Looking Around The League

May 8 2008 - 2:10am Eastern
1. I’ll be the first to admit … I did not think the Hornets were THIS good. Chris Paul is an unreal talent and New Orleans had a fantastic year, but I did not see the Bugs manhandling the Spurs the way they have thus far.
2. Told ya so […]

I found out the same way all of you did. In fact, I found out about ten minutes later than many of you.
I was driving home from the grocery store yesterday - listening to the FAN - when I heard Jack Armstrong come on “The Chuck Swirsky Show” for a […]
In The Market For A Point Guard?
May 6th, 2008 by E. Smith
2:25am Eastern
It’s certainly not a done deal (yet) but there’s growing speculation that Toronto could trade one of their two point guards at some point during the off-season. Bryan Colangelo has said that Jose Calderon will be back and TJ Ford has said he doesn’t see himself coming off the bench for somebody for 82 […]
Round 2 Picks Are In

Alright, I’ll be the first to admit, I had an average (okay, BAD) first round with my predictions. I went 4-4.
I wad dead-wrong with the Raptors and Magic. I had Toronto winning that series.
I expected MUCH more from Dallas and Phoenix … and they BOTH got greased by New Orleans and San Antonio respectively.
And […]

1. What was the theme of ‘locker clean-out day’? From Chris Bosh, to Sam Mitchell, to Bryan Colangelo … we kept hearing how the Raptors need to improve in three areas: (1) Rebounding. (2) Defense. (3) Scoring / Finding a second scorer - a number two option - to take some of the heat […]

I just finished watching the Cavs and Wizards (BIG win by Washington) and the Celtics and Hawks (DOMINANT win for Boston) … and I realized I didn’t check-in on the blog today. I just put it on cruise control during my first full day off in nearly 9 months.
But, as the clock strikes 12:00am … I figured […]

* BRYAN COLANGELO
How do you look back at this season, right now?
“It’s a constant process of evaluating of where we are … Let’s face it, season-long we have needed to address certain things and I’m not sure that we ever did. And let’s start with the absence of (Jorge) Garbajosa. Not having that component […]

“I’m extremely […]
