Looks like their Claws are sharper this season! Remember last playoff they took the Celtics to game7 in the first round. Still early to say but its definitely a good start for them.

hopefully the hawks and mike bibby will agree on a contract extension. mike bibby i think is due for free agency next season and chances are if they arent able to secure him, he will go look for other teams that have a clear chance of winning the title.

Wow...Spurs being blown out at home.

In danger of being buried in an 0-3 hole of a start.

I think its a combination of 2 things. (1) other teams have catched up or are already "on" to the spurs type of play. (2) age.

The POR-HOU game was a classic! Clutch baskets by Brandon Roy in OT, although it looks like POR should've had less than 0.8 sec. on the final possession. I'm going to check the replay later, but I swore that, in the HOU possession before Roy's game-winner, the game clock stopped to run BEFORE Yao's jumper went in the hoop. Home cooking for POR?

But a great game nonetheless! POR is looking good even without Oden.

EDITED: Forgot about the foul called on Roy when Yao made the jumper. Clock stopped when the foul was called.

Lets go Detroit!!! though I doubt they'll make the conference finals.

Some minor upsets:

Bobcats beating the Hornets.

Heat beating the Spurs.

Bulls beating the Suns.

Spurs being at 1-4 can also be blamed on their low level intensity in defense. Tapos na injured pa si Parker.

hindi yata ako sanay sa "low intensity" "defense" and "spurs" on the same sentence...

Perennial top 5 in opponents' PPG and FG%.

Now, Spurs are giving up 106 PPG, #28 in the league. Then, opponents FG% is 48%, #25 in the league.

Biggest surprise so far...

Atlanta at 4-0. And they are doing it in defense. They are in top 5 in both team defense stats. #1 in points allowed, and #3 in Opp FG %.

POwerhouses Boston and LA Lakers are also in the top 5 on both categories.

Yeah, it's a very disappointing start from my Spurs. Now that Parker will be sideline for at least 2 weeks then I think they will stay at the bottom of the standing for a long time unless Ginobili and Parker will be back sooner than expected but that too wouldn't assure the Spurs that they can catch up with the younger teams though.

4-0 for the Atlanta is really a surprise but it is too early to tell. Houston disappoints me too. I thought they are one of the stronger teams but 3 wins out of 5 games is a dismal performance considering how powerful their lineup is.

So far the player that really impresses me is Brandon Roy. Simpleng matinik.

oo nga the tide has changed...

crazy game yesterday, instant classic and sure top plays ang last 3 plays ni ROY and YAO

Rockets vs LAkers on Sunday (Monday our time). Let's see what ron puts on the table against Kobe and co.

Oh, and here are two videos to prove that Steve Nash has a sense of humor:

Thanks for the link. Was gonna watch this online Bro, but it was being shown on CS9 pala.

Shane Battier wasn't playing pala. IMHO, Battier defends Kobe better than Artest. That blowout was a surprise, seeing as the Rockets got ahead by 12 early in the first. But with Yao playing so-so and Tmac not really coming out to play, it was easy for the LAkers to overcome that deficit and take control in the latter part of the game.

Atlanta at 4-0

Another big surprise are the Washington Wizards at 0-5.
Even if Arenas is out, they should have won over the Nets, Bucks & the Knicks.
Their next 5 games are even tougher - Jazz, Rockets, Heat (2x) & the Hawks... Hope they won't end up 0-10!!!

If that happens.. goodbye, coach!
