my morning cup of coffee I figured I might as well do some research to ...

Game 2 Complete

Friday, May 25th, 2007

Awww, a 45 point blowout!  After Tuesday night and monstrous performances by Duncan and Boozer, I figured I was in a world of trouble since the majority of my lineup is played in the defensive minded Eastern Conference. I simply do not know what to say.  Don't get me wrong, I ...

I’m In Trouble

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

I didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Tim Duncan and Carlos Boozer would have a great game. I wasn't too concerned about Duncan because just like everyone else, I knew he would have his typical double-double, block several shots, and pick up a couple of steals in ...

WANNA GET AWAY

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

I learned something last night about Lebron James that I would have never imagined from such a tremendous talent and by far the best player to ever play the game at his age. That's right his age! For the first time in his NBA career while watching Lebron last night, ...

GO CAVS

Monday, May 21st, 2007

How can anyone give the Cleveland Cavaliers only a 10-15 percent chance of winning the Eastern Conferece Finals? Being that I am an Akron, Oh native maybe I'm just biased in my thinking but the Cavs are as good, if not better, than the Detroit Pistons. Experience smerience! ...

HALF TIME

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

I guess it's considered half time right now for me and Keir's All-Star fantasy conference finals matchup. As it stands, I have a tremendous advantage thanks in part to Deron Williams' steller perfomance with his overall effort of 51 points. Ginobili also "chipped in" 39 as he outscored 3 ...

CONFERENCE FINALS

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Myself and a friend drafted our Conference Finals fantasy players. Each game is worth $20 for the first four games played by each conference. Each game thereafter is on a game by game basis. The overall winner gets an extra fifty dollars. Here's how the scoring system ...

FANTASY’S VERSATILIY

Monday, May 14th, 2007

Last night as I watched the Golden State/Utah game I learned that Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson were all having their own fantasy contest for the playoffs. Barkley was in the lead but Kenny and Ernie were relatively close. I didn't catch who their players were but ...
