For Part 1 of my team-by-team breakdown covering the Eastern Conference Atlantic Division, click here. Otherwise, here’s the breakdown, as I see it, of each team from the Central Division. Again, in reverse order of their regular season record: Continue reading
There really are not words for what happened last night in Chicago. For anyone who follows this blog, it is no secret my disdain for Lebron, Miami and the SuperFriends, so what I saw last night felt horrible. With every jumper, layup and bad foul call, something inside me died. Don’t get me wrong, I’d already consigned myself to the fact that the SuperFriends would win, but seeing them actually dominate crunch-time and sweep Chicago and its vaunted defense out of the way with such ease was sickening.

Here we go. I’ve decided that I’m going to change the way I write these blogs to cater to more analysis than recap, which I feel is more interesting both to me as a writer and any reader who is a true basketball fan. Continue reading
So I have a confession to make. I didn’t watch all of the most of the Chicago game. Thus I do not have too much to say about it. However, from what I have seen, as well as the highlights and stats (which, no matter how much Bill Simmons maligns still give a good idea of how the game developed) I got a good idea of how this game played out.

Every loose ball, every rebound, every broken play ended with a Chicago dunk or 3. Continue reading
Here’s a quick rundown of how I see this playoff matchup going down:
Miami wins if: Lebron shows up… for the whole series. If Miami falls down 2-0 or 2-1, it’s going to take a lot of mental toughness to overcome Chicago’s fantastic, grinding defense. And Lebron does have a track record of quitness-ing in tough playoff positions. Miami has had multiple bizzaro stretches where they’ve completely fallen asleep for quarters, halves, games, even weeks at a time. Can’t do that in a tight playoff game. If they can muster up the desire, Miami certainly has the talent to take the series in 6. Continue reading
