		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a huge NBA guy. I like basketball a lot, but I&#8217;ll take college each and every day over the pros. I do watch NBA, though &#8211; especially during the playoffs. That being said, the playoffs this year have been amazing, and I am extremely excited about the conference championship rounds. These two series [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In many years, the NBA playoffs provide exciting rivalries, and endless close games that could’ve gone either way.  But this may be a year where the playoffs are a bit of a dry run until the two top face off in the Finals. 

Certainly in the early going in the playoffs, there seem to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tax day has come rolling around. So it’s perhaps unlikely to be thinking of Santa Claus right now. But that may be exactly what Celtics fans are doing.  Boston may be thinking with no small amount of anguish about the team they had on Christmas Day, compared with the team they have today.

		<description><![CDATA[The focus in the NBA’s first weekend of play has largely been on upsets. But it may be too soon to draw any grand conclusions from the results. That’s because playoff play is a different animal from regular season play. The difference between the two is generally underappreciated.  

There are multiple ways that adjustment [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because the NBA is such a showcase for amazing athleticism, it’s easy to believe that success in the sport is only a physical thing.
As the first weekend of playoff basketball showed, that’s not entirely true. There is a reason that coaches talk a great deal about the mental game.  This might seem a bit [...]]]></description>

The NBA and NHL post-season tournaments are on the horizon. Of course, that got me thinking about each sport’s regular season and the upcoming playoffs.

This is not your typical who will play who NBA playoff puzzle. No, this is more of a conundrum. The question around this particular problem is, “Can the NBA [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are two things that I’m thinking about concerning the conference finals.
 In the East, the Celtics beat the Pistons on the road. It was Boston’s first road win in the 2008 NBA playoffs. Boston has forged ahead 2-1 in the series, and according to history, they now have a 75% chance of taking the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve touched on it before, but I am endlessly fascinated by the home court advantage we are seeing in the NBA playoffs so far this year. San Antonio and Boston both won last night. That means that the home squad is a perfect 10-for-10 in the second round. It&#8217;s not quite as one-sided overall, but [...]]]></description>

It doesn&#8217;t really mean much on the grand scheme of things from a betting perspective, but one of my favorite things in baseball happened tonight &#8211; Minnesota&#8217;s Carlos Gomez hit for the cycle. He did it in what was an epic 13-1 beatdown of the White Sox by Minnesota. The usually solid Mark Buehrle got [...]]]></description>
