Okay, I talked about power in my last post, and the way that it can be used wisely or unwisely. An example of unwise use of power can be found in any media interview with Tracy or what is it?, Trace MaGerty. He’s feeling the power when he starts talking to reporters. […]

Normally David Locke provides us with a live blog during the game. Due to technical difficulties, we won’t have that tonight. Instead please enjoy this recap.

I went to bed after Game 2 feeling content. Everything seemed ok. The game went about as I had imagined it would. The post game on TNT was very complimentary to the Jazz with Charles Barkley suggesting the Jazz can beat the Lakers. Magic Johnson even said that he always roots […]
