15.04.08 The Pain of Almost Making It
Filed: Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors, general
Comments: 2 Comments

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 [...]

14.05.07 The End of Overachievement

No one ever expected the Golden State Warriors to romp over the number one seed, 67-win team, Dallas Mavericks. But overachievement can only take you so far. The Warriors were beaten at home by the fifth-seeded Utah Jazz, 101-115. Derek Fisher was instrumental in this one, pouring 14 of his 21 points in the decisive [...]

5.05.07 Disappointed with Dirk

I am utterly disappointed with Dirk Nowitzki. He is my second most favorite NBA player, next only to Steve Nash. He should not have blurted out those defeatist words just right before Game Four of their first round series against the Golden State Warriors. After a remarkable 67-win season, Dirk’s Dallas Mavericks bowed out of [...]

Finally, my wish came true when the Golden State Warriors thrashed the Portland Trailblazers, 120-98, ending a 13-year playoff drought. And what better drama it is to see Don Nelson facing the same team he has helped resurrected, and led to the playoffs for six straight postseasons, from 1999-2005. Well, I hate to do this, [...]

Just came back from Taiwan for a convention, and I really had a busy week. And during that stretch, I haven’t touched a computer, not even a lone keyboard. I left my HP Pavilion Notebook at home. Sigh. My mind was wandering while I was in business meetings, thinking of the coming play-offs, and how [...]

14.03.07 NBA Giants Clash as Phoenix Collides with Dallas

The top two teams in the NBA face-off in Dallas, when the Phoenix Suns and the Dallas Mavericks collide in perhaps this week’s most anticipated game. The Mavericks, though hold the edge, as they defeated the Suns in both contests this season. This includes a 101-99 victory when Dirk Nowitzki hit an eighteen-footer over Amare [...]

4.11.06 Lakers Go 3-0 With Kobe Back in Tow
Filed: Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Seattle Supersonics, general
Comments: Be the first to comment

The Los Angeles Lakers won their first two assignments for the season, against the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors without superstar Kobe Bryant. Now, Bryant suited up for the first time since recovering from an anthroscopic surgery. And he displayed the brilliance of Kobe of old, perhaps even better, except maybe for a [...]

 With Don Nelson aboard as the comebacking coach for the Golden State Warriors, expect a lot of changes for this team, who just won 34 games last season. Nelson was the coach who led this Warriors franchise to their last playoff berth in 1994, back when he had Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, young guns [...]
