Gibberman: Pacific division preview

Pacific Division Los Angeles Lakers Last Season: 65-17 The Los Angeles Lakers bring back essentially the same exact team in their quest to repeat as NBA Champions. The one change was signing Ron Artest to play SF and letting Trevor Ariza go. I think this is a risky move by GM Mitch Kupchack and head […]

Gibberman: Week 6 thoughts and observations

Where has the Baltimore Ravens defense gone? Who ever would have thought that the Ravens with Ray Lewis and Ed Reed on the team would ever struggle so mightily? Baltimore has given up plus 20 points in four out of their six games this season and 26 points or higher three times. They have given […]

Gibberman: Northwest division preview

Denver Nuggets Last Season: 54-28 Nuggets Head Coach George Karl deserves a ton of credit for the job he did with his squad last season. With the help of point guard Chauncey Billups he finally got Carmelo Anthony and JR Smith to buy into his program. Neither ever had a problem scoring, but both became […]

Gibberman: Southeast division preview

Orlando Magic Last Season: 59-23 The Orlando Magic made a surprising run to the NBA Finals last year behind center Dwight Howard who took his game to another level. The self-proclaimed “Superman” still needs to refine his offensive game by developing a go to move. The Magic and GM Otis Smith weren’t happy with just […]

Gibberman: Week 5 thoughts and observations

The Arizona Cardinals season was like a car tilting back and forth on a cliff and the weight was slowly shifting to the side hanging off. Then the Arizona Cardinals defense saved the season with Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie’s interception for a touchdown and then stopping the Houston Texans three times on the 1-yard line to close […]

Gibberman: Central division preview

Cleveland Cavaliers Last Season: 66-16 The Cleveland Cavaliers had a very active off-season trying to surround LeBron James with more talent. The main addition was obtaining Shaquille O’Neal from the Phoenix Suns for Ben Wallace and Sasha Palovic. This was a short term move trying to win a title this year. Both GM Danny Ferry […]

Gibberman: Week 4 thoughts and observations

The NFL has the impossible of job of balancing protecting its players and trying to not effect how the game is played. The problem is like being on a seesaw, when the weight shifts to one side it becomes off-balanced. Two questionable roughing the passer calls against Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs and defensive end […]

Gibberman: Let the games begin

The misery of another boring, forgettable NFL preseason has come to end for the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals went 0-4; these games do not count, that doesn’t matter. In 2008 the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, and Indianapolis Colts, went 1-3 or worse. The Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Seattle Seahawks went 3-1 or better. […]

Gibberman: Vick flies again

The Philadelphia Eagles made the controversial decision to bring in Michael Vick, and I applaud them for this. What Vick did was cruel, but he did his time and should be allowed to return to his job. It just happens that his work is in the national spotlight. The dynamic football player sounded sincere during […]
