A few months ago, us NBA bloggers did a podcast to talk about Blogs With Balls. I mentioned that it wasn’t going to be a one-shot deal. We were then known as the Flagrant 5.
Well, the roster expanded. The sausage… fest grew and we are now up to EIGHT DUDES. Our name was then changed [...]

The 8th Seed (Episode 8)
Z-Bo and the Luxury of Relevance
Zachary Randolph has long been seen as an enigma – supremely talented on the court, yet extremely volatile off of it. Everywhere he has gone(or been shipped to, rather), losing follows, right? But how can a 20/10 guy for the bulk of his career be viewed as a cancer? Is it fair? What can be [...]
Lakers/Cavs Christmas Aftermath

TNLP Talks To The Dugout Sports Show
The one great thing about Christmas? Okay, besides receiving gifts (if you’re greedy, which would be me)? Or giving gifts (if you like to make people happy, which is not something I’m good at)? It’s a full day of NBA games. Five, to be exact.

#1 Cleveland Cavaliers 114 @ #3 Orlando Magic 116 (Orlando leads series, 3-1)

2009 NBA Playoffs (ECF Game 3 Recap… Sorta)
#1 Cleveland Cavaliers 89 @ #3 Orlando Magic 99 (Orlando leads series, 2-1)
This game came down to attacking. The reason why Orlando shot sixteen more freethrows than Cleveland. Yes, LeBron James shot 24 freethrows but even then, he wasn’t attacking as much. He settled for jumpers and he only made like… one?
And let’s face it. [...]
2009 NBA Playoffs (Day 24 Recap)
Admittedly, it was very hard to pay attention to these games. It was almost like a foregone conclusion that these series were going to be sweeps. Well, were they?
