So, who’s going to write a book about the Maloof brothers and this current debacle with moving and not moving the Kings? We’d love to read that.

Dirk deserves a ring. We know, we know…he’s playing for Dallas. They are the official ‘old man brigade’ of the Conference Finals and seeing Mark Cuban on an NBA Championship float through the city of Dallas would be a little weird, if not disturbing. But Dirk…that dude deserves a ring. He’s always done things the right way, he’s a gun (averaging more than 23 a game for the last 10 seasons), has played through many different Dallas teams who were potentially winning Championships but hasn’t gotten there. We’d love to see him win a ring.

Grizzlies v Thunder Game 7…who you got? Is KD going to step up and get it done? Is Z-Bo gonna throw down and put OKC away? Who would have thought at this stage of the season we would have been talking about Memphis and Oklahoma City?

We will miss Phil Jackson, there’s no one like him.

Lebron and Wade both thought about joining the Bulls…who cares! Chicago could never have brought the pair of them into the Windy City (financially) and it’s Derrick Rose’s team anyway.

We are glad Kobe is getting some rest. He and Pau must be exhausted. You can say, ‘no excuses’ you can say that the Champions will get through it. But since the end of the 2007 season, with the 2008 Olympics, regular seasons, playoffs, finals and 2010 basketball championships…Pau & Kobe have played more games & minutes than any other NBA player. No wonder they couldn’t get it done against the Mavs, Three-Peats are hard work!

Carlos Boozer was quoted recently as saying ‘nobody was talking about us at the start of the season’ trying to paint a picture that the Bulls have come outta nowhere and ‘shown them all’. Yeah right, are you kidding? EVERYONE was talking about Chicago ALL SEASON. Pack your ego away, Carlos…you are a nice player, but you are fighting above your weight as it is.

Derrick Rose is leading all scorers in the playoffs with a 28.8 per game average, that’s a little surprising, but somehow not.

OKC’s Serge Ibaka is leading the NBA in blocks per game in the playoffs with a whopping 3.82 swats a game. That’s huge.

We love Greg Monroe.

We love Coach Brett Brown, the Australian Boomers coach who is also assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs.

We love that Shane Battier is relevant again in Memphis.

That is all…
