Opening night in Canada - Raps/Sixers notes

Between you and me, the last half-hour I spent at work today wasn’t my most productive at Avenue. The Raptors’ home opener started at 5pm (7pm est) and I spent those 30 minutes that work and the Raps overlapped tracking how they were doing on ESPN’s site.

3 Days Away…

I feel like a six-year old on December 22nd.
Opening night is three days away. The void in my life that was created when the season ended in June is about to filled again. These are good times.  I haven’t been able to watch a lot of basketball since the 04-05 season so I’ve feel like [...]

Training camps got underway this week and all kind of teams (Phoenix, Utah, LA Lakers) are having to suffer through that uncomfortable [...]

The Dime cover curse and ESPN hyping the yet to happen

I was at Chapters last night and came across the latest issue of Dime. In light of the recent news of Greg Oden going out for the season before the thing even started, how brutal is this cover?        The thing that boggles my mind about the Oden coverage is how ESPN can run a video on [...]

Darko: “You got Serbed” plus haiku poetry

Danny and I were talking about this earlier today, but I think it’s worthy of the first of what I’m sure will be many Youtube links:    I run into a problem with Safari whenever I’m at work and I try to use video. When the program unexpectedly quits (the only one not [...]
