It’s Hockey Night at the Seedy K-Dome.
It’s by default. No hoops. No NCAA baseball. I can’t bring myself to cyberwatch the Tigers/ Red Sox series. Boston’s already up 3-1. Ouch.
So pucks it is. Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals.
Why I say Detroit is stalwart is this. Max Talbot tallied early for the hard charging [...]
If LeBron is indeed The Chosen One, the mythos commenced last night.
Cleveland did all it could to go down 0-2 in its Eastern Conference Finals. It blew a big lead. Then in the last minute, balled like a Not Yet Ready For Prime Time playah, a Beatles cover band from Lichtenstein playing the small stage [...]

The NBA playoffs start tomorrow.
Which means a couple more months of hoops before complete withdrawal symptoms are manifest.
As a primer, understand this: In the NBA, the stars are treated like stars.
LeBron James plays 38 minutes a game. He takes it to the hoop a lot, and is generally on the boards, in his opponent’s face [...]

Okay, I don’t really mean that exactly. But I want to comment on officiating and the Simon & Garfunkel song came to mind. Always looking for a hook, you understand?
Zebras — Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em. Rim shot, please.
I’ve been watching hours of hoops over the last couple of days.( Is it [...]
For good luck, Kentucky wore black unis in their SEC tourney quarter final tilt against LSU.
The gimmick didn’t work.
Kentucky 58, LSU 67.
The Baron Adolph Rupp is surely turning over in his grave. “Now if those boys think wearing uniforms colored black are going to help them win, that’s just foolish. They just don’t know what [...]
Bob Ryan tells this story about the famous UK/ Duke regional semi-final. As it’s soaring to its stunning conclusion, and the teams are trading the lead, he grabs a piece of paper. On it he writes, “Greatest game ever?” and passes it along to the fellow scribes sitting around him.
Curt Gowdy, once the voice of [...]
Okay, so faithful reader cbcard, who I can tell ya has a thing for Tim Higgins, linked me up to a page which charts the refs who call Big East games.
If any of you hoopaholics out there have a degree from MIT or Cal Poly or based upon some other experience or expertise can decipher [...]
A few thoughts about that U of L game the other night. You know, the win over Seton Hall. (Sorry, so compelling has been the melodrama in Lexington, I simply forgot to weigh in with my not so perceptive observations on the Cards.)
With 6:13 to play, Jerry Smith, for the first time I can remember, [...]
See Jon.
See Jon walk.
See Jon walk again.
See Jon walk again.

If memory serves, Craig Wiggins was most proficient doing the hokey pokey at my Bar Mitzvah party at Fourth Avenue Roller Rink. He should be glad Jonathon Scheyer wasn’t invited. With less than a minute to go, the Dookie was trapped in the back court, with his team up three on Virginia Tech. He moved [...]
