History doesn't mean anything, to me. It's about what it is right here, right now.

I clicked on that article earlier in the day and I was thinking to myself that I've really enjoyed Hollinger's work recently (I don't have insider so I see few of his articles and most which are available I think are terrible) but that bore my socks off.

What happened to people who talk about basketball?

He didn't even mentioned anything to do with the game of basketball nevermind something specific to the Hornets-Spurs which I expected his article to be about after reading the title. He could have put up a warning sign stating dull stats ahead.

Can we get some sports writers please! It's not much to ask for from ESPN.

Yes it is too much to ask. Logical analysis of sports doesn't generate revenue. Over the top graphics, sensationalist stories, and bad reporting does. Enough about the Celtics-Cavaliers series, let's show some more Lebron James highlights, especially leave in the ones where he blatantly travels and no one calls it.

Here is a piece of history from last night (Donny Marshal I believe)

Every NBA champ has won at least three games on the road in the playoffs.

we can still do that. How about game 6 vs cavs, game 3 vs pistons, and one road win in the finals? That's not so far fetched.

Oh, I agree. 

Just putting that history out there.

reminds me of that van halen song..."right now"....wit sammy hagar...now thats a song for a celics video remix..

[Frontierboy]

History doesn't mean anything when the NBA wants topromote LeRBron as its savior since its ratings aren't the greatest in recent years after jordan retired....

They want toshow that Lebron is a dominant player like Jordan was...

Man, I'll be so annoyed in 2010 when LeBron joins the Knicks and the NBA really shoves him down our thoats.

Yeah, really ... or the blatant goal-tends he gets away with ... and the clear charges that miraculously look like "blocks" to the refs ... I have really never seen another player in the NBA that is treated with such "kid gloves", and it's getting a bit old, to say the least!

Haha so true.  Lebron is the NBA's golden boy. He gets every call to go his way 99% of the time.  Same with Kobe and Jordan back when he played with the Bulls.  While I love the Celtics  I really hate the NBA game nowadays and how they try to promote the individual instead of the team.  I don't know maybe thats just my opinion.

I agree, Scribbs (TP) ... it's a vastly different game today, with all-too-obvious priorities. The league has it's Golden Boys, and spends a great deal of time stroking them to the max. Stern has even said as much, though a bit indirectly. LeBron, Kobe, CP3, Dwight Howard, Durant, Duncan, Davis, and a few more ... all have the golden NBA "Mantle of Infallibility" that surrounds them, though the first four I listed, are really in "league" by themselves! (Sorry ... couldn't avoid the obvious horrible pun).

[johnnymost]

so, when all else fails, we resort to conspiracy threories? The Celtics have to beat the team, the refs, and Gertrude Stein (I mean David Stern)?
 
 
This year is the year that the NBA goes in one of two directions - team play vs. individual superstar play. Who wins?

He has to be treated with kid gloves or else his mommy will come out of the stands.
