On the John: Getting medieval on the Pacers
Posted on April 18, 2011 | 1 CommentMy favorite moment of Saturday’s Game 1 victory over the Indiana Pacers wasn’t Rose’s block-spin-layup sequence in the 1st quarter, or his game-tying layup-FT-layup sequence in the 4th quarter, or Noah’s consecutive blocks on Josh McRoberts in the game’s final moments.

Remembering the Sacramento Kings at their finest
Posted on April 15, 2011 | 1 CommentThe Sacramento Kings may not be in Sacramento come the 2011-2012 season. There is a move to Anaheim in the works, which is painful for those who have followed their teams through the years, including me. I watched Sacramento head coach Paul Westphal give their... -
A National Championship game to forget between Butler and Connecticut
Posted on April 5, 2011 | 1 CommentIt has been said that the Butler Bulldogs are at their best when they play poorly. Given how they had performed entering the National Championship game against the Connecticut Huskies, there is definitely some truth to that. They have scrapped their way to wins, hitting... -
Guards key in Butler-UConn improbable matchup for NCAA Championship
Posted on April 3, 2011 | No CommentsLast year, it was difficult to imagine that the Butler Bulldogs reached the title game against eventual champion Duke.

Amazing deja vu for Butler: Bulldogs reach Final Four again
Posted on March 27, 2011 | 1 CommentIn one of my brackets, which has deservedly been destroyed by the Madness, I picked Old Dominion to defeat the Butler Bulldogs in the first round. After their first round game officially began, I asked myself ‘Why?.’ It was an obvious question without a sane... -
Robinson tops Mack in the boneheaded department, and Butler unbelievably wins
