No morning links from Phillip today, he’s resting up from dunking over people in his men’s league. At least that’s what he told me. So, you only get my random musings… *I know it’s been a few days, but congratulations to Duke for winning the NCAA Championship. I’ve never really been a fan of the Blue […]
Laker For Life
[picappgallerysingle id=”8269024″] Earlier today, Phillip put together a great post on what it’s been like following Kobe Bryant’s career with the Lakers.

Getting Back To Playing Winning Basketball
[picappgallerysingle id=”8423316″] It feels strange to talk about needing to play winning basketball when referencing the Lakers.

Saturday Special: Fast Break Thoughts & The Final Four
[picappgallerysingle id=”8422103″] Some random thoughts on this Saturday of college hoops… *Last night’s win against the Jazz was more than just a single win. Why? Because the Spurs showed some of their classic resolve and beat the Magic (Manu torched Orlando for 43 and Duncan added another 23 to take down Orlando – wow). That […]

[picappgallerysingle id=”7391138″] Frustration reigns supreme right now. Forget creeping in, doubt has overwhelmed the dam and flooded our minds.
