  • Hyde5: Why Mark Cuban finally (and sadly) shut up

    1. It was a sad day for we-the-media when Dallas owner Mark Cuban zipped it up. He was a walking, talking, stalking, mocking, sqwaking - I can't keep this going - rocking quote machine. Seriously, I love his genuineness. He and I had a wonderful, e-mail give-and-take in the middle' [...]

  • Hyde5: How will Dallas cover Lebron and Wade?

    1. The national discussion, per usual around the Heat, is backwards. The big question this series is who will guard Dirk Nowitzki. The Heat has a lot of options: Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem, Joel Anthony and LeBron James. They'll no doubt use them all at differing times. Nowitzki will still' [...]

  • Hyde5: LeBron, Jay-Z and Dallas' DeShawn Stevenson

    1. When you're LeBron James, you have rivals on most every team. Boston was Paul Pierce, who tweeted out, "I had fun taking my talents to South Beach" after the Celtics' November win in Miami. Chicago was Joakim Noah, with whom he tussled while at Cleveland and talked again with [...]

  • Hyde5: Five reasons I'm again picking the Heat in 5

    1. The Dirk Nowitzki riddle isn't the big one of the series. The No. 1 media topic heading into this series will be how the Heat will stop Dirk Nowitzki. That's natural. Nowitzki is a 7-foot, acrobatic scoring machine. But the answer is easy. They'll use Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem' [...]

  • Hyde5: Five things we learned in Heat's Game 5 win

    1. This team has some magic in them. We've seen them great. We've seen them struggling. We've seen them through a lot of things. But down 12 points with three minutes left against the best regular-season team in the East? Who thought they had a chance? Dwyane Wade summed up' [...]

  • Hyde5: Is Spoelstra out-coaching NBA's coach of year?

    1. The Chicago Tribune is running an online poll asking the question: Is Tom Thibodeau being outcoached by Erik Spoelstra?"
    Fifty-seven percent of the respondents say Spoelstra is outcoaching Thibodeau. And it's true. It's just not true in the way the fans are seeing it.

    Thibodeau squeezed everything he" [...]

  • Hyde5: LeBron is the league's MVP when it matters

    1. LeBron James is the MVP when it matters. Derrick Rose deserved the MVP in the regular season. He was the one star player on the team that earned the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

    But there's regular season and there's playoffs and we're seeing up close and personal' [...]

  • Here's why Heat fans don't like Charles Barkley

    Charles Barkley is fun and loud and best understood as a pro wrestler coming off the top rope. But the are good reasons Heat fans are on him, and it's his constant fault-finding with the team since last summer.

    The Heat have given reason to lampoon them. Across the country, Barkley's' [...]

  • Hyde5: Five things we learned in Heat's 96-85 win


    1. LeBron's basketball IQ is off the charts. One of the few knocks on LeBron was that he tried to win games one-on-five in Cleveland and through a good chunk of this Heat season. In Sunday's Game 3, he could have reverted to that as the Chicago's Luol Deng [...]

  • Hyde5: Five things to watch for in Heat-Bulls Game 3

    1. James and Wade will trade off on Derrick Rose at the end of games. That's not to say it's a one-on-one game when Rose drives with the ball. The team defense is ready for him. But for the first half of Game 2's fourth quarter, Wade was the primary [...]
