Gregg Popovich is the Coolest Head Coach in the NBA
Posted on 7 May, 2013, by Greg in BasketballWho other than Gregg Popovich will smile during an interview before a fourth quarter of a playoff game, with his San Antonio Spurs down by 12 against the Golden State Warriors? Probably no one, although David Aldridge did help him on that one. When it came to talking about Manu Ginobili hitting the game winning shot, it was all him though. More
NBA Playoffs – Grizzlies vs Thunder Game 2 Predictions
Posted on 7 May, 2013, by Greg in BasketballThe Oklahoma City Thunder don’t have their starting point guard or any kind of offensive system, but they do have Kevin Durant playing his best basketball. The Memphis Grizzlies are quite methodical on both ends of the floor, but lack that superstar who can take the game on his shoulders in the final minutes. Will it cost them a second consecutive time?

NBA Playoffs – Pacers vs Knicks Game 2 Predictions
Posted on 7 May, 2013, by Greg in BasketballThe New York Knicks are in trouble, and not just because of their game 1 loss at home curse. They’re in trouble because the Indiana Pacers have found out how to make Carmelo Anthony look pretty bad for an entire game, through their own brand of stifling defense and going for the teeth offense, and they don’t have a backup plan to counter it.

Manu Ginobili Shines & Stephen Curry Doesn’t in the Clutch
Posted on 7 May, 2013, by Greg in BasketballSometimes history is stronger than anything else: The Golden State Warriors haven’t been able to beat the San Antonio Spurs in Texas for over 16 years, so even a huge performance for most of the game by Stephen Curry eventually gets subdued by the wonderful Kawhi Leonard, while Manu Ginobili on an awful shooting night comes up with the winning shot to keep things in order.

Jimmy Butler is Superhuman, Even Compared to LeBron James
Posted on 7 May, 2013, by Greg in BasketballThere are quite a few heroes the Chicago Bulls can be proud of after shocking the NBA-viewing public and winning Game 1 against the Miami Heat – Joakim Noah by doing a little bit of everything, Nate Robinson for being once again huge in the fourth quarter despite the utter lack of faith in him from people outside the team. But it’s Jimmy Butler, for not getting a second of rest, and his incredible defense on LeBron James, that deserves more praise than anyone else. More
Chicago Bulls Winning Game 1 Wasn’t Something Anyone Expected
Posted on 6 May, 2013, by Greg in BasketballRust, fatigue or too much rest. Those are the usual excuses when a better team, the Miami Heat, coming off a first round sweep, falls at home against the Chicago Bulls, missing too many players to be taken too seriously, but comes away with a shocking win to open their conference semifinals series, thanks to nothing short of a heroic performance from Jimmy Butler, Joakim Noah, Nate Robinson and Marco Belinelli.

Chris Paul & Dwight Howard Present – The LA Exodus
Posted on 6 May, 2013, by Greg in BasketballThere are more than just two players heading into free agency in 2013, but only two are what really interests most of the NBA. Dwight Howard didn’t enjoy his first season with the Los Angeles Lakers, while Chris Paul was disappointed with how this season ended for the Los Angeles Clippers. Both of them might end up playing for someone else when the summer is over. More
New York Knicks – Why They Won’t Win Their Series With the Indiana Pacers
Posted on 6 May, 2013, by Greg in BasketballThe New York Knicks are doomed. Losing in Game 1, at home, to the Indiana Series means they have no chance to come back and claim the conference semifinal series. It doesn’t have anything to do with field goal percentage, Carmelo Anthony shooting, offensive rebounding or scoring in the paint. History paints a much simpler picture – the Knicks get knocked out whenever they lose Game 1 at home. More
NBA Playoffs – Spurs vs Warriors Semifinals Predictions
Posted on 6 May, 2013, by Greg in BasketballHoping that their two wins over the San Antonio Spurs during the regular season mean it’s an equal playing field, the Golden State Warriors enter their first semifinals series in six years as the lowest seed remaining in the playoffs, basing their faith and excitement on the incredible shooting Stephen Curry has delivered so far, infecting the rest of his teammates in the belief this is a special season. More
NBA Playoffs – Heat vs Bulls Semifinals Series Predictions
Posted on 6 May, 2013, by Greg in BasketballIs there a chance for the Chicago Bulls, with so many injured players and coming off an exhausting first round series to pull off the upset? The fact that the Miami Heat struggled against them through the regular season might prove to be the only thing that keeps them going, but eventually, it’s going to be very hard even imagining them making it through a best-of-seven series against LeBron James and a very well rested bunch of NBA champions.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in Swimsuit Calendar Photoshoot
While the Dallas Cowboys are no longer the force they used to be in the NFL, the allure and prestige of being a Cowboys cheerleader is still a thing to envy for some girls (and maybe even boys), and is generally a pleasing thing to see when the ladies join forces to create a swimsuit calender, posing in bikinis on the Mexican island of Cozumel.
