1 Comment on Our Look At The NBA Playoffs

by Trevor Freeman

The time between the end of the NCAA Tournament and the beginning of the NBA playoffs has felt longer than usual, but maybe that is because I cannot remember an NBA postseason that had more riveting subplots. KG out. LeBron versus Kobe shaping up as a Finals possibility. Genuine sleepers led by superstars like Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul sitting on the lower half of the seeding table. There are tasty first-round matchups up and down the bracket. With the playoffs gearing up, we decided to wade into the fray and breakdown the postseason. Without further ado, here is our rankings beginning at sixteen and rolling through to our championship favorite.

Tracy McGrady: An Epidemic

By: Maurice K Dixon

How do you define it? One of those moments when something just hits you and you’re like “that’s funny (but not comical) or interesting.” I became cognizant of something that had been developing for a while now that wasn’t new just new to me.

Identifying another connection between the oft-injured Tracy McGrady and a finally healthy yet aged Grant Hill placed a look of puzzlement on my face. Wrinkles found their way onto my forehead because of the irony involving these two players.

No Comments on Despite Poor Start- Van Gundy the Perfect Man for the Job

During my two-and-a-half months as Jeff Van Gundy’s “co-worker,” I never saw him smile. Not once. As an intern covering the Houston Rockets for the team’s official Web site, I ran into head coach Jeff Van Gundy on multiple occasions — and never once saw him smile. He would smirk. He would stifle a laugh. He would furrow his eyebrows and think intensively; apparently annoyed at the line of questioning that was thrown his way.

But he never smiled.

The McMing Dynasty

McGrady and Yao. Yao and McGrady. This is fair, why? Remember how the Lakers threepeated on the strength of having the two best players in the league and a great coach? Well that’s exactly what the Houston Rockets will have soon enough. When it comes to the best inside-outside combo, they might have that already.
