26.06.07 Gloomy Detroit

Some good things never last. The Detroit Pistons domination of the East, the team which starred in five straight Eastern Conference Finals appearances, including an NBA Championship Trophy in 2004, may now come to an end.
Why? All-Star point guard Chauncey Billups has opted out of his contract, leaving the Pistons with no starting fury from […]

New Phoenix Suns general manager, Steve Kerr, has an arduous task ahead: to shave off some dollars from their huge salary and luxury tax problem. The number one candidate and the guy who has been the talk of some trade deals is versatile forward Shawn Marion.
Marion has popped up in some rumors that he might […]

21.06.07 Too Young

I chose to boycott to write anything about the NBA for a week, after the team-I-hate-most won the title easily. Yes, the San Antonio Spurs swept the Cleveland Cavaliers in one of the most boring, predictable and lopsided NBA Finals ever. Talking about degeneration.
Anyway, I cannot just help but remember the sad sight in the […]

The San Antonio Spurs may have gotten away with a Game Three win against the hapless Cleveland Cavaliers, 75-72, but how they did it was damn ugly.
On a night when they were vulnerable for the first time in this series, wherein Manu Ginobili only had three points and was just 0-for-7 from the field, the […]

This is just too easy for the San Antonio Spurs. It is pretty obvious that the NBA 2007 Championship trophy is theirs for the taking. They schooled the Cleveland Cavaliers for three quarters in Game Two, relaxed a bit at the start of the fourth, then awaken by a Manu Ginobili four-point play, they stamped […]

10.06.07 Beermen Book Last Quarter Final Seat
Filed: general, Philippine Basketball
Comments: Be the first to comment

The San Miguel Beermen engineered a come-from-behind victory over the hapless Coca-Cola Tigers, 102-101. They earned the last Quarter Final berth, and will face sister-team and recent All-Filipino protagonist Brgy. Ginebra Kings in the ongoing Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Fiesta Conference. The Quarter Finals is a best-of-three battle.
Down by four, 97-101, with just 12.7 seconds […]

8.06.07 Too Much For LeBron

Comments: Be the first to comment

Â
On his first NBA Finals appearance, the young 22-year-old Cleveland superstar choked, much to everyone’s disappointment and expectation. The San Antonio Spurs’ suffocating defense was just too much for LeBron James. Sure, the familiar three players were still thrown at him. But the Spurs were just so good at it, they seemed to cover […]

7.06.07 Spurs vs Cavs

Â
I hate to discount the fact that the San Antonio Spurs are far a very better team than the Cleveland Cavaliers. Many experts claim that the Larry O’Brien is already in the Spurs bag. But I want to give Cleveland a chance.
I just want to mention this. The best thing that has ever happened […]

5.06.07 A Big Day For Gibson
Filed: general, Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers
Comments: Be the first to comment

Everyone knew the ball would go to LeBron James 90% of the time. Everyone also knew that the Detroit Pistons would clamp on James, not allowing him to get easy baskets. But no one knew that a second-round draft pick Texas rookie would outshine everyone and make big shots.
Exactly just that transpired when the Cleveland […]
