I watched Lost over a course of months on G4, a run that began in October and finished in March. I loved the series when it ran originally, and enjoyed it as much this time, but, like you, Tar22, in...

When we didn't hire Phil: the moment I knew we were in trouble. Also the moment I realized Dr. Buss was really out of the picture. Did not like the Mike Brown hiring; liked D'Antoni even less. Any...

It sucks quite a bit. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing we will reload. Oh wait...young Mr. Buss seems to suck as a decision maker. (RIP, Dr. B).

Trading for Howard did not make me...

This is what I thought. I looked up the stats from this year versus 86-87, when Jordan hit for 37 a game, and there were more shots, rebounds, points and higher shooting % than now. No one played...

Jordan wouldn't hit for 100. Prior to some point, I'm not sure when, it was still considered OK to foul the other team in order to get more possessions for your teammate. (I recall the mid-80s...

Jack evokes the spirit of Logan. In 1974 or so, he would've put in the work required to play Wolverine. But as Alex indicated, by the 1980s (and with all due respect to his Joker, which I loved in...

The 87-88 squad was certainly overmatched by the Pistons. The next two years, not so much. Watching those games, it was obvious Jordan had evolved. I'm sure you remember. It appeared that he realized...

If I could go back in time, it would be to 88-89 and wish good health on Kevin Willis. Because I believe the world was robbed of the show that would've been this lineup: Nique, Moses Malone, Reggie...

Not sure what you mean by unrealistic extremes, but your characterization is exactly what I meant, Mic: MJ would've merely being a perennial All-Star and Hall of Famer. Nique is in the Hall, and,...

Wonderful game. I was glad to see Miami hold it together, and very happy that OKC almost made them choke. Interesting about Lebron: I knew he was having a great game, but it was so seamless, in the...

If that is true, that most of the people reading this will live another 88 years, I cannot imagine how crowded the Earth will be, and how ancient the United States will be. Social Security kicks in...

In my magazine career, I've dealt with the NBA a bunch of times. The people I've dealt with are cool, but they universally say the intense tension in the office comes from the top. You kind of have...

A couple of Durant's dimes off his drives were really tight. I liked how he passed to people who were not just open but also closer to the basket than him.

He was, wasn't he. I thought of what clutch means: scoring when your team needs you to score. Durant—and Westbrook—really came through.

I don't think he will (which I know makes you happy). Lebron, I think, has the misfortune of being a 3-time MVP. Those are the people we compare him too, not "most players." The one he is most like,...

You have a point, BYC, but I don't think Lebron will be compared with Jordan. Kobe took that heat. Truth be told, Lebron reminded me of Kobe in those last two games. The way he would raise up from 3...

Welcome to Brooklyn, Nets. So happy you have no first round picks this year and will likely lose Deron. Two steps back to get a running start, right.

I hope Miami and the Spurs sweep so we can get...

I've been saying this about the Spurs for years. I'm certain the 'boring' label stemmed from the Spurs being able to play their opponent's style, and beat them at it. If they played the Suns, they...

Yes, and unfortunately, I don't see any Shaquille O'Neals out there to pick up in free agency. I hope Mitch can alive the premise that the Lakers reload, not rebuild.

It's not deja vu from just last year. See 2003 vs the Spurs or 2004 vs the Pistons or 2008 vs the Celtics. When it comes to elimination games, the Lakers of the Kobe/Shaq era don't just get blown...

Last fall, I wasn't thrilled with the Lakers trade: Gasol and Odom for Paul. It was OK, but I thought our length was what set us apart. And, in the regular season, I thought picking up Sessions was a...

It's true, but I think it's unfair to compare Blake with Timmy. Blake is a good power forward. Timmy is the all-time best PF. I can only think of a few players (who I saw play) with footwork that...

No one is confusing Eric Spoelstra with Phil Jackson either. Jordan and the boys, like Kobe and the boys, never won anything until Phil took control.

I want my beloved Lakers in it, and I know what you mean about the KvL matchup. But we got Lakers-Celtics twice in three years, so that will likely have to suffice for a "Dream" match. When the...

They did one early in the season—landing a toy helicopter—so couldn't take this one.

I was very glad Bopper and Mark were out. I was SO disappointed last week when they got saved. I liked them,...
