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 [...]
I am a die-hard Phoenix Suns fan, and it frustrates at times that they lose and they don’t show character. But I will always back them up no matter what. That Game Three loss was so painful because they did not fight back. But right now, I am satisfied and happy. Though they lost to [...]
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, [...]
Kobe Bryant put on quite a show on Christmas day, helping the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Suns, 122 -115, at the Staples Center.

Before the season even started, the Phoenix Suns have been adorned by almost everyone as the favorites for the NBA Title by the end of next year’s Playoffs. But things don’t look too good right now. They just have lost to the Atlanta Hawks, and were blown out by the L.A. Lakers on their home [...]
The Indiana Pacers bowed-off Play-off Contention last season after being in the postseason for a long time. They added Golden State cagers Ike Diogu, Mike Dunleavy Jr and Troy Murphy in the middle of last season. They appeared to be bright components for the future, and they are. Currently, they are doing so well in [...]
Reports, rumors and buzzes around the league have it the Kobe Bryant may leave the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers superstar guard had requested for a trade four-and-a-half months ago. And just a few weeks ago, Lakers owner Jerry Buss has expressed that he is now willing to ship Kobe. But where should Kobe really [...]
Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant had a great here in Manila. Filipinos had a great warm welcome for him. Wherever he goes, he is being greeted with utmost respect and hospitality. The Lakers guard is here as part of his “Supernatural Asian†tour. Manila is the first of five destinations. He had a basketball [...]
In the first half of Game One in their first round series against the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers superstar guard Kobe Bryant was spectacular. As soon as the Suns tied the game at 37-all, Kobe took over draining four consecutive jumpers, three from beyond the arc, and one being a buzzer-beater over the outstretched [...]
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 [...]
