2 things i need to get out....

The Cavs are still striking it out...Could it be they finally had their chemistry clicking?

and the last thing....Despite his age, Manu can still play defense! Didn't expected him to chase Kevin Martin...

Ayos! Panalo OKC tapos talo Pelicans! Hindi sa ayaw ko Pelicans, mas gusto ko lang OKC and sa tingin ko mas maganda matchup ng GSW vs OKC.

I can also see Kevin Love dealing with that. Being young, and in his prime.

Same....I can't envision him staying in Cleveland for long....

Ehem... Lakers... Ehem...

Checked out The Starters and wow, these guys are legit. I think they're one of the best basketball culturalists out there, second only to Grantland. I could do away with the goofiness, but if that's what gives them their identity, then by all means.

I really like The Starters! I don't know why they get a lot of hate. People calling them geeks and virgins.

I guess some people find it hard to understand their deep devotion and passion for the sport.
Geeks? Yes.. Basketball geeks.. What's wrong with that anyway?

Though i'm getting a vibe a little that 75% of their day is spent on anything but basketball.
But they're getting paid for it.. Which is cool.. Being paid for the doing something you love. Nothing will beat that.

I guess i'm gonna quote Dave Skylar for this..
"They hate us coz they ain't us"

kevin love asked the wolves to specifically trade him to the Cavs.. i think the Cavs was hesitant at first, but kevin love said he's committing long term and i think totoo yung talks na naka ready na yung max contract ni kevin love.. and love just told the media that he has this recurring back spasm problem.. maybe that's the reason why blatt is not letting him play sa inside masyado aside from the fact that he needs him to open the inside for bron and kyrie..

i doubt he'll do a dwight howard sa Cavs.. he's playing alongside with his NBA/Team USA friends.. if matalo sila wala sa kanya ang pressure.. and he said he wants to go to the playoffs and eventually sa finals.. well playoffs is a sure thing and mas mataas probability na makatapak siya sa finals playing sa Eastern conference sa Cleveland.. isa pa maganda ang pinapakitang support ng front office ng Cavs.. I believe the the shortest period na mag istay siya sa Cleveland w/o going in to the finals is 2 to 3 seasons.. same sa window of opportunity ng cavs to win a title while hindi pa nag dedecline masyado si LeBron..

Ehem... Lakers... Ehem...

if they (Lakers) have the money, then why not? As i stated before i am not a Lakers fan but i am concerned when Kobe finally retires...How do you make a rebuilding team competitive again?

Get Rondo as PG (I doubt Westbrook leaving OKC but you never say never). Get rid of the ineffective players. Get K-Love..Draft either Stanley Johnson or Emmanuel Mudiay..

^ Rajon Rondo is not worth it, imo.

[charliedrama]

Mavs win again! LetsGoMAvs! Next up Orlando Magic!

^ Rajon Rondo is not worth it, imo.

Pwede rin...Pero he's the one Kobe is asking to be in LA....

Talo Cavs sa Heat....Kahit wala sila sa playoff picture ngayon, talagang they can give Lebron nightmares...

B2B wins against a top 8 team

Parsons dunking over Westbrook! Goodness!!!! Chandler Bang!

He deserves to be the Player Of The Week for the West...

[skp_16]

Engot naman ng Spurs!!!

[parokyano]

full roster na grizz kanina pero off night nanaman defense nila..

[skp_16]

Goodbye playoff hopes for OKC. Ibaka out 4-6 weeks.

But durant should be making his comeback any day now. Also, the Thunder have never been deeper in their frontline. Kanter, McGeary, Collisson, and Adams.

Heck without KD and Ibaka they almost beat the mavericks yesterday.

No Conley.

[parokyano]

Yeah I forgot Conley.. regardless, they played bad defense nung 2nd half.. and imo para silang Bulls, once na disorganize ang defense, pati offense nagsa-suffer..

But they need Ibaka's defense more than KD's offense. I just hope that when KD returns, their offense is enough to win games.

^ That's true, they're going to miss Serge's shot blocking, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that they need his shotblocking more than KD. Steven Adams and Nick Collisson are both good defensive players who can make up for that gap. They don't block shots as well, but they're solid defensively.

The burden also falls on Enes Kanter....

Westbrook could not do this alone....Hope KD returns in time....Otherwise they might just get knocked off by the Pelicans...
