The Post Up: Lakers Looks Good
SLAM Online —
Wow. Okay. Here we go. Night number one is in the books and we are underway with the 2008-2009 NBA Season. I’ve got to be honest and say that last night may have been one of the most frustrating nights in recent history. I need to give a HUGE thank you to some amazing bloggers because I almost didn’t get to see either game.
Here in Canada there is no option of getting TNT so, despite my spending a piece of my day on the phone with the cable company (thanks Stefan, my fantastic customer service guy who mad me laughing through my many questions), trying to sort out League Pass stuff, succeeding and successfully ...

We're Baaaaaack (Theoretically)
Pure Point —
Sorry for the Olympic hangover, but now that baseball is gone and basketball is back, so are we (back, not gone... for now). Not that any of you care, but here is what I have been occupied with: Moving back into school. Getting addicted to gambling on sports. Losing my bankroll by gambling on sports. Getting addicted to online poker. Exams/Homework? (Not that time-consuming) Being surprisingly good at online poker (I make more in poker than at my job, which is both great and sad). Drafting probably the worst fantasy basketball team in history in ...

Blogger MVP and ROY Rankings, Round 2
Peachtree Hoops —
The inaugural edition of this post garnered much more interest than I anticipated. Well versed in learning from my mistakes, Round 2 will be somewhat less tossed off.
First, the results, smoothly presented by Mr. Rob Mahoney at Upside and Motor.
Next, my ballot (submitted on the morning of December 1st) in full with accompanying commentary...
MVP 1. LeBron James 2. Dwyane Wade 3. Chris Paul 4. Dwight Howard 5. Kobe Bryant 6. Chris Bosh 7. Tim Duncan 8. Brandon Roy 9. Devin Harris 10. ...

It's that time of the month again to present to you my most favoritest thing in the entire universe. Ok, I guess my second most favoritest thing after CW Jr. (He's a balla.) Anyways, for the Second Edition, our fellow Bloguin Network Blogger Upside and Motor did an absolutely spectacular job hosting these rankings. Seriously, they friggin rock my socks off. Check out the Blogger MVP/ROY Rankings for this go around.

Blogger MVP/ROY Polls Round 2
The Dream Shake —
The newest Blogger poll for MVP/ROY is up over at Upside and Motor.
Here is my ballot for this week. I would have put DJ Augustin on it at 6 if it went that far.
MVP: 1. LeBron James – For his entire career I’ve said “If he can get his teammates involved he will be unstoppable”. While the assist numbers don’t show it, his passing has been otherworldly this year 2. Dwyane Wade – So much for those injuries 3. ...
Benches Stained With Tears And Perspiration
2nd Round Reach - NBA and Fantasy Basketball Commentary for the Truly Obsessed —
Well, gang, it was touch-and-go for a minute there, but we're not losing Upside & Motor after all. And it's a good thing too, or else we'd miss out on pure bloggy goodness like the Hierarchy of NBA Archetypes. I know I got a little mushy on you recently, but if you'll indulge me once more I'd like to relate something that's been on my mind. See, blogging is hard. Actually, no it's not- but blogging well is pretty hard. Certainly blogging consistently is hard. And while I'll stake no claim to either superlative for 2RR, it is ...

Escaping a Turkish Prison and other Random Thoughts
Amphibious Sports Duo —
Some of you may have noticed that I've been as prolific in my writing as Hank Moody during the first season of Californication. I've been looking for a second job, a process that can be surpassed in fun only by being interrogated in a Turkish prison. The two aren't that different. The prison offers more fezzes and better music, but the job search has the inherent advantage in both ridiculous Christmas sweaters and fake smiles. Anyhow, I'm back (thanks Cleet for doing such a good job holding down the fort) and I've got lots of thoughts on topics of all sorts. Some probably deserve full posts, but due to the ...

Anyone who has read Rob Mahoney's work at Upside & Motor and Hardwood Paroxysm knows Rob as one of the blogosphere's best young basketball writers.
