The Peterson Principle 6/11/12

Tim Peterson
Ok so we can all start the chant now…OKC! OKC! OKC!
This is the best NBA Finals we could have hoped for. If you love LeBron James than you have a chance to see him win his first NBA title. If you hate him then what better place to see him lose than in the [...]

The Peterson Principle 5/14/12

Tim Peterson
Ok so I missed one this weekend. I had the Lakers to win and the Clippers to lose. Didn’t everybody? Picking the Lakers to beat Denver was a no brainer. They were at home, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum were due to bounce back from sub par games and they had the World [...]

The Peterson Principle 6/23/10

This is what some Laker "Fans" call a celebration

I will start on a couple of positive notes for today.

On The Couch: June 14, 2009

Good Sunday!
So unless the NBA has something else planned the Los Angeles Lakers should end the season today with another Title.
You would think that the Lakers would be the Dynasty team in the 2000′s with four wins in nine years.
It would also be a good thought that the fans would learn not to attempt to [...]

On The Couch: June 12, 2009

June Gloom and one step closer.
I have to tip my hand to the Lakers for the way they handled that boisterous crowd in Orlando.
It is very tough playing there with that noise.
In my experience of covering Arena Football in many of the same arenas as the NBA it is on my top five.
It isn’t that [...]
