Mo Money, Mo Insurance
Well… If that didn’t put the nail in the coffin…
Signing Carlos Delfino effectively secures our backup 2 spot, adding an Argentinian into the mix, and giving us Raptors fans, yet another player in the guards rotation. In fact, right now, it’s pretty crowded with Juan Dixon, Luke Jackson, Anthony Parker, and in a pinch, Joey [...]

Hey! Whatever Happened To Michael Dickerson?
With all the hoopla surrounding the Rolls Royce Silver Spurs’ dismantling of King James’ Chevy Cavaliers, Ryan posted some pure comedic gold a few days ago when he found a pic of Michael Dickerson’s basketball board game.
Never mind the fact that nobody plays board games anymore, it was Michael Dickerson, on the cover of a [...]
Frequent Flyer Miles and the U17
Too bad my frequent flyer miles don’t count towards trips to Venezuela. That’s because the major airlines in Brazil either don’t fly over there, or have abolished a system that in general benefited only ‘airport’ businessmen, people who wouldn’t care a bit about what will happen this week at Guanare Portuguesa, a city in central [...]
San Antonio-Cleveland: Woe Is This Series

These are the words of a mentor of mine named Ed Gregory, a former long time NBA Executive and Head Coach, when we were discussing the frame of mind of some NBA front office personnel as Draft day approached [...]
Scouting Report on Sam Mackinnon
The NBA off season is well under way, with the majority of attention centred on Greg Oden and Kevin Durant, who headline one of the deepest and most exciting drafts in years.
However, the draft is not the only avenue to sign new players, with free agency often allowing teams to grab an undrafted talent, [...]

The moment we’ve all (read: David Stern) been waiting for came and went last night, as the Cavs and Spurs opened up a multi-act drama on the NBA’s biggest stage, with Team Fundamental taking round one, by 9.
Where do I begin with this one? Well, the main thing everyone wanted to see was whether the [...]
