nangangamoy shortened season n nman yan just like nun 1999..
I'm just going to shoot from the hip and throw my 2 cents even though I know next to nothing about the details.
I think the players just need to suck it up and concede that the owners are hurting. This is still a recession, and everybody has to make sacrifices. I don't see any other way for the next season to push through. I'm sure they can make do with a couple less thousand dollars per pay day. But that's just me.
much better kesa naman wala.. ;)
But isn't it that its the owners themselves who brought about the problem of over-paying players? I think some owners were outbidding each other based on the player's history of performing well and his potential in the years to come?
but i think this should just apply to new contracts. It's unfair like for LeBron (even though i hate him) that he signed x amount of dollars over x number of years last yr then all of a sudden it would be changed (as the new CBA proposes significant changes in new and current contracts)
Hope also there'll be no lockout or games lost. Otherwise, next year's champion might have that asterisk beside its name. With Lebron's luck, it could be Miami. :)
In other off-season news:
* Dwight Howard wants to become a free agent after next season if Orlando does not win the title (LINK (http://www.nba.com/2011/news/06/13/dwight-howard-free-agency-future/index.html))
* Lots of trade interest in Monta Ellis (LINK (http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/sixers/20110613_Sixers_aren_t_the_only_team_interested_in_Ellis.html))
there's absolutely no walk in the park for the Miami HEAT (Hindi Effective Ang Tatlo).
I love how Dirk agreed to a pay cut just so Dallas can afford to get Cardinal and Mahinmi. Shows team oriented thinking on Dirk's part. He should serve as an example to the rest of the players of the league, but that's a long shot.
For reference:
Dallas Salaries (http://hoopshype.com/salaries/dallas.htm)

Effective naman ang Big 3 if only they knew their roles well, and if they know how to play off the ball.
Prime example is the 2008 title winning big 3 of Boston. They knew how to play off the ball (Pierce and Allen) and knew and acted their roles to the hilt (KG as defensive monster).
Sa Heat, ball dominating players sina Lebron at Wade, and Bosh is as soft as it comes, when it comes to defense.
Doesnt help too when you dont have help elsewhere. Celtics had Rondo, Perkins, Allen, Posey and Powe all contributing that season (even ring chaser Cassell and PJ Brown).
So Heat have to think what to do bout these guys Bibby, Ilgaukas, Magloire, Howard and Dampier. Thats a bunch of stiffs out there. I hope they re-sign them all. Go Riley!!!
^ Read somewhere that this is going to be a pretty shallow or weak draft, and lots of teams might just deal away their picks. But that Fredette guy from BYU looks like he's perfect for Utah. The Jazz need a scoring guard too.
Exactly true. They need protection from themselves.

You know how I know this? Because the players made $2.1 billion dollars this year … and again the owners lost $300 million. Hold on, I have their $300 million right here: Vince Carter ($17.5m), Richard Hamilton ($12.5m), Baron Davis ($13m), Jose Calderon ($9m), Gilbert Arenas ($17.7m), Rashard Lewis ($19.6m), Michael Redd ($18.3m), Matt Carroll ($4.3m), Mike Dunleavy ($10.6m), Jason Kapono ($6.6m), Andrei Kirilenko ($17.8m), Marvin Williams ($7.2m), Jared Jeffries ($6.8m), Vlad Radmanovic ($6.8m), Hedo Turkoglu ($10.2m), Boris Diaw ($9m), Marcus Banks ($4.8m), Joel Pryzbilla ($7.4m), TJ Ford (8.5m), Darius Songalia ($4.8m), Andris Biedrins ($9m), Yao Ming ($17.7m), Sam Dalembert ($13.4m), Memo Okur ($9.9m), DeSagana Diop ($6.4m), Jermaine O'Neal ($5.7m), Eddy Curry ($11.2m), Dan Gadzuric ($7.2m), Troy Murphy ($11.9m).
Problem solved. :)
is Fredette white?
he's a shoo in for utah then. ;D
(http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/2011/writers/kelli_anderson/01/27/sdsu.byu/jimmer-fredette-col-ap.jpg)
Do they have the moolah? I don't know if Dalembert (29 years young) will accept a minimum salary or Dalembert's current team (Sacramento, right?) will accept a sign-and-trade? Wala naman atang mga players (beyond the Big 3) na tatanggapin ng Sacramento. Usually, mga laos/pa-retiro na free agents ang tatanggap ng minimum salary, basta magkaroon lang ng Horcrux, este, Championship Ring. ;D
If the CBA remains the same, Miami can use their MLE. That is if Dalembert accepts it.
Yep, he's Jeff Hornacek white.

============
In the aftermath of Miami's implosion in the Finals, the rebuilding process begins. Target: Samuel Dalembert (LINK (http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/06/14/v-fullstory/2265200/miami-heat-seeks-center-eyes-samuel.html)). And probably some therapy for Lebron.
Wade for Howard.. ;D ;D ;D
Chalmers at point
Wade at off Guard
Bosh at small Forward
Haslem at power Forward
Howard at CENTER
Miller, Jones, Bibby, Anthony off the bench.
That will be an excellent line up for the Heat.
If this will ever happen....you put Bosh at PF, di sya SF. Either Miller or Jones play the 3, and Haslem is the first big man off the bench.
Wont happen though...as much as Lebron has shrinked in the Finals....they wont trade him. Pwedi pa si Bosh. What they need is someone in the mold of Tyson Chandler.....someone who will not look for shots, aggressive, shotblocking, rebounding Center. Nothing in the mold of Ilgaukas, not Dampier...not Magloire.
Problem of Heat is their salary cap is top loaded, so they wont have much leeway in signing free agents.....and it all depends on the new CBA.
--------------------------
Heat nearly won on their first try though so I surmise they will stay put and just do some minor tweaks on the roster. Chicago will improve through experience, and New York might be relevant again. Boston cant be discounted too, so its no automatic berth for the Heat for a Finals return. They'll be seeded first though at the start of the season....
Lakers 2011-2012 starting five.
Guard - CP3
Guard - KB24
Center - AB17
Forward - DH12
Forward - RA15
;D
Thats also fine putting Bosh at power forward but since he's quite athletic and has a good shooting touch, he'll be better at small forward and let Haslem the power forward slot for hassle and defensive purposes. Thats only if Miami can have Howard to man the CENTER slot.Problem is....he got burned by a slower Nowitzki so many times at the Finals....how can he guard opposing SFs, who are fast and more agile than he is......believe me, any coach in the NBA wont play Bosh at the 3.
If u were Pat Riley, will you offer LBJ for Dwight Howard?the quesion is the magic will accept this trade.centers like howard are hard to come by this days.yes,if i were riley i will trade a player like lbj for a player like howard.napag champion nga ni wade miami befre with the ageing shaq,what more with howard.
i guess this will be the best one for one trade of all time.
i think what the heat lacks in the championship series is a very competent point guard. taking aside the marvels of dirk, terry lbj, bosh and wade, the mavs got huge advantage in the PG side. the team is well orchestrated and does not panic easily as the ball movement rhough either barea or kidd is seamlessyung miami hindi kailangan ng typical point guard kasi like chicago nuon mdalas sila mj at pippen nagdadala ng bola.sa case ng miami wade and lbj likes to handle the ball alot.i think thats one of the reason kung bakit na trade si carlos arroyo for bibby.ganda sana kung nagkataon.arroyo vs barea,di ba puerto rican din si arroyo?sino kaya makakalamang kung sakali hindi na trade si arroyo?
with the heat, when lbj oir wade brings down the ball, options become limited, while lbj opted to pass all the time, this is not the kind of passing you want to see in a game certainly not passing for better offense fluidity. maybe changes in the line up is not that necessarry yet as thye have gone to the finals anyway, perhaps having a true point guard would be a good action plan, if only mike bibby can be as good as when he was with sacramento or if they decide to have chalmers as the starting guard in the coming season
only way to handle the big3...let pat riley coach the heat. hindi naman kasi issue ang kagalingan kundi ego yabang. hindi kaya ni spo rendahan esp yung dalawa.correct ka dyan sir,miami has good outside shooters like house and jones.i wonder kung bakit di sila ginamit ng mas madalas ni spoelstra.kinabahan nga ko nung ginamit si house ng matagal nung game 6 lalo na nung nagpapapasok yung tira nya sa labas.sa kabaligtaran si carlisle nung nakita nya na hindi effective si stajokovic vs miami,mas ginamit nya si cardinal and it worked for dallas.so basically masasabi ko na di ganun kagaling si spoelstra pagdating sa ingame adjustment

unang taon ni c.erik na pangunahan ang isang NBA team... handling 2 or 3 egoistic players... and umabot sa finals...
its a big achievement para sa isang first time head coach...
the big 2 (wade n bosh) and 3/4 (ehem) of miami will remain. i dont think any of them will allow it ti happen. they were together in this conspiracy. expect them to get a center. thats the missing piece. dont forget the knicks magbubuo yan for 2012 :)
unang taon ni c.erik na pangunahan ang isang NBA team... handling 2 or 3 egoistic players... and umabot sa finals...no question it is a big achievement.ang question ko lang kasi is if he has the guts to stand up to his players ego and his decision making during games

Is it true the CHI is making a pitch to trade Deng for Mayo? if this is true I don't get it. ???

pwede?
they might be needing a very good point guardkung magiging healthy si bynum next season,he will dominate the paint.agrees the la needs a good point guard
wag na nila trade si howard kunin na lang nila si nash
they might be needing a very good point guard
wag na nila trade si howard kunin na lang nila si nash
they should keep deng, but matagal na talaga nila gusto itrade yan si deng laki kasi ng contract.
maybe gusto nila gawing starting SG si mayo, he has a good shooting touch that their current SG dont have.
CHI should get Rip Hamilton from Detroit. He has an expiring contract right? plus he has the experience they need to move forward in the east. :D
hamilton would be the best fit for chi and d rose...
spot up shooter, good defender..one of the best mid range shooters ive seen in a while..
drose,hamilton,deng,boozer,noah potent starting five...or trade n lng nila si boozer kahit kay big baby...hehehehe

Boozer is a potent low post scorer but problem is his height, he's most effective when fed on drives and draws.
Another obstacle is his defense, he cant guard the opposing teams top power forward.
Or J-Rich; Free na rin ata siya.. :)

true! thats boozer's weakness. he need to improve his defense hopefully this off season.
As for D12, there was an article released from Orlando Tribute I think that he said that he won't be leaving Orlando to follow Shaq's footsteps. He has still 1 yr left in his contract and the Orlando Management needs to get great players to surround him next season to ensure he will not be leaving once his contract expires come 2012-2013 season. ;)
paano kung umalis si howard sa magic...may makauto sa knyang ibang team gaya ni lbj na mukhang inuto ng husto ni pat riley hehehehe..magaya kaya siya kay lebron na hate din siya ng mga magic fans??
LOCKOUT OR NOT. THE BALL IS ROUND. THEY MADE A MISTAKE. TEAMWORK IS THE WORD. WE HAVE TO ACCEPT. THEY WON THE GAME. CONGRATULATIONS.
CHI should get Rip Hamilton from Detroit. He has an expiring contract right? plus he has the experience they need to move forward in the east. :D
nagkaproblema yata sila nun coach niya sa pistons..
binabangko siya
^
Pre di pa expiring yung contract ni Rip, mga 2 yrs pa yun na worth $25+mil. Walang matinong team na makikipagtrade para kunin yung kontrata nya.
Ang nangyari sa Pistons ay bad management/coaching. Hindi sila makapagdecide kung rebuilding mode na ba sila o hindi. May mga player na may malaking kontrata na nakabangko lang (Villanueva/Gordon), pagktapos may mga beteranong gustong maglaro sa contending team na hindi pwede o ayaw nilang i-trade (Hamilton/Prince). Si Prince free agent na yata this yr.
Jose Barea, Dallas Mavericks - $1.7 million – Unrestricted
was supposed to ask about this guy, di na ito yung ben gordon nam magling sa chicago? he could have just stayed baka iba pa ang naging kapalaran ng bulls, it seesm nung nawala si larry brown(tama ba) nawala na itong team na ito
Hindi pa kasi contender ang Bulls noon, kaya hindi nila priority si BG. Nagtipid ang Bulls para may cap space sila para sa summer of Lebron (they ended up with Boozer). Yung Pistons naman, imbes magtipid para magkaroon ng cap space para sa 2010 free agency, ginastos na lang nila kay Villanueva at BG nung 2009.
Hindi si Larry Brown yung dahilan kung bakit unti-unting nawala ang Pistons kasi maganda naman yung record ni Flip Saunders na pumalit sa kanya. Nagsimula ata silang umasim nung tinrade nila si Billups para kay Iverson. Pagkatapos nun puro palpak na desisyon na ata ang ginawa ni Dumars.
yes, wrong decision ni dumars na kunin si iverson nun para kay billups... dun nagsimula un down fall ng pistons. same sa ginawa ni danny ainge sa pagtrade niya kay perkins for jeff green and krystic this year tpos hindi nman ginamit si green nun playoffs. lumiit boston at minalas ksi laging injured si shaq at jermaine. I'm a Miami fan pero kunin nandun si perkins nun MIA vs. BOS series malamang hanggang game 7 un..
that being said,isnt it about time palitan na si dumars?
halatang nagmadali sya dun sa pagkuha nya kay CV and BG.either nagtipid nga dapat para sa cap space,or held on to his money longer until the grade A free agents came up.(may naging kaagaw man lang ba DET kay villanueva and gordon?)
he essentially outbid his own ass.
Ainge must really like Green for some reason. Wasn't he the one who originally drafted him before trading him to Seattle for Ray Allen?
Jeff Green was the one wanted by Seattle iirc. The trade for Allen was made right before the start of the draft. So basically Ainge was drafting on behalf of Seattle.
Regarding the trade with the Thunder, Ainge originally wanted James Harden. OKC did not budge. So both GMs settled for Green.
^ see? i missed that part wherein he signed Rip to another what,25M?
they should fire his ass! ;D
Rip was the franchise player then for DET so thats ok but by letting billups go dumars destroyed the team chemistry DET had for the past 4 yrs which led them to a title in 2003. ;) bad move for dumars, DET will rebuild in the next 3 yrs and most probably they will get rid of rip's 25M salary to open up cap space..

ahhh yeah flip saunders ito ba yung sa timberwolves before( mali na naman yata ako hehehehe)
lahat yata ng dinaanan ni iverson nagulo eh sayang yung detroit after winning the champisonhip nawala na agad ang galing galing ni rip hamilton tapos bigla na lang nawala din.
by the way OT but would say din, apparently Iverson is willing to play in the PBA but for 3M dollars yata
The biggest and dumbest mistake made by Dumars was when he drafted Darko instead of a guy named Carmelo...dun pa lang dapat tinaggal na sya eh.
drafting Melo, Wade or Bosh doesnt mean na pang starting 5 caliber agad on his rookie year. They could have still played Prince and bring the rookie off the bench to get the experience needed. As it is after the championship its all bad decisions after another. Napakinabangan ba si Darko? nope. press release pa ni Dumars at that time was long term project daw so Darko but instead he turned out to be a mascot of some sort for that team. They only bring him in when they are winning by a huge margin so that he could please the crowd. If they got any of those three (Melo, Bosh or Wade) imagine what they could have become after two or three years down the line after that championship had they kept the core intact (Billups, Rip, Rasheed, Tayshaun etc).
just my opinion. Now if anybody would say that drafting Darko over any of those three is worth it then so be it.

drafting DARKO was the biggest mistake done by DUMARS and the Pistons, they should have went for MELO that time and have other teams work a good trade for him on future draft picks.
But would they have known in the first place that they had enough to win a championship that year to trade away someone like Melo for future draft picks? I still say that the Dumars' indecison on whether to rebuild or contend in the past few years has been his biggest mistake. Drafting Darko is a relatively minor one if you compare how incompetent they have been in the past few years. And besides, the drafting process itself is not an exact science. How would Dumars have known in advance that he was drafting a total bust when he drafted this guy:
But what really excites them is his mature low-post play. "More than Nowitzki, Gasol or even Divac, Darko has a nasty streak in him that will help him succeed in the post," a league executive said. "A lot of the Europeans are really threes in the pros. He'll be a true low-post player. His coach is doing us a huge favor by forcing him to develop those skills now. He already has moves that remind me of (Hakeem) Olajuwon in the post. Once we get a hold of him, the sky's the limit."
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?id=1490974
agree that the drafting process isnt really an exact science and an element of luck should be involved however Dumars wasnt thinking back then. Why would you pick someone who is halfway around the world and rarely seen by scouts as compared to Melo, Bosh or Wade who are playing in the US and their level of play has been closely scrutinized by NBA scouts? He really didnt pick a player in the forward position because he had one of the best defensive forwards at that time which shouldnt be because when the talent presents itself the GM should grab it no matter if it would be redundant. He could then decide to swing a deal naman to balance it out just in case may conflict sa playing time.
same deal with Portland before right? they chose a guy named Sam Bowie over somebody named MJ because they had Clyde on the SG position and they needed a center. Huge mistake on their part. Pero bakit si Jerry West...he traded a well established center in Vlade Divac just to get a high school kid in Kobe nothwithstanding having Eddie Jones in his prime who was a very good defensive and offensive player?
Some guys are just really good in their job and some are not.

Some guys are just really good in their job and some are not.
Prince wasn't considered a top defensive forward when Milicic was drafted. Prince was coming out of rookie season riding the pine while averaging 3.3 pts per game. Prince's rep as a defensive stalwart wasn't established until the 2004 playoffs. Larry Brown must have really liked him though. Milicic presented more of a roster redundancy than Melo because they already had Big Ben and Okur.
Strange as it may seem, GM's were really buying into the Darko hype in 2003 because of the success of European guys like Gasol and Nowitzki. Remember Nowitzki over Paul Pierce? Or maybe Olowankandi over Nowitzki? Picking local prospects over foreign ones can go both ways. Darko was a lock as a top 3 pick back then. Bosh and Wade wasn't even considered.
But aside from the Darko "blunder", didn't he turn the Pistons into one of the top 3 or 4 teams in the 00's, behind only the Lakers, Spurs and maybe the Celtics? Didn't he make good draft choices by drafting Prince late in the first round in 2002 or Okur as a late second rounder in 2001?
On the contrary, Tayshaun was playing at his prime when they drafted Darko, the Pistons just beat the Lakers and with that line up, they again played for the NBA finals but lost to the Spurs in 7 games.
For two consecutive years, the Pistons were playing very good basketball.
drafting DARKO was the biggest mistake done by DUMARS and the Pistons, they should have went for MELO that time and have other teams work a good trade for him on future draft picks.
Draft Buzz: Timberwolves make offer for Lakers' Bynum, more (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/sam_amick/06/21/draft.notebook/index.html)
Minnesota is still looking to land a high-level, impact player for its No. 2 pick, and a source said one of the Timberwolves' many trade proposals was a request for Lakers center Andrew Bynum, which involved sending small forward Michael Beasley to Los Angeles. I don't see this deal or the reported offer involving Pau Gasol actually happening, but it sheds light on the caliber of player general manager David Kahn is hoping to net for his pick.
Well, the Lakers' size advantage didn't really work out during the 2nd round of the playoffs. Maybe mgmt is will consider parting with Bynum not for Beasley but somebody like Dwight Howard. Beasley for Kardashian pwede pa ;D
any knicks fans in here? :)
A straight-up trade between Iguodala and Odom may include additional players from LA to make their salaries match. Maybe Odom + Artest?
any knicks fans in here? :)
What time start ng draft tom sa NBA premium?7:30 AM SIR ;)

Bynum has knee problems, it will be best for LA to trade him.
TAMA... saka si Kobe trade na rin nila...
para naman bumalik na ulit ako sa Lakers.
pano kung itrade si kobe sa miami? miami pa rin ba team mo? ;D
ah hindi na... most hated team na ang miami kapag andun na din si Kobe...
hindi pa ba ngayon? ;D
Sana walang lock out
sino nga ba ung #3 overall pick na naging import sa PBA? Nasa dulo ng dila ko.

May 3 way trade ang Bobcats, Sacramento and Milwaukee...
Bobcats gets 7th Overall Pick (Tristan Thompson?), Corey Maggette.
Kings gets John Salmons, 10th Overall Pick.
Bucks gets Stephen Jackson, Shaun Livingston, Beno Udrih, 19th Overall Pick.
cuban staying ahead of the game trading the 26th pick to Portland for Rudy Fernandez.wow,another great outside shooter for dallas
wow,another great outside shooter for dallasDone deal! Fernandez is going to dallas in exchange for 2 draft picks.
nash for odom ba pwede?

OT: dun sa isang boston celtics blog nakita ko dati kse Boston was eyeing Rudy Fernandez years ago via a trade. Dahil di sya masyadong sikat, yung isang member naghanap ng photo online at pinost sa thread for reference. And guess what - photo ni daboy Rudy Fernandez, haha! Me nag comment pa nga na mukhang di raw basketball player kse swabe daw yung mustache ;D! Naluha ako kakatawa!lol ;D
pabor n pabor ang lockout sa mga damatans team..lakers, spurs, mavs..
biruin mo after 40 games..playoffs n agad... :D
Done deal! Fernandez is going to dallas in exchange for 2 draft picks.
Felton and A. Miller trade also happend today.
The acquisition of Fernandez to Dallss only shows the Mavs are gearing up for a back to back title.
With Brendan and Caron back for next season the Mavs are loaded with talents.
I just hope they can move Steve Nash back to Dallas so he can be given a last legitimate shot for a Ring.
I agree that "he wasn't really effective as a backup PG" ... Not only George Hill, even Beno Udrih and others, No backup PG for Tony Parker will ever be effective, as long as the backup PG or Parker is a Spur. Nevertheless, I know George Hill (just like Udrih) will be a more effective player, Collison or no Collison, now that he is an ex-teammate of Parker.
Is Collison a pass-first PG or me-first PG? and, George Hill is definitely a PG/SG, not just PG.
sino tingin niyo mag mvp next season??
;D

yun nga bro e.how many times can you watch the bulls vs jazz finals? ;D
There really is no right or wrong in this CBA Negotiation. Both sides just want whatever, they feel, they deserve to get. The owners wants what is most profitable to them. The players wants what is most pocketable to them.
David Stern made a good point IMO when he said....When he first became commissioner, average player's salary was $250,000 to what is now at $5M to the detriment of certain NBA teams losing money. It's now time for the players to give back to the league and the owners.
Haay naku, pati NBA Fantasy naka-lockout din. ???
this is shaping up to be one boring off season. :-\
projection nila e baka abutin ng 1 FULL YEAR tong lockout!!! ???
sana PBA na lang ang LOCKOUT :D :D :D
sana PBA na lang ang LOCKOUT :D :D :D
aw... sana hindi! malaki malulugi ng NBA nyan!
oo nga! :D :D :D
yung sa channel 23 ba PBA? akala ko inter barangay na lang yun hahahahaha
sayang na delay pa ang remate ng miami?
^ This will probably start a trend for some NBA players - not the stars but the "good enough" players - to make a few bucks while the lockout is ongoing. Wonder if someone will be bold enough to come here, play for the PBA, and eat balut...
wala nang mapagusapan dito... ka asar yang lockout na yan...
girl's handball or wnba palabas sa nba premium... kaasar >:(
BTW who among you are going to see Kobe next week?
what is he going to do here anyway?dance?sing? ;D

lebron showed up to a basketball camp and after speaking to the kids, he played a few games of knockout. The kid in front of him missed and lebron missed right after him. lebron's brick bounced far to the right corner and the kid went to go make his lay up. In an effort to not get eliminated, lebron came charging back and went to dunk as the kid was shooting a layup and dunked on him knocking him over!
PHP11 million a game, for Oden.
Oh, Lebron.

NBA All-Stars vs. Smart Gilas 5?
http://sports.inquirer.net/7156/nba-all-stars-against-smart-gilas-five
This lockout may not be such a bad thing after all. But I won't hold my breath.
This I want to see. :DTama Dad mo sir napanood ko yan hehe.d ko talaga makalimutan yong bola nilagay ni CESAR sa between the legs nya tapos sinusundot ni WES UNSELD d nya mai-dribble sa haba ng kamay.
My dad told me that an NBA Team (Washington Bullets?) visited the Philippines once in the late 70's and nearly lost to a PBA selection. Can someone confirm?
Sana I can afford to buy the tickets. Di ko alam kung ako lang mag isa o isasama ko buong pamilya ;D
and is it true kobe is playing for turkey during the lockout, i heard another NBA star player is set to play in europe.
klan po un game? how much tickets?
I read about this late last week. One of Turkish team will be offering Kobe to play for them while NBA is still in lockout but Kobe did not say anything about it. As for the other NBA player, it was Deron Williams who expressed his willingness to play for the same Turkish team while there is still a lockout. :D As I remember it, the turkish team is the same team who hired Iverson last year..
meet the newest FEU Tamaraw! lol.

Chot Reyes has been hyping it up, that they're landing a big fish (not just Fisher daw). He's talking MVP and ROY. But haven't Rose and KD backed out already? So ... LeBron?
si derrick rose na ata yung isa. just saw it sa commercial kanina sa tv5.
It's confirmed.
http://www.philstar.com/SportsArticle.aspx?publicationSubCategoryId=69&articleId=707331&keyword=sp_pba
I was expecting a forward to balance out the roster. But Kobe-CP3-DRose together.. wow...
televised ba to?
@coachot tweets "Sige na nga! Si D Rose na nga! But there's still a minor hitch, so cross your fingers #smartultimateallstarweekend"
@coachot tweets "Deandre Jordan not coming due to passport problems. To be replaced by....."
@tjmanotoc tweets "@coachot so its @JaValeMcGee34? http://lockerz.com/s/121322219"
JaVale McGee is even better! He will probably average 20 blocks a game this weekend.
Kevin Durant is better. Chot just tweeted that Durant is replacing Deandre Jordan.
Kobe, CP3, D-Rose and KD!!! Parang US team na..

madami sa sulit bro. i will get upper B for 1500. 800 ang real price. nakiusap na talaga ko kasi 2K ang bentahan e. :-\
Those Sulit sellers are no different from the scalpers.i apologize. its not my intention to promote it and im aware theyre the same as the scalpers. i was just answering to the question "sino pumapakyaw" napakwento lang ako. :)
Please stop patronizing the scalping trade. Or at the very least, refrain from promoting it in this forum. Scalpers are the reason why tickets ran out faster than they should. I myself had to settle with Gen Ad tickets because I didn't want to propagate the cycle.
Just checked Chot Reyes' twitter page (http://twitter.com/#!/coachot). He just tweeted "Javale McGee!!!???!!!" What's up with this? Is he coming here as well?
totoo bang si kobe ang coach ng nba team?
I heard Butch Antonio of the MVP Sports Foundation mention that they're thinking of making it a Standing Room Only event to accommodate the demand for tickets.. nothing definite though..
Going back to the Topic of thread...... hehe.. Sana hindi naman masyado ma-shorten ang season ng NBA ngaun. Kung kelan nag pa subscribe nkmi sa NBA Premium HD saka naman baka maging short pa ang season (bukas malalaman tomorrow ata meeting ulit ng Players at Owners). :(
Start na Guys! Channel 13!
bakit parang naglalag ata?

I felt really proud that NBA stars ask a pinoy (MannyPac) for autographs and pictures. :D
anywhere we can download these games? ;D ;D ;D
yeah, iba talaga charisma ni Pac
Pacman and the Mamba. Ang classic dito e yun paalis na si Pacman, nag motion siya with his hands to Kobe to "just call me" and Mamba said yes. That was caught on the huge LED screen, much to the delight of the fans! Ibang level na talaga tong si Pacman.
Request ko lang sana next time yayain naman si Rondo ;D.
Or isang buong team na like Celtics, Mavs, Heat, or New York vs Smart Gilas din.
i really wish they could include ray allen. tapos si allan caidic naman kasama sa philippine team. :D
OT, sorry pero I just want to vent this out now and here.
The main reason nawalan ako ng ganang manuod ng PBA is precisely because wala nang pure shooters. Walang consistent outside shooters. Puro dribble iso pene di naman pasok!
Plus, just look at the current team names and their uniforms. Just try to watch a game. Ang daming nakasulat sa jersey di naman mabasa kung ano pangalang ng team! Pabago bago pa ng name, puro patawa na! Me paapoy apoy pa sa logo!
Unlike sa NBA, malinaw yung team names sa jersey. Identified mo agad yung team.

Derek must be asking where the Pacman got his haircut.
Puro dribble iso pene di naman pasok!
Natutunan ng mga noypi yan sa mga kalsada.
Tawag diyan salaksak. :D
I think pinoys prefer this because basketball rings all around the streets in the Philippines are inconsistent: minsan malaki, minsan maliit, baliko pa yung iba, lalo na yung mga nakakabit sa puno at poste.
Mahirap maging shooter kung tuwing dayo mo sa ibang lugar iba ang pag-asinta sa ring.
o.t.
eh gusto muna makapag-ankle-bender crossover at ma-feature sa play-of-the-day ;D
naalala ko mga consistent outside shooters dati- allan caidic, ricardo brown, chip engelland, bogs adornado, narciso bernardo... and shin dong pa!
ngayon puro dribble ang mga pinoy, maliit na nga maski nasa perimeter pilit pa isasaksak. sana nung panahon ni danny florencio hehehe.
may international tournament ako napanood early 2000? napakaraming beses idribol bago magshoot samantalang mga kalaban nila pagbaba ng bola dribol pasa-pasa shoot.
You forgot Fortunato "Atoy" Co, the only player in the world who will shoot an all alone 3 point shot. Ganun kakumpyansa si Fortune Cookie! Like Bogs Adornado during their Crispa days, Atoy Co is also one hell of a pure shooter. Gone also are the likes of Jun Papa and Joy Cleofas who can shoot the lights out at any given night.
And Danny Florencio? Man, one of the best little man who perfected the undergoal stab. My dad used to tell me muntik daw kunin sa NBA sa sobrang galing. Is that news true? Anyway, si Florencio eh kilay (eyebrows) lang e kumakagat na sa fake yun mga kalaban. Kaya sorry Derrick Rose, you are not the original eyebrow fake artist ( as the NBA announcers claim ). It's Danny Florencio, bro ;D
sino naman kaya balak i clothesline ni bynum next season. hehe.

Mukhang si Kobe maglalaro sa Italy.
It was released last Friday for the XBOX360 and PS3. Both Datablitz and I-tech stores.
How did we do #NBArank? We asked 91 experts to rate each player on a 0-to-10 scale, in terms of "the current quality of each player."
Top 10 (youngest to oldest): Blake 22, DRose 23, KD 23, Dwight 25, CP3 26, LBJ 26, DWill 27, DWade 29, Kobe 33, Dirk 33
At this point it would actually surprise me if the entire season is not cancelled.
One year off is bad for people like Kobe in the last year or 2 of their elite playing years. Bad for the Mavs as they will lose their momentum from winning a championship. Bad for the players who will lose a years salary. Bad for employees who will lose their jobs including businesses that depend on NBA games like arena restaurants. Bad for the NBA in general because they will lose casual and newly acquired fans as well as much of the goodwill gained from the last season.
I think there's very little upside to losing a season--except maybe to some of the owners. Plus with the anti trust lawsuit they may end up losing more than 1 season.
Looks like its gonna be a Merry Christmas for NBA fans. With a Christmas day opening featuring a rematch of the NBA finals, Celtics vs Knicks and Lakers vs Bulls! Hope the owners and players ratify the handshake agreement.3 eastern vs 1 western ::)
3 eastern vs 1 western ::)
Heat to watch the Mavs in their Opening Ring Ceremony.....Ouch!!! ;D ;D ;D

It's going to be a strange 66-game season, to say the least. I suppose each team should still play all the other teams at least twice (home and away). So that's already 58 games per team. Wonder how the remaining 8 games will be scheduled.
But as they say, now that the NBA's back, that's a nice problem to have. :)
This season will be a huge opportunity for teams with ageing rosters.
yup! especially for Boston and the Mavs! my prediction, MIA will be champions come June 2012. ;D
assuming the games where also reduced to 3 quarters only hahahahahah, peace tayo pao
seriously though, what happens to those players who signed in europe? they will not be able to play for their respective teams anymore?
They most likely included an opt out clause in their contract so they can return to the NBA if/when the lockout ended.
what are they showing na pala on NBAHD btw?i even forgot na i had it to begin with ;Dsobrang inip kana bro ah! :D
sobrang inip kana bro ah! :D

Earlier talks of a 3-way trade involving Chris Paul to LAL, Gasol to HOU, and Kevin Martin, Scola and picks to NOH have now evolved to a straight-up deal of CP3 for Bynum & Odom, according to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski's (Twitter)...
Now its Pau and Odom for CP3. This deal is only good if Howard goes to LA. I hate giving away good bigs for a PG...kahit si CP3 pa yan.
I think its a salary cut move too. Its just worrying to know if any Bynum-Howard doesnt push through, Lakers are pinning their future to two young stars with balky knees.
I dont think they will pull this off without any chances of getting dwight. Remember CP3 wants to go to NY. There must be something that changed his mind.
Bonus: Lakers Beat Boston to @CP3 ;D ;D ;D
terrible deal for the rockets, losing scola, kevmartin, goran dragic and 1st round pick for gasol

No problem with NBA not wanting to make this deal, problem is with essentially making the deal and pulling the plug when pressured not to.-Markazi
This isnt robbery..unlike the Gasol-Kwame deal..........Lakers were giving away two good bigs.
Stern was pressured by the owners....
Oh well...still a capable roster though...
I agree. It wasn't as if LA was getting CP3 on the cheap. And this was actually a solid deal for NOH. CP3 was set to walk away, and NOH would've gotten zero in return unless they made a trade now. Ang labo...
baka gusto ng NBA NY ang makakuha kay cp3?kaya nirevoke nila yung deal?

the knicks already lost their cap space for paul and used it on tyson chandler instead $58m for four years.
Pag si Paul eventually ma-trade to another big market team, kalokohan na talaga 'to...
"Who's going to trade who to whom? Who's going to pull the button on trading player or when Chris [Paul] says he has to be traded? How's that going to go? I don't know. Somebody's going to have to make a very nonjudgmental decision on that part that's not going to irritate anybody else in this league ... I don't know how they're going to do that."
The Hornets basketball decisions and day-to-day operations will continue to be controlled by team president Hugh Weber and general manager Dell Demps, but Jackson was skeptical any move made by New Orleans would be viewed as the league helping out another franchise.
"That's what everybody is going to be afraid of: Who is going to be helping who out?" Jackson said.
http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/news/story?id=5968288
Chris Paul is doing all the right things right now by essentially ‘protesting’ the decision. Paul has contacted Billy Hunter and the NBPA will use its legal powers to make the trade go through. In addition, Paul will not be attending Hornets’ training camp which will begin on Friday.
Bonus: Lakers Beat Boston to @CP3 ;D ;D ;D

knicks are back! ;D
PG nalang kulang if iwaive nga talaga si billups.

Boy! That was embarrassing huh! :D ;D
Nets have emerged as No. 1 choice for Dwight Howard, multiple sources say. D12 is expected to ask Magic to trade him to NJ.
as a laker fan, i think it's a terrible deal losing pau and odom to cp3. its a very bad deal, its hard to find dominant big man. f*ck
also i don't think kb and cp3 complement each other.
In a second shocking move today, the NBA has ruled that three-point shots taken by the Los Angeles Lakers will only be worth two points.
Commissioner David Stern's office has cited "basketball reasons" for the change, though many sources around the league believe the move was made to restore competitive balance.
It is believed Stern's office is also considering a move that would force the Lakers to play in socks, without shoes on.
Hindi naman siguro kasalanan ni Stern na hindi matuloy ang LAL-HOU-NOH trade. Kahit, gustuhin man ni Stern (since, ang nag-ma-mayari sa NOH ay ang NBA) na i-trade si CP3 sa LAL ... ayaw naman ng ibang team owners. Majority rules ... Sigurado ako, kung si Stern ang masusunod -- pipiliin niya na mag-sama sina Kobe, Howard and CP3. Kailangan kasi ni Stern na makabawi sa mga kita na nawala dahil sa lockout.
Hindi siguro puwedeng i-kumpara ang MIA sa sitwasyon ng LAL. May karapatan kasi sina LeBron and Bosh na mamili kung saan nila gustong pumirma ng kontrata at maglaro. Walang karapatan ang ibang owners na mag-reklamo.
"Who’s going to pull the button on it?" Jackson asked. "When Chris [Paul] says he has to be traded, how’s that going to go? … Someone’s going to have to make a very nonjudgmental decision on that part that’s not going to irritate anyone else in the league."
as long as sa knicks sya mapunta,di ko titingan as kalokohan.pag sa lakers,e gaguhan talaga! ;D

This is probably what the other narrow-minded NBA owners were thinking when they strong-armed David Stern to void the trade. Anybody but the Lakers...
Nets offering contract to Nene instead of howard.
talks for CP3 trade resuming.
http://sports.inquirer.net/28625/gasol-is-hoping-hell-get-to-stay-with-the-lakers
Odom traded to mavs for salary exemption.
ok,so i guess ang main reason why stern nixed the cp3 trade to LA is he wanted to maximize the hornet's selling price to potential buyers.watta punk move,downright a**holic.he should've meddled in the deal for lbj if yun lang din ang rationale nya.
didn't he figure na the cavs and raptors' trade value would plummet as well given that their stars walked out on them?idiot talaga si stern. >:(
Iba naman yung kay LBJ/Bosh, free agent na sila nung ginawa nila ang "The Decision". Si CP3, may one year pang natitira sa contract(plus player option). Ayaw yata ng mga owner na may superstar na may natitira pang taon sa kanilang mga kontrata na i-hostage ang team nila parang katulad ng ginawa ni Melo sa Denver nung isang taon. At isa pa, pag-aari ng NBA ang Hornets, ang Cavs at Raptors hindi. Nung nakaraang taon pa nga lang may nagreklamo na sa trade ng Hornets para kay Carl Landry dahil sa financial considerations, eto pa kaya.
That being said, that still doesn't make Stern's/the owners actions right. The should have pre-emptively instructed Demps on what type of deal they wanted to make instead of vetoing the proposed deal when it's nearly finished and screwing everybody involved in the process.

lol
Lakers traded Odom to the Mavs for practically nothing.... I guess "salary cap move" to land Howard.... :D
Lakers should try to get Steve Nash na i think is in the final year of his contract with the suns. Dwight Howard, okay yan talaga if they land him via trade
Ang reason daw kc mga owners nagprotests about the trade. Pero when owners were asked si dan gilbert at mark cuban lang ata nagprotest
Kaya kobe was upset because they gave odom for practically nothing plus to dallas pa. Kelangan makuha nila si howard or else hehe
ito na lang sana nawala instead of Odom.. ;D
(http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/zz198/b-filmmaker/worldpeace.jpg)
wag naman!!!!
kabibili ko lang ng jersey nya. ;D
Yeah, the Lakers do not appear to be favorites to land Dwight Howard now (unless they give up Gasol AND Bynum, which would be too much), so I hope they have a Plan C - IMO priority ang PG position.
I think Miami is still the favorite this season to win the crown (with an asterisk though). They just need to add a good center.
Sa West naman, tingin ko, humina ang Dallas after Chandler, even if they've added Odom and Vince Carter. Baka OKC pa ang makalusot sa Finals...
wala pa bang nag ke-create ng thread on 2011-2012 NBA shortened season? Let's close this thread na!baka mas magandang rename nalang ng thread starter (pao9307) yung thread :D
Clippers is offering gordon, aminu, kaman and a draft pick for cp3.and this gets approve by stern?
and this gets approve by stern?
Effin kiddin me....vs odom, scola, martin, dragic and knicks pick?
There's no formal offer. So Stern hasn't approved or disapproved anything yet.
baka mas magandang rename nalang ng thread starter (pao9307) yung thread :D
Barea seems to be heading to minnesota. Ang dami nang guards ng wolves with rubio, flynn and ridnour. Ang hilig mag collect ng wolves ng guards.
sir world peace nakalagay sa jersey na nabili mo? ;D
anong magandang ipamagat brader? ;DNBA 2011 :D
cp3 to clippers officially dead.
hopefully the clippers wont get a disgruntled gordon, just like what happened to odom.
f$%k stern! he needs retire!
NBA 2011 :D
wala ng makikipag deal dyan sa hornets, stern is power tripping. "basketball reasons" ftw!
and apparently the clips claimed billups off the amnesty waivers, so mukhang give up na talaga sila in getting cp3.
Clippers got cb4 instead of cp3
tapos most likely lalayasan lang sila ni CB after the season is over.
Carter finally signed a contract with the mavs.
Baka magretire na si billups because he made it clear na ayaw nya iclaim siya. Gus2 nya siya daw pumili ng team nya. Unless maintrigue siya makalaro si blake griffin.
why the mavs let go of all those quality players only to bring VC in is beyond me ???
anung point,to save on cap space for next year?whatever happened to defending your championship?
stupid move,imho.
Wala na ata balak sila idefend ang crown kuntento na ata na nagchampion sila. If di matuloy si cp3 or howard this season baka sila yung inaabangan ni mark cuban sa free agents for 2012.
If this were the old CBA rules, we probably would have kept everyone together. But the rules changed.
If we were able to sign everyone to two-year deals, that would have possibly changed things as well, but that wasn’t in the cards either.
What you are missing is that it’s not about the luxury tax. It’s about the ability to improve our team going forward.
The reality is that in the new system, cap room will have far more value than it had in the past. I realize that everyone is all freaked out about how and where free agents and future free agents are going, but it’s not just about getting one guy.
We are not saving cap room in hope of that one super special free agent being there. It’s about being in the position to improve every year and possibly add some significant, younger players next year and in future years.
What I don’t think people understand is that once a team hits the tax level the ability to improve our team is reduced dramatically. In addition, your ability to make trades is reduced. So basically, if we made the move to keep everyone together with five-year deals, the team we have today is going to be the team we have for the next five years. If we were a young team it would be one thing. But we are not a young team.
In the past, it was different. If we had a problem, I could fix any mistake by having Donnie find a trade and just taking on more money. That is how we got Jet, the Matrix, JKidd, Tyson. It was always about taking on more money. That trick doesn’t work any more for teams over the tax. So we have to change our approach. By getting back under the cap, we have a ton of flexibility not only for free agent signings but also trades. If we can get the right guy(s) via free agency, great. if we do it via trade, great. We have that much more flexibility to make moves.
Again, I know this is tough for all of us after winning a championship. But we still believe as much as last year we are in a position to compete for a championship.
The difference is that with this approach, we can be in a position to compete for a championship this year and to reload and continue to compete in future years.
By just signing everyone to long-term deals, there is no chance of that happening.
We won last year because we put ourselves in a position to create opportunities that brought us the right players at the right time.
We structured contracts in ways that gave us upside. The rules are different now, and while it makes it tougher this year because of the affection we have for many of the guys that are leaving, if we want the Mavs to be able to compete for championships in future years as well, it’s a hard decision, but I believe the right decision.
http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/mavericks/post/_/id/4681588/what-are-mavs-thinking-mark-cuban-explains
Wala na ata balak sila idefend ang crown kuntento na ata na nagchampion sila. If di matuloy si cp3 or howard this season baka sila yung inaabangan ni mark cuban sa free agents for 2012.
Kaya siguro pinabayaan na ng mavs umalis si barea dahil they want rodrigue beaubois to flourish as the second back up guard pag nagpapahinga si kidd
Carter to Dallas? The man is way past his prime already and if he still has it in him he needs the ball a lot. It's something that Dirk wouldn't like. If those two are on the floor chances are they wouldn't mesh. Carter is an offensive oriented player. The guy rarely plays defense and is very lazy on getting rebounds. he doesn't like to bang bodies on the paint as well.
Para lang silang kumuha ng mas malaki na Gilbert Arenas. Player such as them rarely complement another offensive player. They need to be the focal point of the offense otherwise they get disenchanted real fast. Just look at what happened with agent zero back in Orlando. Now if Carter plays off the bench and is relied upon to do the scoring for the second team then it might just work.
They lost chandler and replaced it with VC and LO. Mas better fit si Tyson Chandler sa system nila compared to the two.
i like the Vince Carter signing, if off he came off as cheap, and second of all he's not anymore the the main guy in the team. i think he will just do fine with the rick's offfense
speaking of denver ano balita dun sa mga players nila na stuck sa china? martin? jr smith? wilson chandler?
kung wala sila this season, rudy fernandez would be suitable replacements.

They need to do that now because by next year those two will be up for grabs for the teams that have the highest cap space..
latest update:
CP3 to clippers. crap.
So the LAC will have a combo guard in their starting lineup. Paul would be the 1 guard but who would be the 2 guard? Billups or Mo? Man they're loaded with guards.

hopefully Jamal Crawford signs up with the knicks. lakas nila nun!
I for one think that Clippers deal is a much better deal than the earlier one with the Lakers. It makes much better sense, rebuilding-wise. The unprotected 1st rd pick from Minnesota is huge because it gives them a pretty good chance of landing top tier talent (Anthony Davis, Harrison Barnes, Andre Drummond) in next year's draft. I think it's better to be a bad team with a lot of assets and cap space than a mediocre one (with LAL-HOU deal) with few tradeable assets and vey little cap flexibility.
If they dealt for Scola-Martin , they would've been guaranteed to barely make the playoffs or lose badly in the 1st rd. in the next few years. With the Clippers deal, they will undoubtedly be awful this year, but they will have a chance to acquire a potentially franchise changing player(or two) next year while maintaining the team's cap flexibility.
agreed.
on the flipside however,there's a very real risk involved that cp3 will only be a 'rental' player.but this makes for an exciting Clips team (has anybody said that in recent memory?) for this year at least.
cp3 and BG?deymn. ;D
if LAC will reach playoffs.. why not stay? i mean, cp3 + BG + another talent.. pwedeng maging contender. they have young legs...
loved mj as a player but he should just shut up now and do a better job with his team.
sasabihin nya against sya sa lakers trade kay cp3 tapos gusto nya mag sign si cp3 sa team nya. lol.
Jamal Crawford to sign with Blazers for one year $5m
Is Chris Paul gonna be happy with the Clippers?
He obviously wants to join the Knicks and could be contented playing along Kobe with the Lakers but the NBA isnt the PBA, the commisioner has the last say regarding trades.

He will be when the season starts. He'll be happy lobing a pass to Jordan or Blake. Or kicking out to mister "Big shot" for the long bomb.
not a good start for Kobe this season.. didn't get CP3 or Dwight.. he loses Lamar for nothing.. and now, his wife has filed for divorce..
Howard wanting the Nets? Smokescreen if you ask me. Who wants to play in New Jersey? Or Brooklyn?

Tyson Chandler signed w/ the KNICKS?
He didnt stay with the Mavs for a chance to win back to back?
Is a short season so i think the HEAT will certainly have the edge this season.
That if LBJ wont be choking again during crunch time.
If not LA, I wish there was a way for Howard to land in Chicago.

He chose the knicks because of the better offer. Apparently cuban is not willing to spend a lot of dough on him but instead saving for the free agents next season
Thats a BIG BLOW to the Mavs w/o Chandler. He's a quick athletic center that can match up with Bosh and Gasol. Even w/ Odom i dont think the Mavs can go long into the Playoffs with just Cardinal and Haywood at center. They are just too slow.nagbabawas sila .para next year may makuha sila na ok
Hopefully Knicks. Baka manghina si james andun si chander e hehe
Baron davis signs with the knicks. Assuming he gets healthy come playoff time and relieve his old form maganda laban ng knicks.

this is one signing i don't like for NY.he's almost always out of shape,unmotivated,and imho just has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. :-\
but for $2.5M for the 1st year,if he does show up healthy,this would turn out to be a steal. ;)
Problem with the D Antoni system is his team always just wana out shoot their opponents. NO DEFENSE when it comes to crunch time kya laging nasisilat sa playoffs.
After getting Kapono and McRoberts, LA signed Troy Murphy. Parang kinukula ang Lakers ah... :)
Saw the DAL-OKC pre-season game earlier. IMO it's a preview of the WCF. Ganda pa ng laro ni Odom. :'(
chicago has the best first five in the league...for me
Chicago lacks a solid WINGMAN to back up Rose. Thats the missing piece in their puzzle.
New York has a solid 4 in Chandler, Stoudamire, Anthony , Fields, ??? they need a good point guard to complete the cast and run the show for them.
it was a better decision to waive billups and sign chandler than have turiaf as your center. hehe.
I think Mike Bibby is with New York already? Pero old and slow na din to. They really need a young real point guard to distribute their offense. Or else, kakinin lang sila ni Rondo!
On the defensive end of the floor, Douglas has a stellar reputation around the NCAA—being named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year last week. He displays very good lateral quickness, which combined with his strength and wingspan, should make his transition to the next level easier. He has an aggressive mentality on the defensive end, constantly pressuring the ball, and proving to be one of the most relentless defenders in college basketball. This aggressive style of play also results in him getting beaten off of the dribble, though in fairness, it is very effective in Florida State's team defensive scheme considering the shot-blockers he has playing behind him.
Emerging as a defensive force in his junior season, Douglas set school and conference records for steals

Lakers radio announcer claims that Dwight Howard on the verge of being traded to Nets dlvr.it/11HnC4
According to Lakers play by play announcer John Ireland it appears the New Jersey Nets are going to land Dwight Howard as soon as tomorrow.
On 710 ESPN Radio Ireland stated that he heard a rumor from a source that Howard to the Nets would go down as early as Tuesday.
-----
Source confirms Andrei Kirilenko on his way to leave CSKA Moscow and join New Jersey Nets to sign multi-year deal
-----
Yahoo! Confirms: Nets to sign Kris Humphries for one year at $7-8 million dlvr.it/11R3Mz
Kris Humphries and the New Jersey Nets are finalizing a one-year contract that will pay him between $7 million-$8 million, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Humphries is expected to sign the contract Tuesday and be in uniform for Wednesday’s preseason game.
^ pacers pwede pa.im pegging them as a 5 seed sa playoffs.

Let's not forget - Darko Milicic!
No news on the DH trade to NJ?
I've been searching the internet but so talks about that trade yet.
Mehmet okur traded to nets for draft pick.
Nets also sign deshawn stevenson

Sali ka sir, pede pa ata tayo umabot ng 14.
Monster game for Rondo, 31 pts, 13 assists but boston fell short and the knicks won 106-104 behind melo's 37pts.
my forecast for this season's NBA FINALS:
OKC vs MIAMI
Bulls yan!!pag napunta Dwight Howard...game over
One possible scenario, according to ESPN, is Noah+Boozer+Brewer+picks for DH.
Pero ayaw daw ng Adidas na magsama si DRose at DH sa isang team.
i agree! lakas din ng OKC! pero MIAMI yan this year. ;)
Tambakers na naman dallas ayayay. Me championship hangover pa ata.
They really need a big man who can defend the rim and rebound. Man they are -13 from the rebounds and the their defense is worse. Denver is shooting like 57% from the field. This is just like last season where they stuggled early on the season and came to life in the Playoffs and took home the Championship. Still have high hopes for Dallas though. :D
If I know Mark Cuban he has something on his sleeve that is why he let go and didnt even bother to sign those 3 although they would have been crucial in thier repeat bid... I won't be surprised if D12 or D-Will or even both players end up in BIG D eventually.... I can feel it something big is coming up...

LAL about to lose (again), this time to SAC...sigh!! Lots of individual plays...Defense doesn't click...LAL misses Lamar, argh!
WE WANT THE TRIANGLE BACK!!!
LAL about to lose (again), this time to SAC...sigh!! Lots of individual plays...Defense doesn't click...LAL misses Lamar, argh!

Or perhaps they miss the Zen Master,...
I can only agree...
LAL w/o Pjax, w/o Lamar...Oh well! :(
Mike Brown, good luck to you...with all your individualistic plays, there will be more injuries...Imagine if Lamar stayed, then the entry of McBob and Troy? It could have been a "better" team vs. last year...I guess the Zen Master and his Triangle is being sorely missed...SIGH! >:(
I have a feeling that LA will have one solid acquisition halfway this season. If they want to reach the finals again. Sayang talaga yun CP3 trade. Ibang istorya siguro kung si CP3 nasa Lakers :(
I think they would start the same way even if the trade was approved.. No Gasol/Odom/Bynum and only CP3 added? tapos Kobe and CP3 don't complement each other pa.. still just 2 games in.. a lot could still happen kahit na 66-game season lang.. I still think they will be contenders even with just Kobe/Pau/Bynum.. dapat healthy lang lahat..
Lakers still have a decent line up. Some new players, a New Coach, perhaps they just need to be familiar with one another.
Bynum, Gasol, Artest, Bryant, and Fisher is a solid 5 for LA.
They do heve the energy guys off the bench in McBob, Barnes, Blake and the newbies.
We'll see if they can gel in due time and not continue to lose and frustrate Bryant.
I hope they gel quickly as fast as how announcers got used to "Metta World Peace"!! He scored 19 pts earlier, by the way...
hmm... mukhang palaos na talaga ang Lakers ah... masyado pang maaga he he he... 2 games pa lang naman...
abangan ko na lang kung paano magkaroon ng synergy ang Lakers.
sana lakers at miami ang magkatagpo sa finals...
Long time no post sir DPOGS,..
Merry Christmas bro,..
Good luck sa Lakers mo ha,..
HAHAHAHA
Lamar would be of no help at all, if he was still in LA. Look at how poorly he has played so far in Dallas. LA needs a guard to step up and create plays and DFish and Blake aren't going to do it.
Holy crap is Ricky Rubio good at passing. Reminds me of Pistol Pete with those nice unexpected but pinpoint passes.
Re: Howard to Bulls
I'd love to see Dwight there. It would be great to have D12 at Chicago, but not at the expense of Noah. IMHO, Noah is the better all-around defender than D12. The Bulls center can practically guard any position out there and I like how active and pestering he can be to the opposing team. But I guess it's easy to include any other Bull other than Rose when it's Dwight. But right now, Chicago is set at all position and don't really need Dwight.
i agree howard is really a good player but him over Noah id rather continue investing on Noah. He may not be as good offensively but the hussle and defensive efforts he brings every game is something i cant not just throw outside the window
Beg to disagree,...
Noah was hardly a factor nung finals, same as Boozer,
Bulls need fresh legs to complement the game of Rose...

Howard has no post game. FT%, TO sucks. He can dunk, yes, but still worth 2 points. No hussle, can't pass.
Noah is fine but Boozer, should be on the trading block.
I think the BULLS should move D Rose to the off guard position so there will be more movement rather than letting him play point, set the plays and attack the basket afterwards. Thats too tiring for their main man.
I think Gasol is the best post up player in the NBA today.
Howard has no post game. FT%, TO sucks. He can dunk, yes, but still worth 2 points. No hussle, can't pass.
Who will play point? Besides, can Rose defend against bigger SGs?
i agree that DRose should be moved to the off guard position. remember dywane wade started out as a point guard and his game flourished when he moved to the off guard position. DWade and DRose are practically the same size.
Great win by LA over the lowly Jazz. I hope they can continue to tune up their game and adjust to one another so they reach the Conference finals.
i wonder if there are any upcoming schedules of games for studio 23, la ksi kming basketball tv eh
This page on NBA.com provides the broadcast schedule for both free TV (Studio 23) and cable channels (BTV, NBA Premium, ESPN) in the Philippines:
http://www.nba.com/schedules/international_nba_tv_schedule.html?RID=26&cName=Philippines (http://www.nba.com/schedules/international_nba_tv_schedule.html?RID=26&cName=Philippines).
Must-see game on Friday: NYK @ LAL.
Speaking of the Lakers, good that they finally got a win. Would've been awful to start with a 0-3 slate. I'll reserve judgment on the chances of the Lakers this season until they get Bynum back. He's obviously crucial to Mike Brown's plans to make the Lakers a better defensive team this year.
Same for the Celtics - they're still missing Pierce. But they should be able to take care of the Hornets tomorrow.
So among the favorites, looks like it's Dallas that's going to start 0-3. Next up for them: OKC pa.
FINALLY!!
Seems MWPeace is the coach's favorite ah! Babad ng husto eh...Where is Matt Barnes?
If that will be the case then i may conclude he just had a QUITTER/CHOKER before in Cleveland.
Matt Barnes have a hip injury suffered during preseason. He can play (i think he played in Sacramento) but i think the coach is taking his time. Ebanks is doing a decent job naman e..but i think Matt should still start when he is healthy.
BTW, that 2nd rounder Goudelock has potential. He has great spot-up 3-pt shooting. Like a Shannon Brown without the explosiveness.
He did ;D So did Spoelstra last season.
oh Shannon Brown, i completely forgot about this kid. Which team did he transfer? He was a very good reliever to Kobe the past seasons.
he signed a 1-yr deal with the Suns. He had a horrible debut with only one FG i think. I am actually proud of the progress of this kid. He was an unknown with Charlotte. The Lakers, already a championship team with an established roster gave him a chance to come in after Kobe and he flourished.
His agent says they only signed a 1 yr contract to increase his stock come 2012 free agency, but i believe signing with the Suns is a wrong move because:
1. He still comes off the bench like with the Lakers (and i don't think he will get starter minutes..he got some starter minutes with the Lakers if he is playing very well..Kobe (SG) and him (PG) playing together.
2. He would have had a better chance with the Lakers than the Suns to increase his stock because he could have competed for the starting SF role. in his case..Kobe can move to the starting SF and Brown to SG. With Metta, Barnes, Blake, McRoberts and Murphy coming of the bench. Ebanks is still raw.
3. He could have had a better chance with other teams where he could have started. He can start on a bad team for sure. i just don't know which "bad teams" were interested in his services.
He has the explosiveness teams look for at the SG position.
I would love to see him play under the High Octane RUN and GUN D Antoni system.
i still recall when Kobe was injured, he filled the starting role very decently for the Lakers.
oh Shannon Brown, i completely forgot about this kid. Which team did he transfer? He was a very good reliever to Kobe the past seasons.
Wow 3-0 na heat. Ibang klase tlaga si wade kahit na medyo minamalas but when the game is on d line u can really expect him to deliver.
He was on the way out since the playoffs last year. Shannon was caught banging Pau Gasol's girlfriend... kaya wala sa sarili si Pau nung playoffs...
Buti na lang hindi si LeBron ang tumira ng game winning shot ;D
Let's Go Heat!
If the Spurs don't get hit by injuries, I'd say they will be the dark horse in the West.. they're practically the same team that topped the West last season.. and this shortened season is good for Duncan and Manu.. maybe another post-lockout crown for the Spurs?

As I watch Lebron every game, it is very clear that he is not the go-to-guy at winning time. Wade is the ultimate closer ala Jordan or Nowitzki or even Larry Bird. Lebron, however, is a super duper athletic player. Maybe the most athletic in the NBA today. But come winning time, Wade is it. Again, i keep telling my friends, Lebron is like the Nelson Asaytono of old. Power, scorer, except a go-to-guy at winning time. It's Alvin Patrimonio who does the winning. Just like Wade ;D
The shortened season might take it's toll on those old tired legs....last year Pop was even resting Timmy on the 2nd night of back to back games to conserve his body. This year they will have games like what the Lakers just had...three games in three days. To compound things...the manner in which Memphis manhandled them last season will surely give them something to think about should those two teams meet again. Marc Gasol literally owned Tim Duncan in the paint during that series. Rudy Gay wasn't even in that series because he had an injury. He was their 2nd leading scorer during the reglar season. They didn't have an answer to Z-Bo as well as he run amuck for almost 28ppg.
They Spurs are not like what they used to...they simply granted too many long term contracts to players that are on the decline. Imagine paying for almost 50 million for RJefferson...there goes your financial flexibility down the drain for the next three years.
He was on the way out since the playoffs last year. Shannon was caught banging Pau Gasol's girlfriend... kaya wala sa sarili si Pau nung playoffs...
I still don't understand why they didn't amnesty RJ. Almost every NBA analyst were expecting him to be in the waiver wires last preseason....
i agree...LeBron is the best player in the NBA.....
for the first 3 quarters...hehehe!

Maybe, they're waiting for the right off-season to use it. Teams can use it once during the 10-year agreement, before any season, on a player whose contract already is done and who is on the team.
Probably. If they don't get deep enough in the playoffs they should blow this team up already. Tim is already a keeper up to his retirement while the others can be traded while they still have value most notably Parker whose young legs have the mileage of a 13 year veteran and Manu who still can hold his own. They need to surround Tim with the right amount of talent while he still can anchor the middle. More playing time for Blair, Hill and the other young guns that they have. They need to have a torchbearer for the franchise when Tim retires in two years or so. I don't see that happening in Parker nor Manu.
Hill is now playing for the Pacers.
He was on the way out since the playoffs last year. Shannon was caught banging Pau Gasol's girlfriend... kaya wala sa sarili si Pau nung playoffs...

Pierce is out and they are thin at Center spot.....I guess that magnifies the effect of that Perkins-Green trade.
Pati ang dallas nanalo bago matapos ang taon. Monster game by mahinmi, 18pts
but ODOM hasnt been fitted well into the Dallas system.
Such a waste of talent should he not be able to perform like what he did with the Lakers.
At nanalo din ang celtics.sa wakas hehehe
Impressive debut by Bynum 29 pts and 13 rebs. If he continues to be healthy and plays like that, then LA is a shoo in to the Conference finals.
Gasol and Bynum give the Lakers size and power.
The only missing piece now is the wing position vacated by ODOM so they must develop players to fill into that position.
Gigil na gigil maglaro si bynum. Kung palaging ganito laro ni bynum who cares for howard daw hehe
Yi jianlian is set to sign with dallas. Another firepower. Yeah
huh? the guy wont even see the court except for garbage time
Yi jianlian is set to sign with dallas. Another firepower. Yeah
McRoberts and Murphy more than makes up for Odom's absence. McRoberts alone is an upgrade on defense and hustle. Plus, McRoberts gives the LAkers another guy they can lob the ball to near the basket. I would say, Odom hasn't been missed much so far.
Rondo really playing like Magic and Kidd with his TRIPLE-DOUBLE performance.
For me, the best point guard si Rondo! Yung iba kse traditional lang and shoot firts point guard, si Rondo, di mo alam kung ano gagawin. Triple double na agad!

Its very normal for point guards to score and make lots of assists but its EXTRAORDINARY for a point guard below 6'5 that also crashes the boards better than those forwards and centers in the elite league.
I'm thinking they (OKC) should trade Westbrook.

Westbrook isn't even a PG but an SG. Remember when he was benched in the 4Q during the playoffs? He shoots too much and can't make plays for his teammates.

Yes, but MJ's FG% is much better during this first 3 years.
Well you are comparing Westbrook to the best player to have ever played the game. Also Jordan didn't play point. So as a SG, he could roam around and get passes in places around the court where all he had to do was put the ball in the basket. As a point it's different. 'more often than not to be able to score, you have to create one for yourself.
im surprised the pacers are 4-1 early on :)
im not suprised. hehe. sleeper sa east yang pacers. they have a formidable backcourt in collison and george hill, and paul. plus hibbert and david west frontcourt combo plus american psycho hansbrough. lol.

Seems the 4-game suspension at the start of the season made him (Bynum) like a beast...He also trimmed down a bit, must be a product of hard work during the off-season...
Still, I feel the Lamar trade was a waste...I am sure they could still have room for McBob and Troy even w/ LO in the roster...LO is still a Laker in a Mavs uniform :(
they could be the team to beat had they got the CP3 deal
Pardon me, but I'll have to disagree. Knicks have two of the most overrated players in the league in Melo and Amare. Those two dudes don't make their teammates better, and they don't defend much either.
With NYK, it's all about scoring, which happens to be the most overrated aspect of the game.

So you don't like Mike huh. Yeah, agree with you there bro.
And PhilJax will come back I think, and if he does there are only two teams he would choose, Lakers or Knicks.
Nash is available as an FA next year. Maybe he would want to team up with Amare and run that killer pick and roll that they used to run in Phoenix.

im not really into watching the games closely, but amare and melo have travelled many roads already and in all the stops they have, they could only do one thing, score. big time scorers that does not have any other strong facet in their game, amare is tall yet i dont think he gets high numbers in rebounds, i alos dont think he defends well, melo? just give him the ball and thats it.
and hopefully he stays healthy and ready to fight it out =)
Ayos itong is Bynum ha. Siguro this time around he will just give a one two punch to the face of the any player who scores over them at will just like Barrea hehe ;D
ganda ng laban ng MIA-ATL. Chris Bosh naka-3pts with to tie the game at 93 and send the game to overtime. note that DWade and LBJ are not playing today. ;D
Wow double overtime
Natapos din ang laban. No wade no james no problem. Monster game by bosh, 33pts
good thing Chalmers stepped up too. 29 points, 8 assist, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals. si Bosh muntik na mag triple-double: 33 pts, 14 rebs, and 7 TOs. ;D
Nice win by Miami, nakabawi na sila sa Hawks kahit wala si LBJ at Wade. Kaya naman pala manalo kahit 'di kumpleto Big 3. ;Dmas maganda kase wala masyado star
Bynum seems to be competing with Kevin Love for the most numbers of DOUBLE DOUBLES this NBA season.
lakas ni barnes kanina vs grizzlies

Arghh...Laker 27 turnovers....it seems malaki ang usage rate ni Kobe coz I think the Mike Brown offense cannot hide the offensive inefficiencies ng players like MWP and Fisher.
Sa triangle, at least players who cant create their shots, like Fisher, MWP, and ex Laker Vujacic got open looks, coz I think tri offense has better spacing.
Im still gonna hold heavy judgment though coz of the short training camp, and practically no practice days due to heavy schedule. Experts have forecasted ugly basketball coz of this......and have benefiited teams who stood pat with their roster and coaches. They are thriving, prime example of which are the Thunder and Bulls.
Shortened season is not benefitting older teams....the sked is brutal, Lakers played a league high 10 games in 14 days. Winless on the road. Young Thunder played the same......but winning more than Lakers.
Steve Nash recently explained why he won't request a trade from the Suns. (http://espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/_/page/dime-120106-08/steve-nash-future-phoenix-suns)
"One, it's not my style. Maybe I'm old school, but I feel like that's not my place to give up on my team," said Nash. "I signed a contract and made a commitment. And two, I don't feel it's like choosing a restaurant ... I owe it to the fans and the organization to fight."
:)
Hats off to Captain Canada, a real pro!
Did Lebron disappear from the Warriors game? Only 1pt in the 4th and the 1st 2 in OT.talo pa MIAMI ??? ??? tambak na kanina WARRIORS :o :o :o
talo pa MIAMI ??? ??? tambak na kanina WARRIORS :o :o :o
pacers off to a 7-3 start. not bad!
Hindi niya kasi mahintay na malampasan si Shaq sa career points. ;D
HOWARD to CHICAGO?
That will be the best BIG man and small MAN combo.
D Rose slashing with Howard cleaning the garbage for him every time he missed.
I've seen a photo of Kobe's hand swelling after a game but I don't know how he still gets to use that hand of his.. He just dropped 48pts against the Suns today.. and he's averaged over 30pts in their last 4 games.. parang di na tao si Kobe..
Did Lebron disappear from the Warriors game? Only 1pt in the 4th and the 1st 2 in OT.
i got news for you! he disappeared in the OT vs. the Clippers as well! oh wait, what's new? lol.
yes he did tie the game for in the waning seconds of the 4Q to get the game into OT, but if you watch that replay, he travelled before he got fouled! oh, and did i already say he got 0 points in OT? lol.
Back to back choke games si Lebron ha....i think this is OK, atleast he's trying. unlike last year's finals :D
Now HOWARD showed why many teams would want to trade for him. 45 points and 23 rebs against the Warriors.
the biggest disappointment so far: New York. lots of high profile signings, hundreds of millions of dollars spent to get Amare, Carmelo and Tyson and the results are the same. to top it all off they will add Baron Davis in a months time to the mix.
maybe they could get Jerry Sloan out of retirement to coach this team. Di Antoni clearly isnt getting the most from his players.
Turk's cap killer contract for the next 4 years. Max contract yung si Turk...parang kay Kobe ang sweldo nun but the talent level and the determination is far from what it should be.
Di naman sir, near maximum lang si Hedo:
Hedo - owed around $34m in the next 3 yrs.
Kobe- owed around $83mil in the next 3 yrs.
Wow 39 free throw attempt by d.howard broke wilts record. He went 21-39.
Wow 39 free throw attempt by d.howard broke wilts record. He went 21-39.
what? 18 missed free throws? d dpat 63 points sya in today's ball game? or the 21/39 is his free throw stats for this season?
My tennis trainer said something hilarious this morning. I said, "O Lakers Clippers mamaya."
He said, "Sino yung Clippers sir, si Blake Griffin? Naku, parang Bisaya maglaro yon! Ang tigas ng katawan, ang lakes bumuhat!"
I cannot watch Blake now without laughing out loud haha.
(no offense to Visayans; I am married to one... But if you play basketball you know what he means hahaha.)
He said, "Sino yung Clippers sir, si Blake Griffin? Naku, parang Bisaya maglaro yon! Ang tigas ng katawan, ang lakes bumuhat!"
Far fetched theory, but I think the LAkers are trying to sell Kobe's scoring binge in order to shock teams come playoff time when Kobe starts sharing the ball. With the compressed season, I would think the bigs would be so spent come playoffs that they're being spared the extra "load" on offense ::). But I do sense that Kobe has an agenda with all this 40-point games. It pains me to see a lot of forced shots. But hey, that's Kobe for ya. Polarizing yet you can't argue with 5 championship rings.
it will turn out to be a disaster when Kobe strats making a habit of doin it all by himself and frustrate his teamates becoz of few touches. its still better to move around to get all teamates.
If I remember it right, Kobe went on a rampage scoring-wise(averaged 35 ppg)back in 2006? Lulled everyone into thinking that all you need to do was stop Kobe in the playoffs and LA's done for. Top-seeded Phoenix almost paid for it going down 1-3 in the first round. But, close but no cigar for the LAkers as the Suns crawled back to win the series.
biggest surprise for me this early are the SIXERS. 8-3 to start the season.
Mas importante kay Kobe na maka 40 points and up kesa manalo kanina. You can see the frustration of Bynum in the second half wherein he runs from both ends of he court only to get rebounds. A trade will do wonders for Bynums game. He can be a 20/20 guy if he gets the ball at least 25 times per game.
Pedro: Bumabalik na 'yung dating laro ni Kobe.
Juan: Gumagaling na sya ulit?
Pedro: Hindi, bumabakaw na sya ulit!
In a compressed season, unless you're young and almost always injury free like Dwight, big men need all the rest they could get. The stress on their knees alone on back-to-back games would be incredible. I'm still surprised that players agreed to a brutal schedule like this.
Boston is now on a tail spin. Looks like this is the end of the Big Three. Watched the game this morning and what is very obvious is the fact that Kevin Garnet isn't the player that he used to be.

tinambakan niya magisa un spurs hahaha
Mr BIG SHOT did it again for the Clippers.
tsk tsk tsk...
olats ang lakers sa miami....
Great game by NY and Denver. Galinari scoring 37 points with 10 fewer attempts than what Melo made. Carmelo really is like a black hole in the offense. When he gets the ball nobody gets to touch it anymore for the duration of the shot clock. He just dribbles and dribbles and even though there is a double team he tries to beat it by shooting the ball.
another case of trading for talent and not need. NY should not have traded for Melo. Getting Amare plus a good center would have been a more logical choice since they had a great guard in Felton back then.

how many years pa ang contract ni KG, Ray allen and paul pierce?
March is the trade deadline. I think they will stick it out with Pierce and have him retire as one of the Celtic greats in due time. They might trade Allen and let Garnet loose via free agency to free up cap space. Of the two (Allen and Garnet), it's Allen who can yield the most in return.
Imagine what Allen can do to help the Lakers hehehe...but that is if Kobe will pass the ball to him.
What time ang 1030pm Eastern sa Pinas? LAC vs LAL @ 1030pm ET.
Paul game-time decision. sana makalaro siya!!
D'Antoni is largely ineffective in the postseason.
Celtics erase 27-point deficit, beat Magic 91-83!
Arenas in LA? Good idea if the coach is Phil Jackson.if the guy can tame Rodman to become a quality player he can sure as hell do that to Agent Zero. On hindsight pwede siguro just to provide scoring punch off the bench. Experiment for 1 year.
That will be a great addition specially at the point guard position.
If Arenas can control his game from a scorer/take charge guy to a pass first. shoot last guy, then it will be good for him.
I still recall Ron Harper. He was a scorer at Cleveland but when he transfered to the Bulls then Lakers, he complimented both Jordan and Bryant very well with his passing skills and defense and still contributed much in offense when necessary.
MIAMI 97 CHICAGO 93 sayang di live telecast >:(
It was shown live in BTV. Pero, nakasulat sa NBA.com na ipapalabas sa Studio 23.
MJ choked away a number of end-game FTs too. So did Magic, Bird, Jabbar, etc.. Everyone does it. Even the great Nick Anderson hehe.
| EAST WEST G Rose Paul G Wade Bryant F Anthony Durant F James Griffin C Howard Bynum |
in the East, I'd pick Greg Monroe as a backup center. I'd put both Irving and Rubio ahead of Joe or Wall. Deng if he's healthy.
In the West, I don't think Dirk is having an all-star year. Millsap, Gerald Wallace, or even Gallinari would be more deserving. Then there's Duncan, Ty Lawson, Harden ... man, the West is deep.
Griffin tried to posterize Mozgov once again...this time around Mozgov met him at the rim and decked him with a hard foul sending Griffin to the floor. It took him a minute before he was able to stand up.
After that Griffin's game was sub par all the way with majority of his shots outside the paint. I just wonder what could have happened if Blake played the original Bad Boys of Detrot and he tried that stunt against Mahorn, Laimbeer and Rodman. He will go home on a stretcher to say the least.

Malas talaga ng knicks natalo pa sa celtics. They got open looks down the wire pero ayaw talaga pumasok.laging talo sa last 2 minutes :-\ :-\
that Lakers-Nuggets game has got to be one of the worst officiated endgame this season.. how can they not call a foul on that Bynum play? at any angle, it was a tap on the wrist.. buti na lang the Lakers still held on to win..
28 points on 26 attempts is efficient. That's 53% FG%.
Kasi you said 28pts on 26 attempts.
Pano yung 53%? 28/52. I assumed no FTA nor 3PTM.
in the case of kobe, he made 10 out of 26 attempts that night... which is a mere 38%.. well mere in nba standards.. pero in reality.. its really hard to make half of your shots to go in, especially if youre playing from the outside...
centers usually has higher FG% coz theyre attempting much near the basket... shaq i believe has around 58% FG% in his career which is a given since mas malapit sya... imagine a dominant center shooting almost 60%...
so mahirap talaga ang barometer nila jordan sa sarili nila.. the further you are the more likely it is that youll miss..
Howard has recently stated that he's open to playing for the Chicago Bulls .... even if D. Rose, ADIDAS' other main NBA endorser, plays there.
Might be a big risk for Chicago though, since they'll lose value (Deng & Noah probably) ..... breaking up an already contending team ..... might also end up absorbing a massive contract like Turkoglu.
Best for the NBA ..... Howard remains with Orlando.
the melo and stat experiment for ny doesn't look too hot right now. ??? :-\
get jeremy lin via trade to the LAL! =) big asian community in LA =)
get jeremy lin via trade to the LAL! =) big asian community in LA =)
trade Fisher for Jeremy Lin.
NYK will be loaded with veteran guards: Bibby, Davis and Fisher.
LAL will be getting a new asian guy. I remember before they drafted Sun Yue.
talo uli LAKERS >:(
US PresswireThe Los Angeles Lakers are in need of a point guard and the word is that the team wouldn't mind doing a deal with the Boston Celtics to land Rajon Rondo.
Celtics’ Rajon Rondo headed to Lakers?
Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak tells Lakers.com that there is definitely something he'd like to do before the trading deadline: "If there were a way for us to get a 25-year-old, All-Star, ball-handling guard we'd love to do it … but that's not likely in February. So you look at other alternatives, and see if it's better than what you have. That's all."
As Hoopsworld points out, Rondo is the only 25-year-old, All-Star, ball-handling guard in the league right now. Sources also tell the site that, in exchange for Rondo, the Celtics "have interest" in forward/center Pau Gasol, who has two years left on his contract after this season.
Gasol is averaging 16.4 points, 10.1 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game. Rondo is averaging 13.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game for the Celts.

ano sa tingin niyo mga dre?
talo celtics ko by 1 point hahahaha ... >:(
muntikan na rin Lakers dun.. kung di hinabol ni Pau yung follow-up ni Allen, talo sana sila.. open na open si Allen dun eh.. di nakaporma si Rondo kanina..kung hindi nya kasi hinabol itratrade na daw sya kay rondo lolz
LA doesn't need an All Star caliber PG. they just need one with a reliable outside shot and a pass first mentality plus good individual defense. They do not need a triple double machine like Rondo if in exchange they give up their awesome length. Today's game with Boston might open the eyes of Laker management. Boston was beaten black and blue by the Lakers' length. Garnett didn't even venture in the paint and missed 17 shots total.

He's not a flashy guy and is actually ridiculously efficient with his offense. I'm sure he's here to stay.
problem lang minsan ang dami nyang TO. i think in one game meron syang 8 TOs.
32pts 21rebs for Kevin Love! Siya na lang kunin ng Lakers kapalit ni Bynum/Gasol.. wag na si Howard.. ;D
Ang dami pa rin TOs ni Lin for a PG.. 6 again today.. Kobe stats yun.. ;D

and also 8 for 24 shooting. that's only 30% FG percentage. also, 6TO and 4 blocked attemps. he should really control his shot attemps and be a much more effective PG. he might be trying too hard now that he's the darling of the NBA. hope it doesn't get into his head. :-\
sana lang hindi mabulabog yung streak nila pag balik ni stat and melo. :)
en melo at amare returns for sure bababa yung points and fga. but he should still get his minutes.
The Knicks have a relatively easy schedule this coming week - Toronto, Sacramento and New Orleans, before they face the defending champs on Sunday. Lin and the Knicks will probably keep on rolling - puwera na lang kung manggulo si Carmelo :)
Breaking down Jeremy Lin (http://hoopshype.com/columns/rosen/breaking-down-jeremy-lin)
i'm sure he's a good facilitator for Amare and Melo, but for now i won't consider him as the next Steve Nash. :)
"Every team in the league runs pick-and-rolls, so I don't see why you would discredit what he's done or qualify it," Nash said of Lin, who is averaging 26.8 points and eight assists during New York's five-game winning streak. "I think he's been outstanding regardless."
The NBA is really in good hands with young superstars like Rose, Durant and others who are not the traditional headcases...
Thank you for reposting. I agree with a lot of your picks. But for me I don't believe Garnett and Duncan should start. Pwede siguro sa reserves. Pero baka Paul Pierce pa nga over Garnett, eh.
Mayweather knocks Jeremy Lin hype on Twitter
Posted Feb 13 2012 9:12PM
Las Vegas (AP) -- Not every athlete is caught up in the Linsanity.
Unbeaten boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. has posted a swipe at the New York Knicks' point guard sensation on Twitter.
Mayweather posted on Monday: "Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise."
Lin has led the Knicks to five straight victories, including a 38-point game against the Lakers.
Mayweather rarely hesitates to air racially charged opinions, either in person or in social media.
He has repeatedly insulted rival Manny Pacquiao, including an online video in 2010 in which he used racial and homophobic slurs against the Filipino congressman.
Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's top adviser, didn't immediately return a phone call.

Mr. Fundamental pa din ako over Dirk.
ang daldal talaga ni Mayweather, kala mo kung sino siya.
one-on-one sila ni Jeremy Lin, baka hindi sya maka-score
WTF?! pati ba naman sa NBA gusto ni Mayweather siya pinag-uusapan? ::) >:(
Personally, I try to be humble and soft spoken.
But when it comes to sports stars, I hate it when they're humble and soft spoken. I like sports stars to be brash, loud, chippy, angas, even arrogant, with large egos. MJ, Magic, Bird, Kobe, LeBron, CP3. And the best example: Muhammad Ali.
Add my idol, the greatest racer ever, Ayrton Senna DaSilva, who also had the greatest ego ever.
one-on-one sila ni Jeremy Lin, baka hindi sya maka-score
NYK @ TOR: Jeremy Lin already has 5 TOs (Knicks down double-digits), with more than 6 mins to go in the 2Q. And he's playing against Calderon, who I think has the best assist-to-TO ratio in the NBA. I guess this is the result of opposing teams now becoming more deliberate and focused on defending Lin. Hope he manages the pressure and plays better.
i don't even know why people still bother wih Gayweather.why even care for what he says anyway?
(but i think i just did) ;D
mas may clutch pa ata si lin kesa kay lebron?

actually if you look at his stats since his first start, he has at least 6 TO per game. i guess this is just the way he plays.

exactly what i was thinking even though i'm a Heat fan! ;D
but anyways.. ok lang ang high TO, i mean, nash has high TO rin and sometime kobe, ganun talaga pag nasa kanya ang bola... mas mataas ang chances ng TO.. the more you share the ball, the higher risk rin ng TO, and of course the more you have the ball, more defense on you therefore higher TO..

baka pag balik ni Melo magkagulo sila. It's Lin's team now, so dapat makisama si Melo tulad ng ginawa ni Chandler and Amare. And to add, Lin has to win over the top teams in the NBA, and at least enter the playoffs. :)

Everyone (including teammates) thought Lin was gonna drive. Kid got balls. Imagine wasting all those time to take a 3? But he deserves it, having tied the game with a 3pt play.
Meron ang Sky ng DVR bro. Medyo mahal lang. Pero di kailangan - yung games puwede panoorin buong araw, pagdating sa bahay puwede i-replay.
Yes, you are absolutely right here! Yare, pag nagkataon!

magkano league pass sa sky bro?
Yung league pass sa NBA website yun. I tried it nung libre pa last december. Ok na ok, di ko lang tinuloy pa magbayad.
Bale pwede mo syang mapanuod ng live or kahit ilang replay parang video on demand ng NBA games. Pwede sa computer mo or mobile phone panuorin. Best is sa computer mo tapos naka HDMI connection sa HD TV para pwede HD quality.
to use a street bball term, kung ako si calderon e 'aasawahin' ko si Lin.No way in hell would i give him an opening.problema na sya ng forward at center ko.but anyway,nanalo NY and that's all that matters for this long suffering knick fan. ;D
either James Jones or Chalmers but i'm leaning more towards Chalmers as he has a high 3pt FG% right now and his confidence level in shooting the three is also high.
baka pag balik ni Melo magkagulo sila. It's Lin's team now, so dapat makisama si Melo tulad ng ginawa ni Chandler and Amare. And to add, Lin has to win over the top teams in the NBA, and at least enter the playoffs.
bakit hindi na sumali si Blake Griffin?
takot na sya kz baka matalo siya.
IMHO, hindi maganda yung pagkapanalo niya e, hindi naman masyado maganda yung ginawa niya nung tumalon sya sa kotse, sana kung sa gitna sya tumalon ng kotse kaso sa hood lang sya tumalon e.ung kotse lang nagpanalo sa kanya dun.
bakit hindi na sumali si Blake Griffin?

ah,ang akala ko naman e Sky offers the league pass inasmuch the same way na it's offerred to US based customers.ok na siguro ako sa NBA TV in HD ng destiny bro. :)
Correct me if I am wrong. pero I think the NBA Premium TV offering of Destiny is only on Standard Definition (digital signal with digi box) and not HD?

but in the end, he found out that you can’t Lin them all.
:D
Lin doesn't remind me of any player. I cringe at the Nash comparisons coz he really doesn't play like Steve. I don't see the shooting, the constant mix of motion and the passing that Nash had, even when D'Antoni was with the Suns. Well, the closest I can think of that Lin reminds me is Jalen Rose.
I think someone posted about this earlier, but it still didn't catch on: Amid all the Linsanity, the Spurs have quietly strung up 10 straight wins. :) Parker is on fire this year. Latest to fall are the upstart Clippers.

Durant and Westbrook combined for 91 of OKC's 124pts.. Durant had 51, Westbrook had 40.. Ibaka had triple-double, 14pts-15rebs-11blks.. but the game still went to OT against Denver who had no Gallinari and Nene.. OKC won but that was one tough game for them..
Yeah, it was an incredible "NBA Jam"-like performance by Durant and Westbrook. Some interesting trivia about the OKC players' stats tonight:
* First time since 1996 (after Jordan and Pippen) that 2 teammates each scored at least 40 points
* Durant and Westbrook's combined points surpassed the point total of seven other NBA TEAMS that played tonight (including Miami)
* First time in NBA history that a team had players logging 50 pts, 40 pts, and a triple-double
Safe to say that OKC is the team to beat in the West? :) They play Boston and the Lakers back-to-back this week. Add to that the MIA-NYK game on Friday, and we have a lot of great games to look forward to before the All-Star break.
^ i remember reggie miller and jalen rose each scored 40pts for the pacers in a playoff game against the 76ers mga 2000 ata?
don't forget Serge Ibaka's triple-double. 14pts, 15rebs and 11blks.
Seriously though, tama si Verbal. Why do current players have to remind us of previous ones. They can just be themselves, no? Masyadong fixed ang mga mental models natin minsan.
Add to that the MIA-NYK game on Friday
this i want to see, i read melo will play already. excited to see how that works out. hehe.
and jr smith is a really good addition to the knicks, they needed that missing spark off the bench.
Lin reminds me of Lim Eng Beng. Parehong unstoppable.

I think you should call and double check with your Destiny cable on this. Kse I called them up now to verify and I guess I am right. Destiny Cable only offers NBA Premium with their digital box in digital Standard Definition signal; and not yet High Definition. Walang pang HD feed ang Destiny.
Pinag-isipan ko yang NBA premium. Akala ko talaga HD; mukhang di muna ako kakagat.
talaga?i will then.it looks HD to me (but of course my eyes could be wrong ;D)
may isang thread dito re Global Destiny and wala pa at least nagrereklamo sa NBA Premium nila na hindi nga HD.Thanks for this heads up bro.
meron ba sa cignal?e kung nadenggoy ako ng global e lilipat na nga ako. :-\

Following Monday's game between the teams at the Garden, New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin told New Jersey Nets power forward Kris Humphries that he doesn't understand why Knicks fans boo Humphries and said he wanted him to know that he respects his game.
"I saw him in the tunnel outside the locker room after the game," Humphries said during a Tuesday afternoon appearance on ESPN Radio's "The Scott Van Pelt Show."
"He's a really nice guy," said Humphries, who met Lin at an autograph signing in Los Angeles at the All-Star Game last year. "He just said, 'Hey, I don't know why they boo you, but I think it's crap, and you're playing really well.' That was nice of him to say. He's a really nice guy. ... It's nice to see great things happen for nice people."
Isaiah Thomas scored 20 of his 24 points in the third quarter for Sacramento, ...
That's one of the reasons why Pop's a great coach. He never loses sight of the big picture.
because Pop is such a great coach..
he's a great coach because he knows how to maximize the skills and abilities of his players

^ Nahh, Mario or the Cole Train can handle him. :D
They should concentrate on Chandler. I hope UD or The Warden can handle the rebounds and won't get killed.
dunno if i posted it here before.. pero i think i did.. pero its still worth posting...tingin ko sa kanya parang shawn kemp/dominique wilkins in one ;D

parang naglalaro ng takot si JL. :-[
the lakers' need for a good PG was only exposed this season after the phil jackson/triangle offense era, wherein a ''traditional'' PG wasn't really necessary in running the triangle.
If proof was needed that the Heat wanted to make a point against Lin, there was some clear evidence.
Exhibit A: Mario Chalmers stole the ball from Lin and went in for a two-handed dunk in the early minutes. Exhibit B: Norris Cole, Chalmers' backup at point guard, did the same thing in the second quarter.

Heat's defensive focus shifts to the paint (http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/miamiheat/post/_/id/12619/heats-defensive-focus-extends-beyond-lin)
^ Yup please don't forget about this guy who killed us in the Finals. :)
Under Coach Brown's system, a traditional PG isn't really necessary, too.
IMO LA needs to pull off a trade if they want to contend this year - whether it's for Beasley or Sessions. Sana si Sessions na lang.
with D-Fish and Steve Blake playing like crap, they need one. they need a PG who can get the ball in the right spots and can score from the perimeter consistently. and just like synchro_01 posted on page 50, they also need an athletic wingman with scoring punch. metta world peace isn't exactly the ron artest who played for indiana, sacramento, and houston. ;)
to be fair to the lakers, they're still learning and adjusting to mike brown's system. for more on that, here's an interesting read...
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/ian_thomsen/02/23/lakers.brown/index.html
pinakawalan kasi si ariza. and where in the world is shannon brown? magaling din yun eh.
sayang si Lin kanina, hindi nag-adjust. natakot na nu'ng ang dami niyang TO the first half. hindi siya nagp-penetrate like his other games. ginawa niya against the heat kanina - dribble inside, stop, and hesitate. parang hindi siya.

The Lakers lost the ff personnel for the past three years due to cost cutting moves by Buss:
Trevor Ariza - defensive nightmare to opposing Teams, consistent perimeter jumper.
Jordan Farmar - reliable backup PG with consistent jumper
Shanon Brown - uber athletic wingman with scoring punch coming off the bench.
Lamar Odom - the sixth man of the year/ matchup nightmare and IMHO one of the most versatile players in the NBA
This is why they are bleeding for points when the second unit comes in to spell relief to the first five. They need exactly what they have lost in terms of personnel. Those 4 players plus 1 rookie is already a first 5 caliber team. That is how strong they were when they won back to back championships even without Bynum's presence.
The biggest loss that they incurred which has nothing to do with cost cutting is none other than Phil Jackson. Coach Brown is a good replacement though but he still needs time to integrate his system.
i still like Bynum more than Dwight. Bynum has more offensive post moves than Dwight.
"I'm sure they were all geeked up for him," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said of the Heat defense on Lin. "And they took the challenge and they did a great job. It's hard to be Peter Pan every day."
LOL :D
I don't think anyone will choose the Brown team over the Philjax one. LOL ;D Very easy target.
And where's Mcbob?
They're 5th place in the a very tough Western Conf., whose to say that the Mike Brown team won't be part of 'something special' this year?

boring ng slam dunk contest this year! >:(
maganda pa yung behind the back dunk ni John Wall sa dying minutes nung BBVA Rising Stars eh.
i want to see Lebron participate in the dunk contest ;D :D
LeBron James in unquestionably one of the most violent dunkers in the game today, and could easily compete with anyone in the league in a slam dunk contest if that’s something he wanted to do. But up until this point, despite empty promises and a tease from time to time, he hasn’t decided to commit.
At All-Star media availability in Orlando on Friday, I was able to ask James why he hasn't chosen to participate. And as much as fans may not like the answer, with LeBron now in his ninth season, it's not an answer he’s likely to change at any point in the future … unless, of course, first prize was $1 million.
''It's just not me, I'm not a dunk contest type of guy,'' James said. ''I'm an in-game dunker. I kind of improvise during the game. But, I don’t know. I'm not for scoreboards and all that type of stuff.''
But if they offered the winner a million dollars?
''Then I’d reconsider,'' he said. ''Wouldn't you?''
The slam dunk contest is ok. There's nothing wrong with it as far as I'm concerned. It's the superstars chickening out that leaves fans hanging and wishing for "better" dunks, which is easier said than done. I found this year's dunks creative at most. But the absence of Lebron, Wade, Howard, Griffin robs the event of any panache.
I love the upgraded Hocus Pocus dunk. It was hard enough to dunk blindfolded, but to do a two-handed 180 blind is pure wow for me.
Jeeezuz Lebron. Grow some balls and learn to go for the kill already! What the heck was that freakin pass for?!
;D so what else is new?? alam ko na ano wala si lbj.. "killer instinct".. he can hunt, he can shoot, pero he cant kill and clean..
Get Lebron on the Kobe system!
^ Hindi naman mukang ewan. Nagpapakawacky talaga sila dyan. Si Rose lang ang hindi nakikijoin. Yan lang ayaw ko sa kanya. Parang mahiyain masyado.
Kobe with a nasal fracture and concussion due to Wade's foul. If it was the other way around, Kobe would be suspended. Since Wade is the culprit, Stern isn't going to lift a finger against him.
Stu Jackson just issued a statement that the NBA has suspended Kobe for 1 game and has fined him $25,000 for the flagrant and unsportsmanlike blow that Kobe's nose inflicted on Wade's fist.
Said Jackson, "In all my years as a player, coach and executive in the NBA, I've never see anything so diabolical, especially the way Kobe willed himself to bleed from his nostril in order to elicit sympathy and make himself look like the victim." When told that Kobe had to be examined by doctors before being allowed to fly home to Los Angeles, Jackson said: "Typical. A guy as wealthy as Kobe can afford to have so-called 'doctors' on retainer to enable him to put on a big public relations charade. But we in the commissioner's office are wise to Kobe's socio-pathic machinations."
Jackson also stated that NBA doctors have examined Wade's fist. He is under sedation and round-the-clock observation. For the time being, the Miami Heat star is "resting comfortably."
Jackson also noted that the league may not be done dealing with Kobe. Jackson said that Kobe's five L.A. Laker championship teams may be stripped of their titles, and that Kobe himself may be banned for life under the new "basketball reasons" clause of the amended NBA "super-secret" internal guidelines. Jackson and David Stern are expected to rule on the matter when the full "basketball reasons" committee convenes on March 1. The other members of that committee are Mark Cuban, Dan Gilbert, and Ray Allen, as the player representative.
Now Kobe was within inches, screaming into James’ face, “Shoot the [expletive] ball!” And, still, LeBron’s instincts weren’t to take ball and deliver it down Bryant’s throat. Score on Kobe, win the game and tell him to go to hell.
“Yeah, he was telling me to shoot it,” James said. “I wish I could have that one back.”

seriously, we could never know Wade's real intentions when he gave that hard foul on Kobe. i used to cheer for him when he first came into the league and won that championship with Shaq in 2006, but i lost respect for him when he and Lebron mocked Dirk Nowitzki during last year's finals.
'cmon guys, let's give Lebron a break. we've been too harsh, at least he's consistent in...

Lebron: An arrow hit me in the knee and robbed me of my balls. Again.
Yun nga e. Katuwaan na nga lang yang All Star game, and he still didn't have it in him to shoot the ball when they needed him to shoot it. He could've accelerated and overpowered Kobe for a drive and a tie and having 2 or 3 inches on Kobe, he could've pulled up for a winning 3-pointer. But no, he had to add this end game to his greatest no hits.
Last year's Finals vanishing act wasn't meaningful enough?
Hindi rin ako fans ni Lebron, pero I'd wait until he screws up in a meaningful game before I heckle him(again). Katuwaan lang naman yang all-star.

Is there any grander and bigger stage than the NBA Finals where Lebron averaged 2PPG in fourth quarters?
I didn't say that last year's vanishing act wasn't meaningful. What I meant is that I'd wait to heckle him again in the next game that counts. I just find all this Lebron dissing on what is essentially a charity game a bit distasteful. Pero kanya-kanya namang trip yan. Not for me, though.
Yeah really classy on their part. ::)
But still may sakit na nga si Dirk, tinalo pa din sila.
he could've but didn't.oh well. ;D
but it was a very entertaining game,imo.one of the best ASG's in recent memory. :)
yeah we've heard that a thousand times already.

The truth is, everyone choked!
- LBJ should've shot it but passed it, while being heckled by Kobe. Choke!
- Kobe choked at the FT line, bricking a crucial FT. While being heckled by Pierce. Choke!
- DWade fumbled away an easy game winner. Choke!
- KD scored only 2 pts in the 4th and turned the ball over to Deron right under the basket. Choke!
- Deron airballed a 3 behind a well set-up double screen. Choke!
Sino pa ba. Hmmpf Choke kayong lahat! Soli pera!
yeah, and it never gets old. Sama mo pa yung chest-punching, show-boating sh*t.

i don't think the Heat will get a center with the appropriate height. yung defense kasi nila designed without a conventional 5. kung kumuha pa sila ngayon ng legitimate height baka ma-disturb lang yung defensive flow nila.
Heat should trade Lebron for Dwight. ;D
now that would be awesome! ;D
now that would be awesome! ;D
Provided, of course, that NBA games now last only til the 3rd quarter
Who's trading Kobe? ;D
^ Kobe is not even the Best SG in the league anymore. (It's Wade already, FYI.)
;D
Kobe and Jordan is too passe. Kobe vs LBJ is not worth talking about until Lebron wins. Everyone knows who MJ picks between Kobe and LBJ. Lebron has potential to be GOAT, no doubt, but he has to have that desire to win at all cost and actually win it all to be legit.
^ the more you hate, the more you love. :D gawa na tayo ng separate thread! lol ;D

Ang duming maglaro ni Wade, buti nga at natalo kanina,.. wahahaha
Actually, I'm really disappointed with Wade right now. I liked Wade's game a lot, especially during his first years in the NBA.
Pero, it seems he is so insecure right now and he is playing really ugly right now. I was watching the game early today...and you are right sir, he was playing rough and dirty. Reklamo pa nang reklamo.
nbc
question: meron na bang player na naka quintuple double? alam ko quadruple double meron na
Di ko narinig meron syang binalya kahit minsan
This whole argument of winning because he was playing with this or that is when I cry BS. One person doesn't win championships. That's why its a TEAM sport. Regardless of who you played with, everyone on your team was needed to win the whole thing. Sure, you can single out players who took charge, scored the most, did everything, but in the end, he's still dependent of his teammates, coaches, water boys, etc. That's the very first thing I grew up learning when I played sports. To play as a team and to know my role.
Wade and Lebron and all those other young guys may be quicker or stronger than Kobe now.. they may be better than him now.. but all of them are nowhere near what Kobe has achieved in his career.. they're still chasing Kobe the same way Kobe is chasing Michael..

Anyway, good win for the Lakers today, even if it was without Bosh. But I still think they need to pull off a trade to be contenders in the post-season. A PG upgrade remains the priority.
Nawala ata bigla ang mga Linsanity posts. ??? Things don't get any easier for Jeremy Lin - he faces Tony Parker this week, and then MVP Derrick Rose our Tuesday next week.

Sa NBA, wala pa. WNBA, meron na.
"Tamika Catchings, currently of the WNBA Indiana Fever, is the only known player to achieve a quintuple-double. In a game in 1997 when she was a player at Duncanville High School in Duncanville, TX, she had 25 points, 18 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals and 10 blocks."

si hakeem yung naka quadro double diba...he did it twice if im not mistaken.one was against the bucks and the other was against the lakers. quintuple parang wala ata ..10 TOs cguro isama mo sa stats heheh
Wade vs Kobe pala bro mo and gf. Ganda ng pix.
^ you mean... he should have "passed" the ball? :)
nope.. he should have made the shot.. he hit a buzzer-beater at the end of regulation.. that gives him the right to hoist up a shot any day.. nobody is going to ask him to pass in that situation..
oh, and he used a black mask at the start.. he struggled so he used the clear one again the rest of the game..

haay injured nanaman si Wade... siguro dapat bumalik na siya sa endorsements ng Converse! >:(
Well yeah, but he should go back to having his own line of shoes kahit converse :D
Nawala ata bigla ang mga Linsanity posts. ???
Ok naman yng mga jordans ni wade. And converse is already owned by nike anyway.
Linsanity is slowly and surely dying down. he's been having a tough time the past few games, against the likes of Rondo and Kidd. ball rotation of the NY Knicks kinda sucks as of late and Melo is struggling to find his way into the new Lin-centric offense. the team's chemistry is again on the spotlight ever since JR Smith signed up and Baron Davis joined the rotation.
unless the Knicks make some noise in the playoffs (IF they are qualified to be in the NBA's version of the sweet sixteen), expect Mike D' Antoni to be replaced in the offseason
Iverson is better than Kobe
lin is no superstar. we just expect too much from him. but he is being consistent naman. production nya is average. but really good for a nobody.
as for the patent of linsanity... lets just say baka naman kasi its his way to get paid. i mean the nba is the one using much of that term. baka gusto lang naman nya ng share nya ng pie since nba is making a lot off him. let us be reminded that he is not a mle or even a player that draws a huge salary. siguro its his way lang of getting his piece of the pie. i mean he is an economics graduate after all.
im not a lin lover naman. i actually expected him to flop after a few games. but of course in a way happy for him and found myself rooting for him hoping na he find his confidence.
and the way his playing now, the way i see it, pwede pa mag improve next year as he gains experience.
ang disappointment.... si melo. a superstar. highly paid. 6 pts.
Iverson is better than Kobe
Iverson is better than Kobemas ok pa kung sinabi mo IVERSON is better than LEBRON ;)
You give Wade the same rosters Kobe has played with throughout his Los Angeles career, and I guarantee you the Heat win the same number of titles — if not more. If you look at their career numbers, Wade is a better all-around player than Bryant. Wade bests Bryant in field-goal percentage, assists, steals and blocks and is in a virtual tie with Bryant in points per game (25.4 to 25.3) and rebounds (5.3 to 5.2).
Don’t even waste your time comparing Kobe’s averages to Jordan’s, Bird’s, Magic’s and LeBron’s. Kobe isn’t on their level.
I don’t hate Kobe Bryant. I love watching him play. He played a beautiful game Sunday. Kobe is the Jerry West of this era. But let’s stop the blasphemy of elevating Bryant to the same level as the Holy Trinity. Don’t let your hatred of LeBron convince you that Kobe is something he’s clearly not.
badtrip lang pag nadadamay si DWade sa mga LBJ bashing hehehe.. wag nyo naman idamay idol ko lol ;D
bakit madaming galit kay Lebron, dahil ba apektado din sila sa paglipat niya sa Heat?o dahil natalo sila sa pustahan last championship?dahil talo sa pustahan malamang. ;D
dahil talo sa pustahan malamang. ;D

leomarley is a lebron fanboy in disguise ::) ;D :D
sabi na nga ba hihirit ka eh hahaha! ;D kung naaalala mo isa ako sa mga basher ni LBJ medyo lay-low lang kasi kakampi na. i told you before nung time nung magdecide sya na pumunta ng Miami mas gusto ko na kumuha na lang ang Miami ng quality starters kesa kunin si LBJ.
Iverson is better than Kobe
nope and nope. a lot of people hate him because of his attitude and childish antics, the self-proclaimed king and chosen one, when he hasn't even won a single NBA championship.
si 5zig3n naman kaya galit kay LeBron kasi di pumunta ng NY nyahaha! ;D
sad but true.ang stagnant ng ball movement nila.you guys read the trade rumours on nba.com?yung proposal e trade amare and TC for d12?Di ba pwedeng yung coach na lang ng knicks ang i-trade... hehehe.
Di ba pwedeng yung coach na lang ng knicks ang i-trade... hehehe.
Di ba pwedeng yung coach na lang ng knicks ang i-trade... hehehe.
haha sana nga pwede. as for PJ, he might be intrigued with the current roster of the NY Knicks and consider it as a challenge to coach for the franchise where he won his championship as a player.
as for Amare and TC for D12, nah.. i think i'll pass. si Mike D'Antoni talaga ang problem, he doesn't know how to maximize the abilities of his players. instead, he continues to watch his team struggle to run the system he likes to use.
@pao9307
recent reports stated that Orlando is reluctant to trade D12 and instead will gamble with the fact that he might walk during the offseason and lose him with nothing in return.
^ translation: Orlando is screwed. ;D
sobrang daming bad contracts sa nba e.dapat performance based.if they don't meet certain averages,e they should be obliged to give back an agreed upon percentage ng sweldo nila.superstar money for middle of the road players?rashard and JJ come to mind.
this makes for a good read regarding the potential d12 trade:
http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/shaun_powell/03/07/howard-thunder-bulls/index.html
sobrang dami talaga. i read an article a few years ago, David Falk (one of the most respected agents of the previous generation of NBA stars) stated that a lot of role players around the league are clearly overpaid.
D12 to OKC = D12 and Serge Ibaka patrolling the paint.. not even Lebron would dare attack the hoop ;D
true dat bro.nakakatakot na defensive frontline.ano kayang combined block average nila d12 and iBLOCKa?15 bpg?:D
haha. baka mag mukhang volleyball game everytime OKC plays with D12 and Ibaka in their lineup.
OKC is ok with me, si Westbrook lang ayoko sa lineup nila. i never liked shoot first, pass later point guards. ;)
ditto.
mukhang tayo lang naguusap dito brader a.pang gabi ka din? ;D
ah.hehe oo nga.kaso nakakahilo din yung kelangan mo ibalance mga sweldo,contract lengths,draft picks,previous transactions ng predecessor mo,nakakahilo lang siguro.
kuuntento na akong armchair GM lang. ;D
Per Yahoo, Rubio might have torn ACL. If so, he'll miss the rest of the season. Hope this is not true.
LBJ just shot a clutch 3 to send the game to OT. ::)
Gerald Green FTW! :o

just wth is wring with the knicks right now :-\
rival na rivals yung Miami and Knicks nung time na yun naalala ko pa yung away dati. si Jeff Van Gundy hatak hatak ni Mourning habang nakayakap si Van gundy sa legs nya lol! ;D
tingin ko coach ang dapat sisihin sa knicks, kasi sya ang nag-ccommand sa mga players kung ano ang dapat gawin e, e kung ittrade si Melo sa tingin niyo lalakas ang Knicks?
check na din kasi ang laro ni Lin kaya hindi na sya masyadong nakaka-score, chaka simula pa lang maglaro si Lin yung stats niya sa turnovers ang problema niya e..

youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWqv5fNeosc)
:D
isa pang gusto kong away yung kay PJ Brown and Charlie Ward. classic yun hahaha!
My take on the Knicks:
The reason why they've won 6 in a row with Jeremy Lin at the drivers seat was because of their unpredictability.
Dahil wala si Amare and Melo, nagbago yung team at di kabisado ng mga opponents. Di mo malalaman who will take the shot. Si Lin, di pa sya pinagaralan ng mga ibang opponents.
Now with Amare and Melo, very predictable ang ball movement or in their case non ball movement.
I like Jeremy Lin. Laro lang ng laro matututo din yan. I think perfect sya talaga dito sa NY. Baka mag work sa kanila ang triangle offense?
D'Antoni has no D, but his players do. Put in Lin, Novak, Chandler, Fields and Shumpert. They can penetrate, shoot 3 and post low. Plus, they play D. They won't be elite contenders now, but they sure would win games and keep the ratings up.
^ hardcore Anthony Mason fan ah. ;D
nakakaasar na ang drama ni D12. if you want out of Orlando, tell the whole world where you want to go. para na siyang nagpapansin sa ginagawa niya na pag flip flop sa trade demands niya. M-W-F he wants to play elsewhere, T-TH-S he loves Orlando ang the Magic organization. ::)
at least si Melo, he made it clear to the Nuggets that he wants to be traded to NY and that he will only sign an extension with the Knicks.

speaking of the knicks,talo na naman pala sila vs the bulls.i didn't really expect them to win,but still. :(
Pero sana makapasok man lang ng playoff. Nalalaglag na sila e.
sana matapos na ang trade deadline so we can start watching basketball without drama.
im so sick with all the trade talks.
good thing Drose spoke out that he did not request for a dwight trade to the bulls.
pero in a way i agree with you,this d12 thing is just something that a primadonna would do,not an almost 300lb hulk of a man. :-\
make up your mind already!
Bogut for Kwame?
i know they are both #1 draft picks but it's like another gasol for kwame giveaway deal in '08.
and how come kwame is always in this kind of situation?
maybe jordan wasn't wrong after all in taking him as #1... lol
Here come the trades:
According to Yahoo! Sports, Golden State has agreed to trade Monta Ellis, Ekpe Udoh and Kwame Brown to Milwaukee for Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson. Jackson could play with a vengeance as starting/returning SF for the Warriors. Meanwhile, I'm not sure if a backcourt of Jennings and Ellis will work, and whether Udoh and Brown can replace Bogut's contributions to the Bucks' frontline.
kwame would set a record for the most travelled but unused #1 draft pick. ;D
Sources: D'Antoni Has Lost Respect Of Knicks' Locker Room (http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/story/_/id/7684157/mike-dantoni-lost-new-york-knicks-locker-room-according-sources)
By Chris Broussard | ESPN The Magazine Updated: March 14, 2012, 3:56 AM ET
ewan ko ba bat mahal na mahal ng knicks yan si d antoni at di nila nakikita na coach problema ng knicks.
the linsanity moment dala lang yun ng unpredictability nya since he came out of nowhere, ngayon napagaralan na sya ng mga teams. i still think they should put baron davis as the starting pg or at least increase his minutes.
kala nya ata nasa PHX pa din sya.the way he runs the knicks is pretty much how he used to run the 7 seconds or less offense.
is mike bibby injured?parang di din nya ginagamit ata.
D Antoni almost made it in PHX kso that time he only had Boris Diaw manning the paint at Amare that time, was injured.
With a 6 game losing streak by the Knicks, i think he should experiment Melo not playing together with Lin and Amare and see the results.
He can play Lin and Amare together coz i see chemistry between both players.
Example: Lin, JR Smith, Novak, Stoudamire, Chandler
Davis, Shampert, Fields, Melo, Chandler
they could try to persuade sloan or phil jackson to come out of retirement. ;D
roster overhaul ba kelangan,o coaching change lang?
wag muna masyado pa maaga, besides ang daming bago sa lineup this season para buwagin agad sila like chandler, lin, davis, shumpert etc..
d'antoni is in the last season of his 4 year deal and from what i read the knicks are not planning to give him an extension.
they could try to persuade sloan or phil jackson to come out of retirement. ;D
mike d' antoni resigns!

imagine, the knicks playing defense! :D
yun na! haha. natakot ata baka masibak inunahan na. mike woodson nga ba yung assistant ng knicks? yung dating head coach ng hawks?
about Dwight, kala ko ba he wants to win a ring? lol and he wants to go to the nets? sino meron dun sila lang ni deron pagnagkataon. that is not enough to defeat the elites in the east.
they get beasley for only steve blake?do it then!
I actually like Steve Blake this season.. he's been doing really well since he came back from injury.. the Lakers have actually performed better since he came back.. si Fisher yung problema talaga.. he can't hit shots consistently anymore tapos liabilty pa sa defense.. Blake/Sessions would be better sana than Fisher/Sessions on the PG rotation.. that is kung matuloy nga yung trade..
Gasol Doesn’t Expect To Be Traded
After hearing his name tossed around in trade rumors for months Pau Gasol does not expect to be traded by the Los Angeles Lakers today, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.
Pacers Get Barbosa
The Indiana Pacers, looking to augment their reserves for the stretch run, will acquire veteran guard Leandro Barbosa from the Toronto Raptors for a second-round pick, according to a league source.
Sixers land Young in trade with Grizz
The Memphis Grizzlies have traded swingman Sam Young to the Philadelphia 76ers for future considerations, according to a source.
latest buzz
regarding fisher, he is still a big factor come playoffs but he should come off the bench or at least limit his minutes if he stays as a starter.
clutch pa din si fish imo.
looks like Portland is doing a fire sale.. Jamal Crawford and Gerald Wallace on the way out, it seems.. rebuild mode na yata..
> Dwight Staying With Magic
The fretting is over, Orlando. Dwight Howard has agreed to waive his early termination option to his contract and will be with the Magic for at least another season.
and the biggest news of them all. lakers finally got rid of $5m benchwarmer luke walton! hahaha. ;D
Habulin kaya ng Lakers si Batum sa Portland.. fire sale naman dun eh.. 5 mins left and it looks like the Beasley trade won't happen..
if the Lakers pull this off, Mitch Kupchak is more clutch than Lebron. :D

pao9307 said it a while back ago, he was right all along :o
negotiations for Beasley to the Lakers reportedly fell off
>:( >:( >:(
Derek Fisher traded to the Rockets for Jordan Hill + 1st round pick :o :o :o
what???tinapon ng NYK sa houston yang #8 pick na yan right?ang haba na ng Lakers. ;D
wow i did not expect fisher to be traded. i was wishing for him to retire a laker!
and the biggest news of them all. lakers finally got rid of $5m benchwarmer luke walton! hahaha. ;D
kaya nga!ibang iba na ang management ng Lakers ever since the younger Buss took over.si KB lang ata ang hindi expendable.or isn't he? ???
it actually surprised me na someone took on this chump's contract.
haha and i thought dan gilbert is one of the biggest laker hater. lol.
he gave up a good pg in sesssions and took a big contract from useless walton.
Kobe for Lebron... straight up! :D
malabo bro! ;D
ikaw si Riles papayag ka? ;D
Dan Gilbert helped out the Lakers because we can be the WC team that can stop Lebron and the Heat in the Finals.
if they can get past the bulls. hehe.
now I'm really interested in what Kobe has to say about this.. he loves D-Fish.. he wanted Gasol to stay and he hated losing Lamar so he spoke out.. I wonder what he's going to say about this..
yes. i don't want a diva choker on my team. :D
pero 3 years max ata na lang bro ang peak ni KB before he starts declining..tindi lang ng conditioning ng taong yun e.
or the Knicks.. Miami vs. NYK 1st round upset.. BOOK IT! ;D ;D ;D
three team deal, nene goes to wizards, mcgee goes to denver and nick young goes to the clips.
a 3 team deal but Clippers didn't lose anyone.. ;D
fire sale na talaga sa Portland.. they just fired McMillan.. :o
di ba galing din ng san antonio dati si stephen jackson?
Yes sir. He even won a ring there vs. Jason Kidd's Nets sa Finals.
The Fisher trade really stings. But it's a business. Looks like they don't intend to have him bought out so that he can come back to LA - which makes the Lakers' game at Houston next week *interesting*. Yeah, I'm also looking forward to hear what Kobe has to say about this.
Somewhat surprised that the Celtics didn't make a move. At least their Big Three will ride off into the sunset together...
yun yata ung maiksi din ung season
Here's the thing that will sting more. Even if Fisher is bought out in Houston, under the new CBA... Fisher can't resign with LA during the current season. So talagang lost na siya until matapos yun 2012 season. Earliest would be next season na.
For Boston, I guess Ainge learned a lesson na from last year where they were under the very same circumstance they are in now. Last year he panicked in making a trade after all the injuries happened. He destroyed the team's chemistry and it cost them a run to the finals. So mas conservative na siya this year,
or the Knicks.. Miami vs. NYK 1st round upset.. BOOK IT! ;D ;D ;D
D12 + D.Will + D-irk = D-allas
D12 opted in so he'll still be under contract for one more season 2012-2013.
Did he he exercise his option? As I understand it, what he meant was he will stay in Orlando until the end of the current season.
or the Knicks.. Miami vs. NYK 1st round upset.. BOOK IT! ;D ;D ;D
Saw it now...he did.
he didn't actually.. he had an early termination option on his contract that had he used, would have made him a free agent after this season.. his contract was actually up to 2012-2013.. but he waived his option and decided to stay for the rest of the season and the 2012-2013 season as well..
nah it'll just a repeat of their last meeting. chalmers and cole with swallow JLin whole. kaya ayoko makatapat ng NY ang Miami sa 1st round. gusto ko sa conference finals para bugbugan uli just like the 90's ;Dand it's not a question of if the Heat can get past the Bulls. it's a question of if the Bulls can get past the Heat ;D
dapat Miami traded LBJ for D12 eh hehehe :D
If phil wont come back, how about jerry sloan? Or the recently fired nate mcmillan?
it's sad that Greg Oden was cut.Another player with great potential strikes out because of health issues. :'(
Which brings me to this quasi survey:who has the worst luck in the league,the clippers or the blazers?
Mitch Kupchak should be in the running for GM/Executive of the Year for getting rid of Luke Walton
:D
Both teams were cursed with their big men although the Blazers won a championship with Bill Walton who incidentally also suited up for the Clippers. Too bad his knees just didn't hold up but he got better in the latter stage of his career & also won a championship with the Celtics. Portland then drafted Sam Bowie as a number 2 pick bypassing Michael Jordan. Got injured, gone & forgotten. Then Greg Oden, injured & was recently cut. The Clippers on the other hand drafted "The Silk" Michael Olowokondi who turned out to be a flop. Blake Griffin got injured after being drafted. But luck is finally on their side with Griffin healthy, a promising big man in Deandre Jordan & of course CP3.
may galit ka kay luke walton bro? ;D
Bill Walton's numerous foot injuries are the ones that did him in. Several surgeries to sculpt the bones in his foot didn't help. He even had a specially engineered pair of bball shoes done.

Galing ng moves ng LA to bolster its bid this year. Not only did they become younger, faster, bigger and more athletic in acquiring Sessions and Hill, they did shed payroll at the same time by unloading the overpaid Walton and the very one dimensional player in Kapono. Pity though that Fisher was included in the deal but such is the nature of the business and him being the president of the players association would understand why it has to be done. If he weren't traded he would be part of a 4 guard rotation with Sessions, Blake, Morris which doesn't make sense at all.
The Beasley trade simply didn't materialize because LA's front office really didn't want to add on salary.
The Beasley trade simply didn't materialize because LA's front office really didn't want to add on salary.
The Lakers were seven minutes from getting Michael Beasley.
Then the plug was pulled by Minnesota owner Glen Taylor on an agreed-upon trade, canceling a three-team transaction that would have sent Derek Fisher to Minnesota, not Houston, according to an NBA official who is not authorized to speak publicly.
In the nixed deal, the Lakers would have sent Portland the first-round pick they obtained from Dallas in the Lamar Odom trade. Portland would have sent Jamal Crawford to Minnesota, and Minnesota would have sent Anthony Tolliver to Portland. The Lakers and Portland would have also given an undisclosed amount of cash to Minnesota.
Both front offices thought a deal was done but Taylor blocked it.
The Lakers scurried and sent Fisher to the Rockets along with a first-round draft pick for forward-center Jordan Hill, just beating the Thursday noon PDT trade deadline. The draft pick was the one obtained in the Odom trade.
According to the official, the Lakers were "whisker-close" to getting Beasley, who would have been a solid asset in addition to Cleveland guard Ramon Sessions.

Agree bro. Now, who do you think should start, Blake or Sesions?
Sessions should start with Blake providing scoring punch for the second unit. The first five of LA would be deadly in Sessions, Bryant, World Peace, Gasol and Bynum. Second unit would be Blake, Goudelock, Barnes, Murphy/McRoberts and Hill.
Dumami yung interchangeable parts ng LA with Sessions and Hill.
On hindsight, with Fisher being in Houston rather than coming in second fiddle to Session and/or Blake, he could still provide that guidance and wisdom to the Rockets while having the opportunity to play as well.

Happy with Sessions' first game as a Laker ;D He'll get better as the season progresses and he gets to practice and play more with the Lakers.
^ LOL.. nice one :D
Derek Fisher reportedly already had a buy out agreement with the Rockets. Miami and OKC are interested in signing him. he can't go back to the Lakers since it's forbidden under the new collective bargaining agreement.

Fish wont be a fit in Miami's defensive scheme. He's too old and not fast enough to keep up with their frenetic defense and he's a major liability on the pick and roll for years now. The Heat would be better signing Ronny Turiaf to help their weak frontline.
I think OKC should grab Derek while they can. He can spare Westbrook a couple of minutes and provide added leadership and playoff moxie when they need it.

Derek Fisher is in ''advanced negotiations'' to sign with the OKC Thunder
what happened to this guy? used to be a superstar
what is it with mike woodson that d' antoni doesn't have,that the knicks are playing like this?if this kind of play keeps up,put sloan or pjax on the backburner for the timebeing. ;D
i'm liking JLin's style of play right now. he's being more of a facilitator rather than a shoot first PG. bumaba na TOs nya and ang taas na ng efficiency.

Dayum! Ramon Sessions is the real deal! He's really running the LAL's offense perfectly right now as Los Angeles is demolishing Dallas. Buuuuutttt...this is the LAkers so, I wouldn't be surprised if they lose that big lead in the end. *sigh* Hope with Sessions around and getting familiar with the team, this won't be a problem in the future.
it's 90-76 right now in favor of the Lakers.
oh and New York Knicks won again! ;D
After signing an agreement prior to tip-off, Derek Fisher will play his first game for the Oklahoma City Thunder against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
it's 90-76 right now in favor of the Lakers.

Oklahoma will play the Lakers at Staples next Friday 10:30 AM Manila time. Should be a weird game for the Lakers and their fans, now that Fisher is with OKC. :-\
Woodson-ITY naman..... hahahaha
do you think they'd boo kupchak and/or buss,similar to what they did with Lacob in GS?
I doubt it.. they gave Sessions an ovation in his first game so the Laker fans like the team's moves during the trade deadline.. and with Sessions' game against Dallas kanina, letting go of Fisher was worth it.. even Kobe seems to like it..
i'm liking JLin's style of play right now. he's being more of a facilitator rather than a shoot first PG. bumaba na TOs nya and ang taas na ng efficiency.
who dare say RIP LIN? he's been playing well and just adjusting to complement Melo.
NY looks good w/ D'Antoni out.
Excellent decision by Fisher to sign with the young thunder team.
He can now give more experience to the Thunder in crucial stages of the game specially come playoffs.
NY looks good w/ D'Antoni out.
+100
never liked him when he was coaching the Suns, never liked him when he was coaching the Knicks
;)
wala ka kahapon ata brader a. ;D
this Mike Woodson interim coach thing sure is looking good right now. If I were Grunwald,I wouldn't take the word'interim' off just yet. Baka maging kampante at mawala intensity nya.

no doubt Woodson is doin a great job securing the 8 spot for NY in the playoffs but if NY is serious in its campaign in the years to come, then they better hire a Championship Caliber Coach starting next season.
a coach like flip saunders may give you the best record in the eliminations but come playoff time, the team just breaks down huling huling ang diskarte nya ng opposing coaches.
who are you guys betting the Knicks get as head coach (assuming of course Mike Woodson won't be considered)?
Fisher will forever be remembered and loved by the fans in LA.
He didnt quit LA but was traded so its beyond his control to leave LA.

di na babalik yun si phil jackson, sobrang tanda na nun. nagsstruggle na nga yun pag road games minsan.
onga.,media hype lang ang PhilJax rumors, he's not gonna risk tarnishing his health or reputation to coach a flawed roster.
Si Sloan, malabo din. Kung si PhilJax 66, si Sloan almost 70 yrs old na. Tapos loyal pa sa Jazz. He stuck with them through their rebuilding mode when Malone and Stockton left, unlikely to be lured by NY glitz.
I think they should stick it out with Woodson this season, he's doing a pretty good job so far and he was solid as a coach for the Hawks. If Woodson gets failing grades this season, they should pursue Flip or Nate Mac next.
Mike Budenholzer
Don’t recognize this name? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. I’ll admit, I didn’t know much about Mike Budenholzer either, but with all the “experienced” coaches constantly being recycled around the league, it’s nice to hear someone new being mentioned for head-coaching vacancies.
Here’s the background info on Budenholzer: He was hired by Gregg Popovich in 1994 as San Antonio’s video coordinator and quickly rose through the ranks within the organization. Budenholzer has spent the last 18 years with the Spurs—the last five as Popovich’s top assistant.
Anyone who has spent nearly two decades working alongside Popovich should be well prepared to lead an NBA team into battle. It’s unlikely that the Knicks will hand the franchise over to someone with no NBA head-coaching experience, but maybe the Trail Blazers will try to bring some of that winning tradition from San Antonio up north to Portland.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1114908-nba-rumors-power-ranking-the-available-coaching-candidates-for-knicks-blazers
yeah,I'm with you on pursuing Nate Mac if the Woodson thing doesn't work out.
But umaasa pa din ako kay Sloan. ;D
parang masabi lang na may HOF center na nagtuturo kay D12.
Boris Diaw on his way to San Antonio?
thats going to be a good pickup for the spurs.
at buti na din tinanggal na nila si RJ at wala naman natutulong yun dun.
si tom thibodeau nga dati ko kilala. hehe. sya pala long time asst ni doc rivers. i think he deserves a back to back coach of the year award.
mukhang wa epek yung mga turo ni ewing kay dh12, kitang kita sa post moves nya. lol.

Clippers struggling right now.. they've lost 9 of their 15 games this month.. last week lang, they were no. 3 in the West.. they're really feeling the loss of Billups now..
That was just a hip check on Blake. He wasn't even up in the air. Funny how instead of checking on Blake, his teammates go after the guy who hit him. Don't tell me Blake is such a pu$$y that he can't shake something like this off.mukhang malakas yung tama bro, BUTI nalang di pa sya naka elevate. maraming gumagawa nito, madalas nabibigla lang yung nabibigyan.
That flagrant foul on Griffin didn't seem that dangerous since he was not yet airborne. But just the same, no place for that kind of a play in the NBA.don't know if you guys play ball but notice the neck and shoulder, for me that will take few minutes to recover from. iba yung feeling ng ganyan bump :-\
But this, on the other hand, must have really hurt Mick Pennisi...

don't know if you guys play ball but notice the neck and shoulder, for me that will take few minutes to recover from. iba yung feeling ng ganyan bump :-\
funny lang yung part na iika-ika sya when he stood up. :D
^ Wow. Hope he's going to be okay. It's been reported as a "closed head" injury.
That OKC-MIN game has to be one of the best this season. Must be a record of some sort to have 3 players score at least 40 each. Sayang effort ni Kevin Love.
Westbrook playing like Wade i hope OKC can invest on a young point guard next season and put Westbrrok at the 2 guard.
in the meantime, Fish can play the point to make OKC a more dangerous attacking, running team.
And then there’s Dwyane Wade. Erik Spoelstra has kept Wade’s minutes down to a career-low 32.9 per game thanks to a torrid stretch where the Heat were blowing out everybody and Wade forgot what it was like to play in the fourth quarter. On a per-36 minutes basis, Wade and LeBron are set to become the first teammates to average 25 points-5 rebounds-5 assists in the history of the league. Put it all together and you begin to see why LeBron and Wade look down on everyone else in the PER rankings . Then throw in the fact that they play all-world defense, which is the blind spot of PER.
Sorry, Durant and Westbrook, you’re just not on their level yet.

eto ba ang first quadruple ot game?
Erik Spoelstra on Thunder: "They kicked our butts, we know it, we’ll own it."
Can't wait for the Playoffs though. Heat played like crap also for a stretch right before the playoffs last year, i think it was like 5 in a row the heat lost, then they went made a run. Im not even worried...
yet. hehe
i'm going to wait for their game in Miami's homecourt before i believe that OKC is the team to beat.
since 1997.. Suns beat Blazers, 140-139 on Nov. 14, 1997.. this 4OT game only had 139-133 score.. just a few days ago, OKC-Min went to just 2OT but the final score was 149-140..
btw, OKC just dominated Miami earlier.. especially in that 4th Q.. ang daming easy baskets ng OKC.. Ibaka and Perkins had their way with the Heat big men.. this OKC team is almost a complete team.. deadly scorers in Durant and Westbrook.. tough big men in Ibaka and Perkins.. super-sub in James Harden.. plus the vet in Derek Fisher.. team to beat na talaga 'to..
Spurs list Tim Duncan as “DND – OLD”
Why Knicks might not miss Stoudemire
Amare Stoudemire is out indefinitely with a bulging disk in his back. The New York Knicks won without him on Monday, and are 6-1 this season in games that Stoudemire has missed.
But does that make New York a better team when Stoudemire is out of the lineup?
In the seven games Stoudemire has missed opponents have scored 89.4 points per game and shot 40.7 percent from the floor.
In the 43 games Stoudemire has played, the Knicks are five games under .500 (19-24). Opponents average more than 95 points per game and shoot better than 44 percent from the floor.
Stoudemire's plus-minus rating this season is -47. The only player on the Knicks with a worse plus-minus is Mike Bibby at -77.

sabi nga ni mike woodson,e they will be forced to win by playing defense.good for them then.
just because he made one in their previous game, doesn't mean he can try it again. :D
Who knows if he can still convert another if he didnt try again. LOL. . .
Probably Bynum would want to morph into a player like Kevin Love...40 points today...inside outside game...3 point shooing champion. That guy is a nightmare to guard.
Andrew Bynum benched in the 3rd quarter for attempting (and missing) a 3 pointer with lots of time left in the shot clock. jeez.. what the hell was he thinking?! :D

Carlos Boozer is playing very well for the Bulls despite the absence of D ROSE, he has stepped up and inspired his teamates.
in other news:
linless and stat- less knicks still win over magic..
by 22 points!! :o
my goodness! ;D
kung ganito nilalaro ng NY e nightmare matchup na number 8 seed to. ;D
Sino kayang mananalo ng Most Improved Player this year?
Madami atang kandidato:
Nikola Pekovic
Jeremy Lin
Ryan Anderson
Andrew Bynum
Kyle Lowry
Demarcus Cousins
Ty Lawson
James Harden (probably should win 6th man)
Greg Monroe
Ersan Ilyasova
i like ty lawson, medyo late na yung kay lin tapos injured pa ngayon.. But its just my opinion.. :)
id vote bynum for most improved, hes just beasting this year.
and james harden for 6th man.
Black Mamba strikes again! This time, a 3 with a lucky bounce.
.. Delikado pa knicks sa bucks sa last spot..
i hope dallas stays at the 6th spot and face the lakers in the 1st round. its payback for last season. dallas is just too weak this year to contend for a repeat.
blake griffin owns gasol. ;Dhahaha two monster dunks
be careful with what you wish bro, it's different in playoffs.. nobody predicted Mavs to win it all last year..
Bynum should put Blake Griffin on his @ss the next time he goes for a dunk. A playoff type foul ala McHale clothesline on Rambis would suffice.
And I bet World Peace make it to all defensive team this year.
amazing the way the Spurs are playing and they may just be on top of the standings either at the WEST or over all should OKC and CHI lose 1 or 2 more games.
Kaso remember what happened last year? They where also number 1 sa west.
last year is last year.imho,legit pa din ang SA. :)
true. SA is the real deal this year. they have a lot more interchangeable parts than last year. Manu was not in the lineup for 2/3rds of the year however they never felt his absence. The emergence of Tiago Splitter and Blair also offsets the days when Duncan is either not feeling it or forced to sit down due age.
Sana Indiana Pacers [with George Hill] vs. San Antonio Spurs sa NBA Finals.
with OKC losing to IND the Spurs are now on top of the standings in the WEST.
ang ganda ng pagkabalasa ni POPS sa mga players nya.
he's not burning out the old pieces like manu and tim and keeping them fresh for the playoffs.
i think POPS should be honored as Coach of the Year for playing the right cards to put the Spurs on top despite a not so fancy line up.
another coach who's been doin wonders of his team is Mchale. Houston is just playing well w/o the BIG NAMES.
true dat!as much as i don't like the spurs (boring style comes to mind) e they play great team ball.they prove the old adage correct (no pun intended) that age really is just a number.
good luck sa ratings kung sila magkita sa Finals. ;D
Again...same team...same results due to Bynum not being able to control his temper. His behavior is really becoming a problem for the team.

They even wore knee high socks last week.. Spurs - heat sa finals for me..

Nasabi ko lang yung Spurs vs. Pacers kasi baka maka-tsamba ang Spurs at makapasok sila sa NBA Finals, ang gusto ko na makalaban nila ay ang Pacers.
I'm happy to see that the [Texas Triangle] trio [Spurs, Mavericks, Rockets] are in the Magic 8.
I'm, also, happy to see that the Southwest Division has 4 teams [Spurs, Grizzlies, Mavericks, Rockets] in the Magic 8.

Kobe finally sits out a game because of an injury this season.. swollen shin.. I noticed that he was limping after every shot yesterday against Houston.. he wasn't as aggressive.. with the West so tight, his teammates have to step up or they'd lose that 3rd spot in a flash..
2011-12: MVP - OKC's KEVIN DURANT
Agree. Lebron will be a close second in the voting.
If Durant wins MVP, I also have a feeling that the MVP curse will haunt him this year.
Knicks - 100 Bulls - 99

I wonder if the Spurs mgmt will re-sign Diaw, kung sakaling maganda ang contribution ni Diaw at mag-Champion ang Spurs.
Malaki pala ang tsansa ng Spurs na maging back-to-back champs, sa 2 shortened NBA seasons. :D
they are amazing. tahimik lng pero they're now on top of the standings.
If the Spurs don't get hit by injuries, I'd say they will be the dark horse in the West.. they're practically the same team that topped the West last season.. and this shortened season is good for Duncan and Manu.. maybe another post-lockout crown for the Spurs?
this was my post 4 days after the season opened.. I just realized that I've been following the Spurs all season long even though I'm no fan.. I was even more interested in their first 11-game winning streak than Linsanity during February.. and if they get the 1st seed, there's a chance they would get payback on the Grizzlies in the 2nd round if the standings stay the same..
i'm also no fan of the Spurs.
Before its always Tim, manu, tony and boring to watch them play but now POPS has added more flavors and spices to his main ingredients and now they are a lot more fun to watch.
odom parted ways with the mavs..
babalik kaya ng lakers? or miami?
pag nakuha sya uli ng lakeshow.. this would be the best underground deal that ever happened to lakeshow..
mitch kupchak for pres... ;D
It just shows how unprofessional he is. From the start his body language showed that he is not happy with the mavs and wants to go back to LA. Unlike DFish, he ain't man enough to face new challenges. Cry baby! >:(

just curious.
with the wiz and cats game coming up,who do you think would lose?since they're both vying for a better shot at the lottery. ;D
^ good point bro, worst record gets higher combination in lottery kaya lang I don't think they will intentionally lose a game for the lottery because they need to develop winning attitude lalo na sa younger players nila.. And also the Fans, lalo na yung mga season ticket holders baka di na umulit next year..
and unlike in NFL where the worst team automatically gets 1st pick, sa NBA at least nasa 4 teams ang vying for 1st pick.. although may chance din yung ibang non-playoff teams pero mababa na chance nila..
And now for some DWade news that completely makes me hate on him:
Wade wants NBA Olympic players paid.
http://espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/story/_/id/7801502/nba-olympians-compensated
What a douche. Where's your sense of honor or pride to represent your country?! You play in the Olympics for honor and glory (and medals should be enough compensation). Instead of worrying if the Euro teams have improved, you're more worried about getting a slice of the jerseys team USA sell and what not. Dude! You're getting boatloads of money even when you sleep via endorsements. What's a little sacrifice for the red, white and blue every four years, eh?

even if they lose ALL of their games,that still doesn't guarantee a shot at landing the #1 pick.correct me if im wrong,pero you get what, a 25,30% shot,at best?
unless they have the luck of orlando back in the 90's,if memory serves me right e they got shaq in 93 and penny in 94.
besides,imo,teams who tank games should be fined and should be stripped of their picks.kaso,pano mo nga naman malalaman if they're intentionally losing games,or talagang ganun lang ang talent (or lack thereof) nila?
talk about turning back the clock:
SA and Boston!
team you don't want to face in the first round:
west: memphis
east: knicks (since im obviously a knick fan ;D )
what's yours?
dywane wade wasn't the first one to speak about this and it's actually Ray Allen. do you hate him too? Wade was asked about the issue and just gave his opinion. he just said they "should" and not "must" pay those who are participating in the olympics. it's not like he's saying he's not gonna play unless they get paid.
Any way you cut it, you place an opinion suggesting how you should get paid if you play in an event like the Olympics, you bypass patriotism in lieu of the all mighty moolah. I swear the Dream Team never thought of money when they played in Barcelona in 1992.
I'm not concern with the KNicks, unless Amare plays.. Mas nakakatakot is Sixers I think, their D is just superb, pero sa west Memphis should really be avoided..
Ot. medyo D fanatic kais ko..

the sixers?right now?nah.they couldn't guard anyone at this point.
and hey,NY won against milwaukee!
playoff bid starting to look good! :)
agree.. the 1st dream team played for honor, glory and redemption.. coz they knew its a once in a lifetime for them to get their medals... pinagaagawan pa nga yung mga slots which even nagka issue pa ang tampuhan.
but now, i guess nothing is about the medal anymore.. nawala ang pride.... dapat siguro wala munang mga nba professional players sa basketball sa olympics.. make them hungry again... make hard for them to acquire that medal... and their mindset will change.
these guys kasi, they know that its easy for them to be included in the olympics e.. kaya binabalewala nalang. unlike before during pre dream team 1.
Holy sheeet!
LAkers manhandling the Spurs. On the Road! Without Kobe! And Metta World Peace burning hoops like the player formerly known as Ron Artest!
Oh, and there's Bynum with 19 rebound at the half (whole Spurs only got 18 total) and 24 and counting as we play the 4th Q.
Will the LAkers predictably let the Spurs back? Let's see.
I’m reading a lot of reports coming out about my comments re: the Olympics and compensation. And I want to clear this up personally...I responded 2 a specific question asked by a reporter on my thoughts of Olympians being paid. I never asked to be paid to PLAY. What I was referencing is there is a lot of Olympic business that happens that athletes are not a part of. It’s a complicated issue. BUT my love 4 the game & pride 4 USA motivates me more than any dollar amount. I repped my country in 2004 when we won the silver medal and stood proudly to receive our gold medal in 2008 in Beijing. It’s always been an honor for me to be a part of the USA Olympic family & I’m looking forward to doing it again in London this summer.
Hold your horses :)
From DWades FB Page Click Here (https://www.facebook.com/dwyanewade)
He is basically saying the producers or whatever of the Olympics are making money out of the Athletes etc BUT money is not an issue etc.
yeah I was wrong.. but Bucks is playing better na ah, good move yung trade nila kay Ellis, need to fix their D..

Kobe-less Lakers blow out the Spurs with MWP's 26 points and Bynum's monster 30 rebounds!!! Baka naman pumusta muna si Gregg Pop tutal leading naman sila eh. Hehe. But seriously, this is good for the Lakers, learning how to play without Kobe.
GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO! :D ;D
if they go up against the Miami Heat in the 1st round.. i sense a big upset :D ;D
yeah, a big upset.. a big number of New York fans will be upset.. ;D ;D ;D
LOL :D :D :D
if Orlando would dump SVG in the offseason, i think Larry Brown would be a good replacement. ;)

nakakasar na talaga si D12.. to the point na nabawasan na ang inis ko kay Lebron. ;D

i'm suddenly reminded of my own knucklehead moment:
back in high school,we were practicing for a game vs olivarez college.my teammate stole a pass,took his time in making the layup since kaming dalawa na lang yung bumaba for the break.
and then i lebroned him by blocking his shot from the blind side. ;D ??? ;D
i was suspended by my coach for the next game. ;D ;D
sorry sa OT ;D

you played in HS bro? san ka.. I played also in Bapsaa in Paranque.. baka nagkalaban pa tyo.. I'm from a small school lang, ST. John..
just watched it on youtube, ang alam ko it's unethical (in the NBA) for the winning team to attempt a shot with a few seconds remaining with the outcome of the game already decided. kaya most of the time, the winning team (if they have possesion of the ball) would just dribble around until the game time expires. what Steve Blake did was right, and Bynum clearly showed (again) his immaturity.
nangyari na yan before kay Sasha ''The Machine'' Vujacic when he was still a Laker. i can't remember which team they were up against, but nagkaroon pa ng little controversy after Vujacic launched a 3 with time winding down and the Lakers were already up by a huge margin. the opposing team's head coach and some players were clearly pissed as they considered it as adding insult to injury.
ano kayang klaseng machine itong si sasha?

Miami's problem is the lack of a good PG who can run good plays and feed LBJ, Wade and especially Bosh! LBJ and Wade are not point guards who create situations. They would rather shoot and score. If Miami wants to be champion, they need a Steve Nash and, perhaps a more respected coach than Erik Spoelstra (sorry kabayan ha?). Hmmm, think about it. Steve Nash on the point. Bosh will score 20 or 30 every night!!!
A good PG will benefit Bosh. But not LBJ or Wade. Both need the ball in their hands to be effective.
pero will the phoenix suns let go of nash? si nash din kasi may pagka martyr, same with grant hill.

Injuries have been the only thing holding Bynum down for the most part of his career. He's probably better than Dwight Howard offensively right now. I don't see any center with the kind of footwork he displays when he's posting up or facing the basket. Pity he didn't develop the hook shot when he was still training under Kareem. His glaring weakness though is his immaturity.
whats the final score sa lakers vs mavs kanina?
Pau Gasol made back-to-back 3 pointers in OT :o
mukha naman bagay sa kanya and he has the respect of his teammates kasi. he knows how to give instructions to the players.
really great players do not make really great coaches,most of the time. ;D
what if gasol missed those treys?
would he be criticized the way bynum was when centers took treys instead of playing just inside the paint?

prior to their win against Dallas kanina, how many 3's did Pau attempt the whole season?
not really since gasol has a decent midrange game. he's usually money in the 10-15 footer range. unlike bynum who is solely a post up player and has zero midrange game.
lol 23 attempts na.
last season he only had 3 attemps at the 3. takot ma sermonan ni pjax.
did anyone see Bynum leaning his head on the shoulder of Pau after making those treys...
aside from POWER and FINESSE, there is also LOVE ;D

oo nga.. masakit ang nangyayari sa Knicks. di bale, ganyan din naman ang 1999 NY Knicks eh, puro talo sa lockout shortened season, pero bumawi naman sa playoffs. ;D

Let's talk about the Knicks, :).. balik na raw si Amare sa Thursday..
7th or 8th spot na lang sila so either MIA or CHI.. parehong great defensive team, Amare can help Melo on Offensive side.. :)
only chance in hell ata ng knicks to survive the first round ay.... ???
teka wala akong maisip na paraan. ;D
unless maka 6th place sila and face indiana, medyo ok match up nila noh?
a miracle c/o the basketball gods. ;)
Great win by Knicks vs Boston today, 118-110.
Whoa! Payback time for San Antonio as they are currently demolishing the LAkers at Staples. :o
whats the latest score?
Speaking about inconsistencies, Nagkalat nanaman ang Lakers.
Great win by NY but they are headed into a collision course with the LeBroom led Heat in the 1st round of the playoffs so thats not a good sign even if Melo is playing well w/o Amare.
It's officially Melo's team now :) maganda din talaga nangyari yun Linsanity and wakeup call for Melo and the Knicks management. Let's go to the playoffs!
let's not forget the lockout shortened season of '99 bro. almost everyone else discounted the Knicks back then.sa spurs lang sila tumaob. :)
malay mo,the miracle factor is still there. ;D
throw the regular season stats and records out the window, the playoffs is a whole different thing.
it doesn't matter if you're the no.1 seed, if you play like crap naman against the other playoff teams.
HCA is nothing if you don't know how to take care of it.
let's not forget the lockout shortened season of '99 bro. almost everyone else discounted the Knicks back then.sa spurs lang sila tumaob. :)

being a knick fan,and right now nasa #7 ang NY,who would you rather face:the bulls or the heat?
for me,id rather the bulls,esp now na wala pa si drose. ;D
yes NY-Miami is a great series but as a NY fan I don't like to face Miami :-) for bulls naman deng is nursing an injury and d.rose is just coming off an injury so good news for NY if they were to face Chicago
i agree, memphis is the dark horse sa Western Conference. just like last year.
Should NY upsets MIA in the 1st round of the playoffs, then Coach Woodson may keep his job as head coach for next season and Coach SPO out of MIA?bka di lng si spo bro, bka break na rin big 3 :)

sounds like aged, but as long as NBA plays 4 quarters and Lebron plays in Miami, i dont think Miami will raise a championship trophy,naku don't say that sir, i already placed my bet on the big 3, mababa yung odds pero i think this is lbj's year.. Spurs or heat lang, hehe..
im sure a lot of people will quote my post and will ridicule me after a couple of months if Miami gets the championship but its ok, kwentuhan at bigyan lang naman ng opinyon so be nice to me people pag nagkamali ako ha hehehehehehe.
naku don't say that sir, i already placed my bet on the big 3, mababa yung odds pero i think this is lbj's year.. Spurs or heat lang, hehe..
right now heat and okc are the teams to beat. so kung maari mas maganda maiwasan sila ng maaga sa playoffs
For me its, Goodbye Bosh hello Gortat/Nash. ^_^
NY-Miami in the first round looks interesting. I would like to see a James-Carmelo match up and I believe the presence of Tyson Chandler is more than adequate to stop Wade and James from driving towards the lane all the time. Amare and Bosh negate each other. Is Amare healthy now? I can see the Knicks possibly upsetting the Heat. But Chicago? I wouldn't bet on it.
Too much advantage for the Bulls. The Bulls are a better defensive team than the Heat.Luol Deng is a better man-to-man and perimeter defender than James IMHO. Noah plays like Chandler defensively while the other Chicago bigs like Boozer, Gibson and Asik will be too much length for the Knicks to handle. And Rip Hamilton looks like he's peaking just in time. Oh, and don't forget DRose. Like all speedy, athletic PGs, it's close to impossible to guard him, especially on a pick and roll.
if drose can't play,it's an entirely different story.id rather bulls muna sa 1st round.ooh ilang days na lang playoffs na. ;D
id rather na utah makapasok sa 8th spot para mapalaban ng konti yung spurs sa 1st round. ang weak kasi ng lineup ng suns.
at least utah has a pretty decent lineup in big al, hayward, millsap, harris etc..
im hoping the lakers would not lose another game para di sila bumaba ng 4th spot, kaso alanganin sila sa next 2 games with spurs and okc.im hoping na makaiwas sila sa memphis sa 1st round. ;D

pacers and grizz.who are yours?
How many games ba ang eliminations? db ang short season 62 games lng? parang hndi matapos tapos ang elimination games as i'm already excited na sa playoffs.66 games bro.. Dark horse? i like celtics if they will not face heat.. And grizzles for wc, if they will not face spurs.. Bulls and okc could go deep but me thinks they need more experience..

Thanks for the infos.exactly, if kg, pierce and rondo are ok, this team is still scary.. They can win i think with or without allen now, he's a liability on d side..
66 games? Then there still be lots of changes in the current standings.
how far the Celtics can go into the playoffs will depend on the aging KG and the injured Rey Allen.
its a gruelling 7 games playoffs in each round so health and stamina are the factors each team should consider.
Everybody likes the Mia, lal, lac, okc, and nyc.... however, the sas are going under the radar...
They got swept last season sa 1st round, but knowing Greg Popovich and Tim Duncan - THEY ALWAYS DO WAY BETTER AFTER A LUCKLUSTER PERFORMANCE...
A big testament to this is after getting blown out on a game, they go on a winning spree... usually with blowout wins din..
The lakers were the latest victim of that.
SAS-CHI on the finals.
If rose is healthy, chi has a chance, if not, the spurs will run away with its 5th, and Duncan might retire.
;D
I think nobody remembers that Ginobili played with an injury last year in the playoffs. That made all the difference. I think it was an elbow injury.
Miami whether critics like them or not remains the team to beat with their BIG 3.
As we can see, no matter how bad they play, they are still in the TOP 4 in the league in terms of standings so its really hard to count them out becoz of the explosiveness of WADE and LBJ.
I want a LAkers-Celtics Finals. I can live without the Heat, Bulls, Thunder, Spurs, Clippers etc for the moment. When you watch a LAkers-Celtics Finals, it's like watching your parents fight. You know there's gonna be drama, history and bad blood mixed into the series. I don't see anything even close to that in the now with any other team.
The big 2.5 (bosh only gets a .5) hehehe..
TRUE! LBJ and WADE are very explosive players indeed, very talented and athletic, with good basketball IQ too.
However, LBJ has yet to shake off his "choke" moments come crunch time.
Wade though, loves those moments :)
Miami is indeed a hard team to beat...
darkhorses:
pacers and grizz.who are yours?
As a Celtics fan, I really think this team can now beat any team in the playoffs, including Bulls, Heat, Spurs.
Isa lang ang kinatatakutan ko ngayon... Lakers! Because of legit twin towers of Bynum and Gasol.
malakas pa ba celts? fave team ko kaya lang di na nakasunod sa mga games and parang di ko na masyado naririnig na pinag usapan celts eh
Hehe... naghihingalo sila with the oldies. Pero dahil wise and magaling coach meron sila tsamba!

D12 apparently already gave up on the magic.mukhang he stayed on to just finish the year just to avoid taking (more?) hits to his already tarnished image. :-\
full of drama.. if he goes to brooklyn, ang dami ng may big 3, kawawa naman ibang teams, wala man lang maski 1 elite.. eto pa, Love might also look for a bigger market next year.. ???
Kevin Love signed a 4-year extension with the Wolves last January so he won't be going anywhere soon unless he's traded..
yep, but if nothing happens this offseason sa wolves, mag request na yan for a trade..
yep, but if nothing happens this offseason sa wolves, mag request na yan for a trade..The wolves are fine, they were contending for a playoff spot before Rubio got injured, i don't sense that Love is disgruntled at all. They also solved their problem at the C slot with the much improved Pekovic (15.2 ppg, 8.3 rpg in 33 starts). They just need some talented wing players, but they have some cap space and tradeable assets to fix that next year.

Baka maging kapalit pa ni kg sa celts yun.. Ngayun puro big market na gusto ng mga players probably because of endorsements din, pero when a team trade its player business daw,pero when a player request for a trade, selfish naman..
Kahn for GM of the year!!! ;D

Im looking forward to a possible miami vs new york in the first round. Pareho madami scorers. Miami has the big 3, ny has melo, amare, jr smith, and novak, maybe even chandler. Grabe yung ny vs celts, 1st half 72 point agad. But I expect mia to win, I just hope ny can make a series out of it.

Recently lng celtics limited pacers to 75 pts sa indiana pa, kya surprising yun.. Malamang dina maulit yun..
Tingin ko pacers or spurs magchachampion.... :D
Tingin ko pacers or spurs magchachampion.... :D
^ yeah I think IND is scarier than BOS.
Problema 'tong si Parker. He's a legitimate MVP candidate IMO.
Shame on you, Ron Artest! That was a clear cheap shot. I'm a Laker fan but he deserves to be suspended for that elbow to James Harden. At least 5 games, in my opinion. I just hope Harden is alright. That was one strong blow to the head. May bwelo pa talaga.
Probably Artest will get a 4 day suspension instead of 5 games given the fact that it's a truncated season. Just like what happened to his co- hooligan team mate Bynum.
One positive note though....the emergence of Hill. The kid can play.
It seems to me that the Knicks are trying to avoid and early collision course with Miami.
They are now tied with the Sixers in standings and some more loses will give one of them the 8th seed in the east.
For PHILI and NY its like PICK YOUR POISON, CHI or MIA.
Metta World Peace's hit on James Harden's head was about as cheap as Andrew Bynum's hit on JJ Barea during last year's playoffs.
Equally cheap was his excuse that his hit was just part of his celebration after his dunk.
It should be meted with the same 5-game suspension as Bynum's.
Just watched the 2nd half of the KINGS-BOBCATS game ..... KINGS win by bloody murder.
With 2 more road games to go, the BOBCATS will likely get the NBA record for worst win% in history.
The BOBCATS are solid proof that everything equals out ..... Michael Jordan ruled the NBA when he was playing, yet absolutely stunk when he went to the managerial & ownership side.
I have a feeling that the basketball gods will be cruel to Michael Jordan some more and have some team else get the 1st draft pick (for Anthony Davis).
Forget the elbow for a moment. How about World Peace grabbing his b@lls and staring Ibaka right in the eye, about to let loose Indiana Pacers Ron Artest. That look on MWP's eyes, it's ape $hit nastiness that no sane person would want any part of. Ibaka wisely backed off before MWP went ghetto on his @ss.
Grabbing his balls? Where/when the heck did that happen?
nbc
stupid mike brown took him forever to realize that jordan hill is better than mcroberts and troy murphy combined! good game from ebanks and blake!

is there a chance for NY to grab the 6th seed in the east should they sweep all their remaining games and Orlando goin winless in their last few games?
mas ok na un IND vs NY in the first round and just let ORL take on MIA in the 1st round of the playoffs.
Just like what happened to his co- hooligan team mate Bynum.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFyMbTmHnXo
I saw the clip, that shot by Metta to James Harden is legal...in the UFC ;D
Peace, World Peace! ;D
Bynum took out Barea in frustration.. MWP elbowed Harden because of excitement
this is the Lakers.. where weirdness happens. :D
NY does have the 2-1 edge this season over ORLANDO ..... NY would go up a slot in case of a tie - if head-to-head is all that's used for tiebreakers.
Any team drawing ORLANDO as 1st round opponent should be favored ..... that's even before Dwight got sidelined. With Dwight done for the season, it should be a cakewalk for their opponent.
Both Bynum & World Peace should be magically transported back to the 80's ...... when the real rough stuff was the norm.
They'd be easily put back in line by a string of guys like Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman, Kevin McHale (elbows galore), Charles Barkley, Buck Williams, Charles Oakley, Kurt Rambis, Danny Ainge, Karl Malone, etc.
Heck even mild-mannered greats Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars & John Stockton (Rodman has always considered him the dirtiest player in the NBA) knew how to give it during those years.
Speaking of Danny Ainge .... one of his classics below. Note that the guy was much rougher back in the 80's.
how about ainge vs tree rollins? ;D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN1gfT2IUuo
I just watched the OKC-LAL game again and what I found really impressive was Kobe's defense on Westbrook.. in their first 2 meetings, Westbrook just blew past every Laker on the court.. but this time, Kobe was in his face for the whole game..
di naman mga bading yang mga yan na pag dinala mo sa 80's kakainin lang. syempre mag aadjust din yan since yun nga yung "norm" noon. just like what the "norm" is today.
you make it sound like players before are warriors and players now are pussies. depende lang yan kung ano yung nakasanayan ng tao.

Who said anything about pussies ..... just merely stated that Bynum & MWP thugism wouldn't stand out as much should they have competed in the 80's.
why is the NBA tolerating guys like bynum and mwp then? sapat na ba ang suspensyon kung ang ginagawa nila sa player eh career threatening na?

i mean,who the heck 'celebrates' by cocking your elbow then swinging it as hard as possible to the next guy you come in contact with?
IMHO, it was obviously intentional. MWP's alibi that he was just celebrating his dunk is pure BS IMHO.
si MWP :D :D
MWP tweet:
@MettaWorldPeace
I just watched the replay again..... Oooo.. My celebration of the dunk really was too much... Didn't even see James ..... Omg... Looks bad

Spurs have won 18 (19 after today's game with Portland) of their last 20. One of the loss was due to the Big 3 not playing. I'd like to see Tony, Tim and Manu (all international players) get their 5th, at Miami's expense, of course.

the Spurs is what basketball is all about walang arte, walang yabang, seryosong pag lalaro lang parang wala nga yatang nag rereact sa mga player ng team na ito pag nakakashoot or nakakapag dunk, hard nose basketball lang, kung pwede lang botohan na lang championship sila boto ko
I beg to differ. There's enough acting on Manu's flops to warrant a movie.
Obviously, it's a different kind of drama that Pop frowns upon ...... but yeah, Manu flopping around will always be part of the Spurs great run.
Manu (moreso when still had hair) makes it look like he's being bloody murdered out there in the court. ;D
they would have been just another face in the crowd.
anybody has a copy of that old Laimbeer video game?parang combat basketball ata yung title.
just shows you how badass the guy was. ;D
If there is one award the Spurs should get - it's "Coach of the Year".
And The NBA Championship ;D ;D ;D
TP isn't overrated, he's underrated. Nobody talks about the guy and he's been playing really well of late. Can't say the same for Rose, Westbrook and yeah, CP3.
we'll see about that. let's go Heat! (but i still don't like lebron)
i would like to agree here, parang yung nba PG eh rose, cp3 at westbrook lang but parker plays really good at least sa mga games na napapanood ko, i dont think the Spurs would go a long way kung di mahusay na PG si Parker,
your beloved Miami Heat will be eliminated in the 1st round. ;)

Last season konti lang ang kumampi sa Mavs, pero nun Finals biglang dumami, naglipatan 'yung mga talonang fans ng ibang team. Mahirap ata manalo sa ganun. ;D
Heat fan, here ;)
I admire all those who already declared which team they're rooting for this early.
I also admire the courage of those who say there will be a sure upset between Miami and NY ???

Di rin ;D
When did you became fan of the Heat?
Sports lang dapat, pag talo na Team mo, accept it na and root for them again next season or palit ka na ng team. ;D
Biruin mo, noong kalaban ng Heat ang Bulls, game 1, sabi nila,"Go Bulls, i-sweep nyo ang Miami".Tapos noong natalo Bulls, ang battle cry naman nila "Go Mavs!" ;D same fans na supposed to be dead since dead na rin teams nila, and should just shut up.

Speaking of hate..analysts say that one of the reasons why there are a whole lot of LA Haters in the US is simply because for the past 52 years in the league they have won a total of 16 championships. That is equivalent to hoisting the trophy every 3.25 years.
Talk about knowing what it takes to get to the top.
Speaking of which...Harden is an FA next year. He will command max salary from suitors. I doubt if OKC can match given the fact that they already have two max salary players. There is a strong possibility that this might be their last run as the KD + Westbrook + Harden trio.
for me, Westrbrook is overpaid. Harden brings much more intangibles to their team IMHO.
2013-14 pa magiging Restricted FA si Harden sir. Kasabay ni Ibaka.

Bah! Where's the fun in staying quiet once your team lost? Go ahead. Cheer for the next team to beat the team that beat yours. It's only natural to feel bad and spew hate. A lot of heated, entertaining and educated conversations online are based on sports hate. I, for one, wouldn't mind trash talking as long as you can take as much as you can give.

As a team executive though... he sucks :D
No Duncan, no Parker, no Ginobli, no Neil, no Popovich, no Problem. Spurs upset Phx in what might be Nash's last game with the Suns.
Hmmm... Maybe Nash should sign with the mavs again, He and Dirk could get a ring together. hmmmmmmm ::) ::) ::)

Jason Kid and Nash together? Wah, I thinks its too much for a point guard in a team. I think Jason Kid will be retiring in MAVS. I think Nash will be good in Chicago or Miami.
Quite bad, my SUNS didnt made it to the playoffs. If only Grant Hill and Michael Redd in great shape just like in the nba 2k12 game, their combination with Brown and Nash are quite good. Im winning games even in simulations.
Apart from SUNS, I go for KNICKS.
Nash going back to DALLAS would be a nice way to finish his career ..... though it's likely that Cuban & company will prioritize free-agent & hometown boy Deron Williams.
A Deron Williams will solidify and future-proof their backcourt.
=====================================================================
Damm ..... just a week ago, the LA Clippers were on the heels of the 3rd seed in the West.
Now, they've fallen to the 5th seed ..... opening the playoffs on the road against a streaking MEMPHIS (should MEM win one more).
The Clips would have easily topped the Pacific had it not been for Billups' injury.

The knicks, although not as solid as the other 2 perenial eastern teams, just might have enough juice to upset one strong team, however, usually when teams do that, they run out of steam in the next round.
The Trick for the Heat to beat the Knicks is to contain Chandler, Novak and Stoudemire imho.
They can just let Melo do his thing...
Lin imho is no problem.

Oh another thing, it seems anyone from KNICKS (not just Lin) can inspire the team to win whoever the opponent is. The only thing beating them now is themselves.
sana NYK can pull off a giant upset =)
Yep, we can say this with every team though, but I think the Heat D will be too much even for an inspired Knicks team.
But offcourse there's Chandler who killed them last Finals, Novak can do a J.Terry :) and there's Shumpert.
Good luck to SPO. ^_^
sana NYK can pull off a giant upset =)
If the knicks can keep the game close every game - that's like eliminating lebron from the equation! ;D ;D ;D ;D
BTW. Im not against HEAT or any other team. Its just that for now I like Knicks to get the ring. Its been a long time and this is their chance.
Honestly, Im more concerned from Wade than Lebron during playoffs. He is the one inspiring the team during crunchtime. Lets see how Lebron will fare this time. I believe even though HEAT won all games with KNICKS during regular season, one loss during the playoffs will shift the momentum.
Oh and I just remember, Lebron, Anthony and Wade came to the nba on the same year. Lebron 1st pick, Anthony 2nd and Wade 3rd. Its also exciting to see how Anthony will fare against the two.
History repeats itself - we always hear that.
back in 99' - the knicks were number 8 - Ironically against MIAMI heat. They won, then advanced their way to the finals.
^ hehe di naman sana. Iba naman ang Heat ngayon (Wade+LBJ+Bosh) and I think kaya naman ni Spo si Woodson.
And si Melo di pa siya nakakarating ng 2nd Round, because of... himself, for now the guy is not a Winner although he's very good.
Unsportsmanlike behavior in my opinion.
Noong natalo team ko, I accepted it and gave credit to the Mavs.
Zombie Fans, walang kamatayan, because you jump from one team to another, where is your loyalty in your favorite team ???
Alam ko na, declare na lang that you are a fan of all the 30 NBA teams except Miami, on that case wala kang talo pag hindi nag champion ang Miami Heat. 29:1 ratio of winning ;D

para bang what he's suggesting is,if your team loses in the first round,turn off your tv,don't read anything related to the NBA until the season is over,don't post here until the next season starts since there's nothing to post on anymore since natanggal na nga yung team mo. ::)
asan nga naman team loyalty mo if pinanunuod mo ang ibang teams bukod dun sa team na 'loyal' ka? ::)
ganito lang yan.. the enemy of my enemy is my friend ;)
dami ko pang sinabi.sana yang quote mo na lang naisip ko. ;Dknicks will be lucky to win 2 games against the heat, i like the knicks kaya lng i don't trust melo..
knicks will be lucky to win 2 games against the heat, i like the knicks kaya lng i don't trust melo..
kung bench ang basihan,mas magaling naman bench ng NY,imho.
mga knicks fans dito e hoping against the inevitable e,di ba, bro 5zig3n? ;D
Not really. Like you mentioned, people here should accept the fact that their team lost. But to curtail their desire to cheer for another team and deny them the satisfaction of lashing out at your team, well, that's just plain demanding. No way will any loyal fan do this. Cheering for a team that beats my team isn't riding a bandwagon. It's called hating. And nothing wrong with a little hate. Makes redemption that much sweeter.
Guys, I rarely have time to watch a full nba game so i usually catch up on youtube with the NBA Top 10 plays of the day. Ano yun mga favorite niyo na monickers ng mga player? Here are some of my fave ones when they are featured on a highlight that I can remember:malamang si marv albert to, the best nba anchor for me.. Right between the eyes...
1. Manu Ginobli - MANUvering his way...
2. Serge Ibaka - Serge IBLOCKa
3. Deandre Jordan - DeAndre 3000
Ano pa ba? :)
Nasanay lang siguro ko sa pagiging fair. Pag natalo team mo at kung anu-ano pa sinasabi mo sa team na tumalo sayo ng patas, to me that's sour graping (hard loser). Give credit when credit is due. After all this is a sports thread. Hindi naman 'to politics or religion na walang katapusan ang discussion. Sa sports me sure winner at loser.
Bash the team that beats your team, I no longer care. What ever makes you sleep through the night.
I'm beginning to love them haters. ;D
ako bro mas diskumpiyado ako kay stat e..kase parang kahit papano melo took it to the lakers what,3years ago?pero as for stat,parang wala pa talagang nagagawa sa post season.yeah chandler sa d, and smith sa offense will make the difference. Ang mhirap kay melo, unlike his syracuse days, my pressure from lbj and wade, both went to finals already and ung isa may ring pa.. Wag lang pilitin ni melo, yun ang difference nila ni lbj, lebron knows how to make plays for his teammates lalo na pag gipit.. And lbj's d of course is above average..
im hoping chandler will be a big difference maker on defense.
kung bench ang basihan,mas magaling naman bench ng NY,imho.
Carlos Boozer should be on top of the hate list of most NBA followers.link please.. ;D

Bobcats: Worst winning percentage in NBA history (0.106). I don't think even landing Anthony Davis in the lottery will greatly improve their chances next year. :Pthey alreadyhave a very good point guard, smeone like davis and aveteran sf will help.. Sabi nila jordan is ok in managing the team, the people he hires ang hinde..
There's tons of links ..... I dont know of any major sports publication that defended Boozer during that incident with his free-agency release & previous Cavs owner Gordon Gund.lbj hates boozer for leaving the cavs, i think lbj made him better then iniwan sya for jazz.. Mowil hates lbj for leaving cavs, he signed with cavs because of him, then iniwan sya.. Full of drama,,hehe

Spurs currently rolling 9 players only.
This is the earliest garbage time ive seen the spurs do. From the 12:00 of the 1st quarter. hehehehe
same with the Lakers.. even Christian Eyenga is getting playing time.. they rest Kobe, Pau and Bynum..
The Spurs rested the entire first 5 + Jackson, Green, and Neil (Stinger). Also, they sent Popovich to San Antonio together with Duncan, Parker and Ginobili.
WOW! talk about no interest on this last 2 games. hehehe....
Spurs hang on though, kept it close 53-54 at halftime.
Popovich certainly means it when he says, he wants a well rested and healthy team for the playoffs. hehhehe
The past 3 games were of little value to the SAS anyway :)
Game 1 - Sun April 29, New York at Miami, 3:30 a.m.

this is not specific to the Spurs only. all contenders who are at the top four of each conference usually do this and it's not a surprise.
True, especially if no bearing game na....
it would have sucked big time if you bought a $200 ticket only to see the likes Derrick Byars ( ???) play. ;D

Prediction time!
NYK vs MIA- MIA in 6 (yea of little faith ;D)
;D ;D
eto rin ang hula ko, swerte na maka2 knicks.. @pao, bro i think among the 1-8, 2-7 matchups, bka umabot sa game 6 or 7 ung bulls and sixers.. They both play hard d,pero bulls pa rin in the end, the rest baka sweep or 5 games lng.. Mukhang ok panuorin sa 4-5, grizzlies and clips Lob city..
Okey! My fearless forecast in MIAMI vs NY, Heat wins series 4-1 :D
Mukhang ok panuorin sa 4-5, grizzlies and clips Lob city..
for me, mas well stacked ang roster ng Grizzlies compared to the Clippersmemphis has the advantage especially after last year's run, but cp3 is just amazing, if i remember parang last year yta ung series nla against lakers..
but in the end, it all boils down to how well they play in the playoffs
memphis has the advantage especially after last year's run, but cp3 is just amazing, if i remember parang last year yta ung series nla against lakers..
yung head coach lang ang ayaw ko sa Clippers :Dyeah i saw their line up, deepest bench i think..
Indiana is the dark horse in the Eastern Conference.
they have the depth and specific, clear-cut roles for its players to suceed in the playoffs.
matulog nga muna kayo.ilang oras na lang playoffs na. ;Dhaha, kinakabahan na.. Sweep pa sabi ni bro steel, hehe..
the 1st Q was competitive.until chandler decided to piss LBJ off.
oh,and who can forget jr smith's 200 turnovers,and Melo's 5 for 50 shooting?
Two games into the playoffs, and already there are stunning news: Derrick Rose could be out with possibly a torn ACL/MCL?!! And NY down by 30+?!! :o
LeBron on Melo: "He's a great player. We fronted him but we might have something different for him in Game 2."
and i stayed up late to see my beloved knicks play like pieces of crap with feet.
good night pdvd.
CHI w/o Rose, then MIA will be unchallenged in the East.
CHI w/o Rose, then MIA will be unchallenged in the East.they will be, if celts beat hawks, which will not be easy because of josh smith and joe johnsn, i think boston could give them a good fight in eastern finals..
ano ba yun sabi sa channel two via satellite tapos 2nd quarter pa lang eh tapos na pala game sus
baka pwede pa magamot si d.rose pero pag tuhod ang may tama mahirap na makabalik sa dati. lalo na slasher driver siya.
Best moment of the game:

LOL at Chris Duhon's travelling dance move in the backround :D :D
wouldn't that be considered as taunting?
Sorry to disagree but no player in the NBA who tore up his ACL became better post surgery. There is a long list of players who blew their ACL's and became shadows of who they were.
How many NBA players have had successful careers after ACL surgery?
Al Harrington
Al Jefferson
Baron Davis
David West
Jamal Crawford
Nenad Krstic
Bob Lanier
Danny Manning
Ron Harper
Mark Price
Bernard King
Kyle Lowry
Derek Anderson
Tim Hardaway
Jared Jeffries
Nene Hilario
Kendrick Perkins
Doc Rivers

Rose is young. He'll recover from the torn ACL. I doubt he recovers his game, though.
It's always sad to see any player get injured.

it has Jay-Z written all over it :D
Guards will normally see a drop-off in explosiveness & hops after recovering from ACL, MCL, etc injuries.
For bigs, it wouldn't be as crucial because of their ground-based games dowin in the paint.
For ACL's, a possible exception for losing hops was Bernard King ...... the man went on mad scoring binges after recovering from his injury, years ago..... old age (and a few other ailments) did slow him down eventually.
Just a sad day for NBA fans, regardless of team affiliation, when a player goes down with a major injury.
DRose is still young .... hope he comes back just as strong & explosive.
^Meron pa pala ;D

Flop? Jeff Van Gundy certainly thinks so
IMHO.. it was a moving pick by Chandler. BUT Lebron made sure to get the ref's call :D

I do hope and pray that Rose bounces back from his injury. I always root for the little man in the big mans game. However it would be far fetched to think that Rose will become better post ACL surgery meaning he will jump higher and become more explosive. That's simply asking for too much.
I think Kendrick Perkins would be an example who jumps higher and has been more explosive post-ACL.
losing a lot of weight (around 30lbs. or so) is the primary reason why Kendrick Perkins has been more explosive
''He’s getting up and down the floor better, he’s finishing better, defending a whole lot better''
The question here is becoming better after post ACL surgery not just merely playing again. Nene can't even jump now and block a shot just like he did when he had a last name. He Isnt even a good rebounder these days. He lost a lot of his hops after his ACL blew out on him. If he was better than before then I guess he won't be traded to Washingon for an always clueless Javale McGee. the Manimal Faried was outplaying him for the position as well and at the fraction of the cost plus its just his rookie year to boot.the quickness will still be there i think, yun nga lang bka may hesitations na, medyo cautious na..

he suffered the ACL injury during game 6 of the 2010 NBA Finals against the Lakers
he lost a lot of weight before the start of this season. teammate Eric Maynor (OKC Thunder) noticed that...
OT for being non-NBA: Dito sa atin, may player na lalong gumaling after he tore his ACL. Si Gary David. He tore his ACL in 2008 and now he's the leading MVP candidate for this season. The competition here is way below than that of the NBA, but still, he's gotten way better after he got injured.

And as for the rationale for Denver trading Nene to the Wizards, that's a whole different story altogether.
it's not all stats that would show improvement of a player. Nag increase lang ng 1 to 2 rebounds per game gumaling na?
Nene can't even jump now and block a shot just like he did when he had a last name.
For a 7 footer like Nene a 7 rebound per game average is totally unacceptable. For a 7 footer like him a 1 shot block average per game is downright underperforming. Wala naman shotblocker ang Denver noon except si Birdman who subs in for Nene and then yet he averaged just 1 per game.
He didn't become better post ACL. He just made his way back to playing shape.Well, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree about that. ;)
Spurs and Lakers cruise in Game 1..
great stats by the 2 Lakers twin towers.. Bynum with a triple-double of 10pts 13 rebs and 10blks.. ties playoff record in blocks.. Gasol with close to a triple-double as well with 13pts, 8rebs, 8asts.. and another solid game from Blake, Ebanks and Hill.. Kobe was being Kobe.. struggled in the 1st half but turned it on in the 2nd for 31pts.. Lakers looked good with Bynum focused on defense and letting Kobe and Pau take care of the offense.. it was a more fluid game for them..
I want to see Lakers-Spurs in the West.. 7 more wins to go for that.. ;D
looks like a miami sweep written all over it..tambak knicks.
Kawawa naman yun nangyari kay DRose. Now yun estimate ko na MIA-OKC sa finals is halfway done. Almost sure na Miami as East Champions. If they end the series earlier with NY, pahinga muna sila :)
As for recovering from ACL, mas lalakas pa si Derrick Rose after the surgery. Malaking tulong yun knee rehab and strengthening afterwards.
I wonder if may screw din sila linalagay sa loob for ACL surgery?
sabi nila wag sisihin si thibs.who else would you blame,then?12pt lead less than 2 minutes remaining sa 4th?
but then again,could have happenend 2 seconds after tipoff. :-\
Well, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree about that. ;)
Yup. Hehe thats the beauty of this forum. Sharing points one's point of view and not forcing it to his/her own co forumer.
Watched the Spurs game last night live and elected to watch the Lakers game through replay. the Spurs really look scary. Top to bottom their team is built to outlast everybody else except their nemesis last year which is Memphis who can match them with their own depth.
premature.a 33 pt loss still counts as just 1 loss.probbly win 1 or 2 sa msg,
sana nga tama ako at mali ka. ;D
tinatambakan ang boston! 44-25.
isang malaking halakhak... HA! HA! HA! HA!
tambak ang Knicks.... oh well...
tambak ang Knicks.... oh well...
hindi ko na aabangan kung mananalo ba o matatalo ang NYK...

Umpisa na ang asaran Sir Dpogs ;D ;D Go Lakers Go !!!!
ha ha ha...tayo rin ang magkikita sa FINALS hehe ;D MIAMI vs LAKERS
ang maasar talo talaga...
whatevs. ::)
;D
nayare ang Clips...
Reggie Evans outscoring Blake and CP3 so far :o
Holy sheeet! Clippers now down by 3 in the 4th after being down by 27!
tough loss, lamang ng 27 natalo pa :P
tough loss, lamang ng 27 natalo pa :P
I mean, with the Grizz shooting lights out
sino kaya pumusta sa grizzlies? tapos nagcelebrate na nung third quarter? ;D
Malamang 1st qrtr palang nag bibilang na sia ng pera.. hahahahah
kaso sa huli, malamang mura lang lumalabas sa bibig nun :D :D :D :D

That's only 1 game down for Memphis they are capable of winning anytime on LA's home court.
Total domination by Bynum over the Nuggets. By the third quarter nobody seems to have the guts to drive the ball in the paint anymore for fear of having the ball sent to the stands. Ganda nung block nya kay Lawson. The ball was sent to the bench of the Nuggets. Very effective psychological message to the opposing team.
So far BYNUM has the closes resemblance to THE HULK in the NBA.
Total and Complete INTIMIDATION!
Next time i hope Coach Brown instruct Bynum to SMASH!
hindi ko na aabangan kung mananalo ba o matatalo ang NYK...
aabangan ko na lang kung ilan ang magiging tambak ng Miami sa NYK.... ;D ;D ;D
+1
sabi nila Lebron's path to his 1st ever championship just got better with D Rose's injury. pag hindi pa nanalo yan this year, isang malaking Ha Ha Ha Ha na lang yan. :D
sweep ba? ganyan din sabi nila when the no.1 seeded Seattle Supersonics of Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton went up against the no.8 seeded Denver Nuggets of Dikembe Mutombo. we all know what happened there.
the bottomline... IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS.
win or lose, NY Knicks pa din! di ba, pao? ;)
oh, and the Lakers too!
tru dat bro! ;D
unlike some people here,kung anung malakas na team dun sila (paging dpogs ;D)
Lets face it malakas tlga ang MIA with Wade and LBJ + Bosh pero maraming gustong matisod sila ksi OVER RATED.
i feel its gonna be MIA vs either SA or LA in the finals.
lakers ayaw mo? ;D
pao.. baka dito pulutin ang beloved NY Knicks natin ah.. ;D :D

i guess they'll drop the overrated tag once they win some hardware. ;)
di na ako magugulat kung andyan si dpogs,nagaabang sa ilalim para iwelcome ang knicks natin.
kase dyan sya pinulot last year. ;D
Labo talaga ng Memphis at natalo pa with a 27 pt lead.. this is not the regular season anymore.. wake up Grizzlies! :o :o :o
and Lebron guaranteed that "were gonna win championships, not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7".
;D :D
LOL. the other day, i was backreading the 2011 NBA Thread (http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,116256.5820.html) here at PDVD. what a very entertaining thread! :D especially the part during last year's playoffs and the finals series between the Heat and the Mavs. ;D

di ko napanuod to..san pinalabas bro?kaninang 930am,e replay ng Lakers ans Denver sa nba premium e. :-\
im stuck with the replay na lang tuloy. ::)
this year will be the first.. M not a Heat fan, but this big 3 especially LBJ is on a mission.. Parang dinibdib nila yung last year..
that's the scary part with this Miami team..i mean,looking at how open the East is right now,what with D12 and rose out,the knicks playing like the crapcats,who else can legitimately challenge them? (yan coming from a knicks fan ha,diehard to boot.pero objective din naman ako,di gaya ni Miami Heat Fanboy of the Past 2 Years ;D)
boston?good luck if they even make it past ATL.

^ yung bilog na logo on the lower right corner looks like the Boston Bruins' logo. ;)
Lebron hater here but i do want him to eventually win a ring. instead of running his mouth about how many championships he would win, mas ok sana if would just dominate the entire league like he's supposed to. i mean, he's a basketball physical specimen for crying out loud.
i do agree that the Miami Heat of this year is very much different compared to last year. kitang kita talaga na they're very focused on their ultimate goal. and please, no childish antics like what Wade and Lebron did in mocking Dirk Nowitzki in last year's finals.
^ yung bilog na logo on the lower right corner looks like the Boston Bruins' logo. ;)
see?even some fans of the opposing team can appreciate LBJ (tayong dalawa pa lang ata so far bro 5zign3 ;D)
i appreciate his *cough* talents
what i don't appreciate is how he snubbed the bright lights of NY city and play at MSG.. The Mecca of Basketball

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--amar-e-stoudemire-cuts-hand-punching-wall.html;_ylt=AlE49vfUE6fci1ztOjQzipy8vLYF
Bad News: Amar'e severely hurt his hand and may miss time. Good News: It's the first time all season he was aggressive on the glass.
With shards from the fire extinguisher case lodged in his knuckles, Amar'e Stoudemire now has one hand and two knees made of glass.
damn. was that stupid or what. now the knicks aren't even sure if amare will be able to play. ::)
and they'd be facing the Lakers pa kung sakali which is good for me and my Lakers ;D
Pwede naman nya sapakin si Anthony kasi ayaw sya pasahan ng bola.
Amare waited until after the game to attack the glass
;D :D

I see Dallas putting up a fight in their home court then winning a pivotal game 5 in OKC. Matagal pa itong series na ito.these close games makes okc stronger.. They don't get the respect but if they can finish the series in 5, delikado pa lal sa 2nd rd..
grabe ang frustrating nila panuorin kanina.as in nakasimangot na ako at seryosong napipikon.haha, ganto rin sinabi sakin ng wife ko during superbowl..
hanggan sabihan ako ni wifey,'anung problema mo?part owner ka ba ng knicks?'
natawa na lang ako. ;D :D
ayoko pa sana mag concede,pero yeah..given the way miami has been playing against NY?
mangingisda na nga lang siguro.. :( :(
sayang nga sana man lang naging 6th seed sila. kahit paano gusto ko laro ng NY ngayon.
'glidiot'
:D :D :D
bagay ba si Melo sa triangle offense? ;D
i heard from the grapevine that NYK owner James Dolan is prepared to offer The Zen Master a 4 year - $50 million deal to coach the Knicks IF the Knicks fail to advance to the 2nd round.
i honestly feel they need passers, ball-handlers, and shooters to overhaul (again) the roster.
and a whole lot of toughness.
that's easy.
just ask these guys to come out of retirement

if these guys were playing today,lebron would be on a stretcher. ;D
haha yeah.
that awesome Knicks frontline of the early to mid 90's (Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason, Charles Smith) was the brick wall of the Eastern Conference.
huli ako sa balita...
teka lang... sino ba panalo MIAMI ba?
ha ha ha ha.... sayang sampu lang tambak ng miami...
kung may larong ending sa Basketball...
sa laro ng Miami at NYK... dapat ang laro ay... "Sampuan"...
SAMPUAN - ilang sampu ba ang magiging lamang ng Miami sa NYK...
1 sampu - piso mo panalo ng 10
2 sampu - piso mo panalo ng 30
3 sampu - piso mo panalo ng 100
yayaman ang pupusta sa Miami... :)
trade na nila yan si amare sa offseason. overpaid but production is very low. wala pang D.gusto kasi ng ng team owner ung makakapuno ng msg, instant offense ba, (si chandler lng yta ang may D value sa team), high scoring team lalo na mainipin pa mga ny fans, as nakaka2 na sila sa nfl, sa nba matagaltagal na. Kailangn nila is someone like cp3, ung makikinig sila.. I don't know if lin can do that, but they need him now..
mas malakas pa ata maglaro si carl landry kesa kay amare. lol.
Well deserved COY win for Gregg Popovich ..... check-out his very words:
''If you can draft David Robinson and follow that up with Tim Duncan, that's a couple of decades of very, very possible success unless you just screw it up,'' Popovich said. ''So it's hard to take credit when circumstances have gone your way so consistently.''
Does the exulted Phil Jackson even mention such things? ..... he who had the most transcendent shotmakers of all time e.g. Jordan & Bryant.
Popovich just a class-act coach in many ways.
trade na nila yan si amare sa offseason. overpaid but production is very low. wala pang D.pre, amare's production dip when carmelo came in. dapat maalis si carmelo. malas talaga yun. pansin ko lang ha. ;D
mas malakas pa ata maglaro si carl landry kesa kay amare. lol.
bagay ba si Melo sa triangle offense? ;D
i heard from the grapevine that NYK owner James Dolan is prepared to offer The Zen Master a 4 year - $50 million deal to coach the Knicks IF the Knicks fail to advance to the 2nd round.
i honestly feel they need passers, ball-handlers, and shooters to overhaul (again) the roster.
any updates on the LAL - DEN game?
dpogs,tanong lang brader.sabihin natin na lumipat ng team si lebron,wade at bosh.
miami ka pa rin kaya? ;)
Lakers lead 41-36..
whats the latest update for the game?
38 points for the Dude! :)
Go Lakers!!!
nbc
yep, maraming fans ang nyk.
for the lakers, as long as they stay on the same page. ang MWP stays productive, maganda ang itatakbo nila this playoffs.
for the lakers: what's their head-to-head with OKC, SAS, DAL, MEM and LAC during the regular season?
1-2 vs OKC and SAS
4-0 vs DAL
2-1 vs MEM and LAC
marami bang fans ang NYK?
tahimik kasi eh...
marami bang fans ang NYK? i don't know.. maybe.. maybe not.
why don't you go to Madison Square Garden and ask the people there. ;D
kung number of fans lang naman ang usapan, siyempre mas marami sa Heat.. bandwagon magnet eh. :D
nah, i beg to differ. at least dito sa forum and sa philippines mas madami haters ang Miami Hate este Heat pala ;D it's all good though except to those who hate on the Heat for no good reason but just to go with the trend.
leo, alam mo naman kung bakit ayaw ko sa Heat.. because im still bitter. :D
but i do agree, there are those who hate your team for no good reason. ;)
wag na kasi sa Heat kundi kay Lebron na lang. ako nga kahit nasa Heat si Lebron ayoko pa rin sa kanya pero i do acknowledge that he's the best player right now, stat-wise at least.
di naman ok lang. at least maaasar kita hahaha ;D
Lakers are getting scarier each game. they're also my team but i'm scared for miami if they make it to the finals and makatapat nila ang Lakers.if they can get pass through OKC and Spurs. :)
ganda ng combination nila ng front court of Bynum/Gasol and back court of Kobe/Sessions tapos lagyan mo pa ng unpredictable na World Peace. i think they have the strongest starting five.

Boston and Phili 1-1 na sa series nila. Since Rose is out, looks like whoever wins the Boston-Atlanta series has a big chance to go to the ECF.

may game ba ngayon ang NYK and Miami? obviously wala kaya tahimik this morning and afternoon.
if you'll backread, me and pao9307 (NKY fans) had been bashing the Knicks especially Amare and the soft frontline.
at least we've been proving that we're not narrow minded ignorant fanboys. ;)
you've hit the fanboy,este nail,right on the head with both retorts. ;D ;D ;D
tingin mo pre,manalo man lang kaya tayo kahit isa?
pag nanalo tayo ng isa vs miami,e para na tayong nag champion nun. ;D ;D

I actually want to see Phil take on the Knicks... a team by far presently not a title-contender. That way Phil debunks the notion that he only coaches teams that are ready to compete for the title.
I do not doubt, we will have at least one win. Probably without Amare or with Lin may change Miami's plays that can lead to their loss.
Ika nga sa mga korean tv series ...FIGHTING!!!!
ayan,that makes us 3 NYK fans.vs at least 20 or so miami boys on this thread alone. ;D
i do hope so.. ;D
to be honest, i was hoping the NYK wouldn't make some noise this post season. kasi if they advance, Woodson stays. if not, they'll get a new head coach.. Phil Jax or Jerry Sloan would be ok IMHO.
i've read a couple of articles saying that Amare's loss is actually a blessing in disguise for the NYK since Melo would now shift to the 4. NY had flashes of brilliance before playing small ball but Miami does it better.. waaaay better. ;)
haha oo nga. what do you think about Phil Jax?
would he take the bait of coaching the NYK next season?
3 vs. 20 WTF :D :D
group hug tayong tatlo. ;D
do you think Jeremy Lin can be a good triangle offense point guard?
Phil Jax loves 6'3 and above point guards who can shoot from the perimeter
(e.g. Ron Harper with the 2nd 3peat Bulls of the mid-late 1990's and 2000-2001 Lakers)
mas WTF ang post na ito :D

tatlo na nga lang tayo di ka pa magpapa hug?ano ka ba naman pre,asan teamwork mo. :D ;D
si JT nga nasa singapore pa pala.o tayong dalawa nalang pre. ;D ;D ;D
I do like PJAX to be onboard Knicks roster. Personally, I find Nash will be good for the triangle offense. Nash commands more respect and threat in the offense. Lin will be his backup.
tatlo na nga lang tayo di ka pa magpapa hug?ano ka ba naman pre,asan teamwork mo. :D ;D
si JT nga nasa singapore pa pala.o tayong dalawa nalang pre. ;D ;D ;D
but Nash doesn't play good enough D, a big no no for Phil Jax. :-\
ok ok,wala ng hugging. ;D
nakakainis ang knicks when you look at their roster on paper,halos puro instantly recognizable yung names.sadly,ibang iba yung on court product.
:-\
it's not the players, it's the system. Amare and Melo would never co-exist on the same team with the system they're using. they both need the ball to be effective, and Amare's softness inside isn't helping them at all.
tignan mo, kung si Phil Jax ang coach.. sigurado lagi sermon ang maririnig ni Amare. just like what happened to Pau Gasol during Phil Jax's tenure with the Lakers.
hmmm..i agree to a certain extent.yes,the system they have right now is flawed,and imho doesn't play to the current roster's strengths..
but it's a really bad mix din,since almost no one plays a lick of defense.how is it that this team can be good on one end of the floor and so bad on the other?
to sum it up,the knicks are a mess. ;D
salamat kay jordan hill at di ko na nakikita si troy murphy at mcroberts.
those 2 are too painful to watch!
;D
tingin mo pre,manalo man lang kaya tayo kahit isa?

@JT
Kirk Hinrich = yes! the dude plays good D for a PG/SG and can shoot the lights out when he's hot on the perimeter. :)
salamat kay jordan hill at di ko na nakikita si troy murphy at mcroberts.haha, ;D.. totally true
those 2 are too painful to watch!
pag di pa nanalo sa game 3, sweep na yan bro.. crucial yun, homecourt and baka gusto magpakitang gilas ni chandler, dpoy ba naman..
pero pag nanalo pa burger kayo ni 5zigen.. :)
Amare and Melo can probably co-exist on the same team based on the right system that's fit for both of them.
the question is, would they adjust their game for the sake of the team?
an anonymous source said Tyson Chandler is gonna be this year's defensive player of the year. ;D
but what they need is team defense. the kind of team defense that would choke the hell out of any NBA team. they can't depend on Chandler to just wait for incursions in the lane and swat anything the opposing team would attempt. Mike Woodson's defensive scheme is overrated IMHO and things aren't really that great on the offensive end as well.
amen to that ;)
tanung lang bro.yung heat fanboys ba dito e,do they bash their team gaya ng ginagawa natin?
o plain and simple,'bashable' lang talaga ang NY? ;D
pero pag nanalo pa burger kayo ni 5zigen.. :)
kung meron lang parang 'clubhouse' ang pdvd e why not?im sure sagot ni 5zig3n yan. ;D
tanung lang bro.yung heat fanboys ba dito e,do they bash their team gaya ng ginagawa natin?
o plain and simple,'bashable' lang talaga ang NY? ;D
a resounding NO. for the record, i'm referring to fanboys and not open minded Miami Heat fans.
the funny thing is.. a few weeks ago, i was mocking leomarley (i even quoted his post and btw, we personally know each other) but someone else reacted to whatever i posted.
talk about getting hit by a stray bullet, huh? :D :D
controversial talaga ang NY Knicks kahit dati pa. i think it has something to do with the NY media.
some say that's one of the reasons why Lebron snubbed NY.
sagot daw ni pao9307 ang wanapo burger for every active poster here sa NBA thread :D
naku wag niyo ipabasa yan kay leomarley, sa ibang lugar kayo yayain niyan. :D
let me guess sino tinamaan... ::)
so he snubbed NY because of the media?the king of controversy shunning controversy? ;D
Recepient ng bashing ng Heat fans is The Irrelevant Bosh and some of Cole's dumb play... Saka yung adjustments ni Coach Spo and Rotations lol
so ito na pala yung sinasabi mong mamamangha ka pag pati itong NBA thread e na HJ na ng wanapo burger na yan...
pao.. WTF is wrong with you?! pang R-18 yan eh. :D :D :D
pwede mo naman ipost na hijack, bakit HJ pa?! :D :D :D
naku, as a Heat fan, dami pa ring flaws ng Miami. isa na dun yung malamyang laro ni Bosh and do not forget their problem sa center position. actually madaming pwede tumalo sa Miami sa west lalong lalo na yung top 3 teams na puro malalalakas ang front court. ang advantage lang ng Heat is yung pagiging malakas ng west teams na halos lahat ng series dun eh pwede umabot ng 6-7 games. pag dating sa finals ng West representative eh pagod na. i'm not saying na sure ball na pasok ang Miami pero malaking malaki ang chance nila makabalik ng finals.
supot lang talaga ng knicks kaya ang lakas tignan ng heat. haha.

isa kang taksil. :D ;D
realist ang tawag sakin pre. ;D
at bakit gising ka pa?tulog na! :D
mga sir sa tingin niyo tama lang ba si T.Chandler ang nanalo, o dapat si S.Ibaka?
The Knicks improved from 22nd in defensive efficiency last year to 5th in defensive efficiency this year, even with Mike _’Antoni coaching the team for the majority of the year (http://knicksbricks.com/?p=1417&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tyson-chandler-wins-nba-defensive-player-of-the-year)
Deserving si Chandler :)
thats why i cant understand why Dallas let him go.
that move just cost the a chance to defend their title.
oo nga e..defending champ kayo tapos the next year mag-iiba ang line up nio..salary issues bro.. And yes, cuban wants dwill on his team next season, bka mutual din kasi it's deron's hometown din.. But i heard dwill wants a new contract with nets before olympics, so mahihirapan si cuban..
siguro may binabalak silang gawin or meron silang kukunin na player.

nanonood pa ng pron yan kaya gising pa. ;D
what will the mavs do with odom for next season?
question lang.. i dont understand the buy out clause...
ex. if a player has 1 year left with 10m salary, but doesnt want to play with your team anymore..
buy out would be, not pay you the salary then release you to free agency?

i see, so swerte rin ang player... meaning he gets a certain amount, then he can sign with another team for x amount.. (could be higher.. or if he wants a ring.. could be lower)... at least may pera na sya..
or he could sit it out.
ang signing ba ng free agent, may deadline? like trades? or you can sign anytime and activate the FA?
^Yung March na deadline, para lang yata sa waived players yun. Si Lester Hudson nag-sign sa Grizzlies nung April 20 pero eligible sya para sa playoffs.
http://www.hoopsworld.com/source-memphis-to-sign-lester-hudson
more questions...
1. if a team buys out a 10m/year player.. lets say for 4m.... does he have 10m free sa salary cap space? or 6m nalang? since he used the 4m to buy out?
2. ano naman yung waiver?.. is it if one player gets traded then the team doesnt sign that player? meaning the player gets to be a free agent agad?? then he can sign at any other teams interested at any amount he agrees to? pag waived player ka ba, walang payment mangyayari sa player and team?

"It was all driving to the paint and doing all those things like Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook," Wade said. "I look back at that and I smile. I remember those days. Now, you've got to take it a little slower, a different pace. That's why I've been in the post more."
^That was what I was trying to say. Hence the link for the Lester Hudson signing.

It's Vince Carter's fault the Dallas Maverics are doomed this year.
He's jinxed all the teams he's been to.
Ask the Raptors, Nets and the Magic. hehehehe ;D ;D ;D ;D
Oo nga noh, yabang kasi nyan when he was a rookie and sophomore. Now malas whenever he goes.
Miami? sasakay ka na sa bandwagon? :D ;D

miami at okc sana sa Finals.

Miami may be unchallenged in the east but OKC still has to deal with LA and SA in order to represent the west.
unang basa ko kala ko 'kangkangan'.oops!hahahaha ;D
ano,maging bandwagonners na din tayo? ;D
who are you rooting for bro? ;)
Jackson isn't enthralled with the Knicks' roster, a source who talks to him said, but that doesn’t mean he'd completely rule out the job. New York matters to him, and, so does money, the kind of money only the desperation of Dolan could dole out.
Knicks must lure Phil Jackson with trail of cash (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--knicks-need-to-chase-phil-jackson-with-a-trail-of-cash.html;_ylt=AtId2Mpnjfb1wgFozJfc9Pa8vLYF)

make it happen! :) ;D :) ;D :) ;D
offseason mode na ang mga Knicks fans! ;D
i-trade na ang buong roster for Lebron! :D ;D
after lebron,sino na,roster fillers na lang?
Maganda yun sports writeup kanina kay Lebron about not disappearing or choking anymore on the 4th quarter with the game against the Knicks. LBJ really has a mission for this season!
As for the Knicks, time to rebuild and kailangan talaga ng malupit na coach so all the superstars on the team find their place. Also hoping that JLin's tenacity and love for the game is still there when he gets to play again.
We are now getting closer to the MIA-OKC finals! Pero mahirap ang dadaanan ng OKC with the Spurs and Lakers!

@JoshuaBRobbins
The #Magic and the #NBA will announce today that Ryan Anderson is the Most Improved Player of the Year.
parang hindi din kaya ng OKC ang Miami eh. the Lakers can match up pretty well, but their bench has been unpredictable, minsan ok ang laro.. minsan hinde.
Lebron is simply tearing up the league this season. simply unstoppable!
oh wait, im starting to sound like a Lebron fanboy. :D
Lebron has the physique, the athleticism, the awesomeness!
Lebron with the NY Knicks in 2014! ;D

I feel the Lakers will be a better match up for the Heat.
I would like to see how WORLD PEACE and BARNES chop/hack/elbow LBJ into pieces while KOBE match up with WADE for clutch shots during the end games.
Mas mabenta ang LA vs MIA.

But Miami-LAL? Now that's an awesome story waiting to happen. Lebron/Wade vs Kobe. LAkers big versus Miami athleticism. Hollywood vs South beach. And how satisfying will it be for Pat Riley to win one over the team that made him?
A lot of stake din for Kobe to get another ring and be a staple comparison to Michael Jordan talaga. This may also be his last hurrah :)
Kobe will retire a few years from now.
then after playing baseball for a year, he'll come back and win more rings with the Lakers.
he'll retire again and will eventually be a basketball executive with a struggling NBA team.
then he'll play again with that struggling NBA team.
kinda familiar, huh? ;D ;D
gusto ko maging Coach si Kobe in the future!
I agree. If the league is smart, it would make this Finals happen. OKC? Meh. I like the Thunder, but I like the LAkers better in basketball's grandest stage. The Spurs? Pfft. They are ratings poison and I'm sure the league is praying they don't make it to the Finals.
But Miami-LAL? Now that's an awesome story waiting to happen. Lebron/Wade vs Kobe. LAkers big versus Miami athleticism. Hollywood vs South beach. And how satisfying will it be for Pat Riley to win one over the team that made him?

Go Spurs..
Go [home] Knicks .... hehehe.
Baka gawan sila ng special game dahil pareho sila di nakatikim ng panalo sa playoffs, hehehe.

nice win for Melo.. :)
kinabahan ata si idol LBJ at sinabi na si wade na lang yung play.. hihihi
mukhang 3-1 na for boston ang laki ng lamang eh
pinadama ng OKC sa Mavs kung ano pinadama nila last year sa Lakers.

Funniest comment was when Amare missed a free throw and he "punched" air in frustration, I think it was Reggie Miller who said "hasn't he learned already?" or something like that. :D
3-1 na PHI, BOS, MIA and IND. Could it be a possible MIA-BOS for the ecf? Big 3 vs the old 3.hopefully hehehe

he also tore his ACL when he was still in college, playing for the UCLA Bruins in 1998.
i guess it was the left knee, right?

i cant recall vaguely.. pero alam ko while he was at golden state, he injured his knee rin.. but that was the left nga ata.. right?

nanunuod ako kanina, as a long time lakers fan im disgusted with the home town crowd in staples.
10 point lead lang yung denver binoboo na nila yung lakers. nakakabwisit. ganun ba sumoporta ng team ang mga tao dun?? puro either bandwagon fans ang nanunuod dun or mga walang pake at puro texting lang ginagawa at tumingin ng celebrity.
Staples fans are really quiet. Been that way since I can remember. I think they deem themselves too classy to exert the extra effort to make louder than usual noise. And making them wear those colored tshirts is useless because of the lights out ambiance. And, yes, how dare the LAkers organization make them wear cheap shirts to cover up their designer name clothes. ;D
If you want noisy California basketball crowd, go to a Warriors or Clippers game, especially GSW games.
Miami closed their series with NY! Miami vs Indiana next!

sana indiana manalo sa series nila with miami =)
Staples fans are really quiet. Been that way since I can remember. I think they deem themselves too classy to exert the extra effort to make louder than usual noise. And making them wear those colored tshirts is useless because of the lights out ambiance. And, yes, how dare the LAkers organization make them wear cheap shirts to cover up their designer name clothes. ;D
^ i know all of you guys are heat fans, but let's go pacers! :)
@5zig3n
is this too early?
(http://images.gofishn.com/media_files/122951/carmelo.jpg)
;D
mas may laban ang Indiana sa Heat compared sa NY, as long as they limit Lebron IMHO.
that's easier said than done. good luck Pacers!
as for NY, same result every year if Melo would still insist on playing ISO Melo all the time.
galit ka pa rin sa Heat? :) pinanalo na nga ng 1 game, hehe.. just kidding.. I think Heat will win it in 6 games..
Let's go Spurs..
being a Spurs fan, I would want a slow paced game, so Spurs-Celtics.
Reality check - malamang spurs-heat sia.
so Spurs-Heat pa rin
YES. kahit na pinapanalo nila ng 1 game ang Knicks ko. >:( :D
but deep inside.. im a Lebron fanboy, i just don't like him playing for the Heat. ;D
seriously, i agree that the Heat can take out the Pacers in 5-6 games. even though Indiana has the manpower, i don't think they have enough to beat Lebron and Wade in a 7 game series.
for me, mas mahirap ang celtics because I think they have a better D than Heat.. I don't bet kasi against teams with above average Defense and great PGs..
But heat will beat the celts.. so Spurs-Heat pa rin.. At least maka abot lang sa Eastern Finals ok na, with their age, achievement na yun for PP and KG..
ako naman i think it will be OKC and Miami in the Finals.
even though im a Laker fan, they're just playing like crap right now. :-\
any team but the heat? sign up na!
1.
2.
3.
....... ;D ;D ;D
ayan na naman tayo! Miami Heat vs Miami Hate ;DLOLz ;D
di ako fan ng heat pero sa ngayon i don't see any team sa east that can knock them out :-)
ayan na naman tayo! Miami Heat vs Miami Hate ;D
^ i know all of you guys are heat fans, but let's go pacers! :)
ayan na naman tayo! Miami Heat vs Miami Hate ;D
pacers to eliminate heat tapos okay na yun kahit pacers eh ma eliminate na on the conference finals. ma oust nila heat eh parang nag champion na rin sila and who knows, it could be the end of miami's big 3 =)
Pacers is really a good team, both ends kaya eh.. and unlike before na you stop granger you stop pacers, ngayun ang dami na, from Center to PGs to bench, complete..
but I think Pacers is still short of something, parang Grizzlies, parang may kulang pa rin despite having a good line-up..
Pacers will be lucky to reach game 7.. :)
OR Heat will be lucky to reach game 7 =) hehehehe! pero on a serious note, sana the defense of the pacers holds up against miami.
nanalo ba ang pacers sa heat during the season?
Rebounding ang challenge ng HEAT vs. Pacers, kasi ang lalaki. Bosh and Haslem need to step up and also Miller/Jones sa shooters outside.
Wala namang perimeter threat ang Pacers atah.
Granger is too inconsistent imo.
Mar 26, 2012 (Bankers Life Fieldhouse - Indianapolis, Indiana)
Pacers - 105
Heat - 90
Heat won the season series 3-1
kaso wala ata playoff experience ang ibang players from pacers
Roy Hibbert is somewhat soft din sometimes.
Paul George?

"They are the biggest flopping team in the NBA," Frank Vogel said, referring to the Miami HEAThttp://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-heat/sfl-miami-heat-frank-vogel-s051012,0,1440820.story (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-heat/sfl-miami-heat-frank-vogel-s051012,0,1440820.story)
from sweep last year... ngaun naman mukhang matatalo from 3-0 lead sa series... olats talaga lakers...
makakahabol pa ba lakers... sana manalo para lang masweep ng heats....
makakahabol pa ba lakers... sana manalo para lang masweep ng heats....
maglalarong kanto na naman si MWP... maghard foul na naman pati si bynum... mananalo nga lakers niyan...
Karl >>>> Brown
ngaun naman mukhang matatalo from 3-0 lead sa series
just like sir Wiggum said, 3-1.. not 3-0.
oh btw, can you post more *ahem* informative and interesting posts? hindi yung puro olats ang team na ayaw mo.
Lakers suck, that's the bottomline. >:( :(
bro sensiya ka na.. hindi ako mahilig mag analyze ng laro... simpleng fans lang ako basketbol... hindi ako iyong tipo ng mala sports analyst ang dating...
isa lang masasabi ko... pinulot sa kangkungan ang NYK at malamang lamang pupulutin ulit sa kangkungan ang Lakers tulad last year...
Makakalaro pa si Artest. :P
isa lang masasabi ko... pinulot sa kangkungan ang NYK at malamang lamang pupulutin ulit sa kangkungan ang Lakers tulad last year...
what do you think about MWP playing on game 7?
would it affect their chemistry on the court as a team?
he's been practicing with the Lakers, but that's completely different on actual game conditions.
he's a whole lot better than Ebanks and Barnes right now.. he can defend Gallinari better and can defend Miller or Lawson as well.. ang kailangan talaga ng Lakers is for the 2 bigs to dominate.. Bynum has to be aggressive and Pau has to stop from settling for jumpers and doing verbal flops.. di kaya ni Kobe mag-isa.. and I sure hope the crowd gets into the game right from the get go..
Miller and Ty Lawson have been running circles around Sessions and Blake.
the Lakers can't force KB24 to score a lot and defend the opposing team's perimeter threats.
dpogs? you reading this?
hindi pang sports analyst ang pinost ni sir boredfilmmaker BUT very informative and unbiased.
Miller and Ty Lawson have been running circles around Sessions and Blake.

ha ha ha... isa lang nakikita ko sa court eh...
nangangamote ang lakers...
this is really still the problem the Lakers are facing even after they got Sessions.. Westbrook, Lawson, Parker, CP3.. they've always had trouble with quick point guards in pick and rolls
get off to a good start and the pressure is off.. hirap maghabol in a Game 7 at your homecourt pa
etong si Chris Bosh, pati ang Avengers phinotobomb. :D ;D
@rex.reyesiii
sir, i like your new sig banner.. cool! :)
Kelan ba babalik c MWP? Dba 6 games suspended lng sha?
He'll play Sunday, sa Game 7 ng LAL-DEN.. tapos na 7-game suspension niya eh..
baka sabihin na naman ni 5zig3n na Leblow fan boy ako eh ;D
ganda nga ng sig pero wala ba yung si DWade ang nasa gitna? ;D baka sabihin na naman ni 5zig3n na Leblow fan boy ako eh ;D
aba dumadami pacers ha? or dahil they just hate the heat? hehe.
^ you serious? heat fan ka na ngayon? :o ;D :D
Miami Heats? ???
besides,alam ko paulit ulit na,pero i would love to see KB vs LBJ in their respective primes. :)
plural e.bakit ba. :D ;D

LA clippers game 7 at Memphis
LA Lakers still have home court advantage but player were too lazy
Kobe na may sakit at si ramon lang ganado
if they do the same thing sa kangkungan sila pupulutin
im excited about SPURS next oppo and how they deal with it.
Gasol playing BIG for LA.
Steady games din from World Peace and Blake.
I hope they win and face OKC in the next round.
diba divorced na si kobe at asawa nya? asawa nya ba yung sumalubong kasama ang anak sa dugout?
sa june pa daw ma finalize yung divorce nila. but they working things out.
kobe is about to lose $75 million he better do something about it. haha!
MWP really make big difference on their D. Nice guarding on miller. Hopefully manalo cla.. Crossing my fingers... :)
You know when Pau Gasol had that six offensive rebound sequence that they are digging dip.
No sign of MVP jinx...yet on LBJ. He played like a Center and grabbed a season-high 15 rebounds and scored 32 points. Binuhat ni LBJ at Wade ang Heat. Questionable pa kung lalaro si Bosh sa 2nd game due to abdominal injury.
Let's Go Heat!
@MettaWorldPeace
Basketball is off instinct .. Things I learned as kid sticks with me.. I learned how to play ball from drug dealers and thugs..
Mukhang may nagbabadyang... masubaybayan nga yang series na yan. ehehehe ;D

@MettaWorldPeace
Pardon my upbringing and personality... One of my idols growing up and who taught me how to play ball was a black thug.. I do miss him...
(AP) - A look at the Western Conference semifinal series (with regular-season and playoff records):I really like this series.. MWP made the difference last game but Durant is not Gallinari.. and If Lakers had trouble with TyLaw, hello Westbrook, faster and stronger.. maganda sa lakers they have the manpower to guard Durant, MWP and that guy who looks like Bruno Mars, who can also shoot from the 3..
No. 2 OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER (47-19, 4-0) vs. No. 3 LOS ANGELES LAKERS (41-25, 4-3)
Season series: Thunder, 2-1. Oklahoma City won the first two meetings before the Lakers rallied from an 18-point deficit in the second half for a 114-106 double-overtime victory on April 22, a game marred by Metta World Peace's vicious elbow to Thunder swingman James Harden's head. Kobe Bryant averaged 24.3 points but shot 7 of 24, 7 of 25 and 9 of 26. Oklahoma City scored 102.7 points per game, even with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combining to shoot 14 of 56 in the finale.
Story line: What already would have been an anticipated postseason matchup added extra intrigue after World Peace's actions in the final days of the regular season. The teams played a good first-round series two years ago when the Lakers were NBA champions, but now the advantage may belong to the younger Thunder, who are well-rested following their sweep of Dallas. Meanwhile, the Lakers were stretched to seven games by Denver in a series that didn't end until late Saturday night.
Key Matchup I: Durant vs. World Peace. Forgotten after World Peace's elbow to Harden was the strong defense he was playing against the NBA's scoring champion. Durant ended up with 35 points but shot 11 of 34. He made 50 percent of his shots in the Thunder's two wins and is equipped to handle any trickery from World Peace, who returned from his seven-game suspension to make four 3-pointers in the deciding game against Denver in the first round.
Key Matchup II: Kendrick Perkins vs. Andrew Bynum. The centers have matched up against each other as Lakers and Celtics in the NBA finals, so there's a built-in rivalry. The Thunder then acquired Perkins from Boston last season so they would have an interior defender for the top West big men, and Bynum emerged as the best of them this season. Perkins has been bothered by a strained muscle in his right hip and can't afford to be slowed against Bynum, who had 16 points and a career playoff-high 18 rebounds in the Lakers' first-round clincher.
X-Factor: Derek Fisher. The Lakers have watched Fisher hit big postseason shots for years, but now is the first time they have to worry about it happening to them. The veteran guard plays about half the game off the Thunder bench and hit nearly 60 percent of his shots in the first round.
Prediction: Thunder in 6.

Lakers look really tired. Too many turnovers, slow on defense...
Kobe, more so, than anyone.. He looks really exhausted.. no movement from him at all.. no cuts.. no reposts.. he just stands still.. with their schedule, they've got no chance of recovering.. and against this young team, that's basically the series there.. oh well..
22point lead na ang okcsana makahabol lakers............................................... sa game 2. ;D
sana makahabol lakers............................................... sa game 2. ;D
31 points na yung lamang
10 3 pointer lang yan! habol! ;Dmga 11 na 3 pointers para mag tie. ;D
OKC - 119
LAL - 90
at least the massacre is now over ;D :D
Complete dominance of OKC on LA. Mukhang malabo na masilat ng LA ang OKC in this series w/o a healthy KOBE.
Wasn't able to watch the game because of work. May injury/sakit ba si Kobe?

Do you think that will materialize?
Will McGee give up the NBA and play for the Phil?
Do you think that will materialize?
Will McGee give up the NBA and play for the Phil?
there's no reason for him to give up playing in the NBA.. magdadagdag lang naman siya ng citizenship.. he's not asked to have a career here.. he'll just be used in Olympic and World Championship qualifiers.. they were able to naturalize Marcus Douthit, what more a legit NBA player like McGee.. And I think, McGee has already agreed when he was flown back here after that Smart All-Star event..
still wouldn't help the national team much..
ang gusto lng eh mapasama sa Olympics.
No problem naturalizing those Americans if the dream is to win an Olympic GOLD or WORLD Championships kaso ang gusto lng eh mapasama sa Olympics.
nothing wrong with that IMHO. correct me if im wrong, but a lot of foreign players do this, right?
Serge Ibaka is from the Republic of Congo.
but he was naturalized to be a Spanish citizen and eventually played for Spain in the 2011 Eurobasket.
Kaso the Spaniards get the reinforcements with the goal of winning medals and to be able to challenge the American NBA stars.
Gusto ko next makita kung paano papalag yun clippers sa hot SA Spurs!
The OKC Thunders have too much speed and energy for LA to keep up with. Mukhang they might just roll over the Lakers on this one. If that happens and they end up facing Miami, gusto ko na talaga si LBJ magkaroon ng ring sa dami ng pinagdaanan niya :)
Gusto ko next makita kung paano papalag yun clippers sa hot SA Spurs!
Parker vs Paul match na match as both dictate the tempo of their offense.
we should have looked for someone who has a more *cough* polished interior game compared to McGee
ang tanong kasi dun is if the player is interested to play for the phlippines.
mcgee kasi was so fond of his filipino fans kaya sya pumayag. he had a good time when he went here, up to now binabati nya pa rin yung mga filipinos sa twitter nya.

Mas resilient kasi sila compared sa Knicks.
Mukhang abnormal injury nga injury ni Bosh. Big 2 na lang muna Miami. Chalmers and Miller should step up. >:(

oo nga eh. and maganda ang lineup ng spurs. very solid lineup and well coached.
Lebron James is hands down the best player on the planet. However, how can you call him "the most valuable player" when you can't count on him when the game is on the line? hmmmmmm..... ??? ??? ???

well he delivers most of the time during the season.
pero when it matters most which is the playoffs laging wala, since cavs days pa.

Outscoring opponents in the clutch
The Cavaliers of LeBron James and Mike Brown were unreal in crunch time, leading the league by a hefty margin for three straight years, with the best performances of any teams in the record. It's easy to see that LeBron James matters here -- once he left for Miami the Cavaliers’ plus/minus plummeted. The Cavs averaged plus-113 with James during those three seasons, and plus one in the two seasons since. Meanwhile, before James, the Heat weren't good in crunch time, but have since become very solid.

^Not true, man. He was pretty good during his Cleveland days.
stat wise? yes because he is a stats monster no doubt about that. and he is more of a monster pag regular season hence the 3 mvps.
but being clutch and having the killer instinct? in the playoffs? i dont think so. kanina pa lang kitang kita na.
lets not forget the boston series when he just "quit" on the cavs.
Durant with the game on the line........

It's turning to be an epic race between the Heat and the Lakers sa kangkungan.

indiana looks like the darkhorse..
same as the pistons who won back to back 04.. nobody even took then seriously.. pero sila nanalo...walang super superstar.. everybody was playing their roles.... everybody was hungry for the trophy... im rooting for indiana in the east .. ;D
Blake Griffin 1 rebound
Matt Bonner 2 rebounds

parang nagaway pa ata si coach saka si wade
Heat is on! Nag-iinit na si Wade...'yung ulo nya ;D., nag self destruct, inaway pa si Coach Spo. >:(Yup it aint over...
Nag contribute nga si Chalmers offensively, si DWade naman minalas. Kailangan nila mag usap-usap, kulang sa communication.

and Kevin Durant is the best player in the NBA right now.. he plays all 48mins and he shows up in the clutch.. for a Laker fan, I can accept losing to a team led by this guy..
bakit ganon? OKC just schooled my team, but i don't hate them at all. :D

@nbc
yeah low profile team ang OKC, but they get the job done nonetheless. this team is really built to win a championship. ang bilis ng development nila, just 2 years ago they played as the no.8 seed against the Lakers but look where they are right now.
@puffalan84
Russel Westbrook still keeps on hoisting bad shots from time to time. if ever they do get rid of him (very unlikely with their success this year), most probably i'll be cheering for the Thunder as well.
@steelcrazy
yeah, Odom could have been used to defend Durantula and provide much needed scoring off the bench.
yeah he's not a good defender, but at least his height and wingspan could have been used to defend KD.
on the other Lakers, i can guarantee that Matt Barnes is a sure goner.
i believe his contract is only good until this season.
LA still has a good line up. We cant blame them that much coz they have a new coach and new system to follow.
Actually they should be up 3-1 vs OKC if not for their collapses during games 2 and 4 where they're actually in total control 90 percent of both games.
WTF talaga on Pau
another option was go hard to the basket and try to fish for a foul, maybe he could have gotten an and1 opportunity.
but really, WTF on the crosscourt pass attempt to MWP. they didn't need a 3, the game was freakin' tied.
although one can also think that Pau got intimidated by Ibaka. :-\
Sure it's easy to blame Pau on the bad pass. But he is not the franchise player. Maybe the play was not meant for him. The pass was simply the summit of the Lakers collapse down the stretch.
did you see how he attempted that pass? parang semi no-look pa. kaya mas nakakainis eh! ;D
Reggie Miller commented that Kobe shouldn't have given up the ball to Pau. what do you think?
did you see how he attempted that pass? parang semi no-look pa. kaya mas nakakainis eh! ;D
Reggie Miller commented that Kobe shouldn't have given up the ball to Pau. what do you think?
Kobe made that pass because he knew he had no more advantage at that point in the game.. Durant was too long and quick for him.. Should he have made the pass? Maybe, maybe not.. if he didn't, he'll just be caught with a bad shot and the clock running down.. if he didn't, he could've forced it down the middle and kicked out to either Metta or Blake.. if he didn't, he could've asked for an isolation or a re-pick..
just a lot of ifs.. you can blame Pau for that stupid pass.. you can blame Kobe for not taking the shot.. but the bottom line is that the Thunder made great adjustments in the 4th and the Lakers didn't.. Bynum never got to his positions and Kobe was forced to take jumpers against a long Durant..
we can blame all we want but at the end of the day, the Lakers still lost to the better team..
Yup it was really a telegraphed pass. I think it has been fairly established already that Pau is not a money guy. Even when he was the main guy in Memphis. It's simply not in his DNA.
As for Kobe, it was the right decision. He was doubled. And Pau should have just simply returned the ball back to Kobe.
Lots of factors that led to the loss from the players and coaches as well. Maybe if those factors never happened early on, the Lakers wouldn't be in the position where Pau made a bad pass.
+1 on everything you said. the thing that pisses me off (really!) was how Pau attempted that pass considering it was a very crucial play for the Lakers.
do you guys still expect the Lakers to win 3 straight against the Thunder? ;D
expect, no.. wish, yes.. I'm a Laker fan, after all.. ;D
expect, no.. wish, yes.. I'm a Laker fan, after all.. ;D
If the rumor mill is to be believed, Dallas wants to package Odom and Marion as a trade for Pau Gasol. Wonder is that is a good move...? Hmmm...
nbc
would Gasol play the 5 in Dallas? everybody knows Dirk plays the 4 spot
i want Beasley. if he can get his head screwed properly, he's a potent scorer. and he's only 23
i'm looking forward to major changes for the Lakers in the off-season. ;D
what would you do to improve the roster? do you think Mike Brown is the right coach for this team?
Maybe the play was not meant for him
for now, I'd keep Mike Brown
In my book DURANT should be MVP not LBJ
^3:30 Am
Thanks! Walang tulugan pala ito. :p
Go Pacers!

I kinda feel the Heat will also win later. Although, i am hoping for a Pacers win.

Heat 101
Pacers 93
Series Tied 2-2. This will definetly silence heat haters for now.....Let's Go Heat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James was at his MVP best, 40 points adding 18 rebounds and nine assists. WOW....
Gasol (and Bynum) hardly touched the ball. Why blame him? Kobe had too many difficult shots and took too much time taking them, the rest of the team became mere spectators.
Gasol got the blame this time because at a most crucial time of the game, he chose to be passive.
I would agree had the game been close. But it wasn't. Even if the Lakers were in the lead, OKC was clearly winning it.
Gasol got the blame this time because at a most crucial time of the game, he chose to be passive.
However, towards the end of the games where the Lakers lost (which they should have won - Game 2 and 4), the Lakers just went away from their gameplan. Kobe held onto the ball too much. The rest of the team were not moving. The coach was not reining in Kobe. Lahat sila, may kasalanan. They need a strong willed player (preferably a point guard), who can actually tell Kobe, "No."
nbc
I'd like to see this happen and see whether the strong-willed player gets traded to another team. This would then be like a young Racela saying "No" to Patrimonio and then being traded to SMC mid season. ;D At this point, it's really difficult to say "No" to Kobe!
Iba kasi definition ko ng close. Close is parehong hindi nakakashoot or parehong nakakashoot. Palitan kumbaga. Yung Lakers, di na naka-score. Very predictable pa. It was just a matter of time for OKC. Kahit mag-OT pa.
Clips got killed by an errant pass as well (by Chris Paul).
nbc
8-0 na ang spurs sa playoffs :o
Bhu-bye Clippers. take your dunks back to the playground where it belongs Blake. ;D
According to The Indianapolis Star, Howard told a couple of Pacers players to relay a message to Stephenson for him on Saturday. ''Tell him I’m going to [expletive] him up,'' Howard told Dahntay Jones and Paul George, according to the Star.
Spurs vs. Thunder.. Western Conference Finals. magandang laban yan! ;D
Iguodala vs. James / James vs. Pierce.. :)
do you think Blake Griffin deserves a max contract? i came across an article the other night (can't find the darn link, i should learn to bookmark links like that! LOL) and it stated that David Sterling (Clippers owner) would give CP3 and Blake Griffin max contracts.
nah. he's too soft and he's only move is to dunk, dunk and dunk. well, maybe that's the reason why the owner plans to give him a max contract because he draws the crowd.
The Clips better think twice before offering Paul a max contract. The guy has a lot of mileage already plus a history on being injured. I'm pretty sure they will offer Blake a max contract since he is the face of the franchise plus he brings in the crowd to watch the games. He needs to work on having a go to move though this offseason otherwise he will be very easy to defend next year if he will bring the same skill set to the table once again.
"In Pop we trust"
Spurs prevail!!!
do you think Blake Griffin deserves a max contract? i came across an article the other night (can't find the darn link, i should learn to bookmark links like that! LOL) and it stated that David Sterling (Clippers owner) would give CP3 and Blake Griffin max contracts.
The Clips better think twice before offering Paul a max contract.
The Orlando Magic have parted ways with head coach Stan Van Gundy and general manager Otis Smith, the team announced in a statement Monday afternoon.

i hope this is the last time i see pau gasol in a lakers uniform.
17 mil this year. 19 mil next year. definitely not worth it.
Ewan lang... i don't think he will be replaced pa. I think a roster change will be more likely.

Pau played better under the "triangle"
nah not really. he just wasnt the same pau during the back to back.
he was even worse during last years playoffs.
swerte ni fisher! ;Dnakabawi sa team nya for trading him....look who's laughing now... ;D

Wow! For someone famous for having that competitive fire, pang ilang blow-out elimination na ni Kobe itong loss sa Thunder?
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
The thing is, it was only Kobe who had the "fire" in this game.
Even the coach was just so-so... and made a lot of wrong moves.

Sana sa post game interview wala ng sisihang maganap :-X
I agree. OKC has been the better team all season. Now, will OKC be good enough against the Spurs? As Stephen A Smith said, the Spurs have no weakness.
Kobe's performance though was stellar. If only his team mates could match a fraction of his heart when playing.
Wow! For someone famous for having that competitive fire, pang ilang blow-out elimination na ni Kobe itong loss sa Thunder?
The competitive fire was there.. but one man can't do it alone.. Bynum was nowhere.. when he got that 3rd foul in the 2nd quarter, takbo agad sa bench kahit di naman siya pinapalitan.. he wasn't willing to risk it kahit possible last game na.. and no matter how competitive and strong willed your franchise player is, he's no God.. he can't will someone to do something he doesn't want to do.. and Mike Brown was just in panic mode.. he didn't know what to do anymore.. he was lucky Kobe was playing one hell of a game because if he wasn't, that game was over 1st quarter pa lang..
I think with this loss by the Lakers, the era of deliberate and big man basketball is over.. it's speed and athleticism now.. OKC, Miami, Denver.. even the Spurs and the Celtics thrive on the break now..
as a Laker fan, I'm not happy they lost.. but I can accept it.. regular season pa lang, it was just obvious they weren't going deep in the playoffs.. the new coach, the lockout, the CP3 "trade".. Odom leaving.. Gasol's uncertainty.. Bynum's immaturity.. the Fisher trade.. MWP's stupidity.. and Kobe's... well, Kobe being Kobe.. just too much drama in Hollywood.. at least their exit this time was competitive..
next year na lang uli.. "NBA Finals" na panonoorin ko, OKC vs Spurs.. ;D
This however was not the first time Kobe lead a team in an elimination game at that and got blown out. Being the franchise player, you have to lead the way to inspire your teammates. Before he was inserted in the 4th, he sat on the bench looking exasperated. He has to egg his teammates even from the bench since they all look up to him.
Maybe it didn't help that blame game he pulled off during last game's press conference.
Kobe was playing a game that most players would want to have.. at 33, facing elimination, in his 12th consecutive game in 21 days, and with all the wear and tear on his body, he was going hard to the rack and he was hustling.. he was dunking the ball, running the break.. for most players, that game was inspirational.. his teammates aren't kids.. they don't need to be told what to do.. they don't need to be called out on what they're supposed to do.. they just have to do it.. Metta did that.. Sessions did that.. but why can't Pau and Bynum do that? they're big men, literally and figuratively.. they don't need to be told.. and who wouldn't be exasperated at that point? Kobe was carrying the team by himself.. he kept them in the game.. he was doing everything he can to give the Lakers a chance.. all game long, you can see Kobe giving his all.. only Metta, Sessions and Ebanks followed his lead..
and besides, it's Kobe we're talking about.. he doesn't egg on his teammates.. he just shows them or shouts at them.. ;D
the Lakers live and die with Kobe.. but they don't live and die for Kobe.. that may not be a good thing about a team's best player but that's just him.. as I said, you can't make a guy do something that he just doesn't want to do..

^ that's a long post sir, but its Mike Brown's fault. I wish him out next season
Napansin ko lang, parang Miami Heat din pala ang LA Lakers, bumaha ng comments ng ma tsugi ;D

CP3/Kobe/Howard is a longshot. So was LeBron/D-Wade/Bosh.
chris palmer @ESPNChrisPalmer
Don't forget: Chris Paul wanted to be a Laker.
there's no way Mike Brown will be replaced. he's a hiring of Jim Buss (son of Lakers owner Jerry Buss) and doing so would only show the entire world that he messed up being the guy behind the decision making process within the Laker organization itself.
kahit si Bynum, hindi nila matrade, kasi si Jim Buss din ang nag insist na siya ang i-draft back then.
Hehe... sana pala si Buss ang iAmnesty ;D (parang Dolan ba ito ng NY? anyway nevermind...)

Gaddamnit! The LAkers lost! Oh well. OKC was the better team, so, props to them for winning the series. Can't wait for next season and see who's gonna be wearing purple and gold.
I am picking San Antonio to win the WCF over OKC, though. That Spurs team is dangerously efficient in everything they do.
Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak looked way pissed during the closing minutes of game 5 ...... one of the best GM's in recent years, Kupchak will likely make trades to get the Lakers more younger and deeper.
Pau Gasol still has great value and will probably be traded during the off-season ...... the LAKERS needs more athletes, shooters and depth ....... something which rivals SPURS, THUNDER & CLIPS have stockpiled the past few years.
As for coach Mike Brown, the LAKERS will probably be stuck with him for the duration of his contract ..... he's shown very little changes from his stint with the CAVS - decent defensive sets & limited offensive sets.
Buss & Kupchak could have had coach Rick Adelman a year ago, but chose Mike Brown instead ..... Adelman would have made the LAKERS more dynamic offensively - instead of being the slowdown team they had this year.
oh no. IND will need to force a game 7 pa... at least game 6 will be in indiana... =)yes, bawi game 6.
Miami is fired up right now offensively and defensively. 53.8% FG and 54.5% on 3 pointers while the Pacers are only a measly 34.3% FG and 29.4% on 3 pointers.Haslem has filled up the void left by Bosh. One more game...lets go HEAT!!!!
Miami up now by 20+ points on the 4th. ;D
#LetsgoHEAT
Well, mukhang yung Pacers ang pupulutin sa kankungan... although a Miami Heat win would mean 3-2 pa lang... and still one more win needed.
But from what i see happening in the game right now, parang deflated na yung Pacers.
This will make someone here in this thread really happy. :p Hehe.

Bring back ODOM, Shandon Brown and wait for the maturity of Sessions.
The Lakers are exhausted and they should do what the Spurs are doin right this season by pacing their old legs and keep them fresh in games all throughout the season.
unfortunately, Mike Brown won't go away any time soon. >:(
dapat may sariling version si dpogs ng "Gone Fishin'". dpog's version: "Goin' Kangkungan" ;D
would kobe agree to being paced so as to be fresh in games all throughout the season?
Adelman would have made LAL more dynamic offensively with his proven corner/princeton sets.
pag may nagtanong ulit sa akin kung nasaan ako...
pakisabi... nasa kangkungan.. pinupulot lang ang lumagapak na Lakers para makabangon naman next year... ha ha ha!!!

and about the Defensive team, I think Chandler shouldn't have won the DPOY.. it should have gone to Ibaka.. Ibaka's impact on the defensive end was more felt than Chandler's
and Kobe being on the 2nd team has more to do with his star power than his defensive prowess.. ;D

Shaq being considered as the next GM of the Orlando Magic
:o :o :o
Jerry Sloan is also a candidate to replace the recently fired Stan Van Gundy
Shaq has always had a soft-spot for Orlando (not Howard) ..... probably as atonement of sorts for leaving the franchise many years ago.
In many ways, GM's are more important than coaches, since they are tasked with building a contender WHILE juggling with all of the salary rules AND pleasing your team owner, all at the same time.
Shaq as GM would be an extremely risky gamble ...... besides the obvious fact of having no front-office experience; Shaq has a massive ego which isn't usually a trademark of successul GM's.
The MAGIC should try to pirate one of those proven guys - who might want the challenge of convincing the league's best center to stay ...... e.g. Geoff Petrie, Rod Thorn, Donnie Walsh (available), etc ..... or get whoever's next in line at the SPURS - those guys effin' know how to build a contender.
===========================================================================
Just say's a lot about Jerry Sloan, when he even considers coaching the inept BOBCATS ..... or the MAGIC, who might lose Howard after a year.
There are great coaches who love the challenge of the job, contender or not ..... unlike one (so-called greatest) who only accepts gigs with loaded rosters spiked with transcendent talent.
besides the obvious fact of having no front-office experience

Playing alongside mammoth space-eaters, lane-cloggers and rim-defenders the overwhelming majority of his career has given Kobe the freedom to be a one-dimensional all-time great. Kobe is a scorer. Period. He can’t touch Michael Jordan as a defender. Kobe is not in the same zip code as Magic and Bird as a creator and teammate-elevator.
Let's GO Sixers! Beat the Heat! ;D
Oh, I love the Sixers. They have actually overachieved already to force a Game 7. As Coach Doug Collins said, "Let's be greedy and go for the win versus Boston in Game 7".

Para sa kin, mas may panalo MIA kung OKC kalaban kasi Big 2 vs Big 2 lang. Unlike sa Spurs, lahat gumagalaw, team defense is top notch. SA is 18-0 in their last 18 games. That says a lot.
true but then again it's hard to go up against Durant and Westbrook.
sa tingin ko mas mahihirapan depensahan ng Miami ang dalawang 'to compared sa team play ng SAS. defense-wise Miami can go head to head against SAS and Chalmers can defend Parker more than Westbrook.
OKC can also better defend Wade and James if in case Bosh can't play. Ibaka can easily give help defense on both Wade and James which in turn gives Durant a breather in defending Lebron and concentrate more on offense.
but I disagree that OKC can better defend than SA. Like I said, SA's team defense is top notch. SA's frontcourt will force OKC/MIA to shoot from the outside and the guards are quick.
the Spurs have done well on defense, holding opponents to 42% shooting and 88.8ppg
but the OKC Thunder is their biggest challenge yet.
unlike the Jazz and Clippers, OKC has multiple players that can get their own shot and create for others.
they also have the youth and athleticism.
but the OKC Thunder is their biggest challenge yet.
I view this, as the others mentioned as the other way around.
(but if they play the same way, they should never have to be down 20 ;D)
Para sa kin, mas may panalo MIA kung OKC kalaban kasi Big 2 vs Big 2 lang. Unlike sa Spurs, lahat gumagalaw, team defense is top notch. SA is 18-0 in their last 18 games. That says a lot.amen.. I like the Spurs vs. Okc, sorry Okc fans, 4-1 for me.. Go Spurs..
also don't forget that MIA blew the Spurs in their lone regular season match-up although we all know that the regular season is a different beast from the playoffs.
Yup. Jan 17. No Manu, no Jackson, no Diaw, with Jefferson.
MIA vs. SA yan sa finals. Mia in 6. :D
MIA is better if either Lebron or Wade is out. Bosh is a must.
THis one I disagree sir, because once those 2 learned how to beat the opposing teams, they're unstoppable.. although it took them 3 games bago nila nakuha how to beat Pacers, they never looked back after that 3rd game
THis one I disagree sir, because once those 2 learned how to beat the opposing teams, they're unstoppable.. although it took them 3 games bago nila nakuha how to beat Pacers, they never looked back after that 3rd game..

"Three games, two guys being dominant at the same time -- this is the most [dominant] we've been in the playoffs," Wade said. "Obviously, we envisioned this at times."
__________________________________________________________________________________________
If there's a defense for them, it hasn't been invented -- because until the past few weeks, this offense hadn't been invented yet. But it has been invented now. Set free by Bosh's injury, Wade and James are now unleashed. They are the Kraken. They are monstrous.
And they are hungry.
^ the entire team participating? tell the role players to hit their open shots on a consistent basis.
getting rid of Lebron or Wade isn't such a good idea, especially after what we witnessed (no pun intended on Lebron LOL) in the past few games in their series against the Pacers.
IMHO, it's Bosh and his massive max contract that needs to be dumped in order to strengthen the bench.
Nangalawang e, bihira lang kasing tumira.
Then let's witness that again, shall we? Expect ko yan next game.
Bosh complements either 2, while involving the team. When LBJ and Wade complement each other, they alienate the rest of the team.

yikes!!! too simple, parang hindi pinag-isipan.

About that Jan 17 blowout of the Heat vs the Spurs. I think it's hard to make any conclusion based on that game because not only are the rosters a lot different, it's one of those unusual Spurs games.let's see...
Tingnan nyo ang play-by-play:
http://espn.go.com/nba/playbyplay?gameId=320117014&period=3
3Q 4:03 - Cory Joseph enters the game for Tony Parker 68-72 MIA
3Q 2:51 - Tiago Splitter enters the game for Tim Duncan 70-78 MIA
The score at the end of the 3Q was 75-88 (still manageable) but Tim and Tony never comes back to the game again. The Spurs did this a lot early in the season. They allowed their reserves to play meaningful minutes in meaningful games and it clearly paid off. (http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/36279/only-one-gregg-popovich)
One thing I'm sure of, the Heat doesn't stand a chance against SA/OKC unless Bosh comes back. They may even have trouble advancing against PHI/BOS (better defensively compared to IND) unless Bosh comes back.
You're talking about 2 players and 1 game. Can they do that every time? What about the rest of the team? Nood na lang? They need the entire team participating. Having both of them diminishes team play.what i meant was that those 2 are the most important players in heat, and not bosh.. In fact, i find bosh as a defensive liability, like gasol.. Team play? Lbj is one of the best playmakers in the nba, i'm not a heat fan but you'll admire how he makes evryone in his team better.. go spurs..
are you implying that Wade and James are ballhogs? naku sir, maraming Miami Heat fans dito. please don't stir up the hornet's nest. we're talking about Dwyane Wade and Lebron James, not Russel Westbrook and Kobe Bryant.
did i say that they would continue with their offensive onslaught in the next game?
but i try to admire basketball talent when i see one. and unbiasedly speaking, Miami is on a roll. they are finding ways to win and playing as if their backs are against the wall.
i personally prefer Wade + Lebron than Wade + Bosh or Lebron + Bosh
ok lang sana si Bosh with the Heat, kaya lang his contract is too bloated if you'll ask me. he's an All Star in my book, not a superstar. and he's being paid superstar $$$
that money and cap space could have been used for more pieces (a good center who can consistently rebound and defend the paint, a more stable point guard, more bench pieces).
you can say that Lebron + Bosh or Wade + Bosh is better than Lebron + Wade if the Heat lost the series against the Pacers. but guess what, they didn't. Lebron shifted to the 4 and cleared up the lane for Wade. correct me if wrong, but i do believe that Wade didn't attempt a single 3 pointer in game 6. and that proved that he has adapted very well, from jacking up those 3's to getting closer by taking mid-range jumpers and driving in the lane and going for the higher percentage shot.
I'm saying, with their style of play, they alienate the rest of the team. Nanonood na lang. Kung ikaw andun, and you suddenly get a pass, makakashoot ka ba?
Like i said, it's one game. More exception than norm.
SA is 18-0. Yan ang roll.
You can't get much for Bosh. He's injured and wasn't able to shine in MIA. Trade Lebron and you can get Ibaka/Harden with no problems.
"Chris Bosh is a fantastic player," he said, "but when he goes down, that means more touches for LeBron and Wade. That's not exactly an advantage [for us]."
Who's next? Could be Philadelphia. Probably will be Boston. Not sure it matters. And that's not me talking -- that's Frank Vogel.
"We held them under 40 percent [shooting] the first three games," Vogel said. "But after Game 3, [James and Wade] played at such a high level, I don't know that anyone can beat them."
Asked by ESPN's Doris Burke what message he had for the Heat heading into the conference finals, KG replied with a quick "Let's do it!" and then stared at the camera as if to inform it that it would be dead in moments.
and that look on Garnett's face says it all.. they're looking for payback.. ;D
Miami's role players are being paid to do that, BE READY all the time. score when you need to, rebound and clean the glass, defend the interior and the perimeter, and facilitate when necessary.
can you elaborate on that ''style of play'' that you're referring to? why don't you just mention the term ''ballhog''? or are you just afraid to offend the Heat fans on this thread?
here's an idea..
why don't we petition the league office to cancel the NBA playoffs right this very moment and just hand over the NBA championship to the Spurs on a silver platter just because they have won 18 straight games?
Bosh wasn't able to shine in Miami pala eh, why keep him there? Mickey Arison (Heat owner) and Pat Riley is paying the dude $110m/6 years and ok lang to score a little and grab a few rebounds? you said he compliments Lebron or Wade, can you explain further? can you provide other details?
Pacers head coach Frank Vogel said it best when asked about Bosh's injury
Offense runs through Wade and James. No post play, rare pick and rolls. And no, I'm not afraid of the Heat fans (quite surprised you resorted to that).
Ok, Lebron and Wade both need the ball in their hands to be effective. They don't come off screens, they don't post (especially Lebron). Once in while they'll be spectacular together (like what you saw against the Pacers). Bosh can pick and roll and can pick and pop, doesn't need to have the ball in his hands. His style offers a lot a possibilities for team play.
Maybe that's the reason they lost.
According to Synergy Sports, Miami ran 31.6 pick-and-rolls, either through the ballhandler or the screener, during the regular season. Without Bosh for all of Game 2, the team ran 56 – Miami’s pick-and-roll usage was inevitably going to jump as defenses improved in the playoffs – eventually losing by a small margin. The possessions were effective, but the spacing was cramped. Indiana was staying home on shooters and funneling Wade and James around the edges of the paint while Roy Hibbert waited patiently. Too often, the result was a mid-range jumper off the dribble.
Spacing became the order of the day, and by Game 3, Spoelstra was starting a lineup with James and Shane Battier at forward, at times clearing the strongside corners of shooters to give the talent room to operate. They ran screens high, they kept shooters on the floor at all times, they created space. In five games without Bosh, Miami ran 47.8 pick-and-rolls a game, and Indiana never had a true answer.
Even during Wade’s 2-for-13 Game 3, the pick-and-roll was working. It was just Mario Chalmers, with 25 points, taking advantage.
And no, I'm not afraid of the Heat fans (quite surprised you resorted to that).
It makes you blind to the reality.
I like to see the Heat go up against a rejuvinated Garnett :D hopefully makabalik na uli si Bosh.
now this gave me a chuckle, specially the second one. do you "Hate the Heat" so much as to not check out some of their games? The pick-and-roll/pick-and-spacing is their bread and butter. how do you think Wade and Lebron got to the rim that much?
check this article: http://www.nba.com/heat/news/pickspacing_the_indiana_pacers_120525.html (http://www.nba.com/heat/news/pickspacing_the_indiana_pacers_120525.html)
and here's an excerpt:
contrary to what a lot of people think, Eric Spoelstra is a good coach and he not just ride on Lebron and Wade. If it weren't for his offensive adjustments the Pacers would be playing in the ECF instead of the Heat and it's all thanks to his starting out as a player scout and video coordinator.
other players don't know how to shoot once they get a chance? why do you think they put a lot of shooters in the floor like Battier, Chalmers, Miller, and Jones with Wade and Lebron? these guys know what to do once their number is called.
don't hate so much on one team, sir. It makes you blind to the reality.
so, what were you saying again?
PS: do check out the video to see what i mean.
Bread and butter? Since when? And in a bit of irony, for a play so seldom seen, it created an open shot because the Thunder did too much to try and stop it. (http://www.nba.com/heat/news/rebuilding_the_playoff_repertoire_120405.html)
Wade and James haven’t been super effective in the pick and roll throughout their time together, but that’s still the guys you want with the ball. (http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/03/why-you-should-and-should-not-care-about-lebrons-whole-passing-in-the-clutch-thing/)

also, the articles you posted are outdated. the first one was last APRIL and the second one was last MARCH. the article i posted superseded yours.
I like to see the Heat go up against a rejuvinated Garnett :D hopefully makabalik na uli si Bosh.me i want to see kung panu gagawin ng celtics kay dwade, bradley is injured pa rin and allen is not a defensive player..
The article you posted is about Game 3. I'm talking about MIA and their use of pick and rolls in general.
According to Synergy Sports, Miami ran 31.6 pick-and-rolls, either through the ballhandler or the screener, during the regular season.
The pick-and-roll used to be Wade's bread and butter, the vehicle he road to a title in 2006.
James has enjoyed more success than Wade in the pick-and-roll game without Bosh, but he certainly feels the effects of Bosh's absence.
Bosh thrives in the most important play in professional basketball, the pick-and-roll.
Miami’s bread-and-butter, the action that Dwyane Wade and LeBron James could each run while kicking back and counting sheep, is the high pick-and-roll. Both players are highly capable of manufacturing offense out of those actions, but they can also produce stagnant, ball-sticking offense when the shots created aren’t falling.
the article was written after their series with Indiana and not about game 3. the story is about the effectivity rate of their pick-and-roll and how they improved upon it that's why the article is titled "Pick-and-Spacing the Indiana Pacers". remember, and i'll quote you again, you said "They don't come off screens" and "rare pick and rolls". is an average of 31.6 pick-and-rolls in the regular season rare?tama na...alam nyo namang heat hater...no amount of words to explain that will change his mind ;D...Peace.
still not convinced the Miami Heat uses pick-and-rolls? here's another article: http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/miamiheat/post/_/id/14271/appreciating-chris-bosh (http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/miamiheat/post/_/id/14271/appreciating-chris-bosh)

ayan ha, I even highlighted it again for you and it even contains the phrases "bread-and-butter" and "pick-and-roll" in one sentence.
if you still can't accept that you're wrong about the Heat not using pick-and-rolls then you're simply just a pure hater. come one, no one team in the NBA does not include pick-and-rolls in their playbook. not even the Charlotte Bobcats. it's the first and most effective play in the history of basketball.

Rivers earned his technical late in the second quarter for barking about a lack of a foul call after Rajon Rondo converted a driving layup in traffic. Television replays appear to show Rivers simply screaming, "C'mon, Eddie," at referee Ed Malloy as the action moves back upcourt. A moment later, Malloy stopped the action and tagged Rivers with the technical.

I view this, as the others mentioned as the other way around.
as in like, SAS is the biggest challenge for OKC yet unlike a different Dallas team from last season and a non-team player Kobe led with Gasol disappearing Lakers.
I would just like to quote myself ;D
Beautiful Game by the Spurs. Im a Laker fan.....but you have to appreciate their passing, teamwork and chemistry.
OKC will now start to doubt themselves if they could win this series....imagine beating the number one seeded Spurs in 4 games out of 5 who incidentally have won 33 out of the last 34 games that they played. Tall order for a very young team. It is not yet their time.
A sweep would again give them more time to rest!
Go Spurs.. Don't sweep OKC.. hehe
I don't like the Spurs to sweep OKC, baka maging over confident yung mga young players.. OKC was way over confident lalo na yung PG, and That play from Durant dunking on Duncan in game 1 was too much.. ayun tinatamaan tuloy sila.. :)
Go Spurs..
please have mercy on the OKC Thunder. ;D
:) Walang kachallenge challenge ang OKC sa SA eh noh sir? ...
Malabo na yata yun MIA-OKC ko.. :)
(http://i.imgur.com/3DlhY.jpg)
it seems SAS loves a short season, di ba sila din nag champion nung isang season na may lock out din?
pa-what if lang ha ..
what if Rose and Noah had no injuries .. i bet they'd be a good challenge to SAS ::) ::)
nangangamoy 1-1 yung ECF, baka pulutin sa kangkungan ang miami ;Dmasyado pang maaga prediction mo sir.... :)
pa-what if lang ha ..they have to pass first MIAMI before the SPURS
what if Rose and Noah had no injuries .. i bet they'd be a good challenge to SAS ::) ::)

Maybe a championship this year is what the Spurs need to change some of the NBA fans' perception of the franchise, especially if it'll come against the Heat. :)

115-111 in favor of HEAT. 2-0 na.
Monster game for rondo, 44pts.
Masaya kung may mabuhay na Rondo vs. Rose rivalry. Kaso bandang December pa atah makakalaro si D.Rose... hanggang Adidas commercials ko nalang siya nakikitang tumatakbo eh :D
Rose might not even play at all next year, the Bulls don't want to rush him.
^ and Luol Deng would also be out in the early part of next season.and they need to get rid of boooooozer, overpaid...
lets see if the spurs give them the "nasty"
I don't even expect OKC to win the series but at least they should put up a convincing fight.
ganda ng laro ng OKC kanina team ball. kung kani-kanino nanggagaling yung points nila. pasa dito pasa doon, lay up dito 3 points doon. ;D
''[Kobe]’s a monster. So I just want to go out there and play my hardest," Davis said Thursday on the "Dan Patrick Show." There’s a lot of guys that can’t stop Kobe. So if I stop him I could be one of the guys that say, ‘I shut Kobe down’.''
"Be careful what you ask for Anthony," Patrick told the former Kentucky standout. "He listens to the show and he has a great memory."
Retorted Anthony: "Tell him, I'll be waiting."
Retorted Anthony: "Tell him, I'll be waiting."
maybe he'll shut down Kobe using his eyebrows
tumatapang sila kasi matanda na si kobe, but still he will eat you alive one on one even today.
sabihin nila yan kay kobe kahit 5 years ago baka madakdakan sila tulad ni dwight howard nung rookie days nya. hehe.
Let me break the silence of the Heat Fans by saying "Olats Tayo" ;D
Parang bumawi na 'yong mga refs sa mga bad calls nila noong game 1 & 2 ;D
2-1, but we'll get 'em next time 8)
Go Heat!
RIP Orlando Woolridge
yup! ngayon ko lang din na-check yung score. as expected panalo C's pero may isa pang chance para manalo sa homecourt ng Boston.
It's hard to beat the Celtics at their home court, much harder than it is to beat the Lakers at their home court, specially during playoffs. Aside for calls going their way, the Celtic fans are very vocal in their support.

OKC figured out how to beat the Spurs. Now Coach Popovich should come up with new strategies. Nahuli na ng OKC 'yung laro nila.

another pressured game for miami ito... 1st qtr pa lang tinambakan na ng celtics...
Bosh is really needed ASAP by the Heat. It just disproves Shaq's comments last year that Miami has a "Big Two (LBJ & Wade)" instead of a "Big Three"Bosh is a defensive liability only because there are a lot of big men stronger than he is. Put him in a team defense and he'll be effective. He is also a good post player (good for 3 pointers) and perimeter shooter (opens the lane for slashers like Wade and Lebron).
89-all, 21 secs leftMiami's ball. Heat for the win or OT. Let's go HEAT.
whew! great game! ugly, but great.
sana umabot ng game 7 ang parehong series.
It now boils down to a Best of 3 for both series.
Game 5 will be pivotal for both SA and MIA as they return to their home court.
Nice Refs! Thanks for the bad calls and the non-calls in favor of Boston. ::)
Tabla na series ng Miami at Boston.
Go Heat!
Both sides naman yun bad calls. In fact mas marami pa nga sa Boston. The refs actually gave Miami 2 chances to win the game...both in regulation and OT.
Rondo's post-game attire FTW! ;D
(http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j275/Octo1/RondoStarTrek.jpg)
Lol! Good share.. He looks like he belongs to the Star Trek Enterprise :D
I think James made the right decision. He was triple teamed with KG about ready to block the shot. If anything, Lebron used up too much time before making his move or making a play.
Lebron James had to pick it up and make a decision on what to do.
Seems Lebron was looking to pass. Mas maluwag sa kaliwa, and he went right.
I think it's over now.. that 3 of harden is a killer..
Nakakainis talaga si Russell Westbrook. 9 out of 24 ATTEMPTS! Siya ba ang runner-up sa MVP Voting?

He just didn't want to force that shot with 3 defenders on his face. Remember he did hit that 3 to tie the game at 89-all less than a minute to go in regulation. Give him credit for taking that shot in the clutch.. Had he passed on that 3, then it would be a different story.. would be clear "choke" time for him..
Westbrook for Rondo na lang.

I was commenting on the last play. I didn't take away his game-tying 3 from him. All I'm saying is that he knew the right was cluttered and opted to go there. I'm thinking he wants the defense to go to him so he can make the pass. If he really wanted to score, he would have gone left.
Yari SAS nito sa OKC homecourt. Baka tapusin na ni Durantula ito sa Game 6 ;D
Nakakainis talaga si Westbrook. 9 out of 24 ATTEMPTS! Siya ba ang runner-up sa MVP Voting? Yun ang problem kay Westbrook, gustong makipagsabayan kay Tony Parker sa scoring.
tony Parker shot abysmal as well. 5 out of 14 attemps.
Uh-oh! Medyo kinakabahan na siguro ngayon 'yung mga nanigurado sa panalo ng Spurs sa WC ;D
Don't worry it ain't over until the fat lady sings ;D
*ahem* i would just like to quote myself (again)Daming tama sa fearless forecast mo brader ah. Too bad for the Spurs that I am rooting for. hehehe The OKC have really adjusted with their game plays. If you observe yung laro nila its totally different when they were against LA which is quite impressive for a younger team.
;) ;D

daming nanigurado na Spurs na ang NBA champs after that long winning streak including sweeping the Jazz and Clippers. :D
if the Spurs lose this series, i feel bad for them. the bandwagoneers jinxed them! ;D
+1
but who knows, the Spurs might even be able to sneak past the Thunder and win the next 2 games?
bad trip... talo spurs... >:(
OKC vs MIA nlng.
Patalbugan ng yabang si Westbrook vs Wade and LBJ.
parehong batang team ;D
anyone wanting an oldies finals, BOS vs SAS, will this have a chance?
why not?! this is very much possible.. sabi nga ni Rudy Tomjanovich and I quote: "..don't ever under estimate the heart of a champion!"
don't count them out yet.. it ain't over till the fat lady sings.. ;D
i was hoping for the oldies finals but it seems its difficult to see that happenning
will there be smoething still for the Celts next season? mukhang di na kayang makipag sabayan nung big three Celts version, do you guys think Rondo going to OKC is a possibility?
Reality bites for Spurs -- they're aging. It showed. In the end, youth prevailed. The mind is willing, but the knees are weak.
Goodbye Tanders. Hello Thunders ;D

OKC must finish SA in game 6 or they will be much pressured against a veteran team in a seventh game in their home court.
I wanted BOS to beat MIA (mainly bcoz i hate LBJ and WADE specially their antics) but the other side of the coin should be SA para match via experience at gulangan .
Kung OKC dapat MIA ang katapat para bakbakan ng kayabangan of the younger players.
i remember how wade and lebron made fun of dirk. i don't like boston because i hate garnett and pierce, they never stop yapping and jawing. i like allen though. i'm fine with OKC going all the way pero malamang lalo pang yayabang yung si westbrook. that's the problem i have with the nba now, younger players don't have respect anymore. it's all about the swagger and outlandish celebrations. where are the players like grant hill?
Miami up 24-16 1st Quarter. Bosh is back with 5 pts ;DYeah Baby!!!!

What a monster block by LBJ on Pierce. Pierce's shots have been swatted like flies by LBJ in this series huh? (Wala na talagang respeto mga bata ngayon sa mga matatanda...)

Don't rejoice just yet... wait before the fat lady..., hmp! overused na din ;D
I just think that miami will be a better matchup for OKC instead of Boston. Kung boston and manalo sa east baka i-sweep lang ng OKC.
I think until they win their 1st "of many" titles, this subject will always be brought up.
If the Lakers didn't repeat as champions when Pat Riley predicted such back in the 80s, it will also be something to be discussed like this by fans until now.
Masyado nyo naman siniseryoso 'yung mga pinagsasabi nila. :'(
I said it before, players/fighters do things to hype their game/fights to pump up themselves and their fans, to give them something to hope for. If things don't happen the way they plan, well, end of story for me. I don't go saying, "oh sabi nya ganito o sabi nya ganun".
Maybe when they say they will win many titles that was intended for their fans. ;D

People didn't give a damn thing about it. Countless NBA players told they were going to win championships to their teams but to no avail. Lawa 'yun ganun lang talaga basketbol ;)
I sounded like it was all over for the Heat ;D

Masakit!! Nag text yun friend ko after Rondo got an offensive rebound and made a basket -- "Si Rondo, parang si Paquito Diaz, kontrabida!!"
Nung maka 3 points si Pierce, nag text ulit "Si Pierce si Joaquin Fajardo!! Bweeset.."
and not to the general public in a grand spectacle of an atmosphere complete with light shows and confetti. ;D
kahit di ko pa tinitignan alam ko di mangyayari yan :P

in fairness, LBJ looks good in Knick uniform.
he could have made NY his team.
the not 1 not 2 not 3 not 4 not 5 not 6 not 7 guarantee. ;D
"Where's that Nasty?" sabi dun sa placard ng OKC Fan ;D
It seems that people are forgetting that wade already has a championship ring and he had to carry a 300 pound burden named Shaquille. There was no big three there, just one franchise player and a lot of role players who knew what they needed to do.
if the Heat don't win a championship this year, Spo would probably be replaced or demoted to assistant coach next season. would that mean a comeback for Pat Riley?
also read a rumor a couple of weeks ago that Phil Jax might take a chance with the Heat.
Phil working for Pat? I doubt that will happen.
KG's guarantee was meant for the team owner though in private and not to the general public in a grand spectacle of an atmosphere complete with light shows and confetti. ;D
What's the big difference? The confetti? ;D

Dapat sa heat kunin nila si Vince Carter ;D
Kung stats lang basehan, basta si Lebron laging talo.
actually, i don't think there's a problem with Lebron's stats.
it's more of a mental and psychological thing.
haha, he was drafted 5 picks earlier than Paul Pierce, after a year or 2 of highlights (which we all liked) everyone started to compare him to Kobe.. :).. haay sayang..
dapat he should be compared to his cousin, Tmac.. Pure O, No D.. :)
coming out of college, Carter has all the talent and natural abilities, he just didnt work hard enough to refine and improve his game.
Parker 21 pts and 10 assists in the first half.parang end game stats na yan ha? hehe.
This is over!!!
OKC going into the NBA Finals :)
wow what a turnaround for OKC! not a fan, pero iba pinakita sa SA. 4 straight losses!
i view it as it is, the OKC Thunder is the biggest challenge for the Spurs
shucks gusto ko pa naman bumili nito, kahit EC champs lang.

OKC vs BOS? whoever wins i dont care i like them both.
Tony Parker only 4-points after scoring 21 in the 1st half...
as much as i don't like the Heat, i want them in the NBA Finals against the OKC Thunder.
so Durantula can teach them a lesson or two about humility. ;D
Final Score
OKC - 107
SAS - 99
OKC Thunder = Western Conference Champions! :)
i would just like to quote myself ONE LAST TIME
;) ;D
moral lesson of this series.. don't make conclusions just because a team is up 2-0
it ain't over till a team wins 4 games
Hats off to the OKC Thunder. They managed to beat the three former champion teams in Dallas, LA and SA. They deserve the right to represent the West. I think their time is now.
Imagine what kind of tooling in the offseason will LA, SA, Dallas and the others in the west will do to be competitive against OKC. They still have many more years left in their prime to repeatedly contend as compared to the aging teams in the West.
Had late lunch earlier with a Heat-Fan-Turned-Hater at pinagdasal na nya na matalo Heat bukas. He said Boston will win tomorrow and challenged me to a bet. I accepted the challenge -- so LBJ, Wade PLEASE DON'T LET ME DOWN TOMORROW ;D Do the stuff that legends are made of -- if you want to keep your fans. :D

Miami is actually -2 tomorrow according to vegas odds.. I'm betting din on Heat later, expecting a low scoring game..
Yes the young Thunders beat all the best and elite Champion teams in the WEST one by one in step ladder and there's absolutely no doubt that they are for real this time around as their team matured.

Should it be OKC vs BOS?\
Two reasons to cheer for both teams.
1 - OKC youngsters for their 1st ever championship
2 - BOS oldies for their last championship
i have been reading a lot about dislikes on Westbrook becaseu of the way he plays, with how the OKC played is Westbrook still a fit?

But SAC GM Petrie saw the need for a more stable PG ..... thus he traded Williams for a rising Mike Bibby, who helped them contend for many years.
Kinda like the SAC KINGS a few years before they had their glorious run among the West's elite (e.g. Webber, Divac, Peja, Baobby J., Cristie, etc) ..... they had a hotshot PG in Jason "White Chocolate" Williams who had the passing flair and can score in spots.

I expect LBJ to score 50 or more points against BOS tomorrow if MIA intends to extend the series to Game 7.he can, but not now since bosh is already playing.. Wade needs to contribute early, para maka position na agad sila for the 2nd half..
What do you think guys? Kya ba nya?
My money is on BOSTON,..!
Kaya lang parang hindi match sa OKC,..
Running game ang OKC, maiiwan ang mga matatanda ng BOSTON,...
Madaming fastbreak ang OKC wherein the ball doesnt even hit the ground ;D Di na kaya habulin nila lolo garnett, allen and pierce yung ganun. :D
This is why i think miami will be a better match for OKC in the finals.
LBJ already 14 points in the 1st quarter so he needs 36 points more to finish with atleast 50.
Commanding lead by MIA.

Mmmm...
Seems Miami will not suffer Spur's fate atleast in this game.
Leading by 18 with 10 mins left in the 4th...
LBJ 30 points in the 1st half. Great game as usual as he's always very good playing for 3 quarters.James need not to score here dude!
Big Question now is, how many points will he score in the 4th kanto?
Doc resting the old guys. Paul Pierce 4/18 fGs on his home court bwahahaha! ;DGAME 7. LETS GO HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James need not to score here dude!

most probably Game 7 muna. mga around 11PM pa naman nagsisimula yung mismong laban ni Pacquiao eh.
Man, Lebron sucks! Only 4 pts in the 4th? Choker! ;Dwahahahahaha...choker nga... ;D
ooops... 11AM pala sir Anya. :D
James beats Boston, in a crucial game. At least for this game only, let's kneel and bow down to the King ;D ;DGood!!!!!!!!!

Salamat LBJ, libre lunch ko ngayon dahil sa iyo...
8:30 AM game time on Sunday. Live ata sa ABS-CBN, unless gusto rin nilang kumita sa commercials.
Live kaya or delayed telecast na naman? i don't think they can afford to have it delayed since mag o-overlap yan sa laban ni Pacquiao.
ha ha ha...
pag talo ang Miami... halso mga 3-4 page ang nadadagdag sa thread na ito... pero kapag panalo... napakatahimik ng thread na ito...
Good job... go go Heat!
I'm also waiting for the intellectual analysis of those Haters who are actually Heat Fans in disguise ;D
go go go...
we need analysis of the game... ;D ;D
di kasi namin maintindihan paano nanalo ang Miami samantalang chokers si LBJ sa fourth quarter (only 4 points).
mas maganda okc vs miami.... ;Dmagandang laban to.
Ganda! Go for it!
Ako nga I hate Kobe, pero I like his Nike shirts and shoes more than that of LBJ.
I bought my wife a Kobe shirt and I have the Kobe "Iron Will" shirt collaboration of Marvel-NBA... and I hate Kobe.
sa tingin niyo ano mas magandang panuodin?
Lebron James vs. Kevin Durant
or
Kendrick Perkins vs. Boston Celtics?
may pa push up effect pa ah... olats naman...
bwa ha ha ha ha!!!!
tahimik na naman ang threads na ito ah....
Man, Lebron sucks! Only 4 pts in the 4th? Choker! ;D
Mukhang niluluto na ang OKC vs MIA sa NBA Finals.
Somehow i'm still disappointed with LBJ only finishing with 45 points, i wasnt able to finish watching the game.
I left with MIA up by 10 with still over 2 minutes left in the 3rd kanto and LBJ scoring already 39 points at that time.
At the rate he was scoring he should finish no less than over the 50 points i anticipated for this game.
kung dikit siguro laban malamang naka-60 pts pa yan but he didn't need to do that since they were up around 25pts midway through the 4th with Pierce being shut down. kahit nga 30pts lang ginawa ni lebron panalo pa rin sila. He wouldn't risk getting injured in those waning trash time just so he could score more than 50pts. that's just juvenile and selfish.

malamang maluwag kalsada sa linggo ;D
GAME 7. LETS GO HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For game 7, I'm counting on Wade. If he plays strangely lukewarm like he did today, the Heat's in trouble. I foresee Wade doing most damage in Game 7 for Boston.
Besides, Wade hit his stride in the 4th Quarter after shooting bricks in the first half. So medyo na off load yun scoring ni LBJ. And he was also rebounding. He topscored with 15 rebounds and had most assists with 5. Literally, it was a one man show and it took him only 3.5 quarters to do it. Boston never saw that coming eh?
keep it up Lebron ngayon lang ako magchecheer sayo wag mo naman ako biguin! ;D
Oo nga! Dapat lang talaga gumawa si DWade sa umpisa pa lang hanggang sa dulo. Parang "Big 1" na lang ang Heat kalaban ng "Big 4" ng Boston. >:(
Halos kalahati ng total score ng Heat kay LBJ galing.
Love or hate Lebron, I hope you watched the game earlier. Because you missed a lot if you didn't...

classy fans indeed! ::)
lebron was definitely hot in game 6. yun nga dapat ang gawin nya, kumayod na siya ng 3 quarters tapos si wade na ang mag take over sa fourth. but despite shooting really well, lebron still had some problems sa free throw line.
I think free throw is LBJ's Achilles' heel. Kaya pag nag free throw sya at hindi pumasok sa crucial a-akalain ng mga tao nag choke sya, pero sa tingin ko, medyo mahina talaga sya sa FT. ;D
well he with the money he's being paid he should work on his free throws. jordan didn;t have a jump shot early in his career but he worked on it. kobe realized that too when he was matched up against jordan in an all-star game and he worked on his defense along the way also. that's just what winners do, they constantly work on their game
yun nga e distractions what if matalo Celts? baka bumaba morale ni PAC ;D
No need for LBJ to hit 50. He knows that by rubbing it in with a very big lead already it won't be sportsmanlike. There is still one more game left and he knows that the Celts would have a bad taste left in their mouth if LeBron deliberately kicked them while they are down in Game 6. For me what LBJ did was to extend respect. It's obvious that he can go for 60 this morning however there is no need for him to do so.
Live kaya or delayed telecast na naman? i don't think they can afford to have it delayed since mag o-overlap yan sa laban ni Pacquiao.
tama. LETS GO HEAT! gusto ko ng OKC - Miami Finals. ;Dowwsss....di nga. ;D
can't wait for Durantula to take them to school. :D
ayaw ni Lebron ng 4th quarters kaya 3rd quarter pa lang tinapos na niya ang Celtics. ;D;D
It is what it is ..... Westbrook is a natural scoring PG - with alpha scoring tendencies to boot. He is a fit since the team's core is young ..... plus being fast/dynamic and somewhat unpredictable is a huge part of OKC's team character.
Greg Popovich said as much, that he considered OKC as the hardest team to prepare for (as quoted earlier by the broadcast team).
Now, in the unlikely event that OKC fail in the Finals ..... Westbrook will probably be the easiest to "blame" by the press due to various reasons.
Some veteran-laden elite team or those on the cusp of joining the elite (say, top 4 in your conference), might closely consider trading a young gun like Westbrook for a "more" stable PG.
Kinda like the SAC KINGS a few years before they had their glorious run among the West's elite (e.g. Webber, Divac, Peja, Baobby J., Cristie, etc) ..... they had a hotshot PG in Jason "White Chocolate" Williams who had the passing flair and can score in spots.
But SAC GM Petrie saw the need for a more stable PG ..... thus he traded Williams for a rising Mike Bibby, who helped them contend for many years.
thinking out loud, would a steve nash be a good fit for OKC? is it even possible? maganda sigurong maging mentor ni RW si nash
owwsss....di nga. ;D
isasakay pa niya sa school bus tapos ilalaglag sa kankungan on their way to school. ;Dsana nga! pag nagkataon, sila ang nasa kangkungan. ;D
sana nga! pag nagkataon, sila ang nasa kangkungan. ;D
magsama-sama silang lahat dun. :D ;DAyus! ;D
in other news, the Charlotte Bobcats are reportedly shopping around the no.2 pick in this year's draft.
but the asking price is too much.
Thats what i thought, i was just wondering why the coach could not be of huge influence in having RW get settled down, he reminds me much of Iverson though during his prime, he was very volatile yet very dependable as well, in the case of RW, he seems to be a ball hog but not consistent, if he gets to settle down and plays controlled game, mukhang mabigat na talagang tapatan ang OKC.

Indeed! Hahah ganda ng nilalaro ng boston ngaun.true but not enough to stop the heat for now.
That shrieking female fan behind Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy really sounds annoying.indeed. specially when the heat is leading.
true but not enough to stop the heat for now.
I think it is safe to say that OKC will be meeting the HEAT in the NBA Finals :DAgree!
Boston seen very emotional now especially Doc Rivers :'( :'( :'( Nice run Coach. Ganyan talaga basketball. Minsan panalo. Kadalasan talo.;D
Miami Heat - Eastern Conference Champion!!2nd in a row. sana NBA championship naman.
Boston actually made great adjustments for this game. They defended well against Lebron & Wade. But unfortunately, gumana si Bosh. When Bosh was hitting his shots, I thought "Yari ang Boston nito..." It was a Big 3 overload too much for Boston to handle. Big 3 made 27 of 28 pts of the Heat in 4th Quarter.+1
----
Bosh and Wade played way way better today than Game 6. Bosh was the main man today.
----
And James actually played good till the final buzzer. A tomahawk breakaway dunk in the 4th, 2 crucial assists to Bosh ( no look side pass pa pare! ang bangis mo Lebron ) and Wade and a three point shot from midcourt. When he made that shot, that was a dagger to Boston. So all those talks about Lebron not playing good in the 4th Quarter? C'mon, let's all move on guys. Let's give this great athlete a break and praise him.
-----
OKC and Miami. OKC is a heavy favorite. But I'm gonna go for the Lebron Show ;D I think it's one hell of an ending if Lebron can finally nail his first ever ring.

4th quarter collapsed game by celtics..tsk tsk..sayang.
galing ni bosh, tapos gumagawa pa yung big 3
Is it just me or did the miami fans give the celtics big 3 an ovation when they were taken out of the game? If so, thats a very nice gesture from the fans.
Nsa kangkungan na rin c pakyaw ngaun together with celtics. >:(bad trip. :(
Now nobody can make fun of Bosh! A huge game he played and making those 3s. He was the biggest factor there for the team and kahit sa pag rebound dominating talaga siya.+1
Sana sumali ako sa NBA pustahan dito sa amin and nanalo sana ako with the Miami Okc finals! Haha :) i really want LBJ to get his first ring... That will be the true redemption.
yes pinalakpakan sila, si garnett parang diretso dugout after the game
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

The final analysis of James' season will indeed be completed by the next round; this everyone accepts. There were already numerous pictures of him wearing an Eastern Conference champions shirt and hat and celebrating before Saturday night. He's been here before, twice actually. It's not truly new ground.
For OKC to win, Russel Westbrook shouldn't turn into Russel Westbrick
as much as im rooting for the OKC Thunder in the NBA Finals..same here.. Pero most writers chose thunders in 6.. Mas magandang underdog sila..
i have this gut feeling that Lebron would finally get this first ever championship ring.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BycDTKpT568 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BycDTKpT568)
This was the turning point IMO. When James hit this 3 from the men's room, I thought the game was over for Boston. Nice clutch play LBJ ;D

made to be re-quoted later?
no. LOL. you're probably referring to my ''OKC is the biggest challenge for the Spurs'' post. ang sabi ko lang OKC is the biggest challenge for the Spurs, i never said anything about OKC would beat the Spurs. and malay ko ba mananalo ng 4 straight ang OKC. :D
This year, I am rooting for Miami because THEY ARE THE UNDERDOGS. And I love underdogs. Don't we all?
I don't think they are underdogs. They have experience and at their prime. Marami lang talagang gustong manalo ang OKC (or matalao ang MIA).yup,i don't get it when people says miami are underdogs in the finals when they have a multiple mvp awardee,a finals mvp and a multiple all star selection playing in one team.besides wade has played in the championship twice just like lebron so they should be favored to win this series.unlike in okc where the only player who have won a championship is perkins while durant,westbrook and harden didnt have championship experience.

Boy oh boy, I'll be so preoccupied on those dates above. ;D
Heat is the underdog because OKC has the homecourt advantage..
But Miami has more championship experience? It's no longer true that championship experience is an advantage as proven by the other teams na nangamote sa Playoffs -- Dallas, Boston, Spurs and Lakers. Puro may championship experience yun e di nga lumusot. They lost to YOUTH and TALENT. No bearing na ang championship experience dito.
OKC is the younger and more talent laden team. Miami is the underdog and no longer the favorites in this series.
relax mate, I'm just predicting like you.... well, like LBJ you can always prove me wrong ;D ;D ;D
i can't relax. i'll be having sleepless nights from now on until the end of the NBA Finals.
i placed a big bet on.. i won't post it here! hehehe
pag natalo ako, andyan naman si leomarley to save me from financial hell. di ba leo? ;D
hmmm... mlamang lamang.. tumaya ka sa miami... :)
Yup. "OKC is the underdog in this series. Dehado sila." just doesn't sound right to me.
OKC has a deeper bench no doubt. KD is the ultimate clutch player while Lebron is still a choker for many. Wade is playing on and off while Westrbrick is on a roll. Bosh is still injured while Ibaka and Perkins are very dominant. Sus may James Harden ka pa pala. Plus homecourt advantage.

in case Miami will not be the champion, will LBJ be the best individual player not to win a championship/yet?
Precisely why I said the NBA needs Lebron to win a crown. Just imagine the repercussion if he does. The NBA needs someone like him because he commands a rare "Love Him or Hate Him" reputation.
Don't they have Kobe for that?
mas matindi ang hate kay Lebron compared to Kobe even before :D
Mismo! Can you just imagine if Lebron finally wins a crown? Think about it. Ang saya di ba?
me napatunayan na kasi si kobe, nagchampion na yung team niya. si lebron di pa
Mismo! Can you just imagine if Lebron finally wins a crown? Think about it. Ang saya di ba?
ang criticism naman kay Kobe, he wouldn't have won those championships without Shaq (2000, 2001, 2002)
and Pau Gasol (2009, 2010)
and often accused as a ballhog who would often go away from the offense to pad his stats
even if Lebron wins a ring this year, i doubt it that his haters would STFU
remember.. he guaranteed multiple championships for the Heat. ;) ;D

and Pau Gasol (2009, 2010)
and often accused as a ballhog who would often go away from the offense to pad his stats
Ahh the old debate of Kobe riding Shaq's coattails. Then when Kobe won two without the big guy, they say it was because he had Pau.
This argument and any such kind is moot because of the word "team"
Using the same argument, can we not say that Shaq could not have won in LA without Kobe? Or that Pau wasn't a winner without Kobe?
The ballhog thing. Meh. So he shoots a lot. He's his own man. Drives coaches crazy with his approach. You say "fcuk Kobe! All he does is shoot!"
Then he flashes the five rings on you and says "talk to the rings" Hard to argue with that, considering he just made folks admit that "ballhogs" can exactly be real winners afterall.
You say "Screw you, Kobe! There is no 'I' in T-E-A-M" Then he fires back, there is in W-I-N. And also in R-I-N-G-S.
Then you say "Fcuk you, Battousai!" Kobe just made your "team" reasoning crap.
Then I reply "Coz he's had success at success at success"
Then Kanye asks "What the fcuk is he talking about?"
Kobe says "You're welcome"
pau gasol isn't in the same league as kobe and shaq. he is merely a supporting cast.
so the two without shaq makes kobe a legitimate champion twice.
what time ba bukas umpisa ng game 1?
9am
kobe is not in the finals, right? so tama na yan.. old issue na yan e.
If we get too technical with the word BALLHOG or Bwakaw sa salitang kanto e mas bwakaw daw si Jordan kaysa kay Kobe.
"The number of shots Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan jacked up on a nightly basis is most accurately viewed on a Per-36 minute basis to allow for a shots-per-minute type comparison. In this regard, Michael Jordan shot more often than Kobe Bryant when he was on the floor:
Field Goal Attempts Per-36 Minutes- Regular Season
Michael Jordan - 21.5
Kobe Bryant - 19.3
In other words, in 36 minutes of playing time Michael Jordan would jack up two more shots than Kobe. In terms of the sheer volume of shots attempted while on the floor, Jordan was the bigger ball hog".
So okay lang maging ballhog. Result - Jordan 6 Rings. Kobe 5.

before the NBA Finals starts tomorrow, let me add one more thing..
i am rooting for the OKC Thunder to win it all
BUT
if Lebron wins his first championship ring with the Miami Heat, haters should deal with that fact.
:)
Shot Tendencies By Heat And Thunder, Visualized
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/06/11/sports/basketball/nba-shot-analysis.html
ano kaya yung totoong music playing in the Heat locker room after game 7?
if Lebron wins his first championship ring with the Miami Heat, haters should deal with that fact.
:)
Kobe is the best player post mj...
Post Kobe......??tomorrow we will find out...durant or lbj....
I just have to comment on this one, the word "bwakaw" for me means hindi "pumapasa" ng bola. So if one will compare MJ to Kobe, one should check kung mas madami ba "assist" si Kobe kay MJ? I think there is no need to google, because one would already know the answer. ;D
Go Heat!
Jessica singing the anthem! Game na!!! Lets go heat!
Jessica singing the anthem! Game na!!! Lets go heat!
Sayang, walang TV dito sa office. Nasa driver's lounge, which is a few floors up pa.
Anybody have a live streaming link for Game 1? :)
so yung sa channel 2 real time talaga? kase palaging nanood ako sa 2 tapos pag check ko dito sa thread tapos na pala hehehe
by the way, dami ko nabasa about Kobe being said as ballhog, tira ng tira, eh bakit si james naman ayaw tumira choker ang hirap yata pag tira ka ng tira ballhog pag pasa naman ng pasa choker hahahaha,nalilito ako
if only westbrook will realize that he can be a better passer than a shooter, mas maganda sana ang laro nya palagi
going ahead of time, mukhang mas malaki ang pressure ng game sa Miami compared to OKC, if OKC loses, its ok, they are still young and have accomplished much already for such a young team pero if Miami loses this, ano kaya ang mangyayari, will they break the big 3 with Bosh probably being traded firts, or will they let og of the coach?
how about nash to OKC next year?pwede ba yan?
Wala na sa kangkungan nanaman pupulutin un LBJ's Heat.
Partida pa as Harden has only 5 points.
Great adjustment by Coach Brooks in the 2nd half by benching Perkins and Ibaka for Thabo and Collison who has done a very good job.
sa friday ba game 2?
pinakita na naman ng miami ang kanilang inability to execute sa end game. both offensively and defensively.
pinakita na naman ng miami ang kanilang inability to execute sa end game. both offensively and defensively.
Dapat kumain kangkong si LBJ para mawala daga nya. :D
For me, it's Westbrick > Wade... Westbrick, currently, is 10 out of 24 ATTEMPTS! But, has 8 rebounds and 11 assists.
hmmm...
ang dami na namang mga intellectual analysis na nangyayari sa thread... TALO KASI MIAMI... bad trip.
OKC must win game 2 ksi sa 2-3-2 format delikado pa un #1 seed sa number 2 seed.
actually sir Miami ang kailangang manalo ng game sa OKC kasi 2 teams palang ang nakakapag-sweep ng 3 straight home games sa finals. Detroit in 2004 and coincidentally Maimi in 2006. also, only one team has won the NBA Finals being down 0-2 on the road which is also Miami in 2006.
antahimik naman ;D
being down 0-2 wont be that bad as MIA will have 3 consecutive games played at their home court so malaking advantage yan sa MIA and definitely disadvantage for OKC should they split their first 2 home games.
Game 1 palang kasi, anything could happen. :)
Although I believe that in the NBA record book, there are more teams who win the championship after winning Game 1 of the Finals. Heard it from a commentator a few years ago, and I'm sure it hasn't changed.
on a 2-3-2 NBA Finals format. only two teams won the middle 3 home games. it's 90% sure that OKC will win one game at the Heat home court. Miami can't afford to be down 2 games. it's not like the other playoff rounds where you can be down 2 games and still have a big chance win the series.
I second. Miami NEEDS TO WIN GAME 2 if it wants to have a chance in this series.
AFAIK wala pa talo OKC sa homecourt nila this playoffs.. Solid ang crowd sa homecourt nila. Ang titindi ng energy. And this is one of the factors na mahihirapan ang Miami.
Good statistic for Miami. This means that the law of averages will soon catch up with OKC. They are bound to lose 1 or a couple of home games ;D
4th kanto na! CHOKING TIME again for LBJ mukhang hndi na nya magagawa un mga strong driving in you face lay ups and dunks w/c he usually do from the 1st to the 3rd quarters.
He's now satisfied to just pass the ball.
3 minutes already gone in the 4th and LBJ nawawala sa eksena sa offense ng MIA.
AFAIK wala pa talo OKC sa homecourt nila this playoffs.. Solid ang crowd sa homecourt nila. Ang titindi ng energy. And this is one of the factors na mahihirapan ang Miami.
If Kobe had won 7 championships and had 0 assists during his career, what then? I'd relate to the assist stat more on point guards rather than "shooting" guards. ;)
iba talaga homecourt ng OKC. parang college atmosphere yung homecourt nila.
Okey, but for now it is a big "If" ;D
I was quoting kung sino mas "bwakaw" si MJ or Kobe. I'm not quoting kung sino mas magaling o mas madami championship.
I'll be lying kung sasabihin ko na hindi "bwakaw" si Kobe ;D
the more pressure the more you can not execute well. now, sino ba sa 2 teams ang pressured?
the more pressure the more you can not execute well. now, sino ba sa 2 teams ang pressured?
does LBJ has the nerve? takot masisi? hanggang basa lang ako about NBA kaya di ko nasubaybayan ang galaw at play. kamusta ang coaching style ni kabayan? baka naman sa coaching ang may deperensya?
yan na... dami nang nagsulputan na mga intellectual analysis bakit natalo ang Miami...
kapag talo puro James ang sisi...
kapag nanalo kay Wade ang praises...
tsk tsk tsk...
lets go HEAT!!!

dpogs walang intellectual analysis, you dont need intellect to say that a player is non existent when the game is on the line, you just need common sense and understanding of the game, its a plus kung dati ka ding naglalaro ng basketball
amigos, gusto kong malaman bakit laging na kay LBJ ang puna? baka naman basang basa na ang moves nya? sakaling sya nga ang go-to guy, hindi ba madali kung magiging decoy sya? o natitsek pa din?
pero base sa mga usap-usapan din dito sa office without watching the game mukhang lamang ang OKC para sa akin. between the two teams kasi parang anghit este ang Heat ang may mabigat ng pasan to win. whereas ang OKC manalo o matalo wagi pa rin. tama ba?

Bumalik 'yung dating laro ni Bosh..., non-factor nanaman >:(2nd half performance was their doom. hope this will not be repeated in game 1. am sure coach SPO will adjust. ;)
Walang kalatuy-latoy sa opensa at lalo na sa depensa.
Na outwit at na out-hustled si Bosh ng big men ng OKC, lalo na ni Collison. :-[
LBJ played decent, but not great. 'Di ko alam kung bakit sila nag-pipilit tumira sa labas, mas maganda naman resulta 'pag nag drive to the basket sila ??? Sana hayaan na lang ng Big 3 kila Chalmers at Battier 'yung outside shooting.
Although talo Miami, nakita naman na may chance sila against OKC, madami kasi nag akala na OKC will just massacre Miami. Makanakaw lang sana ng isang panalo sa homecourt ng OKC medyo maganda na chances ng Miami. ;)
Let's Go Heat!
being down 0-2 wont be that bad as MIA will have 3 consecutive games played at their home court so malaking advantage yan sa MIA and definitely disadvantage for OKC should they split their first 2 home games.mia really needs to win game 2 because okc as we all know is really capable of beating any hometeam.. Hope lbj repeats his game 6 performance in ecf, they really need him to deliver.. Go spo, prove them pinoy rules..
KD >> LBJ sa 4th Q nung Game 1naging tentative lahat sila on the 2nd half. >:(
Wade SUCKED all game (I can't believe I'm saying this because he is my favorite player than leBron since 2006).
Sayang points ni Battier...
Good job, good effort...
KD >> LBJ sa 4th Q nung Game 1

bakit pag nananalo ang Miami, puro kangkungan at olats at bwa ha ha ha lang ang nababasa namin sa posts mo? ;D

nagaantay lang ako ng mga intellectual analysis niyo paano nanalo ang Miami...
nagsusulputan kasi mga intellectual analysis kapag natatalo ang Miami...
saka wala akong alam sa mga ana-analysis na yan... basta ang alam ko... ang Knick ay pinulot sa kangkungan.. ang Pacers ay pinalamon ng alikabok... at ang boston ay sinupalpal ng Miami...

naging tentative lahat sila on the 2nd half. >:(
sayang nga points ni battier, baka di na maulit yang ganyang scoring niya. wade had 19 points, respectable for some but when you're the leader of the team more is expected of you, lalo na sa end game. in fairness kay lebron he made shots and sank free throws in the fourth. tingin ko dito more on lack of defensive execution ng miami sa end game. spo should adjust to avoid a 2 nothing hole
+1 Haters gonna hate, but there are also basketball fans, who just want to discuss their take on games..
i agree. although Lebron only made 7 points in the fourth, he never really received any crucial help specially from DWade. (big fan of Wade as well)
sayang pa naman yung pag shutdown nila kay Harden hindi nakapag-capitalize ang Heat due to poor offensive executions ni Coach Spo. puro sila na-inlove sa jump shots. Lebron should turn on the switch again like he did in games 6 and 7 in the ECF.
from the play by play kasi saka sa mga ibang nababasa ko na recap, sa mga misses ni Wade galing mga points ng OKC.
Anyway, feel out game lang daw ito sabi ni LBJ... and malay natin maSweep ang next games :D
just read my previous post...
wala akong alam sa mga ana-analysis na yan... hindi ako iyong die hard fans na nakikita pati details ng laro...
basta ang alam ko lahat ng nakalaban ng Miami sa playoffs ay kung hindi man pinulot sa kangkungan nasusupalpal...
New York Knicks = kangkungan
Indiana Pacers = kangkungan
Boston Celtics = kangkungan
Oklahoman Thunders = malapit nang mapunta sa kangkungan...
analysis ko kung paano natalo ang Miami sa Game 1 ng Finals : "kasi mas maraming score ang kalaban."
ako celtics fan pero hindi lbj hater.. kampi lang ako sa OKC sa series na ito because my son likes KD so much ;D
not to take anything away from lbj coz he's a great player.. actually one of the best ever.. but i think KD should have gotten the MVP award this season... he's more deserving imo..
as for the reason why natalo heat sa game 1.. probably because of the dancing-dancing na parang mga lasheng after the ECF... nauna kasi celebration baka nawala focus.. nakalimutan na may finals series pa with okc.. hehehe...
pero it's still too early to tell sino talaga sa dalawa magwawagi.. game 1 pa lang naman. marami pang mangyayari.. let's just wait how miami will adjust and respond in game 2.. at the end of the day lahat tayong nba fans ang panalo kasi ang gandang bakbakan talaga nitong okc-miami finals na ito.. sarap panoorin.. ;D
eto ang pinaka intellectual na analysis na nabasa ko, sabi mo wala kang alam sa analysis?
id probably reach out to DOH and tell them drop Malunggay and adopt Kangkong instead, yan kase lagi mo inaadvocate eh
ka noli less of a pressure sa OKC kase nag over achieve na sila kung tutuusin, mabilis na sila nakarating sa champioship compared to others
ang heat madaming factors working for them, experience,, current league mvp with them and lbj pronouncing he will get multiple championship for the team,
yung aura kase ni lbj sobrang lakas ng dating as if he is the king of the world kaya mataas ang expectations sa kanya
nagaantay lang ako ng mga intellectual analysis niyo paano nanalo ang Miami...

saka wala akong alam sa mga ana-analysis na yan... basta ang alam ko... ang Knick ay pinulot sa kangkungan.. ang Pacers ay pinalamon ng alikabok... at ang boston ay sinupalpal ng Miami...
Now here's my analysis ( intellectual or emotional bahala na kayo ) : OKC was the better team down the stretch. Coach Brooks made some crucial adjustments / plays much better than Spoelstra.
Pero kaya ng Miami ang OKC no doubt. They (Miami) just have to play consistent and brilliant basketball ALL GAME LONG.
ha ha ha...
para sa tulad kong hamak na mababaw na basketball fans, anything na nagpapaliwanag paano nanalo (o natalo) ang isang team in details para sa akin ay isang intellectual analysis na yan...
at laging lumalabas ang mga ganyang paliwanag everytime na natatalo ang Miami... at kapag nanalo ang Miami halos wala kang mabasa paano nanalo ang Miami... LOL.
hats off to sir mattia
even though you're cheering for the Heat, you acknowledge the positives on the other team as well.
definitely kaya ng Miami ang OKC. even with OKC's win in game 1, this series is far from over.
playoff basketball is all about proper adjustments by the teams involved.

In fairness, I see intellectual analyses on the thread naman. Pero alam mo kasi dpogs, para sa basketball fans like us, emosyon talaga ang umiiral. Kaya masaya ang basketball kasi highly emotional. Di naman kasi tayo analysts. We are mere fans and spectators of the sport we love. Kaya nga may cheering and jeering. May asaran. May kangkungan. May itlugan. May kamatis at sibuyas. Sa UAAP nga, nagsusuntukan pa mga edukadong tao. All part of the game. Kaya masaya.

Pero kaya ng Miami ang OKC no doubt. They (Miami) just have to play consistent and brilliant basketball ALL GAME LONG. For a while there Miami's game was clicking. Tama ang spacing. The shooters were open and hitting shots. Lebron and Wade should really play more in the inside, especially Lebron. Tapos pasa sa shooter pag di kaya. Nangyari lang, nag adjust OKC pero di naka adjust Miami. Nag kanya kanya na ulit.
So, dpogs, I expect our Miami team to be back strong and take Game 2, especially Lebron. Remember the last time people wrote him off for a crucial Game 6 in Boston? 45 pts, 15 rebs & 5 assists. ;D ;D
Pansin ko wala kasi legitimate shot blockers ang heat. Shot blockers nila guards, lebron and wade. Kaya dami drives ni westbrook and durant. Pag nag help naman, drop pass kay colison, perkins and ibaka for the dunk.
yan din sabi ko kanina kay 5nyakerg3n (5zig3n) kanina nung kausap ko sa phone. mas delikado ang Miami pag dehado and their backs on the wall.
Pansin ko wala kasi legitimate shot blockers ang heat.
Dirk Nowitzki has paid close attention to Kevin Durant’s playoff run.
"KD," Nowitzki said, "is way ahead of my curve. He's arguably the best player in the league right now. I see a guy that really has no holes.
"He's a 6-10 guy with a 7-4 wingspan who can shoot it from the parking lot. He's posting up now. In transition he's so long that, when he gets a pass from the 3-point line, it's a layup or dunk with one step. He's got the one- or two-dribble pull-up, which you need to be a great scorer, because you can't just shoot 3s or go to the basket if you want to be a great scorer, 'cause sometimes you can't get all the way to the bucket. He can go both ways, one or two dribbles and up.
"He's way more of a 3-man than I ever was. He handles the ball way better on the break than I ever did. He's got deeper range. And he's doing all this at 23. He's won the scoring title three times in a row, so that he means he won the first one at 21. I barely got through my rookie year. When I was 21, Gary Trent was still killing me in practice."
Sana magawa ulit ng heat gaya last year ECF. GAme1 dominated by chicago and all the while kala natin tapos na series.. ;D

Ot: bat naka eyeglasses sila halos lahat sa post game interview??
analysis ko kung paano natalo ang Miami sa Game 1 ng Finals : "kasi mas maraming score ang kalaban."
Si lebron mahusay pagka lamang na lamang sila.
Pagka naghahabol. Di mo makitaan ng apoy e. Si wade parang ganun na rin.
Ot: bat naka eyeglasses sila halos lahat sa post game interview??
puro nakaglasses wala naman grado ;D
mas lalo ko gusto manalo Miami ngayon para maraming tao ang luluha. facebook's and twitter's servers will crash and a 2nd Great Flood will occur due to millions and millions of haters crying. ;D+1 ;D
:D Matagal ng umiiyak sa katatawa mga haters.kulang pa ang mga yan!
mas lalo ko gusto manalo Miami ngayon para maraming tao ang luluha. facebook's and twitter's servers will crash and a 2nd Great Flood will occur due to millions and millions of haters crying. ;D
From a fanboy point of view, Lebron winning his first ring is taboo. Who would root for a villain?yup. Miami should return the favor this time.
But from a marketing point of view of the NBA, it makes perfect sense ;D I'm telling you, when Lebron gets that crown, the popularity of the league will reach insane proportions never seen before.

2011 Finals Game 1 : Miami 92, Dallas 84
Everybody was saying Dallas is dead! Some even predicted a sweep by Miami. We all know how the series went.
I think now it's Miami's turn, down 0-1 in the Finals...
Lebron needs better glasses. He can't seem to find his heart, let alone his ball$.
mas lalo ko gusto manalo Miami ngayon para maraming tao ang luluha. facebook's and twitter's servers will crash and a 2nd Great Flood will occur due to millions and millions of haters crying. ;D

but Dallas has winners, Miami has choker.Dallas has chokers until they won a championship. :)
They need to. To avoid 0-2 deficit. Go HEAT!

Ibaka is keeping OKC in this game.
Harden as well with 14pts. Durant and Westbrook are shooting bricks so far.
Yan nanaman ang HEAT, lamang sa una. IF they want to find, they need to finish STRONGAgree. Dapat di na maulit yung game 1. nag pabaya nung 2nd half. lets see and hope di na maulit.
halimaw talaga si Ibaka sa depensa. lebron should take up this challenge and attack more.
Lebron should drive and drive against OKC's defense. Nevermind if he gets blocked by Ibaka. Just show the opposing team you're not scared of being stopped and know that you'll eventually get a call. And the good thing about James driving is that he acts like a black hole that will suck 2 or 3 OKC defenders, and with his ability to pass, he can open the game up for their shooters.

It's always a mystery to me kung bakit mas maraming shot attempts si Russell Westbook kaysa sa NBA leading scorer. :D
hindi siya efficient scorer. he needs to take a lot of shots to reach his average score. game one: durant: 20 FGA, westbrook: 24 FGA. and yet durant ended with 36 points while westrbook had 27. you do the math ;D
The mystery to me is kung bakit Russell Westbrook is given the freedom to shoot that many attempts even if Assistant Coaches and Trainers see the shot attempts in the stats. Why don't they make adjustments to lessen his shot attempts, and create more opportunities for his teammates?
The mystery to me is kung bakit Russell Westbrook is given the freedom to shoot that many attempts even if Assistant Coaches and Trainers see the shot attempts in the stats. Why don't they make adjustments to lessen his shot attempts, and create more opportunities for his teammates?although i also dont agree with RW taking a large number shots. this is the reason why he is very hard to defend. throughout the game he is very very aggresive.
4th qtr na..dito na natin malalaman ang kalalabasan ng laro.
kapit heat!
The mystery to me is kung bakit Russell Westbrook is given the freedom to shoot that many attempts even if Assistant Coaches and Trainers see the shot attempts in the stats. Why don't they make adjustments to lessen his shot attempts, and create more opportunities for his teammates?
becoz Westbrook is an explosive player and all they dont need to control him but just unleash himi hope not. heat should just be patient in their moves to the basket plus great DEFENSE.
OKC on the rally with still over 8 minutes in the final kanto, could this be another 4th quarter MIA/ LBJ collapse?
i hope not. heat should just be patient in their moves to the basket plus great DEFENSE.
i hate you Westbrook! >:( ;D
Miami gets it's 1st win of the NBA Finals
dapat meron din INTELLECTUAL ANALYSIS ang panalo ng Heat
baka meron nanaman magreklamo eh ::)
That non-call on Le Choke was a killer! Clearly, it was a foul by Le Choke vs. KD35...Refs decided the outcome of the game...Great effort from OKC!
great kangkungan win by miami ;D
refs wouldn't call a foul on a fade away shot. come on. ::)
meron foul eh! bakit ba ang dami mong angal ah? >:( ;D :D
refs wouldn't call a foul on a fade away shot. come on. ::)
The foul wasn't on the fade away, it was PRIOR to the fade away
ok. that should've been a foul! ;D
ok. that should've been a foul! ;D
The BIG difference: SHANE!
wahahaha leomarley OWNED! :D :D :D ;D
you do know how to recognize sarcasm when you see one, do you? ;D
ang sarap mong asarin. hahaha :D ;D
you really think maaasar ako ngayon? specially that Miami won? ;D
The Heat did enough to get out with the W, notable difference is the aggressiveness of LBJ in driving to the basket and the remarkable contribution of Bosh. Surprise so far is Battier's contribution in the first two games, particularly the 3s.
OKC should quickly turn their game around at the start of the game. They can't be falling back big to start the game and hope they luck out in the 4th.
Excellent composure by Miami in the end to avoid another collapse. LBJ and Wade did what they were expected to do, but as mentioned in earlier posts - huge contributions from Bosh (especially on the glass) and Battier.
First playoff loss at home for OKC. Yep, mahirap ang naghahabol on the road, so they need to work on that energy from the opening tip-off.
Looking ahead, another interesting NBA Finals stat: Since Finals went to 2-3-2 format, series has been tied 1-1 12 times. Winner of Game 3 has always won the championship, except last year's Miami Heat, which won Game 3 at Dallas then lost 3 straight.
The BIG difference: SHANE!
Following someone's intellectual logic, Miami won because OKC scored 4 less points. ;D
For me its LBJ, 12-12 on Free throws.. :)
Now here's my analysis ( intellectual or emotional bahala na kayo ) : OKC was the better team down the stretch. Coach Brooks made some crucial adjustments / plays much better than Spoelstra. Pero kaya ng Miami ang OKC no doubt. They (Miami) just have to play consistent and brilliant basketball ALL GAME LONG. For a while there Miami's game was clicking. Tama ang spacing.

So, dpogs, I expect our Miami team to be back strong and take Game 2, especially Lebron. Remember the last time people wrote him off for a crucial Game 6 in Boston? 45 pts, 15 rebs & 5 assists. ;D ;D
Very difficult to predict outcome of series. So let's take it one game at a time.
Fearless forecast for Game 3 : MIAMI ;D ;D
LBJ haters, watch out. This guy's on a mission.
3 more wins by the Heat and the Great Flood will occur! repent! ;D
dun sa last 2 free throws ni Lebron kitang-kita na kinakabog sya. lakas nung exhale na eh lol ;Dnag yoyoga na kasi sya. ;D
3 more wins by the Heat and the Great Flood will occur! repent! ;D;D ;D ;D ;D
My prediction; Whoever wins four (4) games will win the championship! ;D
My prediction; Whoever wins four (4) games will win the championship! ;D
kailangan manalo kagad ang Miami sa Game 3 para magkakumpyansa sila laro.kung kumpyansa lang marami sila nun, yun nga ang reason bakit sila natatalo at maramng galit sa kanila..
kaya nanalo ang MIA kasi di nachoke si idol.. ;D ;D ;D
di na aabutin ng game 7 ang finals na ito...
Tatapusin na daw ng OKC sa Game 5 eh ;D ;D ;D
Sana manghimasok na si David stern.....pumabor n un mga tawag sa heat........grabe un diprensya ng mga ft attempts...
ganyan ba talaga ka desperate ang ibang Heat fanboys?
kailangan pa humingi ng tulong kay David Stern para manalo ang team nila?
this is one of the reasons why i don't like the Heat even though i like Lebron (a little hehe).
let them win because of their teamwork and basketball skills, not because the NBA commisioner pulled a few strings here and there. if Miami would indeed win this year's NBA Finals, i'll be happy for Lebron.. not the Heat in general.
Sineryoso? :) :D ;D
Does Kevin Durant Think He Was Fouled By Lebron James?
link (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2012/6/15/3089303/kevin-durant-fouled-lebron-james-nba-finals-2012)
either Durant was told what to say during the presscon or he is just a humble human being. I'd go with the latter.
ah.. biro lang ba yun? i don't think so.
yung mga posts na tulad ng qinuote ko, sign of desperation after the freakin' first game of the series. ::)
obviously panic mode na yung nag post nun.. what? after game 1? LOL.. pathetic
good thing nanalo ang team niyo sa game 2. pano kung hindi? prayer vigil na sa EDSA shrine? ;D
i feel bad for the legitimate and open minded Heat fans, nasasapawan tuloy ng fanboys.
when even yourself booked a first round upset between your NY against the Miami this season. Yup, I bookmarked that ;)
And one more thing, don't be such a "Spelling Police" if you want to correct someone, do it in a humble way...please ;D
And you hate the person who misspelled Thunders huh?
Paano na lang if Utah Jazz? ;D
aww c'mon peeps, stay frosty! :)
drinks on me ;D

Wag kayo maniwala di ko kilala yang si 5zig3n lol
maiba ako, bakit si pao, the thread starter di na nag popost dito, nawalan na ba ng gana sa finals, baka clippers and team nya hahahaha
maiba ako, bakit si pao, the thread starter di na nag popost dito, nawalan na ba ng gana sa finals, baka clippers and team nya hahahaha
nawalan ng gana kasi nasa kangkungan na ang team namin (NY Knicks) ;D
Uy, dami ko na miss. Exciting din pala dito parang Finals ;D
Matanong nga kita, 5zig3n, I hope you don't mind. Or I just missed it -- Saan ka ba kampi? OKC or HEAT?
I read somewhere that you are cheering for LBJ but not for the Heat? So OKC ka?
Pag Finals kasi, ika nga : KAMPIHAN NA ;D
Closet fan ng Heat yang si 5zig3n hehehe
Closet fan ng Heat yang si 5zig3n hehehe
Naku sabihin mo magladlad na! Mas masarap ang feeling.
Kelangan pa namin ng kakampi sa Heat para may kadamay kami pag natalo ;D
OKC all the way. i even said i'll be rooting for the Western Conference in the NBA Finals as early as the 1st or 2nd round of the playoffs even if my Lakers were playing like crap and your Miami Heat kicked the living hell out of my NY Knicks. and yes, i like LBJ in some way but not the Heat as a whole.
kampihan na? it's not my fault that there are others who are also cheering for OKC as well and hate the Heat as much as i do. i barely know the other members here (aside from leomarley who's obviously a Heat fan and anya618 who i think is also cheering for OKC). so what kampihan are you talking about? :D
sino kaya yung nag try na i-recruit ako sa pag cheer sa Heat? ::) ;D :D
Okay clear as day ;D Akala ko kasi kakampi ka namin (shucks...). Sorry. So you are cheering for OKC. But "like LBJ in some way". YES SIR!! Thanks for clarifying.
if Miami gets a deeper bench, MAYBE i'll jump on the badwagon. haha just kidding
actually, aside from Lebron.. ok din sa akin si Shane Battier. dati ko pa wish na sana kunin siya ng Lakers since i like athletic wings who can defend the opposing team's best perimeter player and can score once in awhile.
to be honest, i like how Lebron's been playing in the postseason. focused basketball, less childish antics.
Next year, Steve Nash malamang sa Heat na. ;D
Plus I think they need a better coach. I love our kababayan but I think he lacks the execution especially in end games.
I had dinner with a former very good amateur coach and PBL player last night and he said Spoelstra mahina sa end game. And Coach Brooks of OKC is brilliant. Isipin mo hinabol yun 8 point lead ng Miami in just less than 50 seconds and cut it into 2. He did that with brilliant set plays and motion offense. He also said madaming lapses ang Miami especially sa execution kaya nahabol.
what happens kaya if LBJ wins it this year? ;D ;D
what happens kaya if LBJ wins it this year? ;D ;D
it's useless arguing with people like you, but anyway..
oh, and if i didn't quote leomarley.. tatlo lang kami na nagpopost at that time so obviously kaming tatlo lang ang magkausap. did i say anything about ''hey PDVD heat fans, the knicks will upset your team in the first round.. book it!''? it was pretty obvious that it was for leomarley because siya ang kausap ko at that time. naasar ba si leomarley when i posted that? when we get to talk outside of PDVD, we just laugh about some of the trash talking we post here (between the two of us lang). other members posted their playoff predictions favoring certain teams but did the other members cry foul over that? NO. it's because they respect the others' opinions on which teams would advance or not. you're the only one who can't accept the fact that some people dislike your team. and you're the only one who reacted negatively to what i posted before. since the Heat are already in the NBA Finals and the Knicks are swimming in kangkungan bliss, why don't you get over it and move on?
ganito lang yan.. you can pretty much decypher posts between members kung magkaka-kilala sila in person and kung nag aasaran lang sila. if there were 3 other members posting stuff and nag aasaran sila, would i butt in on their conversation? if it was a general topic, MAYBE but IT DEPENDS. kung nagbibiruan sila about personal stuff, NO.
oh, and sa tingin mo maaasar ako with the fact that the Knicks got eliminated by your beloved team?
hahaha. try harder, it takes more than that to piss me off. ;)
are you sure misspelled or typo lang?
bakit paulit-ulit and ilang beses na niya pinost na Thunders instead of Thunder?
sira ba ang keyboard niya? ;D
i can't blame you for defending him, kayong dalawa lang naman ang magkasundo or nagkaka intindihan dito eh. :)
aww c'mon peeps, stay frosty! :)

Phil Jackson tells HBO the NY Knicks are ‘clumsy’ and Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire ‘don’t fit together well’

Thunder vow to avoid siren song of South Beach
The Mavs arrived here for the 2006 Finals with a 2-0 lead and were initially booked for the series' middle three games at an upscale downtown hotel about 10 minutes from South Beach. Sightings of Mavericks player in nightspots were quickly reported by the local media, and after Dallas lost Games 3 and 4, then-Mavs coach Avery Johnson accused his players of having a “vacation mentality.” He forced the team to move 45 minutes away in Fort Lauderdale and banned family and friends from the hotel.
The Mavs lost Game 5 in Miami and Game 6 in Dallas as the Heat won their first title. In last season's rematch during the 2011 Finals, Mavs coach Rick Carlisle took the team to the same Miami downtown hotel, but had an early curfew. Dallas won two of three games in Miami to win its first championship. :D :D :D
currently watching The Dream Team's 20th anniversary documentary
LOL on Isiah Thomas not being selected to play with the best of the best. :D
MJ and Pippen clearly didn't want to play with him. ;D
Ive been looking all over btv and nba premium for this. Are the Channel schedule in sky cable correct (kung sky ka)? I checked the schedule for both channels since June 13th and can't seem to find it.
Sir, what channel ba ito? and what time? Any more replays after today?
sent you a PM sir. :)
laugh trip yung part na nasa Monaco beach si Scottie Pippen :D
Thanks so much sir, appreciate it.
laugh trip yung part na nasa Monaco beach si Scottie Pippen :D
More haters. More fans. More posts in the social media. Unimaginable repercussion in the league. The game of basketball needs Lebron to win really.
but i hate loading teams with superstars with the mentality that they can just steam roll over the entire league
Magic and Jordan (and I think even Larry Legend and the rest of the past superstars)admittedly shot down any notions of them thinking of doing a Superfriends type of gathering like the trio at Miami did. They are in unison that they wanted to beat the competition, not join them.
OKC on a slow start again..
Anyone with the score now, sirs?
Anyone with the score now, sirs?Youre online but cant check the score?
A lot of sports sites blocked at the office sir ( but pdvd is not).
Thanks for the score sir.
even yahoo? try this http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore;_ylt=AvEy9DfN6.svSDFls8CK8L28vLYF?gid=2012061714
Youre online but cant check the score?
Miami playing like crap again in the 3rd. ::)
oh delayed telecast pala sa Chanel 2yup mahigit isang quarter.
i'm not watching the game live but what do you expect? MIA wasnt able to out score OKC in the 2nd half of the previous 2 games.
yup mahigit isang quarter.
Miami still leading by one point. 74-73 8:52 remaining in the game.
78-77 6 mins remaining. this is an ugly grin-it-out game.
pangit ng free-throw shooting ng Thunder 13/22.
So 2-1 na for MIA same situation they had last year against Dallas before they celebrated too soon then chicken out the rest of the series.
negativity first and not giving credit. typical. ::)sir, ganun talaga pag may poot sa isang team. ;D
negativity first and not giving credit. typical. ::)
hirap talaga si Durant bantayan si Lebron. always on foul trouble every game.
Nobody in the league can shut down Lebron at this time. It's only Lebron who can shut down Lebron if he decides to choke ;D
Great game indeed.
OKC didn't play catchup basketball this time (Miami naghabol dito!) but they played some stupid hoops out there. That Harden foul on Lebron in the last 1 minute was just plain stupid. And those fouls on the 3 point shooter of Miami (Miller and Jones yata ) put the Heat back. Remember, OKC led by 10 pts and had the perfect chance to blow the game wide open. You foul a 3 point shooter while you're leading is just crazy. You do it again (in the same spot pa sus!) is such an abomination.
+1 also OKC missed too many FTs.
dam di dumdadim da dum didum dadim didum...
bwa ha ha ha ha...
What OKC is facing here is an underrated defensive team. I think people forget that Miami's defense is second to none in this series. Miami has shut down the offense of OKC for two consecutive games to the tune of 96 ( game 2 ) and a measly 85 in game 3. I said "measly" because OKC is the best offensive team in the postseason with an average of 100.3 ppg.
I keep saying over and over, "DEFENSE WINS GAMES".
Tama si steelcrazy, hindi mananalo ang OKC if they can't shoot more than 100 pts in a game. In game 1 they scored 105 and they won, remember?
And one more thing -- they shouldn't put Durant on Lebron anymore in this series. Result? Durant 5 fouls. Durant can't guard Lebron. Nobody can guard Lebron from OKC. So let Durant preserve himself for a better offensive game. He was shooting bricks in the crucial moments of Game 3. Assign someone else to Lebron. Maybe Sefolosha will do a better job.
I see OKC coming back strong for Game 4. Scott Brooks is such a brilliant coach and I'm sure he will make adjustments. Interesting to see who he puts on LBJ.
But I'm gonna go with Miami for Game 4. Momentum is on their side. They will play in a different level next game and take that commanding 3-1 lead.
I am learning to love LBJ now because he has proven himself to be worthy the past 3 games! :D
Brooks should rotate Sefolosha and Harden on guarding Lebron and let Durant face Wade/Chalmers. Sefolosha should be the main defender since he does a great job defending Lebron.
LBJ is playing great. And Durant is now the new choker in games 2 & 3 ...
Whatever happened to the team that navigated through the West playoff minefield? Even Durant was guilty of taking a terrible shot, a runner against James in the final minute that wasn't even close. After his 17-point Picasso in the final quarter of Game 1, this was the second straight game Durant, guarded by James, didn't have an answer in the fourth. After missing a short jumper near the buzzer in Game 2 -- OK, there was some contact -- Durant missed four of six shots in the fourth and scored four points.
Funny but if it were Lebron who did this, he gets blamed right away. But since it's not him and someone named Durant, OK lang. Pag si Lebron choker. Pag si Durant malas lang. Ayos ba? ;D
loss. Perkins, apparently the only player along with Fisher with championship experience.
serious question.. may pag asa pa ba ang OKC sa series na ito? ;D

meron naman siyempre BUT they have to win game 4 first ;D
tinanong ko rin yan last finals vs dallas. ayun natalo ko ng 3k :-)
didn't watch the game earlier, but nung nalaman ko na panalo ang Miami and now up 2-1..di pa naman tapos yung series. dasal dasal lang sa game 4 :-)
sabi ko.. OKC ain't in a bad position, meron naman ibang teams down 2-1 before but eventually won the series. ;D
buti sayo sir 3k lang, sa akin 10k in this series. ;D

in a way tama si dpog(s) ;D pag talo Heat daming analysis ng mga tao lalo na dito. pag panalo wala man lang kahit kaunting recognition. sarap talaga pag nanalo Miami kasi madaming mabwibwisit. hehehe ;D
ready na ba tayo tumalon sa kangkungan pag natalo ang OKC? ;D
serious question.. may pag asa pa ba ang OKC sa series na ito? ;D
tinanong ko rin yan last finals vs dallas. ayun natalo ko ng 3k :-)
I would like to see LBJ in a Lakers or Celtics or even Thunder jersey. ;D ;D ;D
I dont think I hate LBJ, I just dont like the Miami uniform.
uy bakit naman sir? ;D Miami heat uniform is one of my favorites in the NBA specially their red "away" unifrom (i don't like the black one). one of the reasons also why i like Miami. Mordern but simple.
It looks stinky and hot and dirty.
It looks stinky and hot and dirty.
if by next game si durant pa rin ang nagbabantay kay lebron. lebron should take advantage of kevin's defense because he seems to have a knack for getting called for silly fouls
if next game, Brooks would still use Durant to defend Lebron, the Thunder can kiss their title hopes bye bye.
i mean, why push your best offensive threat to guard the opposing team's best player?
Durant isn't exactly in the same level as MJ or Pippen defensively, just my honest opinion.
I still believe the champion, whoever it will be, will win the crown either on the 6th game or the 7th game...

uy.. bagay din ah! ;D
LOL ;D
IMHO, the Thunder should check Battier, Bosh and Wade rather than Le-Choke...Le-Choke will get his points no matter what...so better focus their defense on these three...Battier has been like a "Kukoc" or "Odom" during crucial moments of the game...Bosh can be checked by Perkins or Ibaka...let Sefaloshia guard D-Wade...Just let Le-Choke score his normal points...KD35 and Le-Choke can cancel each other out...it's the intangibles of Battier and Bosh which allowed them to win in Game 2 and 3...
Honestly, hindi bagay...the Lakers will never be the same if they decide on eventually getting Le-Choke...
why sir? ;D
Battier has been like a "Kukoc" or "Odom" during crucial moments of the game...
It doesn't fit...seems there's something wrong...he is better staying put at Miami

i agree. mas bagay pa yung uniform ng Knicks compared sa Lakers. actually for me parang hindi bagay yung unifrom ng Heat kay lebron even if i'm a Heat fan.
I guess they were just killed in the free throws where Miami had 31-35 for 88% vs OKC's woeful 62% or 15 of 24.
and why oh why did they let Lebron grab those 14 rebounds? :(
kaya coaches ALWAYS stress the importance of free throws.
15-24? if only the Thunder made at least 7 more, that would have been the game right there for them.

OKC should realize this sana.. they should learn from the Celtics sana...
Sir Philip, my gut tells me this will be a stretched series...
@leomarley
di ba ayaw mo kay Lebron? trade na lang..
Lebron for NY Knicks owner James Dolan + Isiah Thomas
;D :D
seriously, even if the Heat win the championship this year, i don't think people would stop hating the Heat and Lebron. ganyan din before with the Lakers, even during the time of Shaq with Kobe. daming haters!
There will be more people who want to see Lebron fail again. And the NBA loves this!!!
if Lebron fails, he'll opt out of his contract in 2014 (sana!). that's one of the reasons why i want the Heat to fail. ;D
sorry, makulit ako pag dating sa topic na ito. hindi ako nawawalan ng pag asa that someday, Lebron would play for the bright lights of Madison Square Garden. just imagine, if the Brooklyn Nets get D12 to pair him with Deron, and Lebron with the Knicks + another superstar, matinding rivalry yan!
more $$$ for the NBA :D
still waiting sa mga mahihilig magbigay ng mga end game analysis kapag natatalo ang Heat(s)...
you can have him after he gives Miami their 4th championship trophy. by then he'll be on the decline and be a shell of his former self. ;D
if next game, Brooks would still use Durant to defend Lebron, the Thunder can kiss their title hopes bye bye.
i mean, why push your best offensive threat to guard the opposing team's best player?
Durant isn't exactly in the same level as MJ or Pippen defensively, just my honest opinion.
Westbrook seems back to his old ways, throwing bricks here and there.
Miami won becasue they have a higher score at the end of the game than OKC
hindi ba dahil okc scored less? ;D
just checked the box score of game 3 (since i didn't watch it earlier), Battier was 2-2 from 3.
sayang din yun! only if the Thunder checked him, that would have been the difference maker.
gonna watch the replay later (baka sa replay, Thunder ang winner ng game 3 hehehe)
crucial din yung dalawang three point shot na na foul ng OKC ang laki ng lamang ng OKC then though sa 3rd qtr yun, it started the momentum shift
trade his @ss in the offseason. ;D
there's talk that the Charlotte Bobcats would offer the no.2 pick for James Harden or Rudy Gay
i believe at that point, Durant was forced to sit down because of foul trouble?
that's the trouble of asking your primary offensive option to guard the primary offensive option of the opposing team...
foul trouble :-\
sa NBA 2K12 hindi ko ginagawa yan. :D
Harden is inconsistent, siguro this series would add needed maturity next season pero bata pa si Harden di ba? Rudy Gay is good pero nagka injury na
Any chance for OKC to get Derron? or Nash perhaps? Durant would have a field day with Nash around.
hindi ba dahil okc scored less? ;D
pwede din :D ;D
like you said, he is no way near Jordan or Pippen.
why didnt i saw that angle ;D ;D,
Rudy Gay is overrated IMHO, along with the likes of Joe Johnson. both earning tons of $$$ with their respective teams.
there were some rumblings a few weeks ago that Jason Kidd might consider the Thunder, and move Westbrick to the 2 spot, which IMO is his natural position. the problem is, he's a little bit undersized to be a SG.
Nash to the Thunder wouldn't be bad, im not a fan of his but at least he's a pass first, shoot 2nd type of PG. baka Thunder and Heat pa ang mag agawan to sign him in the offseason.
you focus too much kasi on hating ;D ;D ;D
i like Nash, he makes a good player a superstar, di ko lang tlaga maintindihan waht happened kay Stoudamire nung magkasama sila, Kidd should be a good option baka pakinggan ni Westbrook mukahng si Fisher di pinapakinggan eh, im sure nagbibigay naman ng pointers kay Westbrook yun,
sino yung nag laro sa rookie all star, yun ang magaling.
naku patay baka magalit sa atin si dpog nyan ;D ;D ;D
aayusin ko na sa susunod ang analysis ko ;D ;D
Matanda na si Nash so a young team like OKC or any team that is rebuilding wont invest in him.
Matanda na si Nash so a young team like OKC or any team that is rebuilding wont invest in him.
pero kaya pa naman nya sigruo ng isang taon, tipong Gary Payton nung lumipat sa Lakers, atleast since mababa na ang value nya, baka pwedeng trade sa player na di malaking kawalan sa OKC
GP played poorly when he was with the Lakers, because he didn't fit in with the triangle offense.
yes sir irving grabe mag laro yun ang galing parang di na tao, o all star lang yun kaya magaling?si john wall bilib din ako
pero nag champion pa sya sa lakers right?
si nash ba nag champion na?
akala ko naka isa si payton sa lakers, di rin pala pareho sila ni malone
akala ko naka isa si payton sa lakers, di rin pala pareho sila ni malone
sa Miami pala siya nag champion, tingnan mo nga naman naging Miami fan din pala ako natadaan ko na kase si Shaq lumipat duon.
i was just reminded about Penny Hardaway, ang galing galing pero nawala na lang ng ganun ganun.

Westbrook actually was a SG all his basketball life up until college where he was paired with Darren Collison as the PG iirc. He is playing PG for the first time in the NBA.
Many hate Westbrook but as far as i'm concern, he's just playing the same style as Derrick Rose do for CHI.
Mas maswerte pa nga si Westbrook he has a superstar in Durant playing along him.
Even CHI havent made a move moving Rose to the off guard whereas OKC already acquired the veteran Fisher to give some breathing room for Westbrook.
Let's just consider Westbrook as a BOMB always ready to explode and destroy their opponents but eventually can self destruct and hurt his own team.

I like the last part but comparing him to Rose? naah.. Rose is a leader, westbrook wants to be a leader and he won't listen
^ I think we can compare him to Marbury during his Twolves days, when he has KG on his side..
durant is overrated..para lang siyang pinalaking reggie miller.. :o

This is really a dream match up between Miami and OKC. Aside from the MVPs of LBJ and Scoring Champion awards of Durant.. ito pa yun iba:
Harden - 6th man of the year
Fisher - 5 Time NBA champion
Westbrook - Olympic Gold champion
Wade - NBA finals MVP and champion
Sino pa ba?
Sayang if nanalo si Ibaka nun defensive player of the year :)
durant is overrated..para lang siyang pinalaking reggie miller.. :o
Sayang if nanalo si Ibaka nun defensive player of the year :)
Reggie? I actually consider him underrated. In the playoffs, he was arguably only second to MJ when it comes to clutch.
IMHO, si Ibaka talaga ang dapat nanalo na DPOY even though im a NY Knicks fan (the team Tyson Chandler plays for)
+1 to this. remember how he torched my Knicks in the earl y1990's? ;D
even MJ's Bulls had a difficult time against him in the late 1990's
Reggie Miller is probably one of the best perimeter players to move w/o the ball and use tons of screens.
the only other player i can think of who plays the same way is Ray Allen.

Perkins - 1 Time NBA Champion (Celtics)
Spoelstra - 2 time Champion - East
And don't forget, Juwan Howard a former All Star. Peborit ko yan ang galing sa round robin ;D highest pointer sa round hahaha.
Howard is the third oldest active player in the NBA behind Kurt Thomas (39) and Grant Hill (39). Fisher, at 37, is the 7th oldest player. Next to Howard is Jason Kidd, Steve Nash and Marcus Camby.
For me its a toss between Tony Allen or LBJ as the DPOY..
Also, Rick or Rip Hamilton during his Detroit days..
hahahahahaha tawa ako ng tawa dun sa Durant and Reggie Miller comparison
ang layo.. :D :D
On Westbrook.. As much as I cringe when Russel takes those jumpshots.. I still like him as a player and lalo na his energy. If he doesn't take those shots, Durant can't carry OKC alone so kelangan talaga mag score silang dalawa. Efficiency in shots na lang ang in question and decision making :P

Game 1 Playoffs 1995 vs the Knicks. Knicks up 6 with about 18 seconds to go. Miller makes 8 points in 9 seconds. And all that thrash talking vs Spike Lee. Man, badaaaasssss Miller. I love that guy...
cge durant n lang saka wesley person...
difference lang kay Hamilton limited lang to mid-range ang jumpshot nya but i love it when detroit run Rip's plays. :D
who's next? Adam Morrison? :D
willie anderson... ::)
Rip Hamilton? Please, the only time he's mentioned in the same breathe with Miller is because he's one of the best at moving around for a jumper. Yes, he's got the stamina to keep running and running until he gets open for a shot. He's not close to clutch as Miller, though.
Durant...hmmm...can't think of anyone to compare him to. Maybe a more-agile and longer James Worthy.

Para sa akin, Durant reminds me of Kevin Garnett in his younger Timberwolves Days. Only better kasi he has a three point shot.
who's the better closer, Miller or Horry?
Aside from his game vs. the Knicks, there was also this game in the first round against the Nets where Reggie forced OT by throwing a fade away hail mary three about 6ft from the 3-pt line and banking it in! :o
Then there's the MJ push off to nail a three to force OT or won the game. Can't remember exactly.
Para sa akin, Durant reminds me of Kevin Garnett in his younger Timberwolves Days. Only better kasi he has a three point shot.
Guys, Miller was a closer, Horry is just like Fisher, opportunistic clutch shooters. Big difference. You can expect Miller to carry the load the whole game while Fish and Big Shot Rob can't.
anyway, pansin ko parang 2 knees ni Durant ang may braces yata yun?
knee pads?
More of knee sleeves. I believe Durant has been sidelined before due to knee injury. Baka yun yun.looks like a sleeve nga..
the best shooter is the late drazen petrovic... :o
looks like a sleeve nga..
is it too early to say na next year baka sila ulet sa finals? sana umabot ng game 7..
di ko na yata naabutan yun, some said Bird was one of the best too..
But for me I think Ray Allen is the best pure shooter, and his form and stroke is just so smooth..
Isa lang ang sure sa NBA ngayon : Its Unpredictability. Sino magaakala na Bulls e sibak sa first round? Tapos ang Sixers na game 7 ang Boston. Down 0-2 ang Spurs, sabi natin sweep ang OKC. Baligtad ang nangyari, OKC swept Spurs in the next 4 games. Down 3-2 ang Miami, sabi natin ala na kasi sa Boston ang Game 6. Lebron answered with two consecutive huge games.
The other teams are also rebuilding. Lakes I'm sure di papatalo yun. So for next year, gagaling din ibang teams. I think it's safe to say na one of them (OKC or Miami) will be back in the finals.
As for this series going to game 7, yan din prediction ko nun -- Miami in 7. Pero parang hindi na aabot ;D ;D
Bah! OKC was down 0-2 and won the series versus SA. It's just 1-2 against them right now, so, the series is too close to call.

malaki ang pagkaka-iba nun, remember down sila ng 0-2 kaso yung next game nila nun ay sa home nila, ngayon the next 2 games ay sa bahay pa din ng Miami.
I'd take my chances on a 1-2 deficit on the road than a 0-2 hole, even if the next two are at home. With the 1 victory tucked in, you know you can beat them. With a 0-2 hole, you begin to doubt.
drazen is reggie's idol...
Say what? I didn't know that. Drazen was wasting in Portland when Miller was lighting it up already in Indiana. Petrovic only shined when he was in New Jersey. Pity, really, that he died so young.
hindi din sir kasi 0-2 ka nga pero alam mo nmn na sa next game ay sa home ninyo gaganapin kaya may chance mo pa manalo. kesa 1-2 tapos next games ay sa road kayo maglalaro medyo mag-iisip-isip ka na din.
i expect game 4 to be a battle. OKC knows that they can beat the heat, they just need to execute offensively and defensively. so far wala pa rin namang blow out na nangyayari so it's a neck and neck fight just what a championship game should be. sana lang wag bumitaw agad ang Thunder para mas maganda ang laban
^ I think we can compare him to Marbury during his Twolves days, when he has KG on his side..
a win by okc will make it a best of 3 series ;D
di ba a win will make it 2-2? ;D
this one i agree
westbrook is good when he is good
rose even on a bad day still does things for his team, while he is the superstar of the team, he is not a ball hog and gets team mate involved properly
si westbrook papasa lang pag alanganin na sya and yung outside shooting pag swerte lang sya.
Si Westbrook naman reminds me so much of Steve Francis during his prime...
Miller Time is overrated?? WHAT?? I would dare say underrated, in fact...he deserves to be a Hall of Famer...If I had a basketball team of my own, I would love to have him on my team...
oh yes, miller is my starting SG on my own NBA-All Time team!
PG - J Kidd / SF - D Schrempf / PF - C Webber / C - Rik Smits
Si Westbrook naman reminds me so much of Steve Francis during his prime...
Webber? really? I'd pick Malone/Barkley over Webber.
hindi ko ata naisip yun ah? now thats an analysis ;D
Well, I don't buy into that. A win is the biggest morale booster your team can have. You bypass desperation and doubt with a victory. It makes you feel confident, even if the next game is on the road. A young team like OKC, in the grandest stage of the NBA, going down 0-2 is a whole different kind of pressure. It's harder to convince yourself you can win against an opponent that has yet to lose IMHO.
sana next year the Knicks will be better and offer some challenge to Miami and once again rekindle their late 90's rivalry.
sabi na nga ba, closet NY Knicks fan ka eh. ::) ;D :D
The best HEAT line-up is still the Hardaway-Majerle-Mason-PJBrown-Mourning line-up...WHY? They have the passion and the complement each other...Only Zo was a certified superstar then...
+1
but they always fell short in the postseason. :P
wala ata naglagay ng jordan sa ultimate five nila ;D
Well, the Knicks then has a better line-up...
can't really say that..
i think it all boiled down to the breaks of the game. Miami (IMHO) had the better roster and i actually considered the NY Knicks as the underdogs. most of the time sila ang lower seeded team against the Heat, right?
the late 90's Knicks really played well against Zo's Heat. ;D
Webber? really? I'd pick Malone/Barkley over Webber.
wala ata naglagay ng jordan sa ultimate five nila ;Dmasyadong magaling si MJ eh, kelangan mga role players lang hehe.
It was the same for the era of the Lakers and the Kings (Kobe-Shaq-Fox-Harper-Grant vs. Williams, Webber, Divac, etc.)
Lakers vs. Kings 2002 WCF.. classic! ;D
haha ok lang kahit choker si c-webb, anjan naman pwede pasahan si reggie and detlef eh :)
sabi na nga ba, closet NY Knicks fan ka eh. ::) ;D :D
ano na nangyari dito? retired na ba?
That slam dunk competition between Francis, TMac and Vince was one of the best slam dunk comp ever!!!
sino kaya pinagdadasal ni kobe magchampion?
ahhh Webber, tingin ko ito ang dapat na tinatawag na choker talaga, from his Michigan days to his NBA years, kaya laging na trade, when the game is on the line, Webber just vanishes everytime.
Since we are in the topic of "Your Ultimate First Five", just wanted to share mine:
PG - Magic Johnson
SG - Kobe Bryant
SF - Reggie Miller
PF - James Worthy
C - Hakeen Olajuwon
Coach - Phil Jackson (Triangle Offense)
Team Owner/Manager - Red Auerbach
My choice/s may not be popular...but I do not only consider talent, I also consider the "heart" and most of all, work ethics - which James Worthy and Hakeem has...and I strongly feel that these 5 superstars will fir the triangle offense system of the Zen Master.
C - Hakeem
PF - Duncan
SF - Bird
SG - MJ
PG - Magic
I think you forgot about MJ and Bird.That's why this is "my" ultimate 1st five. I chose Kobe over MJ, and Miller over Bird
In Heat ang OKC, up 10 !!! waaaaa
ano na po score? thanks
end of 3Q score
MIA 79
OKC 75
Wow! Refs' calls are certainly one-sided. If you're going to call them bad, at least be consistent. ;D
Harden's confidence has been shot the last 3 games already.
LBJ don't be injured!!! :-\
nangangamoy 3-1 na
I think this will be over on Friday. MVP curse about to end. Too bad for OKC.
nangangamoy 3-1 na
nangangamoy 3-1 na
where's the negativity? I'm waiting.
miami won this one because they scored 6 points more than OKC ;D
where's the negativity? I'm waiting.
Crucial game...so Lebron wanted to stay on the bench. ;D
for OKC they have to take this one game at a time
no its the other way around, OKC score 6 points less, ikaw talag boss anya magagalit sa atin si dpog nyan ;D ;D ;D ;D
the series ain't over till you reach four.
Agree, its not over. One game at a time. Yun game 5 muna. ;)
the series ain't over till you reach four.
the series ain't over till you reach four.
Crucial game...so Lebron wanted to stay on the bench. ;D
yun lang hahaha! ;D
i dont want to be blamed, its a close game ;D ;D
Si Harden ang missing link dito, mukhang napunta sa kanya yung daga ni LBJ. Durant is also superbly defended.
No team has recovered from a 1-3 deficit under a 2-3-2 format. Miami wins this. Unless they want to be associated in the greatest choke job in NBA history...ever! ;D
there is always a first time hehehehe
AYOS! This means the finals will be won by OKC in 7 games. ;D ;D ;D
reminds me of someone sa nba, nainjured bumalik pa tapos nanalo sila (sino ba yun?)
Willis Reed of New York Knicks
I saw 3 crucial instances where the game could have favored OKC.
1. Harden's missed lay up coming off a steal.
2. Fisher's blocked lay up.
3. Westbrook dribbling off his leg for a TO.
Willis Reed of New York Knicks
What OKC is facing here is an underrated defensive team. I think people forget that Miami's defense is second to none in this series.
hindi mananalo ang OKC if they can't shoot more than 100 pts in a game. In game 1 they scored 105 and they won, remember? OKC beat the Spurs because they shot high.
And one more thing -- they shouldn't put Durant on Lebron anymore in this series. Result? Durant 5 fouls. Durant can't guard Lebron. Nobody can guard Lebron from OKC. So let Durant preserve himself for a better offensive game. He was shooting bricks in the crucial moments of Game 3. Assign someone else to Lebron. Maybe Sefolosha will do a better job.
I see OKC coming back strong for Game 4. Scott Brooks is such a brilliant coach and I'm sure he will make adjustments. Interesting to see who he puts on LBJ.
But I'm gonna go with Miami for Game 4. Momentum is on their side. They will play in a different level next game and take that commanding 3-1 lead.
close game ng choke si westbrook sa last minute. crucial foul and turnover.. well., its over sa game 5. GIVE THE KING HIS RING! ;D ;D ;D
Haters, watch at your own risk...
Lebron's Magic Johnson pass to Wade for the lead -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmtgKgjI8e8&feature=relmfu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmtgKgjI8e8&feature=relmfu)
eto pa,
Lebron's three while suffering from cramps, for the lead again -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Liww2TUas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Liww2TUas)
Let's all accept the inevitable. King James will have his ring. Either you hate him or you hate him more ;)
im still not counting... still praying... hindi pa napipisa ang itlog kaya huwag munang magsabong...
Go go go HEAT!
Yes sir.
Ang tanong eh, sa biyernes, will OKC be called THUNDER or JOKE-LAHOMA?
^ BAK-Lahoma
Flop ng flop si Harden gusto ata ng lalaki pumatong sa kanya. :-X
*joke lang po.
Flop ng flop si Harden gusto ata ng lalaki pumatong sa kanya. :-X

Best player of the game for Miami? My main man Juwan Howard ;D
E sya ang nagbuhat kay Lebron at minasahe pa nya. Galing ni Howard! May silbi pa..

lol at this pic! :D(http://sports.cbsimg.net/images/visual/whatshot/61812_James.jpg)
AWKWARD!
hmmmmm... choke-lahoma sir malamang lamang...
where's the negativity? I'm waiting.
I just dont like westbrook.. bakaw kasi! ;D
i watched the last 5 mins. of game 4 at Vikings MOA, i had to treat some business associates for lunch.
lahat sila Miami Heat, i was forced to pretend that im rooting for the Heat too. ;D
business muna bago team loyalty. :D
ha ha ha... alam na kung saan pumusta...
err i said business associates, hindi friends or barkada. ;)
and a ''pustahan'' is not a ''business transaction'' in my book. :)
yup... i know... i just say na 'alam na kung saan ka pumusta'...
really? how sure are you? :)
ha ha ha... just say it na sa OKC ka pumusta... huwag nang pa secret secret pa...
pero ang totoo rooting for miami to win...
Booooooooooooooooooooooom!!!
this Finals series will be known as the time when Harden became a flopper and a choker. OKC fans fear the beard coz the beard is choking Harden.
Or Cleveland versus Spurs in 2006 ba?
+100 to mattia's post
while i was watching kanina on that big @ss screen sa Viking MOA, napansin ko din na kabado si Durant
sabi ko din kay leomarley kanina after the game was over.. ''jumpshot ng jumpshot eh!'' >:(
you could see it in his facial expression.
i watched the game with only 5mins. remaining. tama ba yung nabasa ko in the previous pages that OKC had another double digit lead in the 1st but quickly disappeared?
+100
hate on me for saying this, but i got this feeling na parang nagpapapogi lang si Westbrook sa Finals.
kinda thinking.. ''uy, my team is in the Finals. this is my opportunity to shine''
Westbrick wants to shine? facilitate damn it. give your teammates scoring opportunities and create offense for them.
you could see it in his facial expression.
i watched the game with only 5mins. remaining. tama ba yung nabasa ko in the previous pages that OKC had another double digit lead in the 1st but quickly disappeared?
OKC started like Thunder (pardon the pun) and led by 17 POINTS in the first quarter. That was the best basketball I've seen by OKC. Hayup!
But mahina din pala mag protect ng lead talaga ang OKC. Or magaling lang talaga ang Heat.
yup, bakaw siya talaga.. walang ast ng 2nd half yata.. panay 1-on-1 un score nun 2nd half.
yup, lamang ng 17 pts end ng 1Q. hinabol ng heat, half time 3 na lang ang lamang. by 8 min mark ng 3Q, malamang na heat.
Choke-lahoma.
Well, it's understandable. First time in the Finals. Inexperience. It happens. Last year, parang ganyan din yata ang Miami vs Dallas. Or Cleveland versus Spurs in 2006 ba?
championship teams know how to protect a big lead or rally from a big deficit
someone please trade Westbrick to the Charlotte Bobcats
I agree. plus sa tingin ko, hindi alam ni wesbrook ang role niya. gusto niya siya un Main man instead of the facilitator.. kya nawawala ang ikot ng bola ng OKC, nagiging 1 vs. 5 or minsan kapag pinasa niya un bola kay durant 2 vs. 5 na malabong makatalo sa HEAT! ;)
Sidelights :
Ibaka calls Lebron, "not a good defender".
Bron replies, "He's stupid."
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1227788-lebron-answers-ibakas-barbs-hes-stupid (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1227788-lebron-answers-ibakas-barbs-hes-stupid)
trade si westbrook for CP3!!! pwde din si Irving! bata 20-10 point guard, hindi parang westbrook na 40-5 tapos talo
Hehe gaganda talaga ng posts dito, talo pa mga NBA commentators sa amusement value.
Mukhang sa Heat na nga ito, they really showed their determination and hunger to winning the past games. Lebron is proving to be the King finally.
If OKC loses, this will be good for their experience. They do need to mature more. They should also get more experienced players... kung pwde pa si Jawo magandang kunin yan tapos balyahin at ma-injure nya si Lebron eh di laking tulong nun for OKC :D
and si MWP nagpatama kay Harden ''NO BRAIN, ALL BEARD'' after that foul on Lebron in the last few seconds of game 3
with Miami leading 3 games to 1, may pag asa pa ba ang OKC sa series na ito? ;D
im seriously wishing... damn it OKC, win 3 straight games!
as much as i want Lebron to win his first ring, parang mas nakakatuwa makita si Durant and co. (considering how young they are and how their team was built thru the draft) to win it all.
with Harden and Ibaka being free agents in the near future, i have this little ''takot'' that OKC might not get another chance in the next few years IF they fail to retain their current core of players.
I am not really sure what Scott Brooks was thinking when he made Westbrook his main man for Game 5. He thought Westbrook will beat Miami all by himself? Scott Brooks, read my lips -- you ain't winning with Westbrook. Gotta make Durant your main man and draw plays for all the other guys in the floor. It's a team game coach. C'mon, you can do better than that?
Lebron is proving to be the King finally.
walang imposible sir baka sakali, si bradley nga tinalo si manny eh ;D ;D ;D
kung sakali lang na manalo ang OKC ng 3 straight games
ano kaya ang criticism and backlash na matatanggap ni Lebron and the Heat? :D
kung sakali lang na manalo ang OKC ng 3 straight games
ano kaya ang criticism and backlash na matatanggap ni Lebron and the Heat? :D
break the big three, trade spo hahahaha
lbj will be devastated and scarred throughout his career pag nangyari yan. kaya he needs to do everything in his power to take home tha kangkong, i mean the bacon ;D
kanina nung nanalo na ang Miami, sabi ko sa sarili ko.. ''%#!@ lagot kaming mga haters kay dpogs'' :D :D
Buti mahina ako sa tagalog. ;D Buti I don't know what kangkungan means ;D
papayag kaya ang Clippers on a RW - CP3 trade? ;Dmalabo mangyari..
malabo mangyari..
actually its ok to take 25-30 shots, as long you are hitting half of those attempts.. mahirap kasi kay RW, parang he's on 100KPH speed then biglang titira, di na nakahawak yung ibang teammates, then when his teammate naman made an error, kitang kita sa mukha nya yung sisi.. :)
kung sakali lang na manalo ang OKC ng 3 straight games
ano kaya ang criticism and backlash na matatanggap ni Lebron and the Heat? :D
ang prediction ko, kung matalo ang OKC sa Game 5, wala na pag-asa ;D
I have never been so wrong about this, OKC was just playing great in the san antonio series. Everyone was contributing and very well balanced sa scoring. Pero nawala lahat in this series. Miami on the other hand has raised their energy level. One last chance for OKC, pag bumalik sa oklahoma, malaki pa chance.
meron n bang player na binansagang lebron stopper??? :)
Yeah, Lebron The Choker
LOL That's a good one. With the type of limited defense in effect now, there's no way that players can actually "stop" anyone.
LOL That's a good one. With the type of limited defense in effect now, there's no way that players can actually "stop" anyone.
I think you have to break not one but Lebron's two legs to stop this guy. Man, he can even hit a clutch three with one healthy leg.
Yeah, Lebron The Choker
a fluke? he shot another three and missed really bad
Nasa East kse ang magagaling na defensive teams like Miami, Boston, Bulls, Indiana and Philly. Ang OKC parang walang nadaanang magaling sa defense kaya nakalusot sila sa finals. Now na natapatan nila ang Heat whos is also blessed with a great offensive players, ayun... dehado na.+1
I wish for Heat to close out the finals tomorrow sa court nila for the ultimate sweetest victory!
For OKC, dapat i trade na nila si westbrook.
and...KD on Chalmers :)
I have a feeling that OKC will win game 5. I am 50% sure. ;D
If I were OKC, since it's a do-or-die game already, I'd put KD on LBJ right away. It's pretty clear that Tabo and Harden doesn't have the size and even the speed to bother James. I know it's a gamble coz you risk tiring out Durant and, worse, getting him into early foul trouble...but you gotta do something at this point.
I'm 100% sure okc will win game 5 haha.. ;D I don't think Durant should guard Lebron. Lebron will score his points, so to me okc have to stop the other guys. Okc imo is a scoring machine, they have to drive to the basket more. Get the Miami guys into foul trouble. I don't know why Westbrook gets all the rant, when Magic and Barkley praises this guy. Okc won't be in the finals without him. Baka kasi sa mukha niya lang ang bwisit ng tao. ::)
Actually Okc is playing good imo. Like Coach Spo say it comes down to 4 to 5 plays. Puro close ang laban. It's just the rest of the Miami players (esp Battier) making their shots at the right series. :D
Maybe it will turn around na in the next 3 games. ;D
Go Okc!!!
TMZ has obtained the mug shot taken of Dwyane Wade's ex-wife ... moments after she was arrested this weekend for allegedly attempting to abduct the former couple's two children.
A rep for the Cook County Sheriff's Office released a statement saying, "Siohvaughn Funches-Wade was charged with two counts of attempted child abduction, two counts of unlawful visitation interference and one count of resisting arrest."
LOL That's a good one. With the type of limited defense in effect now, there's no way that players can actually "stop" anyone.
That is why the greats can still play in today's game.... MJ, Magic, Bird, Sir Charles, Isiah, Hakeem, etc.
Imagine the defense before of no blood, no foul! Wade, Lebron, Kobe and Durant would have a hard time averaging in the mid to high 20's.
And so did Michael Jordan in his career. "I missed so many game winners ... I failed and failed and failed. That's why I succeed." Jordan in a Nike Commercial
Lebron made the more crucial basket ( to break a tie ). With one good leg. If he made the next one again, he wouldn't be Lebron anymore. He would be God Almighty. Amen.
oh no! :o an MJ vs LBJ. MJ missed so many game winners because he had the guts to take a whole lot of them. and everytime jordan failed, he'd come back stronger and more determined. that's how he succeeded.
I think you have to break not one but Lebron's two legs to stop this guy. Man, he can even hit a clutch three with one healthy leg.
I remember MJ's flu game. He was about ready to pass out. But still put his stamp in the game. Not knocking on Lebron, but I don't think MJ will let a cramp stop him from finishing the game and leaving his imprint. ;D
On Tuesday night, James had his “Jordan flu” moment. After being carried from the court because of painful leg cramps in the fourth quarter, he returned and hit the 3-pointer that put the Heat ahead for good.
if you've had that kind of cramp then you'll know how painful it is. i've had that kind of cramp before and it's no joke. even Barkley defended Lebron in that sequence. he's played through sprains before and if he called the bench to tell them to pull him out of the game it means that it is that painful. him playing through that he will just be a liability to the team.
is it a crucial championship game with both teams neck-to-neck?
Exactly my point.
MJ was sick but wasn't immobile. he was not a liability at that time. LBJ lost his mobility and in defending OKC do you think he's not going to be a liability? i think kung delikado lagay ng Miami nun he'll surely come back in the game on the offensive side but he wasn't needed anymore as they were leading.
think about it sir.
MJ had a running fever bad enough that it was hard enough to stand on his own two feet let alone play basketball. A cramp will rob you of some mobility but not enough to be a total liability. You can contribute in some other way.
Going back, I'm not putting it against Lebron. If he feels he would be a liability, then he should sit. But legendary players have done it. And it was much more severe than cramps. Bird with bone spurs on both feet. Isiah Thomas on a severely sprained foot. And like I said MJ.
Are you a doctor? Ortho?
Because I will believe you if you are.
may cramp man o wala crucial shot pa din yung ginawa niya.
Why you need to be a doctor or an Ortho to post an opinion? I wasn't actually trying to convince you to believe me.
Good! Because here's what Dr. Bryson Lesniak has to say about LBJ's cramps:
"Make no mistake about it, though, James was in severe pain as he was forced to leave a close game against the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, said Dr. Bryson Lesniak, an orthopaedic surgeon at UHealth Sports Medicine.
The level of pain from such muscle spasms, Lesniak said, “can be anything from a very minor nuisance ... to something severely painful and debilitating, to the point that it looked like he [James] was going through last night: you can’t stand; you can’t walk. You can’t walk on that muscle without stretching it out and having severe pain.’’

Didn't he get back in the game after initially experiencing the cramp?
pati ba naman cramps naging controversial pa? :D
the fact is the team im rooting for is in deep (bleep)
sana maka isa naman ang OKC sa AAA in Miami. :)
Miami will once again be in the elite few to sweep 3 straight home games in a 2-3-2 Finals format. ;D
Yes. Same way as Jordan, Willis Reed, Bird and other legends have willed themselves to play despite pain and injury.
But he couldn't will himself to finish the game.
kailangan na ba namin mag repent? ;D :D
still not putting LBJ down? ;D
nah. i'll just post a picture of DWade holding an NBA Finals trophy to piss you off hahaha ;D
*%$#@ ;D ;D ;D
Lebron is a great player. But Mj is the greatest imo. I wonder how Lebron will do against the 89 detroit pistons bad boys with Dumars, Laimbeer, Salley and Rodman.
Baka umiyak si Lebron sa sakit ng mga elbows and hip hittings. ;D
I Like It! ;D ;D ;D

Sabi ni Mamba, "three of my favorite players in the NBA are in OKC.."
So si KD, Westbrook & .... Fisher? haha. Remember, he had some thrash talking with Harden.
''We get it Lebron, it doesn’t hurt when you’re running around but it looks unbearable when the cameras are close up during the timeouts,” wrote Nick Bonino, former BU player and current Anaheim Duck.
''Oh my god guys, Lebron has a cramp, everyone get on their feet, standing O for somehow staying in the game,” wrote Scott Valentine of the Milwaukee Admirals, the AHL affiliate of the Nashville Predators, before sarcastically adding, ''If Lebron somehow manages to pull off winning a ring after fighting through a thigh cramp.. it will be a story I tell my children’s children.''
''So much flopping going on.. Wondering what these bball players would do if they got a skate in the face haha,'' wrote Hall, who himself received a cut on his face that required 30 stitches this season.
''Lebron James is embarrassing himself and the NBA or actually all athletes,'' tweeted Ryan Potulny, a forward in the Washington Capitals system.
''I wonder what kind of face LeBron would make if he took a slapper off the laces?'' wondered former Bruin and current Jet Blake Wheeler.
''What a gutsy performance by lebron #not'' wrote Dallas Stars defenseman Alex Goligoski.
Funny how Lebron fans are trying to stick it to haters now that they're on the verge of a championship. It's like they're needing of attention or a motherly hug. They sorta echo the way Lebron's been acting all these years. So the drama. "Crying" indeeed. Hah! What? You think haters don't have enough ammo if and when they win? "LBJ didn't win a thing until he formed a team with Wade and Bosh" :D

Very Nice! ;D
Some Haters here are trying so hard not to show their true feelings toward LBJ.
Puro criticisms pag nag post pero sa mga dabarkads nila siguro panay ang papuri kay Choker (daw) and secretly rooting for Miami Heat to win. ;D
@ 5sig3n, you think Knicks need Nash? they have Shumpert right?
it would be nice to see Nash in New York if the Knicks also re-signs JLin. matuturuan ni Nash si JLin ng mga pinpoint pick-and-roll passes. as much as i want Nash to be in Miami, mas kailangan ng Heat ng center so i'll root for the Heat to get Camby for some muscle inside the paint.
oo nga kailangan nga nila ng center para hind mahirapan sa rotation si Coach Eric.
ang bali-balita daw si Oden and Nash gusto sa Miami maglaro e.sa tingin niyo pede pba si Oden?
at this point in time..
the Knicks (with their very awful decisions in the recent past), need all the help they could get. imagine Nash running the offense, he would surely pick n' roll with his buddy Amare. magwawala si Melo pag nangyari yan! ;D
even George Karl (Melo's former coach) said he will never win a championship if he won't reinvent his game.
as for Shump, i think he's out until the middle of next season.
Sounds like a eulogy since a Miami title seems inevitable. But an OKC win today would really be great for this series and basketball fans in general.
What about an OKC world championship in 7 games? ;D
Meron na bang team nakagawa nun? Winning game 7 from a 1-3 deficit?
So si KD ang mauuna ;D?

Nga pala, naglabas na ba ng advisory ang PAGASA kung bukas mangyayari 'yung sinasabing Matinding Pagbaha ng Luha mula sa mga ayaw manalo ang Heat ;D
Busy mga tao bukas, mukhang madami mag pepetiks sa work ;D
Let's Go Heat!
Lbj will get more rings than Kobe....
Awatin nyo na Miami Heat please ::) May isang quarter pa ba?
LET'S WAIT FOR MY IDOL JUWAN HOWARD!! SANA IPASOK. GO JUWAN ;D ;D

War Miami!!! This is a coronation!
Haters crying all over the world!
Let's Go Heat!
Congrats to Miami Heat. Lebron and Coach Spo. You deserved it!
LBJ can get more rings than Jordan!
congrats sa miami, and to coach spo (first nba coach with pinoy blood to win an nba championship) ;D
Sayang hindi pa triple-double si James. :(sir triple double na.
Up for anya618. You are the true NBA fan. Sana tularan ka ng iba!
O yung iba naman, concede na rin. Gayahin nyo si anya618. ;D
See you next year, guys. It's been a fun ride...
Teka may game seven pa yan! Hahaha!next year ata yun. ;D ;D ;D
Take it down a notch. That's the first championship talking. Check Kobe's rings before skipping to MJ.
Sayang hindi pa triple-double si James. :(
Sana next season Miami OKC uli!
Hahaha!! Sorry boss na carried away. Sensya na.
I take it back. I will not compare LBJ to Kobe nor Jordan.
LBJ will have more rings than ROBERT HORRY ;D
Ayos na ba yun?
Hahaha!! Sorry boss na carried away. Sensya na.

Ayan si Howard... ;D
si howard ba oldest sa miami?
I feel bad for durant. You can really see the passion in his face as he walks to the locker room and hugs his parents.

Si nash ba ilang taon na?
i think second oldest siya in the league next to kurt thomas. he is definitely older than fisher
*correction third pala next to grant hill. men tanda na ni idol grant
I feel bad for durant. You can really see the passion in his face as he walks to the locker room and hugs his parents.
Durant should not be ashamed of this, dapat yata mahiya si Westbrook eh, sayang talaga Durant perhaps is the only superstar na walang kayabang yabang sa katawan, di nag react sa laro kahit mganda ang ginawa, sana makabawi sya next year
per sa current roster ng miami si howard ang oldest?
Nah. Don't feel bad for KD. Like LBJ, he has to go through these frustrations in order to develop into a more mature player. It will be that much sweeter when it's his time to hoist the trophy. And OKC is a young team. I just hope they don't break the team up.
yep. pwede na siya magpahinga
Si nash ba ilang taon na?
you still want westbrook there? ;D
There's really no way to shut people up than by being a winner. Yes, I hope Lebron and co. is still hungry coz it would be a pity if they settle for the now.
Congratulations to the Miami Heat!
This intellectual greeting above does not mean the poster is joining the bandwagon, nevertheless, congratulations are still in order...
The season is over...looking forward to next season...
Game Over!OT I heard panalo rin daw si pacquiao after the review. ;D
Haters and Nonbelievers, TIME TO EAT SOME CROWS.
Miami Heat is the 2011-12 NBA Champions!
King James is ring-less no more, so is Bosh!
Coach Spo, I always knew you can pull it off. Natalo man si Jessica Sanchez at Manny Pacquiao at least mayroon pa din isang may dugong Pinoy ang nag excel ngayong taon. ;)
Pardon me, but I have to sing this..."We are the champions my friend, and we'll keep on fighting till the end"... ;D
Teka ang daya naman ng Miami. Usapan up to now laging LBJ, Wade at Bosh. Bakit biglang may Miller? Eh kung wala yung Miller na yon, panalo dapat OKC ;D ;D ;D
Next season....heat lakers....nman....malabo ito. di makakalampas lakers sa OKC.
Next season....heat lakers....nman....
ahhh.... i like that... LBJ vs KB.... kaya lang natatakot ako para sa Lakers... baka masweep lang ng Miami sa Finals...agree. ;D ;D ;D. tapus na run ng lakers. and KB is ageing na.
Congratz to MIAMI and of course to LBJ of winning this NBA season.Uuuyyyy. ang dami kagad question sa heat. tsk..tsk..tsk..Let them enjoy first!
WEll, the Heat truly deserve this one. It's time for them to celebrate. Wade, Bosh and LBJ can now sing and dance and do their antics in national television.
The next questions will be,
HOW MANY MORE RINGS WILL THEY WIN AFTER THIS ONE? (they predicted 7 so 6 more to go)
CAN THE HEAT MAKE ATLEAST 7 CONSECUTIVE FINALS APPEARANCES?
ARE THEY CAPABLE OF WINNING ATLEAST BACK TO BACK THEN A THREEPEAT LIKE THE BULLS AND LAKERS?

I can't speak for the rest, but for me, I expect MIA to win. Every time. I believe they can win not one, not two, not three, etc. But I didn't like the fact that they joined forces. I didn't like the fact that LBJ left Cleveland the way he did. I didn't like the fact they celebrated like they already won. I didn't like the antics, the MIA-against-the-world thing.
Superstars, championship teams exceed expectations. LBJ, Wade, the Heat, they can't do that anymore.
I agree on the above highlighted sentences, boss. Sa tingin ko naman malaki na pinagbago ni LBJ at DWade in terms of kayabangan. Si bosh na lang medyo exaggerated pag may nagagawa maganda parang si "Ultimate Warrior" ang reaction. Pero I heard Charles Barkley saying na dapat daw may halong arrogance pag naglalaro, parang confidence booster kung baga. Kahit sa mga interviews nila parang they're extra careful na sa pagsagot.
BTW, sorry for the things I've said before, if you can remember, I was too emotional and I learned my lesson.
Peace, Boss! Cheers!
LOL If that's the type of fans the Heat has...well..all I can say is at least Lebron has allegedly matured, can't say about some of the fans, though.

Cry? Come back when we give a fcuk. Hehehe
Asan na iyong mga mala sports analyst ang dating... asan na iyong mga mahihilig magbigay ng mga statistics hmmm.... di na ata nakaalis sa pagkakalugmok sa kangkungan... nya ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
i really want to know how Heat defeats OKC... nya ha ha ha... all i know is nang matapos ang 4th quarter.... lamang (tambak - as in literal na lumamon ng alikabok ang kalaban) ang score ng Miami kaya sila ang nanalo...
Ok na...
Baka pwedeng Season 2013 na pag-usapan.
Baka pwedeng i-lock na tong thread kasi tapos na 2012 season... ;D ;D ;D
Did anyone saw the 2 Jordanesque move of LBJ? Hayup! Ang Lupit noong mga tira na 'yun :o
Tabi-tabi po sa mga fans ni His Airness, nakigamit lang po ng pangalan ;D
not yet. let us bask in Miami's victory for at least another day ;D
Congrats, Heat!
Nakakaloka sa twitter

Well, that is sorta unfair to ask how many championships the Heat can win with this group. They've just won their first, so, let's cut them some slack. Even Riley's not predicting a repeat like he did in 87 when he was with the LAkers.

I think 1 championship is enough already. Lebron now is a bonafide champ and a king. Let's give him that.
Another championship bonus na lang yun.
Pero magandang idea nga yun what if he comes back to cleveland and win one for them. That would be the sweetest of all!
ako andito pa sir dpog pero di na ako maka analyze eh, masakit kase kumain ng alikabok, nangati lalamunan ko at na puwing pa,
natalo ang OKC kase si miller nag paulan ng three points si westbrook naman nag paulan ng kangkong, puro butata ang tira ;D

Kelangan pa ata ng kaunting experience.
I dont know...Nash, Melo, and Amare? looks good on offense, who will defend?
As I said, he really looks like Magic to me.
4 of the top five players taken in the 2003 NBA Draft have a ring
Lebron
Darko
Bosh
Wade
the only guy without one... Carmelo :D
san team nakakuha si darko ng ring?
lets wait and see next season (if complete), kaya ba mag-champion ng heat? ::) ::) ::)
hate aside, they probably will.. why?
- Celtics might break up their Big 3
- Bulls without Rose for most of next season
- Knicks would probably still suck and not live up to their potential as a contender
- Lakers not expected to overhaul their roster (Jim Buss already said no major trades before next season)
- OKC? i don't know. Scott Brooks has some contract issues with ownership and management
it's too early to tell which team can seriously challenge the Heat and dethrone them
as for Miami, after this championship.. are they still hungry for another one?
Miami better still be hungry next season. I'm also rooting for the Knicks to get better to revive the Heat-Knicks rivalry of the late 90's. I'll root for the Knicks too next season.

how about steve nash going to OKC nad phil kackson coaching them?
yeah i read about that Phil Jackson to OKC thing a few days ago, thanks for bringing that up! :)
Steve Nash or Jason Kidd is :)! at least controlled na ang touches ni Westbrick (if he doesn't get traded)
and with this loss, Ibaka and Harden probably can't ask for more $$$ in their next contracts. ;D
Harden perhaps is the biggest dissapointment in this series, i can understand that a player goes on a slump on offense pero sa defense walang malas eh meron lang tamad, all players of Miami having a field day, paano ba bumantay si harden sa binabantayan nya? si Perkins nawala din bigla, di ko maintindihan bakit di nakapag capitalized ang OKC sa middle eh wala ngang legit center na ginagamit ang Miami.
Mukhang malaking issue ang coaching this whole time for OKC
shooo! stay away from my Knicks! >:(
remember how you turned me down earlier? :( ;D :D
I'll only root for them for Miami to have a rival in the east :D
we can have a rivalry IF..
you give us Lebron in exchange for Melo + that Gatorade cooler on the Knicks' bench. ;D :D
what if i'll just give you "the bird" (flips the middle finger) and keep your "star" for yourself ;D
Bakit bukas pa itong thread haha.. ;D Joke.
Congrats sa Heat. Hay sana Spurs nalang nag laban, maybe they have a better chance. :D ;D
Great run Okc
Every team I rooted for lost this year. (Spurs, Okc, Boston) >:(. Baka next year jackpot na ako. ;D
sir raymund if thats the case you have to root for Miami next season hehehehe
Brooks came under fire in this series because of his substitution patterns.
that's clear as daylight Finals inexperience.
Miami was clearly the hungrier team. OKC, parang satisfied na lang na umabot sila ng Finals.
Jinx the Heat! ;D
;D I looovvve Miami :D ;D
;D I looovvve Miami :D ;D
im not a coach but played competetive basketball when I was younger pero di ko talaga maintindihan, your point guard throwing bricks all around, making erractic passes and not distributing the ball well yet to keep him on the floor
yung mga talunan sipag mag post yung mga nanalo, nag eenjoy lang at malamang na eenjoy na sa gimikan ;D ;D
si leomarley nasa bahay lang daw siya, gusto daw niya ulit-ulitin yung game 7.
tama yan leo! hindi na mauulit yan next year. ;D :D :P
Bookmarked! Hahaha!
there you go sir raymund ;D ;D ;D
yung mga talunan sipag mag post yung mga nanalo, nag eenjoy lang at malamang na eenjoy na sa gimikan ;D ;D
the Lakers could probably make it back to the NBA Finals if they can get their act together.
I'm looking at Clips to go deeper in playoffs next year, hope they can get a decent scorer like Gordon, or maybe Ray Allen.. :)

i think they're also considering Jamal Crawford.
some players who are rumored to have an interest in playing for the Heat even before the NBA Finals started
Kevin Garnett
Ray Allen
Steve Nash
Jason Kidd
and as someone mentioned in the previous pages, Greg Oden. :-\
KG? really?
I'm looking at Clips to go deeper in playoffs next year, hope they can get a decent scorer like Gordon, or maybe Ray Allen.. :)

don't they have chris paul? he could be a great scoring point guard. and hopefully hindi siya maglaho like other budding superstars who transferred teams

The rest of his teammates are inconsistent..
I heard KG is retiring this year
i hope eastern teams get to be stronger para di na makarating sa finals miami hahahaha
As long as Bulls D is intact Noah-Gibson-deng-Rose, sila ang threat for Miami.. and sila lang yata talaga.. although malamang maraming mangyari this offseason.. dadami na ang teams na may big 3.. :D
last year talo ang miami bugbog sa kantyaw si dpogs pero sipag nya pa din mag post
pero ngayon wala, ganun yata talaga pag nanalo hahahaha
ha ha ha... i have a heart for KD... especially nang umiyak siya sa balikat ng kanyang mga magulang... di ko magawang kantiyawan ang team maliban siyempre kay buwakang westbrook at kay 'only beard no brain'.
saka masyadong kinawawa ang OKC... tama na iyong makita natin na sobrang mismatch ang laban... :)
saka karamihan naman naman sa mga haters tumalon na sa kangkungan (tinanggap na ang pagkapanalo ng Heat).
I am watching the replay of Game 5.. God, Westbrook is a real crocodile! He's taking unwise shots pa ha?!
OKC has to decide on his fate. I don't think they can maximize Durant's potential with Westbrook taking away possessions from him. Jordan & Pippen never had this problem, so did Shaq & Kobe.
hmmm... westbrook for chris paul? ;D
They could make a trade with Indiana. Send westbrook and perkins in exchange for 2 indy players. George/granger and david west could work.wag! lugi kami. Kay jamaal tinsley na lang. hehe.

^ cool pic! we should not consider kobe's 1st 3 championships as he is not the main man for the team when they won those titles.
With that reasoning, we should strip Wade of his first as he wasn't the main man with Miami in 2006?
Wasn't Wade the finals MVP in 2006?
But was he really "the man" on Miami? Conventional thinking of this issue would point out it was Shaq and not Wade.
No, it doesn't. That just opens the floodgates to more BS reasoning that Wade didn't win without Shaq back then, Kobe didn't win without Shaq, players didn't win without PAt Riley, Phil Jackson etc. That's why when someone suggests someone didn't win without this certain player, sarcasm is the best answer coz more often that not, these fans cannot comprehend "team" sports and focus only on individuals.
But was he really "the man" on Miami? Conventional thinking of this issue would point out it was Shaq and not Wade.
i beg to differ. miami is wade's team. when shaq came in he was old, tired, out of shape and uninspired. he looked like a guy who wanted to ride the young gun's (wade) coat tails for another title. much like what he was looking for when he joined steve nash in phoenix, lebron james in cleveland and the big three of boston. he was hoping to get more rings than kobe.
heck, alonzo mourning showed more grit and determination throughout the 2006 NBA playoffs
Yes, he stood out the most, hence the award. But were talking about being the man here, not just of a series, but of his team as a whole. Wade stood out, but like Kobe before him, admittedly, Shaq was the man.
When he bolted LA, he went on a crazy workout to prove he wasn't the fat player her was turning out to be. I was even frustrated when LA traded him looking at the pics and videos of the Miami Shaq coz he looked like a beast.
this is fact.
he was so pissed at the Lakers and Kobe and he used this as motivation to lead Miami to that 2006 championship
along with Wade of course
i think shaq was looking for a contract extension
^ we should not consider kobe's 1st 3 championships as he is not the main man for the team when they won those titles.
so, should we also disregard Robert Horry's 7 championships?
Kobe and Shaq: Putting to Rest the Kobe Wouldn't Have Won Without Shaq Argument (http://voices.yahoo.com/kobe-shaq-putting-rest-kobe-wouldnt-have-7037184.html)
Larry Cooder, Yahoo! Contributor Network
Oct 24, 2010
You give Wade the same rosters Kobe has played with throughout his Los Angeles career, and I guarantee you the Heat win the same number of titles — if not more. If you look at their career numbers, Wade is a better all-around player than Bryant. Wade bests Bryant in field-goal percentage, assists, steals and blocks and is in a virtual tie with Bryant in points per game (25.4 to 25.3) and rebounds (5.3 to 5.2).
so, should we also disregard Robert Horry's 7 championships?
Houston Rockets (1994, 1995)
Los Angeles Lakers (2000, 2001, 2002)
San Antonio Spurs (2005, 2007)
because he wasn't the ''main man'' on those teams?
how about the other NBA players who also won championships but weren't the no.1 option?
Steve Kerr
Scottie Pippen
Bruce Bowen
Dennis Rodman
Derek Fisher
James Worthy
Kevin Mchale
Robert Parish
Bill Laimbeer
Joe Dumars
the list goes on and on..
maybe the NBA should enforce a new rule that ONLY the championship team's primary offensive option aka ''the main man'' can receive a championship ring. as for the other players on that team, they would only receive discount coupons from Best Buy and Mcdonalds.
Isn't that a bit of a stretch of an argument? ;D
Well then conversations should end with just one name.... Bill Russell. ;D
Well then conversations should end with just one name.... Bill Russell. ;D
Bill Russell and his freakin' 11 championship rings. :D
how does he wear/use his 11th championship ring? ;D
nandun sa number 11 yung isa. ika nga ni wooly booly: "that is the number eleven!" :D
i just don't buy into the ''he wasn't the main man on the team so he doesn't deserve to be credited with the championship'' thing. i always believe that Shaq couldn't have those 3 rings without Kobe and vice-versa. and they both couldn't have won those rings without the help of guys like Robert Horry, Derek Fisher, Rick Fox, etc.
NBA championships = total team effort. not just one or two guys
+10000000you can't win alone, ask iverson. ;D
Iverson only had Mutombo as a sidekick when he faced the 2001 Lakers
not that im degrading Mutombo as a player, he just didn't produce enough offense to support AI
who's more of a ballhog, Iverson or Russell Westbrick?
iverson learned how to move without the ball, going through screens to get a decent shot (parang rip hamilton). so he shot the ball more but it was inside the offesive set. si westbrick naman kasi baba sa opensa tapos tira na agad, wala nang ibang nakahawak ng bola.
Harden might be willing to take less money to stay in OKC...
James Harden Sees “Dynasty” Being Built in OKC
“This is something special here,” Harden said. “A dynasty is being built here. So we’re winning, we’re having fun and we’re brothers. The other stuff, you can’t buy it.”
http://blog.newsok.com/thunderrumblings/2012/06/23/james-harden-sees-dynasty-being-built-in-okc/
I find the Heat team and organization somewhat unlikable, but definitely not because of Lebron James. I wish he would have reached the pinnacle of his career in a Cavs uniform, but I'm certainly at peace with LBJ and his success.
There is no "I" in team....

deron williams torn between mavs and nets
http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/221660/Report_Deron_Williams_To_Choose_Between_Nets_Mavs
The choice for Deron Williams is clear ...... the MAVS for a better shot for a title ..... the NETS for max money & max years.
For the sake of league parity, he should remain with the NETS.
read an article, most probably Deron will stay with the Nets. ayaw daw ng wife niya sa Dallas, pag andun daw sila (since Deron is a Dallas native) wala na silang privacy since friends and relatives would often bug them.
Nash to Raptors rumors gaining momentum
why the Raptors?
because he's a Canadian? ;D
there's logic behind that. perhaps he wants to be closer to home at the twilight of his career :D
If Lin and Novak have their early-Bird rights, the Knicks could re-sign both players and save their midlevel exception (worth about $5 million) for another free agent. But if the Bird rights are lost, the Knicks would have to use the midlevel exception to keep Lin. They would very likely lose Novak, as well as any chance to lure a top-flight free agent, like Ray Allen or Steve Nash.
Bird rights, which are earned by spending two or more years with the same team, and allow a player to re-sign without respect to the salary cap. Those rights transfer with a player when he is traded. But in the league’s view, those rights are lost when a player is waived.
In the ruling issued Friday, the arbitrator Kenneth Dam, a professor of law at the University of Chicago, agreed with the union’s position: that players claimed on waivers should be treated the same as traded players and keep their Bird rights.
''Bird and early Bird rights are the linchpin of our soft-cap system, and we're pleased that Professor Dam recognized that a player does not forfeit these important rights unless he makes an affirmative decision to sign with a new team as a free agent,'' Billy Hunter, the union's executive director, said in a statement.
Steve Nash coming home to Canada would be a nice way to cap a magnificent career.
Though even with Nash, the RAPTORS will be hard-pressed to reach a playoff slot ..... at best (with a completely healthy Bargnani) they'll probably good for any of the last 2 playoff slots in the East.
Nash should sign with the KNICKS instead ..... he'll further improve a showcase franchise of the league. More importantly, the East storylines & match-ups will get a whole lot more interesting.
mas gusto ko yata sa OKC sir para makabawi agad sila, mukhang malaking bagay sa stability ang magagawa ni Nash sa OKC.
OKC does need some stability on PG ..... Nash will likely assure them of another Finals stint (at the very least a Western Finals slot).
However, OKC is unlikely to make any big transactions soon, since they're trying to free-up serious cash to retain both (soon expiring contracts) Harden & Ibaka within the upcoming season ..... not to mention retain coach Brooks as well.
But hey, GM Presti is one bright guy ..... he'll make sure OKC stays in the NBA elite class.
Bobcats Acquire Ben Gordon, Future First Round Pick From Pistons For Corey Maggette
http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/221751/Bobcats_Acquire_Gordon_Future_First_Round_Pick_For_Maggette
^I thought the trade was mutually beneficial.
The idea of taking on bad contracts to accumulate picks/assets is somewhat similar to what Sam Presti did with the Thunder in 2008. OKC/Seattle took on Kurt Thomas's undesirable contract to get draft picks from Phoenix. One of those picks turned into Serge Ibaka.
For the BOBCATS, the trade will only be beneficial if Gordon get's back to his old scoring ways .... which is doubtful since he didn't even standout on a bad team like the PISTONS.
For the BOBCATS, the trade will only be beneficial if Gordon get's back to his old scoring ways .... which is doubtful since he didn't even standout on a bad team like the PISTONS.
For Jordan's sake, I'm hoping that Gordon does get his form back ...... he was a scoring beast when he first played for the BULLS years ago.
As for stocking on future picks ..... IMHO, it's good as long as your current team satisfies the realistic expectations of your fanbase ...... something which the BOBCATS have miserably failed to do (heck, they got the worst-ever record last season).
Like I said, as long as their current team satisfies realistic expectations and some progress is seen year-after-year (OKC is as fine example as can be) ...... then stocking on picks will be sound strategy.
In this regard, the 'CATS has failed ..... e.g. they already got smallish PG in Agustin, yet still drafted another smallish PG in Walker a year back.
The choice for Deron Williams is clear ...... the MAVS for a better shot for a title ..... the NETS for max money & max years.
Hope they don't screw up the #2 pick this Friday. Maybe they'll pick Drummond :D
This is Cho's & Higgins' draft now
You can instantly look up year-by-year statistics for Boston Celtics great Bill Russell … or any other player in NBA history. You can check the injury archive of a Slovenian playing in the Spanish league or whether a forward in the Development League was ever busted for drugs.
This is Charlotte Bobcats general manager Rich Cho's baby, an Internet-friendly system that took six months and a six-figure cost to develop.
Deron Williams turned 28 on Tuesday, so the Brooklyn Nets decided to park a massive sign in front of his Manhattan house to wish him a happy birthday
Lakers interested in trading for Clippers' Mo Williams
Kyle Lowry expected to be traded by the Houston Rockets in the next 24hrs
Would Williams fit in with LA? What you'll be getting is a scoring point guard who needs to shoot to be effective.

@WojYahooNBAlike the moved.. Hope they make the playoffs next year, one of the best backcourt tandems..
Milwaukee trades Shaun Livingston, Jon Brockman and Jon Leuer and 12th pick to Houston for Samuel Dalembert and 14th pick.
I think it's too early to call the drafting of Kemba as a failure(even as a roster redundancy) in that regard since he was considered as the best player available at the time, even projected as high as the 5th pick.i heard cats is planning to trade agustin for a veteran.guard. Kemba is a very good pg to start with, kulang lang talaga sa maturity.. Anyway, ilan lang naman talaga ang mabilis nka pag adjust frm college to pro..
Last year was also the their first year (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Charlotte_Bobcats_seasons) of their rebuilding mode and they were already projected to be the worst team (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/984798-nba-predictions-2011-2012-complete-records-playoffs-seeds-all-major-awards) even before the season began, so the expectations weren't very high to begin with.
i heard cats is planning to trade agustin for a veteran.guard. Kemba is a very good pg to start with, kulang lang talaga sa maturity.. Anyway, ilan lang naman talaga ang mabilis nka pag adjust frm college to pro..Yeah, they're not completely sold on Augustin. I read somewhere that they originally wanted Brook Lopez but Larry Brown insisted on drafting Augustin instead. And Kemba/Bismack was forced to take on much larger roles than expected in their rookie season because of various players missing time due to injuries(Magette/Tyrus/ReggieW/Augustin/Henderson) or just being in the dog house(Diaw).
Hawks trying to get Pau Gasol from Lakers in trade for Josh SmithInteresting. Matagal ko na hihintay magkaroon ng shake-up ang Atlanta. Among the good teams in the NBA, Atlanta ang pinaka-boring.
Pero yung rumor na MWP for a 1st rd pick, malabo yun. Baka Lakers pa ang magbigay ng draft pick sa ibang team para lang kunin si MWP.
MWP for Heat's 1st Round pick. ;D ;D ;D
Magkano ba salary ngayon ni MWP?

as much as he's messed up on the psychological side of things..
he's still a good (not excellent though) defender and can score once in a while.
But why would a GM take on a bloated contract for a first rounder where even a 30th pick would still be as serviceable.... maybe more than serviceable and definitely be cheaper and w/o a guaranteed headache?
you'll never know. :D
there are several bone headed GM's (and team owners too!) out there. ;D

Interesting. Matagal ko na hihintay magkaroon ng shake-up ang Atlanta. Among the good teams in the NBA, Atlanta ang pinaka-boring.
they're probably after his 3 point shooting and his familiarity with Mike Brown's system

eh di ba ito yung PG ni LBJ sa Cleveland before? sus, tingin ko wag na l;ang eh di naman effective to eh

Dang, the Pistons are really lucky Drummond fell to #9.
Share ko lang...
His AIRNESS is still one of the best ;)

I was also surprised he fell down the draft that much.
sino ba pinakamagaling na rookie sa draft?
Lamar Odom returns to the Clippers and Mo Williams goes to the Jazz~
Lakers also drafted an "Odom" :D
How I wish Lamar is in a Lakers uniform...
miami in the plans for ray allen?
http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2012/06/29/miami-in-the-plans-for-ray-allen/?ls=iref%3Anbahpt1
Ray Allen would be an excellent acquisition for Miami, just imagine him coming off the bench to relieve Dwyane Wade.
Miami is also rumored to be in the hunt to sign Chris Kaman, who's now an unrestricted free agent.
miami's got some real deep pockets. aren't they on the limit with three big contracts? mukang gusto nila i secure ang kanilang repeat
The Heat spent years making sure they would have the spending capability to land a trio like James, Wade and Bosh in 2010. This summer, Riley and the Heat will go into free agency only able to offer the mini mid-level exception of $3 million, or a veteran's minimum contract of about $1 million, or the ability to package some future draft picks in trades. Moving players through trades is another option, though Riley said the Heat are "not exploring" that yet.
2013-2014 pa yung harsher luxury tax, mga sir. Pwede pa sa full MLE si Kaman o si Ray Allen sa 2012-13 season.
^Ah 3 mil, lang pala. Pero yung harsher luxury tax, next yea (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2012/6/26/3114701/nba-draft-2012-rumors-rudy-gay-luol-deng)r pa.
kaya hindi makaporma ang Lakers sa free agency, matindi ang payroll nila eh. ;D
correct if me im wrong..
but the harsher luxury tax is meant to prevent teams from getting multiple superstars with superstar contracts, right?
I think it's more of preventingf richer organizations out-bidding modest teams to sign superstars.
The most serious one came when Arison responded to a fan who wrote: "How's it feel to be apart of ruining the best game in the world? NBA owners/players don't give a damn about fans and guess what? Fans provide all the money you're fighting over & you greedy (expletive) pigs. Arison replied: "You are barking at the wrong owner."
@SpearsNBAYahoo
Celtics to re-sign forward Kevin Garnett to a three-year, $34 million deal, sources tell Yahoo! Sports.
Raptors Expected To Offer $12M Annually To Steve Nash (http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/221903/Raptors_Expected_To_Offer_$12M_Annually_To_Nash)
Ang mahal pa pala ni Garnett ano? :-\
consistent double double pa rin kasi ang contribution niya
but you can't be sure that he will still have the same performance for three years. probably this year double-double performance but you can't be assured that he can perform in that level for 82 games for 3 years. sama mo pa playoffs. IMO, good for KG, bad for the C's.

Random notes on the FA market which officially begins today:
* The Brooklyn Nets are reportedly in talks with Atlanta for a Joe Johnson trade. Coupled with reports that Deron Williams appears to be leaning towards staying with the Nets (with Jason Kidd in a package deal), and the Dwight Howard trade request, the Nets can suddenly become a very interesting team.
* Steve Nash to Toronto is getting some attention because of the $$$ available - which means a Calderon signing by another team (to the Lakers to team up with Gasol?). But won't make sense for Nash since he prefers to join a title contender.
* Houston is blowing up its team, with Scola and Lowry now available for offers.
* Shooting guard news:
** Aside from the Heat, other teams coveting Ray Allen include Memphis and Phoenix. But I'm betting he stays in Boston.
** Houston is also said to be preparing a sign-and-trade offer for Eric Gordon, with Kevin Martin and young players in the package. The Suns are also in the hunt for Gordon.
** The Brandon Roy comeback project: Chicago, Dallas, Indiana, Minnesota, and GS as possible destinations. IMO, Chicago would be a great fit.
** OJ Mayo is an UFA, and is being targeted by Boston.
So aside from Wade, Bosh has also begged off from the US basketball team. They're really starting to look thin up front without Howard, Aldridge, etc. - not that it's a major concern, but I guess still a concern for Coach K.
and the Dwight Howard trade request, the Nets can suddenly become a very interesting team.
and the D12 saga continues..
Sources: Dwight Howard wants trade (http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8118159/sources-dwight-howard-tells-orlando-magic-gm-wants-trade-brooklyn-nets)

Joe Johnson is overated....
Charles Barkley to Dwight Howard: "Make a decision and live with it."
Na-excite ako sa possible new big 3 ng Nets with Williams, Johnson and Howard! :) playoff contender na sila dyan for sure and they just need to fill in the role players.
In a potential move that would cripple their aspirations of eventually acquiring Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, the Brooklyn Nets are engaged in talks with the Atlanta Hawks on a deal for All-Star swingman Joe Johnson, league sources told Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--brooklyn-nets-discussing-trade-for-atlanta-hawks-guard-joe-johnson.html;_ylt=AswQMHNXHYzk7hDgX1YrFmO8vLYF).
Gerald Wallace Agrees To Four-Year, $40M Deal With Nets
Gerald Wallace is a hardworker.. He was a one-time All-Star, and the Bobcats' first-ever All-Star. :)
I like his style of play as well. I hope his health improves while playing with the Nets.
I'm almost certain that Dwight won't go to the Lakers. He doesn't want to follow Shaq's footsteps! Tama na yun sinasabihan siya ni Shaq na he's not the original Superman :p
What a guy. 'Yung mga may ugaling ganito ang hindi nagcha-champion eh.
BTW, shouldn't there be a new NBA season thread by now? Maybe the mods can move some of the recent discussion here to an NBA 2013 thread.
One big stumbling block, sources said, is Atlanta's insistence that Brooklyn include promising Nets guard MarShon Brooks in the trade to ensure that, in addition to shedding Johnson's hefty contract, it gets back at least one on-the-rise player.
Nets got Joe Johnson.
I have a hunch they will package Brook Lopez, Joe Johnson & a draft pick or two, or cash considerations, for Dwight Howard. :)
