Picking the NBA All-Star Game Reserves
Posted on 22 Jan 2013 by Warren Shaw.
The NBA All Star starters were named last week and for the most part the fans did a decent job of selecting the players who deserved to be there. It’s a flawed system so perfection can’t be expected. While the fans may have let biases cloud their decisions on a few players who will start, the coaches will try to fill out each roster in democratic and deserving fashion. Or at least so we hop...

Anatomy of Loss: Celtics fold in Game 4 defeat at the hands of the 76′ers 92-83
Posted on 19 May 2012 by Warren Shaw.
The Boston Celtics often forget the same lesson they have taught numerous teams over the years. The game is never over till its final buzzer and you have to play for 48 minutes. The Celtics lead by as many as 18 points over the Philadelphia 76′ers in Game 4 before collapsing Miami Heat style in the second half, minus the disrespecting of their coach, in a 92-83 loss. Philly outscored th...

Boston finished a closely contested series with the Atlanta Hawks 4-2 while Philly surprised the number 1 seeded Chicago Bulls 4-2 as well.

The Deserving Reserves for the 2012 NBA All-Star game
Posted on 6 Feb 2012 by Warren Shaw.
The NBA fans have done a stellar job in picking the All-Star game starters this year. I would have picked Kevin Love to start over Blake Griffin in the West but that is nothing to quibble over. Kudos are still in order for the voters' worthy selections. Now comes the hard part where the coaches have to pick the 7 most deserving reserves. The “formula” traditionally forces coaches to pick at...

Power Plays
Posted on 20 Jan 2011 by Warren Shaw.
Sometimes its better to be lucky than good. In a somewhat unexpected battle with the Philadelphia 76′ers the Orlando Magic escaped with a 99-98 victory in OT keyed by two wild & rare 4 point plays. This was a game that once again showed the team's resilient nature because quite frankly many times throughout the game they looked dead in the water. In the closing minute of regulation...

Bucks at Sixers
Posted on 13 Jan 2011 by Kevin OHanlon.
With both teams coming into tonight's game, 8 games under .500 it appears this would just be another mediocre game between two 3rd place teams heading more for the basement then for the top of their divisions. With Nocioni playing hurt Iguodala is back on the floor and in his first game back played 33 minutes. I am thinking with the team sitting 8 games under and not showing much signs of lif...
