I have been rather inactive in recent days on these blogs. But not without good reason; my dad returned home after another sabbatical, and the adjustments have been hard to get used to. But I assure you, even with the hectic schedule I now have, I'll still have time to post my thoughts about sports, and in particular, basketball. Speaking of which, today's post is one of what should soon reach a million that will 'predict' or 'preview' the NBA in 2008-09. This isn't going to be a real lengthy preview, considering that the player movement wasn't that vast. But I'll give my current predictions (surely to be proven wrong by April, at least) for how the teams should finish. We'll start in the Least, er, East; Eastern Conference 1. Boston Celtics: Even without Posey, they should still be the class of the East. You know that the Big 3 aren't satisfied with one ring, and that should be good for 56-60 wins. 2. Orlando Magic: They're not that much improved, but another year of experience and a weak Conference should be good enough to at least match their 2008 win total or be right around it. 3. Detroit Pistons: Sorry, Michael Curry; this team is due for a fall. They haven't changed the core that has failed in three straight Conference Finals, and they aren't getting better (certainly not 'big-time' free agent Kwame Brown), they're just getting older. I'd say about 46-50 wins at best. 4. Philadelphia 76ers: Assuming Elton Brand is healthy and me ... Source: msn.foxsports.com --- 7 days ago
Andre Iguodala is thinking big after signing a big contract. After agreeing to a six-year, $80-million deal that, with incentives, could be worth as much as $85 million to remain a 76er, Iguodala was already looking ahead to the 2012 Olympics and saying the Sixers are capable of making the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals and possibly the NBA Finals. Despite never being an All-Star, the 24-year-old Iguodala said he's confident that he'll represent the U.S. ... Source: www.moreover.com --- 7 days ago

Back in 1998 this song was inescapable. I certainly couldn't escape it, at least. I did that thing where, after graduating high school, I went to the beach for a week. (Well, I only went for a few days because I came back early for a Caps/Sabres Eastern Conference Finals game. Yes, I was really cool in high school.) Anyway, the people from my graduating class had a serious obsession with this song, so I...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry. ... Source: flyers.nhl.com --- 2 days ago

It is almost impossible now, more than two years later, to recall the sheer emotion associated with the Hurricanes' run to the Stanley Cup, how every moment seemed drenched in significance. Some of that is natural, the product of being immersed in a playoff run -- it happens with every team that wins a playoff round or two. Fans, and to a lesser extent the media, can't help but be caught up in the drama. And after it's over, it fades. Soon, even the memory becomes sepia-tinged -- certain to provoke a smile, perhaps, from a fan reminiscing about better days, but without the stomach-dropping excitement and tension that lurked around every corner. Today, the news of Julia Rowe's untimely passing brought it all back. The memory of Peter Laviolette sitting at the podium after the Game 7 win in the Eastern Conference Finals with a bottle of wine signed by Rowe, destined for Rod Brind'Amour and designed to subtly give Buffalo coach Lindy "they had champagne on ice" Ruff his comeuppance, seems as fresh today as it did that night. "When I first moved here to Raleigh 2 1/2 years ago, I became very friendly with her family," Laviolette said. "She made it through all of her chemo and went into remission and about three months ago she went back and she found out she had leukemia again. Her dad came over and gave me a bottle of wine. ... "The wristband I have been wearing through the entire playoffs says 'relentless' and the bottle of wine tha ... Source: www.eagletribune.com --- 14 days ago

It would be easy for a coach to feel down about losing five quality starters after a great 2007 season. But not John McIntyre. The Weymouth girls soccer coach may feel a little bit down after graduating Meg and Melissa Dempsey as well as Jackie Moscardelli, Jess Stuart and Alex Murphy from the school's first sectional championship team. However McIntyre, who was voted the Girls Soccer Eastern Mass Coach of the Year in first year as head coach at Weymouth, is looking forward to the year ahead. "I'm pretty excited about this season," McIntyre said. "I might be even more excited than I was last year in my first year and we are coming off the most successful season for the school. "It is going to be pretty interesting to see how we will respond as a team,” he added. “We will have some growing pains early, but we could be one of the top four teams in the league." McIntyre, who was an assistant coach under Ron Jamieson for four years before becoming head coach last year, and his senior players have an understanding of what it takes to follow up on a great season. Three years ago Weymouth lost to Marshfield in the south sectional final 3-2 with a senior-laden team. The next season, a very young Weymouth team faced the task of competing in very deep and talented Bay State Conference. "A lot of the seniors were freshmen and started on that team the year after we lost in the sectional Finals,” McIntyre said. “They really struggled that yea ...
Former Portland Trail Blazers center Kevin Duckworth died while on a trip to the Oregon Coast to host a free basketball clinic. He was 44. The Lincoln County sheriff’s office confirmed the death. He died Monday. The 7-foot Duckworth averaged 11.8 points and 5.8 rebounds over 11 seasons in the NBA, helping Portland reach the NBA Finals in 1990 and 1992. The two-time All-Star also played for San Antonio, Washington, Milwaukee and the Los Angeles Clippers. "Kevin will be remembered by fans as one of the most popular and recognizable players to ever wear the Blazers uniform, but to people who knew him, he’ll be remembered as one of the warmest and biggest-hearted," Trail Blazers president Larry Miller said. The Blazers said he was representing the team on a 19-city tour of Oregon. Duckworth was born in the Chicago suburb of Harvey and drafted by the San Antonio Spurs out of Eastern Illinois University in 1986. The Spurs traded him that season to the Trail Blazers, where he had his greatest success, playing with Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter, Buck Williams and Jerome Kersey on two Western Conference championship teams. Duckworth remained in the Portland area after he retired in 1997, doing woodwork, fishing and hunting. He ran a construction company in Northern California for a time, and a restaurant venture in Vancouver, Wash., with former NBA player Kermit Washington went out of business. He attended Thornridge High School in Dolton. ...
