Opening Nignt 2009

"WE ARE GOING TO WIN THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP"                                           Doc Rivers before tonights game

Four games opened the brand new NBA season started with the debut of Shaq in Cleveland teaming with LeBron James as they faced off against the Boston Celtics. The Celtics steal this one in Cleveland and the highlight of the game was LeBron's block on Rondo as he thought he has a clear cut dunk. Boston is on a mission to win title #18 but Cleveland needs to add another scorer to take the load of LeBron.

Both Wizards & Trailblazers were also victorious and that's all you need to know. Gilbert Arenas is back and Greg Oden played a full game without getting hurt. 

Finally in Los Angeles......Magic, Kareem, Tex Winters, and Rick Fox were among the Laker greats who were present as Kobe collected ring #4 and the Laker franchise raised banner #15 overall. Without Blake Griffin for 6-8 weeks the best players on the floor for the Clippers were Eric Gordon & Sebastian Telfair. I think Telfair will be alright playing in LA backing up Baron Davis because if he fails, he's out the league like his cousin.

Just two more days until my Bulls open up the season at the United Center against the Spurs. Hope Pooh & Co. can pull this one out. Still can't believe Captain Kirk was named the team captian. Oh well......

NBA 2009-2010 Rookie of the Year is…..

With one week left to go before the NBA regular begins, Karl Malone in training aka Blake Griffin already has the Rookie of the Year trophy in his Los Angeles condo. Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings are nice and will also start but none will average a double double during the season as Griffin will. The 6′10 has the ball handling, strength, finess, back to the basket, and low post moves to become the next great power forward in NBA history. For the next 82 games, Griffin will have to deal with the likes of KG,  Duncan, Dirk, Brand, and company on a nightly basis. Expect Griffin to have a similar rookie year as former power forwards Derrick Coleman and Chris Webber whom also won Rookie of the Year back in 1990 and 1994.

Don't believe me...just ask DJ from the Lakers:

Will Bynum NBA 2009-2010 6th Man of the Year

I’m sitting here watching the sorry Washington Wizards training camp on NBA TV and they’re talks that Gilbert Arenas is not 100% and might come off the bench. Common sense will tell you that won’t happen but that got me to think who will win the NBA 6th Man Award this season? Ben Gordon is now a starter with the Detroit Pistons the 6th man of the year will come from that organization. The winner is……..Chicago’s very own Will “The Thrill” Bynum. 


The Thrill came on very strong after the Allen Iverson’s “season ending injury”. Not Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Vinnie Johnson, Bill Lambear, Rip, Chauncey, or ‘Sheed, Jerry Stackhouse but Bynum holds the franchise record for most points in a 4th quarter with 26. Coming out of Craine HS (aka Handles U…see Collins, Sherron) his ball handling skills have always been lethal and playing with a mad heart, he’s making Chicago very proud. Why Bynum for 6th man?


It’s simple the Pistons are in a rebuilding phase and with my prediction of Rip Hamilton being traded early in the season, that will move Ben Gordon into the starting lineup with Will Bynum being the first player off the bench. He’s become a better point guard since his stint overseas and should be able to penetrate and get to the rim with ease this coming season. Just a quick is TJ Ford, Derrick Rose, and Chris Paul, Bynum also has the springs like Ronnie Fields to dunk and any defender from 5′10 to 7′0. Mark my word that this prediction will come true with Jason Terry coming in second.


Stay tune to my next blog as I make updates to the upcoming seasons.  

I'm Sorry Ms. Jackson

We interrupt my basketball blog to concentrate on a personal matter concerning me. I hope this person reads this and hopefully we can talk soon. 


We have loved, broken up, gotten back together, then started all over again. The other day I left two hateful voicemails & text messages out of anger. I did not mean any of those words. 


When I left your grandmother's house last Tuesday, I followed you a few blocks out of anger. I have never been so upset with you that I was not in my right state of mind. We haven't been together in over a year but I've always valued your friendship and companionship. I calmed down that night and felt really bad I left those hateful messages on your phone. We were both pissed off each other that night and I hope you realize that I'm not a hateful person. 


Think what you want about me but your grandmother was not going to get that $20 until I finished work. When I leave early I have a certain time to get home (I was trying to rush home to get back to work). It was a coincidence that you called me right when I finished work. Had you arrived earlier you would have seen me knocking on every door because I could not remember which apartment was hers. Please forgive me as I did not means to say those mean & hateful words towards you. OK folks, next week I'll continue to breakdown the upcoming college & NBA season.

Training Camp Has Arrived

Finally NBA training camp has arrived and NBA TV is airing Real Training Camp. NBA TV has aired the  Lakers & Nuggets training camp with more teams to follow. Let's hope the show only contenders not Lottery bound teams. Putting a microphone on Larmar Odom was classic. Speaking of the Queens native............THE WEDDING!!!!!
Finally NBA training camp has arrived and NBA TV is airing Real Training Camp. NBA TV has aired the  Lakers & Nuggets training camp with more teams to follow. Let's hope the show only contenders not Lottery bound teams. Putting a microphone on Lamar Odom was classic. Speaking of the Queens native............THE WEDDING!!!!!

Lamar Odom recently married the unattractive Kardashian (Khloe) after only dating for one month. Report are that Odom tried to work things out with his baby mama but after she turned him down he met Khloe and the rest is history. I have two theories about this. The unattractive Kardashian caught the Queens forward right after he inked his new deal with the Lakers or this entire marriage is just another Hollywood marriage that's a sham and won't work. I believe my last though that this whole marriage is a publicity stunt and they'll be divorced by this time two summers from now.

Last night the Bulls played the Pacers in preseason action and it appears TJ Ford has lost his game. Simeon's own Derrick Rose played like it was a regular season game destroying Luther Head and everybody else that got in his way. Shaq & LeBron faced each other in practice today but the next time, they destroy the NBA Central and everybody in the Eastern Conference not named Boston or Orlando.

In the west, Kobe & Phil Jackson are already designing the parade route come June 2010. They're debating if they should start the route in Compton, Hollywood, South Central, Inglewood, or USC.

Meanwhile in college, Midnight Madness is around the corner and my early Final 4 prediction is Michigan State, Kentucky, Washington, with Kansas cutting down the nets.
