Jon Gruden, Don Nelson: Knowing Your Enemy Is The Key

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Don NelsonMy friend Julio told me before the start of this series that the Golden State Warriors have a greater chances to upset the Dallas Mavericks than the Lakers against the Phoenix Suns. He was convinced that the three games which the Warriors won all of them were not fluke at all.

Julio is right than Charles Barkley who predicted that the Mavericks would win 4-1. Even all the ESPN and TNT analysts couldn’t believe and are stunned of what is going on. If you are an spectator, the game Sunday night was a thriller and amazing.

There may be a lot of reasons why the Warriors are leading 3-1 in the series but I am (more…)

Jamarcus Russell’s Video In The NFL Draft

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

Still wondering why the Raiders had let go of Randy Moss. Whom does Jamarcus Russel going to throw the ball now? Well, expect the Raiders to be at the bottom again. It would take them three years to rebuild.

And if the Raiders knew that they were trading Moss, why didn’t they pick Calvin Johnson? We can’t judge this decision at the moment but let’s see what will be the impact of Russell. (more…)

Chicago Bulls, No Longer Babies

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

It’s not Dwayne Wade. Not even Shaquille O’Neal. It is the complete dominance of the Chicago Bulls as they defeated the defending champion Miami Heat, 104-96.

This time the Baby Bulls have grown and matured enough to win a playoff series. This time they are ready to put the Heat in an early vacation. This time they will be filling up the great memories voided by the Jordan-led team.

Pistons Ends Game 3 Curse

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

For six in a row when leading a 2-0, the Detroit Pistons hasn’t won the third game. This time they changed their fate.

Tayshaun Prince scored 23 points and Chauncey Billup with 21 to defeat the Orlando Magic 93-77 and takes a 3-0 lead in the first round of the playoff series.

Everytime a curse is lifted, a great team must play their best but this time the Pistons had a sub-par performance but good enough to get past the Orlando.

Chris Webber added 15 points and seven rebounds.

The Orlando Magic didn’t get that much as Grant Hill and Hedu Turkuglo were 6-of-22 shooting.
