I always knew the Lakers would loose this season. They have not been fully tested until the Finals. They swept Denver, won against Utah in just six games, dominant in two wins, had it easy and some luck went their way against San Antonio. The law of averages caught up with them. For most NBA […]

Apparently, Phoenix Suns GM Steve Kerr has allowed Coach Mike D’Antoni to talk to other teams, and his most ardent suitor are the Chicago Bulls. If D’Antoni leaves Phoenix, I’d say get Jeff Van Gundy to coach this aging Suns, and have him make another run at an NBA Championship.
We all know that Kerr and […]

He is often time referred to as the “heart and soul” of the Phoenix Suns, and yes I believe he is. Every time he pulls off a 20-point output, the Suns win. Every time. Raja Bell went berserk in that 105-86 win against the San Antonio Spurs, to avoid an embarrassing, That was the kind […]

Yes, I can now see the sports headline on Monday. The San Antonio Spurs, being the much superior team that they are, will definitely sweep the Phoenix Suns on Monday.
 
Every sports analyst thought that this series will go the distance, and the winner of this series will go to the NBA Finals. And the Spurs […]

Two flops ruined it all. Yes, that flop by Fabricio Oberto sent Shaquille O’Neal to the sidelines for most of the game, and another one against Amare Stoudemire, which also eventually led to him fouling out in the first overtime.
I hate the San Antonio Spurs. They do not compete fairly on the floor. Last year, they […]

If the Golden State Warriors will win their last game against the Seattle Supersonics, they will be the team that has the best record without making it to the playoffs in league-history. Such a painful demise on their part.
They have been winning one and loosing the next game for the past 14 contests. If only […]

Kobe Bryant has just proven a point. He can’t win without a dominant big man inside!
First, he had Shaquille O’Neal for his first three championship rings, and then he missed the play-offs when the big fella left. Phil Jackson came back, and stirred the Lakers to two straight play-off appearances. But the problem was, they […]

There is a big reason why Phoenix Suns General Manager, Steve Kerr, acquired an aging 36-year-old hip-sored-big-man-who-goes-against-their-offensive-philosophy veteran in Shaquille O’Neal, and that is to match-up well against the San Antonio Spurs. And they did Sunday night in Phoenix, in a thrilling-94-87 win.
The big fella was much of a big help, as he held down […]

The New Orleans Hornets are enjoying their best season since they moved from Charlotte. Many has taken notice of Chris Paul’s amazing performance, and the team’s deep bench that steps up each game. They are currently fifth in the highly-competitive Western Conference (who would have thought?!?).
Tyson Chandler has also been playing well, his best years […]

The Phoenix Suns are once again on top of the Western Conference. They share the pinnacle spot with the surprising New Orleans Hornets. Just a week ago, the Suns traded whining Shawn Marion and an ineffective Marcus Banks to the Miami Heat for the Big Aristotle, Shaquille O’Neal.
Many skeptics sighed heavily on the season’s most […]
