I don’t know what game Stan Van Gundy was watching but one on one defense against Kobe just isn’t going to work. #24 wound up with 40 points on 16-34 shooting and Superman Dwight Howard was held to 1-6 from the field. I was thinking Lakers in 6 but after this game make that 5 [...]

Orlando PG Jameer Nelson Might Be Ready For Championship Series
May 31st, 2009 · No Comments · NBA Playoffs
The Magic is a much better and deeper team with its PG in the lineup. He seems to be making progress but this could just be a Van Gundy ploy to disrupt the Lakers preparation for the title series. Dwight Howard to be on a mission but Kobe is Kobe and the Lakers win easily [...]

Kobe Still #1 as Lakers Clinch Western NBA Title
May 29th, 2009 · No Comments · NBA Playoffs
40 Games in 40 nights has proven one thing to me: Kobe Bryant is still the best player in basketball. Sorry Melo, LeBron, Dwight –Kobe plays 48 minutes, takes a beating without complaining, and is able not to wear down. No matter who wins the East it’s the Lakers in no more then 6 games [...]

Melo Scores 31 in a Losing Effort Denver Trails 3-2
May 28th, 2009 · No Comments · NBA Playoffs
I said the other day that Carmelo is beginning to face being worn out at the end of games. Wednesday night was no exception. The Nuggets looked frozen in time for the first 2 minutes of the 4th quarter and totally threw away game 5 to the Lakers. It almost seems like this Denver [...]

Chauncey Billups Scores 24, Denver Evens Series With Lakers—But Carmelo’s Condition Could Seal the Nuggets Doom
May 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Ba Ba Ba Billups was incredible last night playing 42 minutes with 0 turnovers, that’s right 0. The Lakers are stinking out the joint, for the time being. But, the Nuggets might be able to win at home without a great performance from Melo, but not on the road. Carmelo is not himself playing on [...]

George Karl Blows Game 1—Carmelo Fantastic in 105-103 Loss
May 19th, 2009 · No Comments · NBA Playoffs
The Score is 101-99 Lakers, Denver ball and who does George Karl allow to throw the ball in 6’2 Anthony Carter. Phil Jackson puts Lamar Odum on him and sure enough Carter throws the ball away and that was that. Melo was incredible 39 points with 14-20 from the field. Of course Kobe got every [...]
