Panic! In The NBA Playoffs

by John Wilmes

After a dull weekend of Game 1s, a doubleheader between Knicks/Sixers and then Nuggets/Lakers delivered an excess of drama. You never know when a basketball cult might be formed or broken.

Basketball's Best Weekend: A Review

by John Wilmes

On the Cavaliers doing to the Magic what the Knicks did to them last season, Milwaukee saving up their competitive juices, New York's rabid hustle cult, Minnesota vanquishing their playoff inexperience, a nerve-inducing game in OKC and more.

Not the most scintillating stuff, I'll be the first to admit, but it's a slow news day.

Slow day, but February 19th isn't very far away now.. things should really pick up. I wouldn't be shocked to see a 3-way deal happen with the big name guys on the block right now (allegedly). It'd be easy to make a deal that works for everyone on the court and off - it's just a matter of if the GMs have strategies and long-term plans that would allow it..
