NBA Lockout: Nicolas Batum Dunks On A Russian

Thanks to the NBA Lockout we get a glimpse of Portland Trailblazer Nicolas Batum dunking on some Russian dude during EuroBasket 2011. Now when does the NBA Preseason begin again?

The Official 2011 NBA Playoffs Schedule

40 games in 40 nights! Let’s get it! It’s NBA Playoffs time – 2011 version. This photo was surfacing around the office inbox’s and I actually thought it was funny even as a Celtics fan myself. What’s even funnier though is that these Knicks’ fans think they can actually hang with the Celtics. New York doesn’t play a lick of defense so it’ll be an easy series in 5 games, maybe 6 if we’re playing sloppy.

Derrick Rose and the Bulls will breeze through the Pacers, same with the Heat and the 76ers. The Magic will see some resistance from the Hawks but they’ll be okay too. After that though, there’s no calling it. All four teams are talented and I haven’t been this excited to see how everything plays out. There’s no clear cut front runner and every team could make a run to the championship.

On the west side (*throws up Avon Barksdale W*), I’m kinda shocked that the Nuggets have managed to do so well with out Melo and Billups and even with so many injuries in the beginning of the year. To come out of the west though I’m going to roll with young Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook to take their games to another level.  Playoffs START NOW!

Floyd Mayweather Has A Knack For PIcking Winning Sports Bets

Floyd “Money” Mayweather is about his money! As a man who lives his life of a gamble (winning fights or not), it’s to no surprise that Mayweather takes a lot of his cash winnings and throws it right back into the Vegas Sports Betting circulation to turn around and win more cash.  Almost all of his recent Twitter posts have been pictures of his winning tickets from winning $40,000 on the Portland Trailblazers to counting on Derrick Rose to win you $37,272.75 to even the Cleveland Cavaliers winning him $47,619.05 and others.

LeBron, Tony Allen & Willie Green Go HAM On The Rim

The Sportscenter editors got an easy gift of highlights last night as LeBron James, Tony Allen, and Willie Green attacked the rim with ease.  First LeBron dunked all over a helpless Othyus Jeffers last night.  It’s hard to even say he got “dunked” on because the dude was just helpless, he turned around and the ball was practically all ready in the hoop.  Then after the jump,  Tony Allen gave the Golden State Warriors something vicious while in Portland, Willie Green helped lift the Hornets over the Trailblazers with a sick putback dunk.

LeBron Breaks Nicolas Batum’s Ankles

The Heat have lost five in a row.  Yes, 5 in a row.  But as expected King LeBron James is still getting his Sportscenter Top 10 on one way or another.

Nicolas Batum Puts Darko Milicic On A Poster

Are we surprised that Darko Milicic is on the bad end of another highlight?  Not one bit. Glad to see Portland’s Nicolas Batum playing well this year.  We’ve always been a fan and think he has the potential to take it to the next level.

Paul Millsap’s Reverse Dunk on LaMarcus Aldridge

Paul Millsap caught LaMarcus Aldridge a tad bit slow last night as he hit him with the sick reverse jam.

Baron Davis Dunks All Over Joel Przybilla

A couple days late on this video but damn B Diddy dunked all over Joel Przybilla.  The Clippers got a nice little dunk squad this year from rookie Blake Griffin (technically he’s still a “rookie), underrated dunker Eric Gordon, and OG dunker Baron Davis.

Blake Griffin Starts His NBA Career With 2 Monster Dunks

Everyone get out of Blake Griffin’s way – the kid is a monster (word to Yeezy, Rozay, Hov, and Nicki)!  In his NBA “rookie” debut, he dropped 20 and 14 in a losing effort to the Portland Trailblazers but Clippers fans can get excited again especially if he’ll be making monster dunks every game like the ones above.
