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 […]

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 […]

As much as I want the San Antonio Spurs to suffer and falter, I don’t see it happening against the less-experienced Utah Jazz.
San Antonio waltzed their way to a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals. As long as Utah cannot stop San Antonio’s three-headed monster, they will continue to loss. After all, they never […]

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 fourth, […]

All game long Bruce Bowen’s hands were on Steve Nash. And they weren’t called! Except one in the late seconds. I feel for Mike D’Antoni when he exclaimed, “Why are you calling it now?!”
Yes, Fred Donahue, why now? How much are the Spurs paying you? Attention Commissioner David Stern!!! Aren’t the calls supposed to go […]

Houston Rockets superstar guard Tracy McGrady lost another play-off series, his sixth straight. I feel bad for the guy. He did his best, but his team lost focus at the end game. T-Mac was constantly double-teamed, forcing him to give up the ball, and as a result, his teammates failed to deliver, particularly Juwan Howard. […]

Houston Rockets superstar guard Tracy McGrady did not look that good at all in their second game against the Utah Jazz. But what I liked about him is he has taken full responsibility of how far the Rockets will go in the playoffs. He refers to Houston as “his team.”
McGrady has been frustrated in the […]

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 […]

No, I am not referring only to Yao Ming, but the whole Rockets team. As I watched the Suns plummet Houston earlier, I can’t help but notice their very suffocating defense. At the onset of the game, the Suns were having a hard time breaking Houston’s tenacious D. They were scrambling for loose balls and […]

The Utah Jazz are leading the NBA with a 15-5 record. They did not make the playoffs last year, but they ended last season in a high note going 7-3 in April. They ended the season at .500 in a very competitive Western Conference. If they were in the East, they could have made the […]
