What a great way to finish a great season. Lakers came back in the final 5 minutes to grab their 16th championship and make Kobe look a fool. Don’t get me wrong. I absolutely agree, Kobe is by far the best player in the league. He can make shots even if they blind folded him, but his character and childish attitude will still dominate headlines. Seriously, he is the only player who has his wife and two kids waiting for him in the tunnel AT HALFTIME?!?!?!!?? She really does not trust him. Would you?
To sum it all up, Congrats Lakers. [...]

The Off-Season Has Begun
Game 7
Yes, the Warriors aren’t in Game 7, or in any Game 7 this season but nevertheless, this Game 7 is a great way to end the NBA season. My favorite time of the year is sometime during the fall when the new season starts, but it always has to end with one team being on top of every other team in the L.
For these two storied franchises, Game 7 is the perfect way to end the season. Let’s start from the beginning. The Boston Celtics came out the games blazing, with an impressive 26-9 win record. Critics, analysts said that [...]
No News….Good News?
Because the playoffs are alive for one more night, no news of Warrior movement has been heard. I suppose that’s good right? I mean most of the news that come out of the Warriors of late, have not been the greatest….considering, 1)We are now two seasons removed from surprising everybody by making the playoffs and then defeating the number 1 seed in the west, the Dallas Mavericks, 2)Stephen Jackson is whining once again to the point where he is a distraction to the team and then he’s traded to the Bobcats, who I might add, MAKE, the Eastern Conference playoffs, [...]
So, this is the probably one of the last chances Beantown will have the opportunity to basically, “Steal” home court back. Boston has to win this one, cause winning two in LA isn’t impossible, but very, very hard to do. Don’t get me wrong, the Lakers are good, but I’m a Boston fan. I’ve always been a Boston fan since I was a kid and there would not be a better feeling if the Celtics took another championship from the Lakers. But the battle has only begun, as this three game series will forever change the dynamics in this storied [...]
RIP John Wooden
Sad news for all of sports worlds today. John Wooden, 99, died this afternoon in Los Angles. The winningest coach in UCLA was battling health conditions for a while. According to ESPN, Wooden was already admitted into the hospital on May 26 and was in grave condition yesterday. He holds many records in the NCAA including the 88-game win streak, that has yet to be broken. An iconic figure throughout the basketball community, Wooden made a impact in all sports both the women’s and men’s sports. Not only is this a loss fro the sports world, but it is a loss [...]
Play Off Time!
Sad to say that the Warriors are in this mix. With that said though, there are a few series that have wrapped up and ready to get into second round. First and foremost, I like to root for the underdog, only cause no one expects them to win and you always find out who the true stars are. Well the playoff series between the really underdogs of Oklahoma City versus the Lakers have been a series to watch! Who could have though that the Thunder would win back to back games against the powerhouse? Clearly, something is not clicking with [...]
Quick Roundup
Ever since the Warriors’ season has ended, there have been few posts. Mostly cause the first round of playoffs were boring, minus the Thunder and Lakers, and the second round was even more boring, minus the Celtics and Cavs. Think about it. Magic blew out their opponents in the first 8 games by double digits and contributed to the rest of league as most of the series were sweeps or 4-1. Only the Celts and Cavs came to Game 6. So now here we are in the conference finals as both the Celtics and Lakers (no surprise right?) are up [...]
Post-Season….
The title doesn’t really mean that the Warriors are in post season, but take it literally, after season. The Warriors finished near the bottom (again) and it doesn’t seem any different from any other year. The only good thing is that we can start off a new fresh season next year with more twists and turns. There are several good things that came out of this year besides the dismal ending.
First, I’d like to thank all my readers for reading this blog. It may not be the most popular, but I appreciate everyone’s comments. I also appreciate all those who [...]
College BBall
I know this blog is suppose to be about the Warriors, but I can’t help but putting my two cents in about college basketball. Did you see the boy’s finale? It was an intense game, but well worth watching! I’m not going to lie, I was rooting for the underdog, Butler, the whole time. I am a little disappointed that Duke won, but last night’s color commentator said it perfect. No one lost that game, just Duke was able to get more points at the end of the day. You can tell that Butler played their hearts out. No one [...]
Ending on a high note…
Next couple of posts will pretty much wrap up the Warriors season. It’s been a long and rough one, but not without excitement. With the last victory against a decent team, the Toronto Raptors, the Warriors mustered a 113-112 win in Canada to help Nellie secure win # 1, 1332. Not only did the Warriors gain a solid win, they also move Nellie to tie Lenny Wilkens’ win record. Any win the rest of the season will give Nellie the all time win record as a coach. Withstanding a 42 point performance, Warriors’ Corey Maggette scored 31 points and Stephen [...]
