So Shaquille O’Neal is headed to the Celtics. I wish him luck. I got many, many, many comments from fellow L.A. Laker fans saying that he’s a ring-chaser, a traitor, and that his jersey should NEVER be retired at Staples Center. What? Okay, so his “legacy will be a little tainted” because he played for [...]

A Heartfelt Letter
Being a Clipper fan is one of the hardest things to do in all of sports. Hell, in all of life. But somehow I’m still alive. After the signing of Vinny Del Negro, I had to vent to the Clipper big wigs. Here is the letter I just e-mailed them. Dear Mr. Roeser and [...]
Let The Players Play The Game
I’ve been pretty much hearing this the whole time. The Celtics got screwed with some calls. The Lakers got screwed with some calls. Well, BOTH teams got screwed by the referees. I really don’t have any intention of rewatching the game because as much as it is well-played when there are no whistles being blown, [...]
The “Obligatory” LeBron Post
You can go to any sports website or blog, especially an NBA-specialized blog like this… and you’re going to read about this one individual wearing #23 from the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James. I know that, inevitably, people are going to ask about what I THINK of LeBron James’ last performance and next move. So I’m [...]
The “Fisher Lied” Girls
Remember these girls in Game 4 of the Lakers/Jazz series? Well, they apparently called into the 1280 The Zone, a sports radio station in Utah. The women kept their names private. The “Fisher Lied” girls are apparently sisters. The younger one called first… and then the elder sister followed up. The elder sister said that [...]
Joe Johnson For Sale on Craigslist

Can anybody(*cough* Patrick Abrams *cough*) confirm if it’s cash only? And is the seller willing to meet somewhere to exchange the goods? Follow me on Twitter @illastrate [...]
OKC Thunder: We Can’t Forget Where They Came From
The Oklahoma City Thunder have spent the past 2 seasons in Oklahoma City but not before having a long, drawn-out ordeal in Seattle with a number of “attempts” by the Washington State Government to prevent the team from moving to OKC. For those of you who have not seen the brilliant documentary Sonicsgate, that covers [...]
Marcus Camby: Proud To Be A Clipper Till The End
Marcus Camby never wanted to leave Los Angeles. Imagine that. A savvy veteran wanting to finish his career with the Clippers? Only in the movies, right? Well, against his will, Marcus was dealt to Portland for the expiring contracts of Travis Outlaw and Steve Blake. Oh, and $1.5M plus Portland pays off Camby’s bonus incentives. So what it comes [...]
I Like Watching The Celtics
So people pretty much know that I root for the Lakers first and I root for the Clippers second. And I believe it was Chris Mannix from Sports Illustrated that posed this question: which five teams in the NBA do you watch the most? And, of course, my top two were obvious. But I’m sure [...]
