For One Night, Three Times Better- April 25, 2008 This is the night the Washington Wizards have been waiting two years for, ever since LeBron James talked Gilbert Arenas out of a critical free throw and into summer vacation back in that Game 6, series-ending loss 24 months ago. This is the performance folks have been waiting to see the Wizards produce, one in which all-stars play like it and decide they're not going to be humiliated by one great player, even if that great player is LeBron James.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/25/AR2008042500083.html?nav=r...

An NBA Buffet- April 19, 2008 If you want to see great basketball without the pretense, without the self-righteousness that has become an inescapable part of March Madness worship, then settle in for the next eight weeks and watch the NBA playoffs. It's a postseason with greater promise, potentially better basketball and more melodrama than any season since 1998, the year Michael Jordan retired from the Bulls.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/18/AR2008041803636.html?nav=r... Round 3 To Wizards- April 18, 2008 The Boston Celtics may have the best record in the NBA and may prove over the next two months to be the league's best team. The Detroit Pistons might have the talent and the depth to add a championship ring to the one they won four years ago. But there's only one story line with sizzle in the first round of the Eastern Conference and it involves neither the Celtics nor Pistons.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/17/AR2008041704179.html?nav=r... NBA Awards Go to . . .- April 17, 2008 You don't need any kind of statistical formula to determine the NBA's most valuable player this season. You don't need plus-minus rating or an MVP index. You don't need to deal with scoring and rebounding leaders or triple-doubles or even victory differential.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/16/AR2008041603989.html?nav=r... |
