US Basketball Team Set

Blah Blah Blah we all know who’s on the team and we can sit here and talk about what bubble player should of made it, especially since there wasn’t even a try-out.
It really doesn’t matter when you have Kobe, BronBron, Melo and the Fundamental Bore that are gonna rack up at least 35 minutes if [...]

Heat Comes From the Sun - Shaq to Suns, Marion to Miami

We thought we saw the biggest trade of the season when the Lakers picked up Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown, a prospect and a draft pick. But folks, they ain’t gonna get much bigger than this.
We don’t need to get into the stats, we all know what Shaq’s done and we all know what Marion [...]

TSC NBA Midseason Awards

As the NBA season reaches its midway point, it’s time to hand out some midseason awards. 

Defensive Player of the Year: Kevin Garnett (Boston Celtics)
As some witty sportswriter predicted on this very website, the Boston Celtics are a very, very good team. They are so good that when they slipped to 34-6, there were some talks [...]

Hawks and Heat to Replay 51.9 Seconds

What? Is this a joke?
The NBA’s Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat must replay the final 51.9 seconds of last month’s game after the league ruled that the official scorer gave Shaquille O’Neal one foul too many, resulting in him being fouled out.
This means that the 117-111 win in overtime by the Hawks on December 19 [...]

Best of the Best: Part VII - Feel Good Stories

I was just reading a few sports articles, as I continued to procrastinate from school work, when I came across a story on Cleveland Cavaliers’ star LeBron James. 
Apparently, James and the Lebron James Family Foundation treated 800 locals, most of whom are homeless, to a thanksgiving dinner at Quicken Loans Arena, and then to a movie this [...]

Scott’s Thoughts

Ed Willes has his, I have mine.

I’m really glad I didn’t watch the Seahawks’ blow a 21-3 lead to Cleveland, thank you Colts and Patriots for not subjecting me to that ridiculousness, and actually letting me watch a good football game.
Apparently the GMs in the NFL that had the top five picks in the [...]

Kobe’s Krapshoot

The L.A. Lakers are in dangerous territory.
How so? Although nothing has been officially completed yet, I think everyone one knows that sooner or later, their superstar Kobe Bryant will be traded.
The big question is ‘to who’ and ‘when’.
Rumours involving Bryant has been a hot topic amongst water-cooler gatherers in the past few weeks, and it’s [...]

Greatest Sports Moments of All Time

Brought to you by ESPN, this is one of my favourite clips as it compiles some of sport’s greatest moments.
There are sections with greatest calls from broadcastors, to flashes of greatest coaches, to greatest sports pictures, it’s a complete collection. It also plays to the tune of Dream On by Aerosmith.
It’s a must watch for [...]

Thoughts of the Day

Yesterday was the first day in the existence of TSC that we went post-less. We apologize, but we were busy - mostly covering our school’s soccer provincials, where they took home the bronze medal. We even got to see a small donnybrook, nice to see in a soccer game.
Here are some thoughts from the past [...]

Best of the Best: Part IV - Never Better

Never in the realm of the NBA will there ever be a player like Michael Jordan. Never.
There will, however, be players that can come close to his talents, but to have all of the tools that MJ had is impossible to duplicate.
Lately, Kobe Bryant’s offensive skill set has been compared to that of the Air [...]

The Return of Houston to New York

Allan Houston is back practicing, and ready to return to the New York Knicks after a two year hiatus from the league due to a recurring knee problem.
Houston, or H20, was the cornerstone of the Knicks franchise in the mid-to-late nineties, and with help from a breakout playoff performance from Marcus Camby, led New York [...]

Marion Wants Out of Phoenix

On the contrary to Grossman’s demotion, this does come as a surprise.
Shawn Marion has come out publicly stating that he is sick of hearing his name in trade rumors, and it’s time for him to move on with his career.
“The Matrix” has been through everything in Phoenix. He was an all-star before Steve Nash, before [...]

Finalists Falter a Year After

Make it to the finals one year, end your season early the next.
This was a familiar scenario for all eight finalists of 2006 from the top four sports leagues in North America. What am I talking about? Here, take a look.
Let’s start off with Major League Baseball. In ‘06, the St.Louis Cardinals defeated the Detroit [...]

Celtic Pride is Back in Boston

For the first time in his career, Paul Pierce has someone to play with. No offense, Antoine Walker.
For the last six years, “The Truth” Pierce has been the backbone of the Boston Celtics. But after an abysmal season that saw the Celtics go 24-58, finishing in last place 29 games back of Detroit, GM Danny [...]
