The size of the hurdle has been reduced. Can Phoenix win 1 game in LA. Thats what they need and of course it falls into the hands of Amare. It’s doubtful that the Suns stellar bench performance will be repeated on the road. But the X factor is now the ZONE> Phoenix has decided to [...]

Artest is The X Factor in the Lakers Quest For A Repeat—LA 95 Thunder 92 –Lakers Up 2-0
April 21st, 2010 · No Comments · NBA
Montrose Christian’s Kevin Durant is the real deal, scoring 32 last night. But it was a few key plays by Ron Artest that turned the tide for LA. Artest plays the game a la Dennis Rodman — doing the things that most Superstars must push themselves to do–rebound and playing in your face defense. He [...]
Ron Artest Signed By the Lakers–Svengali Has Lost His Marbles
July 3rd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Wizards
I know Artest is a great defenseman. I Know he carried the Rockets on his back. But adding a time bomb like Artest to a Championship team? WHY? What is Jackson thinking. Trevor Ariza was a key ingredient to the title run and now he is gone. Apparently its all about salary cap problems.Good luck [...]

Lakers, Kobe Ease into NBA Title–10th for the Svengali!!!!
June 14th, 2009 · No Comments · NBA Playoffs
Well I called this one right, Lakers in 5 and game 5 was never in doubt after the 1st quarter. Kobe just weaved the game throughout the entire team and was truly deserving of the Playoff MVP award he won. This is the 10th Title for Phil Jackson placing him one ahead of the late [...]

Kobe Tries to Clinch 4th Title Tonight—Prediction
June 14th, 2009 · No Comments · NBA Playoffs
5th games when 1 team is up 3-1 usually go the blow out rout and not necessarily by the team trying to clinch. The Lakers could conceivably come out flat knowing the next 2 games are at home. On the other hand how much will the choke job by Van Gundy and the Magic affect [...]

Lakers Go Up 3-1 With 99-91 OT Thriller–Missed Foul Shots Doom Orlando
June 12th, 2009 · 2 Comments · NBA Playoffs
Derek Fisher show signs of “Big Shot Bob Horry” with 2 monster 3s down the stretch as the Lakers struggled to overcome a terrific defensive performance from Dwight Howard. Superman finished the game with 21 rebounds and 9 blocked shots, but missed 2 crucial free throws , either one of which would have clinched the [...]

Game 4 Lakers Orlando—Synopsis
June 11th, 2009 · No Comments · NBA Playoffs
The NBA Championship is usually decided in game 4. Why? One team is usually up 2-1 and one more win just about wraps up the title. LA WILL WIN TONIGHT. I am almost positive. It took 62.5% shooting by the Magic to pull out the win on top of 5 missed free throws by Kobe [...]

Orlando 110 Lakers 95–Magic Will Win Tonight!!!!!
June 9th, 2009 · 2 Comments · NBA Playoffs
The energy level will be off the charts tonight and Dwight Howard will lead the way for Orlando tonight. Superman will get the calls finish his dunks and lead the Magic to its only win of the series. Orlando must get itself into transition to win and I am sure Stan Van Gundy will have [...]

Orlando in Must Win Situation vs Lakers and Kobe
June 7th, 2009 · 2 Comments · NBA Playoffs
In the game about to start in a few minutes, the Magic must win tonight to have any kind of chance against LA. I have never liked the NBA Finals 2-3-2 format. If the Lakers win again all they have to do is win1 in Orlando to have 2 shots to win at home for [...]
