Rate Warriors: Opinion: Addition By Subtraction: Jackson Finally Dealt

Original at San Jose Mercury News external link    Mon, Nov 16

By Adam Lauridsen Our long national nightmare is over — or at least our three-month local nightmare of a disgruntled Stephen Jackson trying to force his way off the team.  Jackson got his wish, the Warriors largely get to hit the reset button, and hopefully everyone will be better off for it.  I doubt Bell and...

Rate Kings: Opinion: Kings over Bolts 2-1....some pontification

Original at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum external link    Sun, Nov 15

By Hipcheck I am not sure there are that many coaches in the NHL who after a loss in that fashion could seem even keeled-the fact it comes from Tocchet is even more surprising giving his style as a player. One could only imagine what the reaction would have been from Marc Crawford.

By Greg Wyshynski It's a little surprising there isn't more outrage on the Interwebs over the no-goal call during the Toronto Maple Leafs' 3-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks last night. Maybe we've all accepted that inconclusive is inconclusive; maybe Leafs fans have already used up all of their indignat...

Rate SF Giants: Opinion: Offseason Decisions for the Giants, Part I: Catcher

Original at McCovey Chronicles external link    Fri, Nov 13

By Grant If the Giants somehow repeat their 2009 win total without Posey in 2010, the burning question in 2011 will be, "Gee, can we afford to start a rookie catcher with this pitching staff keeping us in contention?" This would also happen if the pitching staff implodes, mind you. It would probably...

Original at No name's space external link    Fri, Sep 25

The Indians’ pitching staff is second in the league in allowing walks and are second last in the AL in striking out hitters.  That’s a bad combination.  In essence, it says the pitchers don’t miss bats very often, and they compound that problem by falling behind in the count.

Rate LeBron James: Opinion: Cavs Build 29 Point Lead, Coast to 94-82 Win Over Pistons

Original at 20 Second Timeout external link    Wed, Apr 22

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) The Cleveland Cavaliers used a powerful three pronged offensive attack led by LeBron James plus stifling defense to race to a 29 point lead versus the sputtering Detroit Pistons en route to a 94-82 victory, placing Detroit in a 2-0 hole. James finished with game-high totals in points (29) and rebounds (13), adding six assists while committing only two turnovers. He thrilled the crowd with two sensational third quarter dunks: a two handed monster jam off of a slick bounce pass from Mo Williams at the 5:19 mark to put the Cavs up 61-44 and a two handed windmill fastbreak dunk that made the score 68-46 Cleveland with 3:27 left. Williams established playoff career-highs in points (21) and assists (seven), while Delonte West had 20 points and fo...   [read the full post]
