Court Surfing and CanCon on the NCAA court in Spokane
This morning couldn’t have started out any worse. Blowing snow and destructive winds made me actually wish I had driven to work rather than take the five-minute walk it takes to get there. Throw in the rigors of a day where a deadline looms and I was more than ready to get home tonight and [...]

…that really didn’t take long
At first I thought it was an ESPN-created drama so I didn’t pay attention. Then I heard it mentioned on every NBA broadcast tonight, each one with a few more details than the last (thank god for court surfing on the score). Piecing together what I’ve heard, here’s what happened: after being told that [...]

Welcome to Splitsville…I mean Edmonton
On Saturday night, I rolled into the World’s Most Obviously Named Arena, the Main Gym at the U of A. The Saskatchewan Huskies were in town wrapping up their weekend series against the Bears and Pandas. The girls were closing out the first quarter, so we’ll start there.

The Nets are boring…The Nuggets aren’t.
Chris and I just watched the second half of the Nets/Hornets game and we both came to the same conclusion. The Nets are not fun to watch. In a game that was won by a Chris Paul layup with 2 seconds left, there’s really no excuse for that much boredom, but the only time the [...]

Big Z vs Kaman. Finally.
The second-best group from Cleveland is visiting the Clippers tonight and I, for one, am a little bit excited. This is the first time I’ve gotten to see the Cavs since the finals and despite their rep for being a boring team to watch, I really enjoy them. For the most part it’s Lebron, but [...]

Alan Parsons…your project was a success
Pregame introductions are tricky. Through the use of bad music and cheesey animation, the public announce team tries to make 20 000 people excited to watch sports. I’ve only seen a couple live intros, The Clippers (mediocre) and the Oilers (the use of an inflatable oil derek makes it very unenjoyable). That said, I love [...]

Jose Calderon: Thanks a f*cking lot, Sam! Raps/Magic game notes
“This is the first time the Raptors have led in this game.”
Of all the words I don’t want to hear Chuck Swirsky say, those are the ones that are irking me the most lately. That’s not even a slight against the peanut-shaped headed MLSE windbag <— that is. For the third straight game this year, [...]

Beer game, aka Raps/Bucks game notes
This was the kind of game you want to have three or four or five drinks in you to watch.
So it turned out to be appropriate to meet up with my good friend Mr. Tougas at our local watering hole to take in the Raps and Bucks game. A game that should by all accounts [...]

Half of Strombo’s face, bad Raps shooting and plenty of KG, Allen and Pierce: this is the NBA on CBC
After a crushing of their rivals (in divisional occupancy only) Friday night, the Raps welcome the suddenly mighty Boston Celtics to the ACC for a Sunday afternoon showdown. It’s also the first time that a little outfit called Texas the CBC is airing the game. It’s official: The Raps are a pretty big deal.
If the [...]
