The Spurs have been amazing. I can’t fathom how good they are playing. In the preseason, everyone is pumping up the Celtics/Lakers, Heat/Magic, Heat/Lakers, Thunder/Lakers matchups with all of those being interchangeable. Now, the Spurs vs Lakers is what I am most excited about, and what would you know, as if Santa came down and gave us an after Christmas treat. December 28, the two teams face off in what is to be expected the Western Conference Championship series. Of course, this is assuming both …

Entering in the NBA Season, a few questions lingered in the Southwest division. Is Chris Paul happy? Can he perform at the same level of a few years ago when the Hornets were one game away from going to the NBA Finals? Mentioning that series, San Antonio, a team almost all critics claim this is the year the age will turn sour. Wine eventually goes bad, Tim Duncan legs can’t keep going and his presence is no longer feared. So the question is, can this team …

As the Miami Heat enjoys it’s slaughtering of Phoenix last night with Chris Bosh finally showing up for game time and then ending with his ridiculous stupid comments, the man that was dealt to Minnesota for him to come there was making a game winning jumper to propel his team to a promising future.

This week has brought us some terrific hoops, story lines, and heartbreaking truths. That last one is for Knicks and Portland fans.
Trailblazer lovers have more of a reason to be upset as they will bare witness the slow but tragic fall of Brandon Roy. It won’t be immediate, but when the man plays the game of basketball with bone on bone friction, only bad things will happen. His speed will break down , he won’t be able to elevate to make his patented pull up jumper, …

There is legitimacy in New York basketball again. I can’t even hide the thesis. I am just so excited for this season. It has been almost a decade since New York fans can be excited about their New York Knickerbockers. The media is buying into this team and people actually care. It’s only been a week and a half into the season and the change is so immense. I wish basketball cities like Boston, Chicago, LA, and the entire state of Texas could see …

With all of the free agent signings and trades this offseason, the hype is gone out of control with the upcoming Thunder, healthy San Antonio, supercharged Miami, and the defending champion, Lakers. All of the attention is paid to Lebron James, Amare Stoudemire, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony, and Allen Iverson so ticket prices goes up and arenas sell out, but we are forgetting a major importance in this process. How about the coaches? Where is their love? Without them, these gents would be lost. A …

With Team USA winning the FIBA World Championship for the first time since 1994, a congratulation is in order. The team looked shaky in the beginning with different personalities and playing styles clashing, but game after game, you can see improvement. Then, they started to look like a team.
