"I saw [Garnett] try and deny [Bosh] the ball," Calderon said. "So I knew it was my opportunity to turn the corner, so I go all the way."
Count the basket. Count the clutch free throw, too. And count the Raptors’ first win in four tries — five if you count an exhibition-season loss in Rome [...]

…..if Heath died from a drug overdose, good riddance. If he didn’t, DID THEY FINISH SHOOTING THE NEW BATMAN?!?!?
One of the new security measures used at the ACC last year was the handing out of yellow slips of paper as your "first warning" if security thought you were out of control (read: drunk and disorderly [...]

….take a few minutes tonight and read up on Martin Luther King Jr or someone else you find inspirational. Their strength and conviction will make you a better person.
Here’s a quick little article showing who bloggers think are the most deserving of this years MVP award. Seems Kobe is on the tip of tongues.
Hey, you’ve [...]

Something has happened to Bosh in the last half dozen games. Leo Rautins, colour man for some of the Raps broadcasts would have us believe Chris is finally healthy. Presumably the Christmas break finally did what not playing for the US team this summer couldn’t. With feet not giving him any grief he could play [...]

….this blog is definitely better than an Apple Air.  At least we don’t rip you off.

…..in-seat service needs to continue on during overtime games at the ACC. I was hungry and thirsty, dammit!!!!
Two things have flummoxed me today:

….I AM LEGEND.
After watching the game last night from the Worlds Most Famous Arena, I looked back fondly on their organ music, their passionate fans, their dancers….still, it left me wanting more. Sure, it was great not to be subjected to Souljah Boy three times a game, but I think the NBA could do better. [...]
