One group of people that I have no respect for is: frontrunners. Can't stand 'em. I've lived in Southern California my entire life, minus half of my second grade year spent in rainy Salem, Oregon, when my dad took a job with Bell Potato Chips, and have been a dedicated fan of the Big 3 LA teams: ...

What the heck was that? The game clock malfuctions at the end of Quarter 3 in Game 2 of the Pistons/Magic series...Chauncy Billups drains a 3 with the clock stuck at 4.8 seconds.... there's no way to know whether it would have counted (w/out accessing the instant replay and using a stop-watch...which is apparently too complic...

I'm not one to tinker too much with the game, but if I were commish, czar, and supreme baseball deity all rolled up into one, I'd mandate the following changes:1. Eliminate the fake-to-third-turn-to-first move by the pitcher. I've seen this work once, though it's done thousands of times and elicits boos every time from... [more]
Now that I’m finally over the 2007 season and how horribly it ended it’s time to look back and remember the good times that were had. When your favorite team wins 18 games in a season it’s hard to call it a disappoint... [more]
Got a chance to attend the Most Valuable Player trophy presentation of a one Mr. Kobe Bryant yesterday. A whole host of media were there and after Stu Lanz introduced everyone, Phil spoke, followed by Alex Fedorak the KIA Motors public relations director (who presented the trophy to Kobe) and then Mr. Bryant himself. After Ko... [more]
Well, I suppose that I am getting what I wanted. The Cleveland Cavaliers are in Boston for tonight's opening game of the second round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs against the Celtics. A month or two ago, I boldly stated that I wanted the Celtics to play Cleveland in the second round because they are so incon... [more]
Every time I read that the Giants came up with a system to beat the mighty Patriots, I cringe. Attack the Quarterback, bombard the offensive line with a variety of blitzes coming from different angles, and hit the QB, ding him up as much as possible. But isn't that the defensive philosophy which dictates victory in most footba... [more]
It's been three days now, and I still can’t get them out of my head. I was so angry when Marion got traded. And now, I feel so hopeless that all the fun and joy the Run-and-Gun Suns brought back to the league, has been destroyed with the happy-go-lucky crybaby D’Antoni probably going elsewhere and the burden that is ...

Bring on the Jazz! Those Salt Pillars are goin' down! Lakers in 6. In the other semifinal, steely Spurs over stinging Hornets in 6. Western Conference Finals: Lakers-Spurs gunslingin' showdown at the OK Corral. Lakers in 6 or 7.Meanwhile, in the East -- s'up with Boston? What part of put the effin' lowly Hawks away do ... [more]
STEVE NASH TURNS INTO PLUTO NASH posted by maniLA ice on 04/30/2008
Pluto Nash may not have been Eddie Murphy's best film but his performance in the 2002 comedy was a lot better than Steve Nash's work in the first round against the San Antonio Spurs.Take away Game 1 and Nash was simply nonexistent during the whole series and looked anything but a two-time league MVP. The so-called... [more]
Since I'm still finding a more thoroughgoing blog voice re Lakers, I thought I'd post here my reply to Kareem's informative and enjoyable post off nba.com:... [more]
Well one of the rumored trades actually went down before the draft. Kansas City sent restricted free agent, and arguably their best player, defensive end Jared Allen to Minnesota for the 17th overall pick and two third rounders. In essence, the Vikings drafted a Pro Bowl defensive end and they know they finally have the D-linema... [more]
Having my own personal blog is new to me, but being a Los Angeles Lakers fan hasn't been. I've been one for a long, long time... ever since the early 1970's. I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly. As a young fan, I was awed by the West-Chamberlain-Goodrich heydays; amazed at the Magic Showtime era, wanting t... [more]
They are finally here. After months of riveting basketball and a Western Conference race that went down to the last night of the season, they are here. Of course, I would be talking about the 2008 NBA Playoffs. The playoffs ... [more]

Detroit Pistons guard Chauncey Billups won't play in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Orlando Magic on Saturday. Pistons coach Flip Saunders says Billups wouldn't be effective because of a sore hamstring. The All-Star strained it on Thursday after getting tied up under the basket with an Orlando player.

The Orlando Magic know what it takes to beat the Detroit Pistons. Take care of the ball. Don't force shots. Find the open man. And don't get frustrated. They have done that for stretches of their second-round, best-of-seven series -- none more impressive than a 36-point third quarter in a 100-93 loss on Monday. [read full article]
