Favorite Playoff Moments - 1995 Western Conference Semifinals
Once again kids, it's time for another Waldini's favorite playoff moment. It's the '95 Western Conf Finals between the Suns and Rockets. The Rockets came back from 3-1 to win the series. This clip shows the infamous Mario Elie kiss off but what I remember most about this series is AC Green, the original 40 year old virgin and resident religious buff, declaring the series over when Phoenix was ...

NBA Playoffs - Series Insight: Lakers vs. Jazz
The Lakers were the only team to sweep their Round 1 opponent, doing away with the Denver Nuggets with relative ease. The Jazz needed 6 games to finish off Tracy McGrady and the Houston Rockets, but appeared to be in control of that entire series from start (winning the first two games in Houston) to finish. Deron Williams is definitely a key, but if the Jazz want to win, Carlos Boozer will have

The Best of the Dream Shake (2007-2008)
Lee and I continue to struggle with the concept that the Rockets' epic 2007/2008 season is over. We have to wait until October to see resident badasses Yao Ming and Luis Scola take the floor as teammates again. That's a long wait. On the flip side, ...

The Burden of Being Tracy McGrady, Part II
Many members of the media rely on pat storylines instead of actually trying to objectively analyze players and teams. That is why Tracy McGrady will probably get killed in the press for his most recent first round exit even though he led the Rockets in scoring (40 points), rebounds (10) and assists (five) in game six while playing alongside a 41 year old center and a rookie power forward.

Game 4:  Where the Rockets got hosed
Game 4: Where the Rockets got hosed
I'm not blaming the refs per se. The Rockets knew they wouldn't get any calls. They knew that the word "charge" is no longer in the rules unless Utah is on offense. Fine, no problem. We worked around it. Until the last 14 seconds where we got ...

Crucifido's Corner: Lakers vs. Nuggets (Round 1 / Game 4 4/28/08)
Crucifido's Corner: Lakers vs. Nuggets (Round 1 / Game 4 4/28/08)
The first round is over. The Lakers have swept the Nuggets, and above all - they beat them the right way – as a team. This series showed to a lot of people just why the Lakers walked away with the West’s #1 seed – team play. They of course played through Kobe, their anchor (as they should), but when all was on the line, they played together to eliminate a 50-win team in a sweep for the ...

EG Blog: Winners and Losers
TMac is a loser? Seeing TMac hanging his head as Houston are looking to continue his inability to push past the first round, one can’t help but question what is it that makes one player an eternal loser and another a winner. I’m not calling TMac a loser here either, but the man doesn’t seem to be able to get the monkey from his back. Other players have had similar labels, whilst some we ...
