June 2005

Defense Reigns Supreme In Game 7 (00:27) - It was a hard fought defensive battle as expected. Except this time it was San Antonio that tightened their defense down the stretch and Detroit that looked discombobulated. Billups had a poor game -- in no small part due to... | 0 Comments

Rasheed Atones (00:55) - A lot of the media slammed Rasheed Wallace for leaving Horry at the end of Game 5. Bill Simmons from ESPN wrote "Let the record show that Wallace's decision to leave a scorching-hot Horry to double-team Ginobili was the single... | 0 Comments

Web Browsing For Power Users (Part 1) (16:54) - Almost anyone who uses the web regularly can tell you about sites that have become so overloaded with ads, pop-ups, etc. that the actual content gets buried. Often those sites are providing useful information, but it's difficult to wade through... | 0 Comments
Big Shot Bob (02:19) - As a fan it's hard to ask for anything more. The Spurs-Pistons Game 5 was a hard fought game that went into overtime and was decided by a single point. Ultimately though, the game was decided by Robert Horry a.k.a.... | 0 Comments

Phil Jax A Laker Again (00:57) - As a Laker fan I'm not quite sure what to make of Phil Jackson's return as coach. He said a lot of negative things about Kobe in his book. The Lakers aren't likely to trade Kobe, and they are capped... | 0 Comments
Dee-troit Basket-ball! (00:19) - It's been an interesting Finals for sure. First two games San Antonio thrashed Detroit and the series looked like it might be coming to a quick end. Now the Pistons have come back to Detroit and put the smack down... | 0 Comments

Definite Signs Of Life In Motown (00:37) - Down 2-0, with their backs against the wall, the Pistons responded by sticking to Detroit basketball. Defense, extra passes on the fast break, and more defense. The tone was set by Ben Wallace early. He was blocking shots, rebounding, and... | 0 Comments

Q: VHS Or Beta? A: Yes. (Music Review) (14:17) - VHS Or Beta follow a pretty simple formula on their latest album Night On Fire. Thumping 70's disco + moody 80's new wave = new millennium dance-punk. It's not terribly original, but it makes for a fun listen. I especially... | 0 Comments
Could Be A Quick Series (02:36) - Wow. The Spurs absolutely manhandled the Pistons today. Granted their outside shooting was unusually hot, but they stifled any offensive flow the Pistons might have had. They had friendly whistles again, but the game wasn't called nearly as poorly as... | 0 Comments

Horrendous Officiating!!! (23:33) - Looks like the refs were the ones most unprepared in the first game of the NBA Finals. They are allowing a lot of contact, which is okay, but the way they are calling blocks versus charges is absolutely ridiculous. Three... | 0 Comments
The NBA Finals (16:25) - The NBA Finals begin tonight with the Spurs and the Pistons going at it. I wanted the Suns to make it, but they were outplayed by a more experienced, mentally-tough team. Let's see if Nash can keep up his MVP... | 0 Comments
