The Punt #35
Tomo has again showed great form, racking up another big win last week. Unfortunately nobody else was successful, with Adrian going agonisingly close to breaking his drought, only to be beaten by one goal. So, will anyone be able to get a win this week and catch Tomo? Read more…
The Final Buzzer – NBA Finals Mega Preview (29/5/11)
Another ridiculous round of playoff basketball and we finally arrive at the NBA Finals! 16 teams started and now only the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat are still standing. These two teams are your 2011 NBA finals teams. The stars aligned (not for me though- R.I.P Phil Jackson Laker era,1999-2004, 2005-2011) and we now get a 5 year on rematch of the 2006 NBA finals. Will the result be the same? Who is currently the more unstoppable force, Dirk or LeBron? Can Dirk redeem himself from the last time they faced each other in the Finals? Read more…

The Final Buzzer– Conference Semi-Final Previews (1/5/11)
What a first round! Both the East and the West put on a show for us fans! No offense to the ANBL, but seeing Kirk Penny miss 3 pointer after 3 pointer in the finals isn’t as exciting as watching Zach Randolph collect Z-bound after Z-bound. Finally the first round is finished. We saw upsets (Grizzles and Hawks, does the Mavs win count as an upset?) we saw cracks in the armour (Lakers and Russell Westbrook’s shot selection) and the Knicks celebrating getting swept in the playoffs by picking up Chauncey Billup’s $14.2 million dollar option for next year! Good times. Plus there are also plenty of things to look forward to as we enter the next round! Read more…
