On to this week’s list, which is short but sweet, like Salma Hayek, and more difficult than figuring out
Tonight’s best game: Oklahoma City at Memphis
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies meet Wednesday night in FedEx Forum, the site of their postseason meeting last year that was undoubtedly the best game of the playoffs. The Grizzlies held a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinals after climbing out of a 16-point hole to win Game 3 in overtime. In Game 4, The Thunder desperately needed a win to reclaim home-court advantage but fell behind by 18 points in the second quarter. OKC stormed back and held
Explaining the panic in Lakerdom
When you’ve won as many championships as the Lakers have (11 since moving to Los Angeles), your fans get spoiled. And what do spoiled people do? They whine when things don’t go their way. That’s not a knock on Lakers fans, it’s just the way I see it. I spoke about that particular fan dynamic tonight on the Sportsnet 590-The Fan radio in Toronto with host Roger Lajoie, and we also touched on the uptempo style the Miami Heat are playing, the surprising struggles
Tonight’s best game: Utah at LA Lakers
By this time Wednesday, the city of Los Angeles could be in a full-blown state of panic. Forget about earthquakes, brushfires or rolling blackouts, which are the customary causes for trouble in Tinseltown. No, it’s the Lakers, who will be trying to avoid an 0-3 start when they host the Utah Jazz. It’s the second game of TNT’s doubleheader, which means everything the Lakers say and do will be analyzed by their star-studded studio panel in a way that would shame Sheldon from
Offshore power rankings: Odds to win title
Merry Christmas, all. Lots of feedback on yesterday’s inaugural preseason power rankings, with positive vibes coming out of Chicago (No. 1) and Memphis (No. 4), vitriol spewing from Jersey (No. 30). Of course, one man’s opinion is just an opinion. But there are others who take the relative strengths and weaknesses of the 30 NBA teams more seriously, because they have money riding on it. Many of those folks are offshore, spending today’s holiday on the beaches of the tiny islands where their

Kobe Bryant expects to play Sunday
As you can see from that video, it was a quiet night in the NBA as the final two exhibition games were played, Denver defeating Phoenix by 25 points despite playing without Nene, Ty Lawson, Al Harrington and Rudy Fernandez, and Atlanta defeating Charlotte by 17 despite a combined 0-for-7 performance off the bench by Tracy McGrady (0-for-4) and Jerry Stackhouse (0-for-3). So, ready or not, the 66-game NBA season is about to begin. And when then quintupleheader happens Sunday, Kobe Bryant
Predictions: Bulls will win title; Kemba Walker will be ROY
I am on the Bulls bandwagon, I think they’ll play (and defeat) the Thunder or the Grizzlies in the NBA finals, I think the MVP debate is shaping up this preseason as a three-way race between Kevin Durant, Chris Paul and Derrick Rose, and I’ve got Kemba Walker of the Charlotte Bobcats as my Rookie of the Year. The rest of the columnists at SheridanHoops.com will weigh in with their predictions tomorrow. Here is more on my 2011-12 season predictions: //
