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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I know I said last May 21, that the Detroit Pistons will finish their series against the Cleveland Cavaliers in six. I was wrong. A new “Number 23” has surfaced and proved me otherwise. LeBron James is a man on a mission, pouring 48 points in a classic double-overtime win in Detroit.
James scored 29 points […]

Lesser and lesser people are watching the NBA playoffs right now. In fact, here in our area, nobody’s watching at all. Not even Spurs fans.
The fact is the NBA is getting boring and predictable. Right now, the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs are definitely going to meet in the NBA Finals. The Spurs are […]

It’s a good thing the Detroit Pistons are up 2-0 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. But how they won those two games at their home floor is a different story.
The Pistons had to rely on their experience and Cleveland’s lack there of to scrape two close wins. Two amazingly similar three-point wins. Detroit should feel […]

It’s the first time the Cleveland Cavaliers will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals in 15 years. The last time they went here, Mark Price was still calling the shots in tight shorts and Craig Ehlo was guarding Michael Jordan, being “posterized” each time. This time, they will face the mighty Detroit Pistons.
All the advantages […]
