31.01.07 My Eastern All-Star Line-up
Filed: NBA Features, general
Comments: Be the first to comment

 Since I can’t do anything for the Eastern All-Stars starting five, I’ll leave it as it should be. Although, I honestly think Miami’s Shaquille O’Neal does not deserve to be in this year’s All Star game, let alone start. He has missed the whole season for Pete’s sake. But the Las Vegas event is [...]

28.01.07 Orlando, Looking Ahead No More

If the Orlando Magic’s final 22 games last season were of any indication of how things are, I should say they are where they want to be. They went 16-6 in that stretch. The Magic are 23-20 currently, second in the Southeast Division, just behind the Washington Wizards. If the playoffs were to start now, [...]

The Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns are in their own worlds right now. No other team exists except the two of them. Both are on the race for the top spot in the NBA right now. And only both teams have two double-digit winning streaks. Dallas, however, is working on a third. The Mavericks [...]

22.01.07 The Heat Is On

It’s been a while since the Miami Heat have been treading on the path to their title defense. With center Shaquille O’Neal missing all but four games this season, the Heat have not been as impressive as last season’s title campaign. They even appear to be heading to the lottery. They are below .500 at [...]

14.01.07 Phoenix in Another Spurt

Another winning streak is in the offing for the Phoenix Suns. Just like their Western Conference Rivals, the Dallas Mavericks. They are on their ninth game winning streak as they won against a tough Orlando Magic team. Dallas and Phoenix are only the two teams this season on long win streaks. Dallas had a couple [...]

11.01.07 Wizards: Streak Busters
Filed: Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, Washington Wizards, general

 They have been called many names lately, but what amply fit them are the labels, “Streak Busters” and “Giant Slayers.” Yes, they have been breaking streaks as of late, and not just any four-game winning streaks, but huge ones. For instance, when the Dallas Mavericks have gained confidence, placing things together, and have bounced [...]

9.01.07 It’s About Time, Minnesota
Filed: Minnesota Timberwolves, general
Comments: Be the first to comment

I haven’t written a single word for the past week, and I have been totally avoiding the internet in that same period as well. Since that earthquake shook Taiwan, the broadband has become real slow. Such that I have totally lost contact to the rest of the world. I haven’t checked my e-mails and this [...]

2.01.07 Nash Deserves to Start in Vegas
Filed: Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, general
Comments: 1 Comment

So far, as far as the votes are concerned, the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant and Houston’s Tracy McGrady are set to start for this year’s All-Star game to be held in Las Vegas! I have no problem with Bryant. He is popular and he is leading his team to a surprising and rousing start. He scored [...]
